Revenue and profit are not the same thing. To put this in perspective, nearly all ai companies are operating at a loss. A massive loss of billions of dollars.

Anthropic is the main exception but they are subsidized by aws, google, and meta. For example Amazon invests billions of dollars into Anthropic. Anthropic then uses that cash to then buy computing power from Amazon.

I understand how the average person doesn’t fully comprehend the very real physical limits of cloud computing because end users are usually pretty far removed from them. Growing up with the internet at your fingertips it can all seem sort of magical and unknowable.

But if you actually work in cloud computing ai evangelism is willful ignorance. You should know better.

Like. It'd be entirely for my own enjoyment. Amd the transcripts are freely available. So i figure there's no issue there.

It just would be fun to read Woe.Begone.

But yeah no, I'd need to set some money aside for it, cause it's gonna take a lot of paper and ink.

This is a capitalist system so yeah rainbow capitalism is not real pride but it is/was also a reflection of the fact that queer people could be visibly queer and considered worth marketing to. It also carried with it the implication that it was at the very least socially risky to be queerphobic. At least openly.

This does not make brands “allies” or “woke”. It’s a barometer.

posting a bit late, but this was my contribution to the WOE.BEGONE fanzine: WOE.BEZINE 💫 The zine is full of thought-provoking essays, amazing art and fics that brings out the best of the show:) amazing work from all contributors. make sure to check it out if you haven't already!

or: Plural Characters Without Plural Representation

i wrote an essay about plurality and representation in this one audio drama but also kinda in general. it's written without any knowledge of the show required. mostly it's thinking through, like, maybe "representation" isn't a great model for thinking of plurality (at least) in fiction, "accidental plurality" in fiction, and maybe we shouldn't pester authors for representation or explicit identity labeling when reading is where the meaning is made anyway, idk.

i hope people like it. :)
