I am so tired of short-attention-span, trim-the-fat culture. All writing advice these days is for how to write like Chuck Palahniuk. "Cut 'think', cut 'feel', cut 'wonder' - only action, only pushing forward, show and move and move and move." What if I could emulate this style, and still don't want to? What if I want to write like Henry James, with three paragraphs of introspective musings between each dialogue line? The music advice is, "make it shortform, make it Tik-Tok compatible, make it punchy, hit the refrain as soon as possible." What if I want that 10-minute prog rock piece? What if I want that symphony? What if I want it slow and luxurious and lazy? Movies. Series. Poetry. Bodies. Everything is "trimmed trimmed trimmed trimmed, stripped bare, you have three seconds to win me over, make it airport chic." I don't want to win you over, then, I guess. I want the fat left it. I want the pleasure and the indolence and the indulgence. Fuck this art-advice that's always "your art needs Ozempic."
the original post (has reblogs off) is about alterhumanity but i consider this to be an ominous sign
Oh that's sad the post got its reblogs turned off, I have featured the post on here!
‘Twas brillig, and the slithy toves A stately pleasure-dome decreed. And what rough beast, its hour come round at last, Could frame thy fearful symmetry?
they fuck you up your mum and dad two vast and trunkless legs of stone i do not like it, sam i am as small as a world and as large as alone
God moves in a mysterious way:
He gives his harness bells a shake.
What will survive of him is love
If he should die before he wake.
I had a dream, which was not all a dream. See in her cell sad Eloisa spread, Look’d up in perfect silence at the stars. I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.
A sudden blow: the great wings beating still Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun, I work all day, and get half-drunk at night.
If I should die, think only this of me, Between what I see and what I say, In this short Life that only lasts an hour Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
#i get knocked down but i get up again #o‚ what a rogue and peasant slave am i! #didnt make sense not to live for fun #do you love the color of the sky? #everybody wants to rule the world #everybody walk the dinosaur #and if i could‚ i’d make a deal with god: #to keep it real i fuck him on the floor

The whole situation with A.I. is, to me, honestly, kinda grimly hilarious. The grim part is the way that our leadership is insisting on suspending our entire economy from it; the hilarious part is the reason they’re doing that:
“A.I.” is the largest act of grift I have ever seen.
Lotsa folks on here know that what is currently being touted as “A.I.” is not, in fact, intelligent. Most folks on this backwater of a hellsite know that an LLM is naught but an overcomplicated Autocomplete.
You know who doesn’t know that?
The folks selling it.
One of the key distinctions between the 20th and 21st centuries is that, these days, most of the Leadership of large companies have little-to-no understanding of how their business actually operates. They’re hedge fund managers and financial advisors: Money People, not Engineers.
Elon Musk is a famous example: he has very little formal training in electrical engineering or rocketry or computer science, and largely got to where he is today by being a tech enthusiast who happened to inherit Apartheid Emerald Mine Money. Like the rest of his ilk, he has no need to learn these things; he can just hire the expertise. So the story goes.
But hidden behind the sales pitch for A.I. are certain conversations that you’ll only hear if you listen to boring economic summits intended for people who make more in a day than you do in a year: the Second Industrial Revolution is nigh.
The first time, (the story goes) it was manual labor; the Blue Collar Workers, who were replaced by machines. This time, the machines are going to replace your cognitive labor; you will no longer have to pay for White Collar Work; we have a Machine that does it for you!
For nearly a decade now, very wealthy people who were interested in becoming more wealthy have heard this story, and their ears have perked up, and they have cut very large checks for research and development on this most obvious of investment opportunities.
They did this because the people telling them this story truly and earnestly believed in the story themselves. I know Elon does.
Moneymen do not like cautionary tales. They do not want to hear about Betamax. They are people who have lived statistically improbable lives and have wildly miscalibrated senses of practical ground-level realities. They are that extremely small slice of people who have won everything they have ever tried and have never learned to fear failure.
There’s one major problem with the story: GenAI and LLMs cannot do what they purport to do, and they never will. The Second Industrial Revolution is not particularly nigh.
And now these Tech company’s leaders are on the hook for upwards of a trillion dollars worth of investment capital that, increasingly, is looking like it will never return a fraction of what was invested. A lot of very powerful people are getting increasingly impatient. Something was promised.
So that’s a big part of why it’s getting shoved into everything, everywhere, all at once: the wealthiest people in our society are all grifting each other to the tune of thousands of billions of dollars.
It would be so fucking funny if it didn’t threaten fucking societal systems collapse
This is all very true! Except this part:
> Moneymen do not like cautionary tales. They do not want to hear about Betamax. That part's wrong, but wrong in a fascinating way that super supports all the rest of the points you're making! Tl;dr the CEO class is motivated by stupidity-via-greed/grift , yes, and also fear. There aren't many things that can take an ultra-wealthy person and relegate that person back into less-than-ultra-wealthy obscurity. But a lot of the leadership class of companies currently feverishly following LLM hype are old enough to have lived through the CEO equivalent of a mass-extinction event: The internet. A lot of these leaders remember their peers in the late '90s and early 2000s who said "this internet thing is just a fad, it can't possibly live up to the hype, we'll just keep doing what we've been doing". There were a lot of those people at a lot of businesses! And they all got fucking obliterated by how transformative the internet was. Thousands and thousands of Betamaxes, but much more recent. That kind of burned a hole in the CEO class's collective memory. They're terrified of being the guy who thought the internet was just a fad, who went in months from being a household name to a nobody. Combine that with the repercussions of COVID on the economies of the world, and other economic instabilities (like the end of ZIRP for VC loans), and there's a feeling among them right now that any train leaving the station might be the last one ever. This also explains the amount of hype in the business world for cryptocurrency/NFTs/metaverse-type shit. It's not that all members of the CEO class are so credulous that they thought those things would be genuinely transformative (plenty of them are that credulous, but not all)--even where their credulity failed, their fear of missing the last lifeboat kept them chasing the fads. In other words the current LLM hype wave isn't just because of dollar-signs-in-eyes out-of-touch business leaders who don't know how things actually work but want endless hypertrophy amounts of money. It's also because they're existentially terrified of missing "the next internet". All of which further supports your points @asteroidtroglodyte; the idiocy in the business-leadership class's decisionmaking around LLMs is bad enough when it's just motivated by greed and stupidity. Add existential fear to that mix, and it's even stupider!
It's go away Sunday everyone go away now.
"It's thinking"
When I was probably too young to use computers, my dad showed me how to use our Windows 95 PC. He opened up Paint, let me doodle for a while, and showed me how to save. He closed the window, pointed to the icon we created on the desktop and said "Click on that twice and you can look at it whenever you want."
I double-clicked, but my masterpiece didn't appear. Nothing but a tiny monochrome hourglass. I was confused, a little frustrated. I said "Where is it?" and my dad pointed at the humming computer tower and said "It's thinking." Not a second later there was my art once again.
I can not overstate the impact of the idea that the computer is often just "thinking" and needs a second. This single-handedly made me so much more patient with technology in general.
I remember having a friend over and showing her Barbie Fashion Designer and whenever there was a loading screen she would furiously mash the left and right mouse buttons until the next thing happened. And this was the first time I experienced empathy for the machine. Like, I knew logically that computers were objects and not people, but seeing the impatient clicking still felt like I was watching someone getting hurt - being abused simply for needing more time to think than a person might.
"What is wrong with you?" is what I wanted to say. But I also figured she was never taught it that way. In a sense, my dad was also teaching me to be patient with people when they don't understand something. So I just said "We don't need to do that, it's just thinking."
She continued to mash the clicker on every loading screen.
As an adult when things go awry on the computer I find myself handling things a bit more thoughtfully, entering problem-solving mode and even asking my PC gentle questions aloud. Going into task manager to see if maybe it just has a lot on its plate, or if some app is bothering it, or if maybe I've given it a big ask just now. I give it room to breathe, I clean it, I shut it down so it can rest.
I think it's good to personify your belongings a little bit. Love your tools and they'll love you back, so they say. I've burrowed myself into a social life, line of work, and set of hobbies which are so very dependent on the machine - yet it too depends on me. So I show it some respect. After all, it's only thinking.
There's a bunch of adhd advice out there that's like "people with adhd tend to work better under deadlines due to the anxiety so here are ways to artificially induce a stress response in order to get you to get work done" and it's like well what if I don't want to be stressed out all the time in order to function
this gold shouldn't stay in the comments

Maybe if I just work harder, this empty cup will pour again
Maybe the cup needs a bit of time to rest and refill?
Maybe the cup needs to lock the fuck in???
this might piss some people off but I don’t think some of you actually ever tried to unlearn your hatefulness. you just came out as queer and decided your new targets really truly deserve it this time.
you. you get it.
