Me: Yeah when the Ptolmaic dynasties collapsed the temple system in egypt ran out of money. It was hard to find alchemical work so I moved to Alexandria. I'm living with like, four other eunuchs in a scriptorium closet.
Cobblers "son" with shaky eyeliner: Ma'am your arms are quite well defined for an alchemist.

i think a large part of my problem with the ai labor issue is that i just kinda hate labor period. and this is probably on some level autistic black-and-white thinking, which means its probably a good thing that i am not the one writing laws
but still
i just can't get behind the idea that you have a right to labor opportunities. that's a really really weird thing to argue. you have a right to food and shelter and all that, "something to keep you from the devilish idle hands" is not really an important thing.
and like, as long as the proposed solutions are actually feasable and narrow enough to address the specific problem (like, idk, some sort of worker to robot ratio, or tariffs or something, like humans are now the fuckin DEI hire), i wouldn't OPPOSE the idea. it is, technically, better than nothing.
but its still stupid to me cause best i can tell, CEOs have been wringing the workforce dry for ages, outsourcing to countries with worse labor standards, hiring one employee to do the work of 3, using rotating schedules that you have to pick out THAT WEEK so that its near impossible for any one person to have much control over their workload.
i do understand that "simply fix the system" is a pretty tall order. but if ai actually does succeed in doing away with the majority of the workforce over the next few decades, we may have to go with that solution whether we like it or not. cause "we COULD do the work for free, or we could do it for lower quality, speed and consistency and also pay someone to do it," is not gonna be a stellar argument in the coming years.
of course, there are a few potential scenarios here that are even worse than our current predicament:
it turns out human labor IS less expensive than ai, because you can basically get slave labor if you know where to look, and humans will be, depressingly, more disposable to employers.
transhumanism takes off in the worst way possible, and we all need to upgrade ourselves to stay competitive with ai, murderbot diaries style. (i am pro-transhumanism, but i think this is what people are worried about with the rich assholes that promote transhumanist ideas. the problem is more about literally selling pieces of yourself to stay alive, which i think we can all agree would be fucked.)
i cant really count out either of these scenarios, but dear lord i hope we can manage the "decouple labor from your right to live and let automation take care of the tedious and annoying bits of maintaining a society" good ending.
Happy Pride Month !!
The thing about the whole AD vs CE vs whether it's all just cosmetic discourse is that it totally ignores where this numbering system comes from. We should just call it what it is: Bede notation.
It was invented by one person for a specific purpose - to have a universalizable way of establishing historical dates, rather than having to deal with dynastically based date systems. And it was a really good idea. This is not surprising, since Bede is basically the father of Historiography. He also is the guy who gave us the notion of Primary Sources. Bede is amazing.
When a guy revolutionizes the entire way calendaring is done, he has the right to set his zero point wherever he pleases.
People have pointed out that one problem with CE notation is that it presents itself as neutral when it is exactly the same system as AD. What exactly is "common" about this era? The zero point doesn't become neutral just by effacing its source.
(Also BCE is nonsense. Just use negative numbers)
It makes sense for scholarly tradition to not want to be tied to a specific religion. But scholarly tradition is very enthusiastic about being tied to earlier scholarly tradition. The convention of AD was established by a scholar for a scholarly purpose. We know his name. We know what he was doing, and why, and how. And he was doing it better than anybody else. That is worth honoring.
Rather than pretending that it's a neutral system, acknowledge that it's not. It's not some naturally occurring "common era," it's the system developed by Bede, centered around dates that were important to him personally (but which he intended to be universally applicable).
Like we should be honest about the facts that (a) an awful lot of people have been measuring dates this way for nearly 1400 years and changing it in a non-cosmetic way would involve a lot of seriously obnoxious bookkeeping, and (b) the zero is where it is because that's where the guy who invented the system decided to put it. "Anno Domini" is meaningless to people who aren't into that particular Dominus, and "Common Era" is meaningless period (and imparts a false appearance of neutrality). Pinning it to its creator, though, is already scholarly convention and is objective. It may or may not be the year of Our Lord, and it certainly isn't Common (whatever that means) but it is unarguably the schema developed by Bede, for better or for worse. So unless we're actually going to rebuild it from scratch, we may as well call it that. And even if we do rebuild it from scratch, we should still call it that. Because that is what it is.
Reblogging in honor of the feast of St. Bede today.
I have been informed that Bede notation may in fact have been first devised by Dionysus the Humble of Scythia to calculate the date of Easter more accurately. But my broader point stands.
Bede, yo.
So what I'm hearing is BE for Bede's Era

Since we're on the topic- Grace waking up from his coma on the ship having been provided with 3x the nutrients over the 3 ish years he was under (as it would have gone unused otherwise! Armando was just being economical) having ballooned. Initially being almost totally immobilized by his size and requiring assistance to stand. None of his stuff fits, of course, but he's got time. he can piece something together. Realizing as his memories come back that he wasn't *always* this size, but it feels quite... nice. Other than having to squeeze and squirm through all the corridors in the ship. Rocky's comments about his softness remain the same, though perhaps with a little more admiration this time
after a while it'd make sense that leif would be a lot more comfortable with kisses happy pride
