« Retrouver une forme de sérénité, c’est peut-être accepter de redevenir invisible aux yeux de l’algorithme pour redevenir présent à soi-même. Car si exister, c’est être vu, alors vivre, c’est sans doute accepter, par moments, de disparaître. » https://www.ledevoir.com/actualites/le-devoir-de/980693/alienation-marxiste-narcissisme-social-ere-algorithmique

🗨️ Tom décrit son parcours de travailleur pauvre, obligé de faire des pauses au RSA, pour souffler et récupérer entre deux périodes d’exploitation.
🗣️ Il dépeint l’absurde, chronophage et anxiogène dédale bureaucratique que lui a fait emprunter la cellule de contrôle RSA ainsi que son impitoyable modus operandi, destiné à épuiser et faire craquer les allocataires pour qu’ils renoncent à leurs droits.

“A rat race is for rats. We’re not rats. We’re human beings.”
Shipyard union leader James Reid was elected Rector of the University of Glasgow in 1971. He gave his rectorial address #OTD, 28 April, 1972. The New York Times reprinted it, & called it the greatest political speech since the Gettysburg Address. Read it online at

@tef @vfig @EndlessMason Certainly work can be thought of as a pleasure or a burden to some degree. Intensive production whether manual or automated accelerates #alienation and #conflict Overproduction is not sustainable and idleness does not produce creativity. All, is not for the best if people don’t do their best for each other. If just for a very few technology serves and protects those who abuse and destroy capital. Work, is for the worst! The good is for the many, the worst is for the few.

‘The art of logic therefore being (as we have mentioned), too late a precaution,[1] and in no way remedying[7] the matter, has tended more to confirm errors, than to disclose truth. Our only remaining hope and salvation is to begin the whole labor of the mind again; not leaving it to itself, but directing it perpetually from the very first, and attaining our end as it were by mechanical aid.’ Lord Bacon’s MCMII, Novum Organon #Art #Logic #Philosophy #Mechanisation #Experimentation #Alienation #Ai #ApocalypseEmpires #AbnormalEthics #ForItsOwnSake !

idle brain – the sin of being born
It's a beautiful world but the problem is I don't know what beautuy is anymore. A bird flies, but those with no wings say flight is beautiful. Those who believe in free will say flight is freedom, but what does a bird know about freedom and will? I'm not an intellectual, so perhaps I may never understand what Beauty is. We know nothing of birds either, just the anatomy. What about qualia? Bird's eye view, my ass. We think that's how a bird sees. Even if it does what does it perceive?

"Chatbots can be regarded as subjects without subjectivity because they lack those characteristics that make us actual subjects in the first place: biographically shaped trajectories of the past, which are themselves preconditions for self-reflection and, with it, for efforts at social transformation. AI’s responses do not arise from actual experience but from the statistical aggregation of other people’s pasts.
Whereas human subjectivity essentially involves reflection on one’s own past and is therefore capable of self-transformation, the chatbot merely reproduces the dominant thinking of the documented past. In this sense, it tends toward the stabilization and reproduction of the status quo.
For instance, as highlighted by AI ethics expert Zinnya del Villar, language models like GPT and BERT often associate jobs such as “nurse” with women and “scientist” with men, reflecting stereotypes embedded in their training data from historical texts and media. Similarly, when trained on past hiring examples rife with bias — such as résumés favoring men for technical roles — these systems perpetuate gender discrimination by filtering applications in ways that reinforce outdated norms, rather than innovating beyond them through critical reflection."

Reading the OpenClaw README.md SMH wondering, "who would want this?". Then seeing the list of sponsors, and wondering, "why do they want this?".
What the fuck is this about?
I know I'm not like other folk. When the Nokia Lumia phone went to market, I was wondering why the CEO was talking about its polycarbonate case, like why would anyone care about the box their computer comes in? Apparently, people do care about that shit. And they like self-hosted gambling. 🤷

Been listening to this album on repeat while writing a review, and this track in particular is my fave. I would have believed Daniel Kahn wrote it himself, it's so on brand for him, but no: it's a translation of an equally funny 1963 German song by Georg Kreisler.
