The menacing, alien, unworldly qualities of acid techno embodied in a hostile but spectacular landscape
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1SvbXLYEEc
I can’t get over how cool this is. It’s like the most spectacular visual metaphor for the menacing, alien, unworldly qualities of acid techno. The light show at the end looks for all the world like some otherworldly metallic creature has descended on Hilvarenbeek and made a territorial declaration which the humans on site have no choice but to accept. I don’t think I’ve ever heard acid techno outside the context of dingy warehouses suffused with a vague sense of incipient violence and I’m suddenly regretting my life choices.
It made me think of Nick Land’s description of the obscenity of capital, described by Mark Fisher on pg 42 of Post-Capitalist Desire:
His idea was that capital was the most intense force ever to exist on earth—that the whole of terrestrial history had led to the emergence of this effectively planetary artificial intelligence system which therefore can be seen as retrospectively guiding all of history towards its own emergence—a bit like Skynet in the Terminator films.
That is what the set design looks like to me.

When you read the source material of the #accelerationist belief system directly, it really throws into stark relief the current-day reverence for #AI, and how 'the fascists' of the 2020s (#neoreactionaries in the #Vance / #Thiel / #Musk / #Zuckerberg / #Balaji camp) fantasize about encoding their white supremacist patriarchal capitalist values into their God.
I recommend reading "#Axsys" as originally defined by #NickLand & the #CCRU
https://ccru.fandom.com/wiki/AxsysAt a #DWeb grassroots level, in hindsight it really makes a lot of sense to me that so many of the core #HOLO team and #Holochain community were involved with #NooSphere.

Salut #fediverse !
Me voilà de retour après quelques mois d'absence suite à un crash de mon instance perso (mise à jour de #Glitchsoc qui était vérolée... Arrgh).
Comme j'étais bien occupé, je n'avais pas pris le temps ni le soin de revenir...
La bonne nouvelle, c'est que, visiblement, #mastodon and co, ça ne rend pas accro et/ou dépendant•e !
Petit plaisir d'arriver et de tomber sur un post de @finnmyrstad qui nous partage une excellente illustration de l'enshittification ou emmerdification en good french !
Comme je ne l'ai pas trouvé ailleurs que sur Vimeo 🤮 , je l'ai déposé sur une instance Peertube.
https://video.liberta.vip/w/4ZrbKqU5UCBVhqQuAQZHLs
C'est vraiment excellent et cela mériterait d'être traduit dans tout plein de langue pour que le concept soit pleinement accessible au plus grand nombre.
J'ai récemment terminé un excellent bouquin « Les lumières sombres - Comprendre la pensée Néoréactionnaire » ** (sur les auteurs des #darkenlightment ) d'Arnaud Miranda** !
https://www.gallimard.fr/catalogue/les-lumieres-sombres/9782073140326
Juste après #Apocalypsenerds Nastasia Adjadi et d'Olivier Tesquet, ça donne de véritables clés de lecture des « logiques à l'oeuvre » (si si il y en a quand on sait ce que peuvent écrire des #CurtisYarvin et autre #NickLand notamment...)
C'est vraiment deux livres à lire pour les personnes qui sont ici et qui entendent tout la journée que #DonaldTrump est fou.

Au plaisir, mais surtout au plaisir de se voir dans la rue, dans les luttes ! ✊✊✊

Article in The New Yorker on how Nick Land has ‘has reemerged as one of the most influential reactionary thinkers of our time.’ And yet is also very much yesterday’s man. “They sounded like old fogeys,” said podcaster Justin Murphy, host of a 2020 LA conversation between Land and Curtis Yarvin, another influential neo-reactionary - an event that was also attended by Peter Theil. “We’ll remember this night as proof that the Dark Enlightenment is over.”

"In 2008, the academic Benjamin Noys coined the word “accelerationism” to describe Land’s vision of capitalism as an unstoppable force and traditional politics as its enemy; the term was first taken up by leftists (who argued that unfettered technological progress would lead to a fully automated socialist utopia), and then by neo-Nazis (who imagined fomenting social breakdown through terrorism). By 2022, when the machine-learning revolution had entered full swing, some in Silicon Valley began to talk of “effective accelerationism” as they advocated removing any political or moral checks on technology. Sam Altman, the C.E.O. of OpenAI, posted, “You cannot out-accelerate me” on X; Andreessen published his widely shared “Techno-Optimist Manifesto,” calling for “the conscious and deliberate propulsion of technological development . . . to ensure the techno-capital upward spiral continues forever.” In 1993, Land had described capitalism as “an invasion from the future” by an artificial intelligence that had come back in time to assemble itself from “enemy resources”—that is, mankind. Three decades later, many in Silicon Valley are starting to believe that superintelligence is on the horizon and approaching fast. If A.I. takeover is inevitable, then maybe resistance is futile. What if, instead of trying to stop it, you joined it?
“Increasingly, there are only two basic human types populating this planet,” Land wrote in 2013. “There are autistic nerds, who alone are capable of participating effectively in the advanced technological processes that characterize the emerging economy, and there is everybody else. For everybody else, this situation is uncomfortable.”"

Gestern fand an der Brechtbühne des Staatstheaters Augsburg das Theatergespräch zu "Deine Arbeit hasst Dich, weil sie dich nicht mehr braucht" statt.
