A wonderful collection from Wayne State University Press which reveals how the very form/structure of our prose speaks to the status quo. A push into the interlacing of imagination and politics.

Pro writing tip:

Be careful not refer to bad people as "viscous."

While it's true that some villains may well resemble walking human syrup, I'm pretty sure that what you actually mean is "vicious."

#Scraped & bruised,
my heart refuses to die.
Pulled&torn like
exposed tree bark,
it continues to feel,
carrying love&light.
It's a minor thing, nothing noteworthy. A miracle, a spontaneous hope, born
from a tiny seed. At times,
spasms wrecked my heart's inner chamber but it continues to live, refusing to become a hallow vessel of despair&hopelessness

Le souper est fini. La table débarrassée. Ma femme se prépare pour sa séance de sport. Training et baskets. Je me prépare pour la vaisselle. Eau chaude et gants jaunes.

— Quand tu auras deux minutes, tu descendras les linges à repasser ?

C'est une question rhétorique. J'aurai le temps. TINA comme ils disent.

Je termine la vaisselle.

Je monte en pensant à Sisyphe qui descend. Je nous imagine dans l'escalier central du château de Chambord. Il descend, je monte. Nous ne nous croisons pas mais sommes également libres.

Je descends les bras chargés des linges. Je les dépose sur la table. Je descends à la cave. Si ça se trouve Sisyphe remonte sa pierre. Et s'il était aussi libre en la montant ? Les Dieux l'auraient mauvaise. Cette perspective m'enchante. Je ne crois pas en Dieu. Peut-être y ai-je cru. Mais il est mort maintenant. Après ? C'est le néant. TINA. Je décide qu'il l'est. Libre.

Comme moi qui décide de boire une canette de Coca.

Il paraît qu'une canette de coca c'est huit minutes de vie.

La liberté a un prix.

Also I did a blog post on half a youtube video I watched btw https://write.as/mxverda/you-are-a-product-of-your-environment-despite-what-descartes-told-you/

(I tried to write a comment, ended up writing a blog post instead, realised the link I posted in the comment was wrong, and now my comment doesn't exist anymore anyway. Youtube is a pain. )

#blog #writing #prose #commentary #philosophy #youtube #revolutionary #revolutionaryth0t #video #science #ScienceMastodon

Cory Doctorow, a fellow #Canadian, writes a lot of interesting stuff. I agree with his positions on many things, but not all. For example, I'm about ten thousand percent behind his opposition to anti-circumvention laws; I was one of the thousands of Canadians who wrote to the government opposing the introduction of the law many years ago.

However, his blog on Thursday, staking out the position that opposition to "AI" (LLM) is just geeky #purity culture is somewhere between "flat-out wrong" and "disingenuous at best".

My position against #LLM #slop everywhere is both because of #ethical #concerns and practical ones. There does not exist an LLM right now that was built and trained ethically; they are all statistical plagiarism machines, and speaking as someone whose #prose and #code has been plagiarized by every single one of them, that pisses me off, royally.

That's a show-stopper for me, but even if it wasn't, the #practical concerns - that the output is #untrustworthy, that the #references can't be checked, that the #code is #insecure and #unmaintainable, that the #licensing status is unclear, that it's a #copyright violation - are *also* enough to rule out #LLMs at present.

He then presents a #strawman argument - all tech is fruit of the poisoned tree, the #transistor was invented by a racist, etc. But William Shockley is not designing or manufacturing any of the transistors / #ICs I use today.

So, @doctorow - I gotta say I disagree. And that's fine.

Oh, and I'm ruling out M. Night #Shyamalan because #technically he's a #screenwriter and #director, not an #author of #prose.

💻🤖 "AI #made #me #dumb," cries the guy who only ever wrote "Hello World" in 12 languages. 🎉 Congratulations on discovering that #outsourcing #your #brain doesn't yield #Shakespearean prose! 📚✍️
