i am begging people to understand that "death of the author" (rejecting the concept of a fixed, canonical meaning for art completely dictated by its creator's intent) is not the same thing as "separating the art from the artist" (coward's apologia)

BIG thing i get teased about over the years (in playful ways, it is fine buckaroos, but a light tease none the less) is the DIRECTNESS of my titles. many who stumble upon my books will immediately comment 'the title is so long it just says what happens'. here are some of my thoughts on that...

There's a transmasculine version of this. If someone assigned female can become a man, it means there's nothing so special or powerful about men.
Each of us has the biological truth of equality between the sexes within us, as demonstrated by the ability of some to pass from one to the other.

Stop fucking saying he blamed “DEI,” which is some abstract, non-tangible idea. He is blaming people of color having jobs he thinks they aren’t qualified for. He’s blaming race. He’s being racist every time he says it. Journalists need to get fucking backbones, my word.

Trump doesn't care about TikTok.
He just cares that it's catering to him now. So he likes it today.
And now TikTok is openly supporting Trump as a company, for their own self-serving reasons.
So many companies & figures are falling over themselves to capitulate.

Just a reminder of some of the context around the TikTok ban: In 2020, Trump tried to ban it via executive order a couple months after K-pop fans used it to organize fake signups to Trump’s Tulsa rally, which led him to publicly overestimate how large the crowd size would be.

I finished teaching my Playful Theory class, a seminar for studio artists focused on games.
It was my first academic course in the post-ChatGPT era, so I tried out a few strategies to handle students potentially skimming readings and submitting AI-generated response papers.

For no especial reason, few actions that are arguably never wasted:
* Tell someone how much you appreciate them/their work.
* Feed someone. (You're someone!)
* Make something. Tear it up after, if you want. But make it.
* Ask someone how they are, then listen.
* Be kinder than is your instinct.

This is a good descriptor.
"This is what an answer to your question might look like" (based on the shape of other answers to questions)
"This is what your image might look like"
(based on actual art like what you asked for)
It's all about output in the approximate shape of other things.

join me, please, in calling them what they are:
predictive models
ChatGPT is a predictive text model
CoPilot is a predictive code model
Stable Diffusion is a predictive image model
they are not generative.
they predict what something you described might be like.
they do not make that thing

This is, incidentally, why I hate that we're calling LLMs "AI".
They don't know anything. They can't judge anything. They can't remember anything. There's nothing intelligent about what they're doing.
