Daily reminder that the underlying purpose of AI is to allow wealth to access skill while removing from the skilled the ability to access wealth.
Anyway, AI has already stolen friends’ work, and is going to put other people out of work.

I do not think a political party that claims to be the party of workers in this country should be using it. Even for just a silly joke.

My favorite, too: DEATHLESS by Catherynne Valente
What are people's most ARCHETYPICAL novels? Not your FAVORITES per se, but the ones that best exemplify your tastes in novels, distilled into a single work?

Mine is probably Susanna Clarke's "Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell."

Still thinking about how Batch '81 comments on the positionality of the burgis, and how they're the most likely to be subsumed into the machinery of repression. Goddamn Mike de Leon and Mark Gil. #BerniceWatchesMovies

Never felt as old as when I studied at the CSSP reading room. I only know I was this young because it was young enough for heartbreak.

Trying to find space for myself in IR scholarship as someone who is a writer first, and I think I’m carving it out for myself, writing on media as foreign policy vis-à-vis the international political economy. But it gets you down—because it will always get you down—how even the stories we tell—

As a writing studies person & academic (😬), I’ve honestly felt embarrassed & disappointed at how some teacher-scholars seem inclined to make peace w/ AI, trying to teach it rather than calling it out as fundamentally unethical.

But here’s an article arguing for resistance & not giving an inch.
Burn it down: a license for AI resistance (opinion)
Resistance is not futile, Melanie Dusseau writes.

#RitualsWIP TPW x UPROOTED

The crown has fallen, the magical hunted, the land diseased. Mayumi, defected healer of the Old Guard, is being summoned back, but she's not sure she believes in their cause anymore. She's not sure she believes in anything. #WritingCommunity #AmWriting
