I helped make a film, out this week, called “Rovina’s Choice,” about the deaths this man without conscience or accountability has caused — already 600,000, ⅔ of them children.

Reading about this brought to mind a piece I wrote two years ago, inspired by one of my favourite authors.
Ursula K. Le Guin emphasized that there’s a big difference “between production of a market commodity and the practice of an art.” OpenAI’s AI-generated movie offers us nothing.

Something something Tower of Babylon
Many translators fear and lament what will be lost as their work gets automated. Many were never in it for the money, but for love of the work—of translating games, prose and art. They worry AI-generated output stands to flatten and collapse culture itself, our very ability to understand each other.

Drei Erkenntnisse des heutigen Tages:
1. Das Wort der Union, der FDP oder eines Friedrich #Merz ist wertloser als ein Blatt Klopapier
2. Für Neonazis gibt es nun kein Halten mehr, breite Brust und noch mehr Nazi-Parolen
3. Organisiert euch. Jetzt. Wir sind die letzte Brandmauer.

The plan was always to flood the zone with shit.
Not everyone can respond to every outrage. That's on purpose. But no need to get mad at someone for focusing on stuff *you* don't think is important. Let everyone focus on what they want to focus on.

honestly a lot of my contempt for Dems comes from the fact I’ve spent a ton of time in academic environments, and I’m extremely familiar with how academics build prestige not with actual analysis but by deploying cliches in ways that impress their peers, which is exactly how elite Dem circles work
