Searoad, de Ursula K. Le Guin é provavelmente o melhor livro de língua inglesa que li na vida. Até aqui considerava qualquer McCarthy imbatível, mas o meu amor pela prosa de Le Guin desabrochou com a ficção fantástica e neste livro encontrou o seu expoente máximo.

Anyway this changes little about the fact that capitalism must be destroyed and socialism must be built. Thank you

Kafka's short story collection
Joke-but-not-a-joke answer: The Bible
Quote this with a book you read way too young that explains why you are the way you are.
I'll start: John Gardner's Grendel.

'you can generate a different ending every time you view a movie!'
'you can have endless text conversations with NPCs in games!'
'you can summarize a novel, you don't have to read it!'
the pitches for genAI really reveal how much the people behind it just... hate art.
like. *hate* art. deeply.

O pior de tudo, além do óbvio, é mesmo a divisão que tudo isto causa na sociedade. A cada ciclo eleitoral, a cada crescimento da extrema-direita, mais fundas são as trincheiras, mais vasta a desconfiança. Cada opinião escrutinada para perceber se alguém votou CHEGA.
E assim, divididos, perdemos.

“AI” really is the end result of american consumer culture. it’s the baby pacifier of a vocal subset of people who were raised to have zero interest in learning or discovery or creativity; they just want instant gratification via a computer that spits their preferred art/music/politics back at them.
it’s not an exaggeration, these people are actually illiterate!

i think the fallout of the latter scenario has pretty much defined the right’s propaganda strategy for the past 15 years: why read & report when you can just post out of context snippets on twitter and then manufacture a juicy scandal narrative to own the libs and satisfy your audience?

Composing soundscapes for a guinean ballet has been such a gratifying experience. Hope to get a similar experience soon.

I don't think internet culture was destined to be inherently right wing. But the speed and totality with which the right continues to codify almost of all of it is such a seismic cultural loss for leftist politics that you'd basically have to invent an entire new internet and start again to fix it.
