Bonfire and community ritual. Pay-what-you-will for each book. Then dance around the fire tearing out pages and chanting curses. Cleansing, closing ritual and aftercare at dawn.

Yes, and…. the best solution is a 24-hours continuous dance performance / rave where that is the only soundtrack. It’s you against the specter of Kramer. Can you make art? Will you be defeated by a bass riff?

It’s an ignorance multiplier. An ego amplifier. And it tends to show off the false expectations and magical thinking of it’s users.

I’m confused. Are we talking about ML in general, or blackbox LLMs trained on who-knows-what? I’ll less worried about forgetting my raincoat than a teen being advised by a chatbot to commit suicide.

News flash: Using LLMs to store “knowledge” will never work, and those systems will always hallucinate. The sales fraud and stolen content is a policy choice based on ego and arrogance.

How was one pay an algorithm minimum wage, CPU time? Do they get charged "company rent" for power, water and capital investment? Can the agents join a union? "Sorry X11254G-YY%F5R, I can't hallucinate with you. I need to earn my CPU time, and I'm behind on my memory mortgage."

The theater was decorated based on Shelly's Leg (www.historylink.org/File/22591). The "war" Dawn Pedro and Benny Dick are returning from is Stonewall. Serious history wrapped up with song, dance and Shakespeare.

Shelly's Leg (Seattle)

Shelly’s Leg (1973-1977) was Seattle’s first disco, an unapologetically gay establishment that welcomed revelers of every sexuality. It was named after Shelly Bauman, a Florida transplant

Saw it last night, set in a 70s queer club. Shakespeare is much more dramatic when all the characters are gay.

That's nicer than a lot of green rooms I've been in. Any idea if Amtrak is open to immersive theater on a moving train? Imagine an interactive "Murder on the Orient Express".

Don’t believe people who tell you ai can be liberatory or any other misappropriation of movement talk or justice frameworks. Find some people who are preparing to rebuild and cast your lot with them. Then read a bit more. Just keep your wits about you because they are trying to run game.

I taught myself to code, trying to reproduce the trench run with ascii graphics. That’s when I fell in love with code. It was Link to the Past that hooked me on video games.

Only solution is to build it yourself, with a group of nerdy friends with the same goal. Then you release it as open source that anyone can install. Use open standards for identity management ("atmosphere") and standard schema for data transfer ("lexicons"). Voila! Internet 2030, Personal Ed.

Seattle. I am climbing through your bedroom window. I am hovering over your supine body. I am your sleep paralysis demon, and I am telling you that you need to go see Noveltease Theatre and Jo Jo Stiletto's production of Much Ado About Nothing. tix.click4tix.com/noveltease

A neon green, pink, and gold poster for Much Ado About Nothing, done in the style of 70s music posters. It implies gay protests, drag discos, and more!

Sometimes you just need a hobby in space. I like finding portals. I’ve built a base at a portal in every galaxy. Flown to the center of the galaxy “the hard way”, when portals disabled warp drive. I have watched the sun rise on a hundred planets. I’ve seen c-beams glitter on the shoulder of Orion.
