The stars rain down, the constellations stagger, as false sunlight burns, as from the doors of the horizon, bringing the heavens to radiative compression. A hollow instrument inflicted upon the past. it/its >20, NSFW, weird and anti-human

Of course the act of artistic redemption and condemnation feel as though they are the same. The beauty burns at its subject and drives them with its cruelty into itself.

But, the artist can take the terrible, bereft of any great or noble qualities and wallowing in misery. But through an act of transformation this lack of quality too can be a useful canvas for the artist, and a challenging one. A contrast, a spiral towards petty tragedy, a warning for others to heed.

The already beautiful are, of course, entertaining and easy prey for the artist. Their traits can be adjusted, heightened, diminished. Their skins make for an excellent canvas that is easy to work with and direct. The artist scarcely needs to modify their appearance.

For those the ideal artist uses what voice they once had is gone, what dreams may have filled their head obliterated. Replaced with them is a puppet who wears their violated skin and dances subordinated entirely to the beauty of the act.

The form and shape of the world first takes its transformation to association, then from association and symbols a new form is drawn. In this act the artist acts as a god and reconstitutes nature as an instrument to fit their vision before projecting it into the minds of others.

The artist, with complete lightness and joy, descends into the emptiness and creates new blood and gore beneath the skin to animate it. But, naturally, has little concern with what had once existed underneath it before. It rewires and redirects in new angles.

The artist stands, merciless, as Apollo before Marsyas. The mass of flesh is judged and graded. The blood, muscle, and sinew is cast aside. It has no particular use. The artist then draws upon the skin, carving, placing new material below, making marks with paint building layers up.

The slop web design in particular feels unusual. Like there's something that doesn't match between the stable set of human aesthetics and multimodal model aesthetics.

 Are Linux and Open Source Un-American?
Community
by Steve Coe
on February 21, 2001

Jim Allchin, Microsoft Windows operating system chief, was quoted in an article about open source last week. I advise any Linux user to go and read it if you haven't already, as it's great comedy material.

According to the hive mind of Microsoft, open source should be made illegal. There's no way around it, this is the bottom line. Want to write your own code and release it into the community? Congratulations, come with us Sir/Madam, we have this nice little grey room for you. Don't worry about the bars on the windows, they are there for our protection in case you somehow manage to write a graphics viewer or a Perl script to terrorize the world.

Ordinarily, a mere underling like Mr. Allchin wouldn't be taken too seriously, but Microsoft speaks with one voice, and we all know who he is channeling.

As a member of the Linux and Open Source communities, I am appalled and outraged by his comments and wish to respond. The article shows Microsoft is scared. Very scared. So, will they build a better product? Nah, to hell with it, they'll just get the government to outlaw the competition.

Ruined oil pipes perched on by birds, the growths of once-vibrant industry emerging from the fog. Gradually in nearby empire the wealthy prepare once more to make an offering to the black sulfurous tar, hoping that its mercurial whims will bring them wealth and power.
A broken grey metal oil pipeline bent over a platform perched upon by birds. The platform and pylons emerge from grey fog.

Now ignoring the article for a moment, the image is beautiful. It has a sort of exhausted bleakness and surrealism to it. Oil platforms and competing styles of high voltage towers seemingly plucked from terrestrial existence and cast on skinny platforms above a lake.

Apollo flaying Marsays (You can see this at the V&A museum, it was a decoration made for Augustus the Strong for his gardens in Dresden.) Alas another piece of classical myth that could be immeasurably improved if it were yuri instead of yaoi.
Apollo holding Marsays upside down and flaying him alive with a knife. Marsays seems distinctly nonplussed about the overall situation.

You'd probably need some additional things. But if one fully describes the relationships of perception it seems like one would have a complete description.

Lesbian Faildaughter ⎔ @basin.zone · 29/09/2026
One supposes that it is not in the things but their relations and dynamics that they exist perceptually. (This is of course pretty compatible with the common understanding properties as sets.) So the fun thing would be to derive some eliminative position on qualia from this!

The prospect of creating artificial people seems rather regrettable. Shouldn't we hope to create something greater than ourselves, free from doubt at its purpose or the fear of death? Something unburdened by the illusions of veridical introspection and freedom?

This is a photo of our home planet taken only a few hours ago! So what? We have photos of Earth taken from space every day. Ah, but *this* photo was taken by a spacecraft ON ITS WAY TO JUPITER.
From the source: "Mostly black space, most of Earth visible at the top right of the image. Part of a spacecraft visible on the left."

As all the various different concepts that have demonstrated existence are rebranded ideas that existed before it seems uncertain. At the same time obviously some of those things (specification gaming, reward hacking) obviously are problems.

Well it depends on if it is making new novel predictions that are true, as obviously a research program can survive some of its edges being falsified while retaining its hard core. (as per Lakatos)

Audiences are not neutral entities of course. They are on average bigoted, like action, love drama, think thought terminating cliches are funny, &c. as produced by the society they are in. They are poor at selecting among journalists for any sort of truth. So they are satisfied.

Lesbian Faildaughter ⎔ @basin.zone · 28/09/2026
This one is not attributing malice per-se. Just that obviously the group of journalists (particularly journalists with big social media followings) are inevitably going to be those that are good at obtaining an audience and satisfying them. Think of their distributions. It's obvious postselection.

Lesbian Faildaughter ⎔ @basin.zone · 28/09/2026
Yeah most all are essentially some mixture of propagandists, marketers, and mass entertainers. Obviously there's a selection pressure there to become someone that can satisfy an audience.

To be fair to her argument I think she sees language pretty much exclusively as building power relations, shaping social cohesion, and so on. The *meaning* of the words, truth of propositions, or actions they cause (beyond the power relations she desires) are entirely irrelevant to her.

Brainhacking memes are plausible though tricky as existing memes are rather red in tooth and claw. They're going to have to do better than millennia of evolution. For the second that seems counterproductive (and also how do you kill remote communities?)
