But my approach to things that I find scary or problematic is to get involved and see what’s really going on. See if it’s possible to subvert the machines and systems that mediate the world ;)

Thanks Fin. I really appreciate the write-up and healthy debate on this issue. I’m no AI apologist and I’m very aware of the many pitfalls! My work on AI is hardly celebratory…

New Conflux Coldwell EP available for preorder. And it is a bit of controversial one it seems (not intentionally) given #Bandcamp recent policy change on #AImusic. Shadows and Simulacra: confluxcoldwell.bandcamp.com/album/shadow...

@thewiremagazine.bsky.social This is very interesting but the author seems to have overlooked many global south scholars using hauntology while looking at post colonial legacies - and Mark Fisher himself writing about black hauntologies in pieces like Metaphysics of Crackle

Dipping just a toe into the #DIY #electronica streams these days still requires some weighty waders to avoid being soaked by the volume of material.

Even if he does increase those wages, workers on those visas still have no protection, can’t unionise or strike, he has them over a barrel in a way he couldn’t with domestic workers

Yeah if you think Musk wants to pay any more for labour than he has to, you’re delusional and have misunderstood the entire debate. How did he refer to MAGA and American workers again!?

Mick Schofield @confluxcoldwell.bsky.social · 30/12/2024
Has he asked these Nazis what their position on visas for cheap foreign labour is?
020
Mick Schofield @confluxcoldwell.bsky.social · 29/12/2024
Musk briefly looks to the left of #MAGA on this issue, but don’t be deceived, the opposite is true. These visas basically give him a slave workforce that will do anything to avoid deportation. Doesn’t get much further right than that

Mick Schofield @confluxcoldwell.bsky.social · 28/12/2024
Is #Musk an idiot? What did he expect would happen getting into bed with the far right? I’m confused, I thought he was meant to be some sort of genuis?
