aidan @goodpileus.bsky.social · 18/06/2026not exactly a compilation, but a good account of this component of ai: tante.cc/2026/04/21/a...tante.ccAI as a Fascist Artifact(Christian Tieber hat eine deutsche Übersetzung des Textes angefertigt: “KI” als faschistisches Artefakt. Vielen Dank Christian!) (This is a bit of a merger of two talks I recently gave about fascism ... 121
aidan @goodpileus.bsky.social · 16/06/2026i'm sorry but i'm out. this feels genuinely obtuse or an attempt at sealioning. good luck in the meat market or whatever 120
aidan @goodpileus.bsky.social · 16/06/2026that's what we're doing now. articulating to you why we think this sucks, after you asked why we think it sucks. 100
aidan @goodpileus.bsky.social · 16/06/2026it's almost like we can use this aspect of llm use in dating to converse about/confront our broader cultural issues with more clarity? and maybe in this conversation we can articulate why we might be concerned about llms accelerating and enabling behavior that was already shitty without it? 100
aidan @goodpileus.bsky.social · 16/06/2026i dont think we are destined to let it rip, accelerate, and entirely alienate us from ourselves and eachother 110
aidan @goodpileus.bsky.social · 16/06/2026i think we all understand that. my perspective, regardless if this is the present reality, is that that sucks and we should actively work to change this -- in our minds, practices, politics, and culture. 120
aidan @goodpileus.bsky.social · 16/06/2026this just sounds like someone trying to optimize interpersonal connection rather than actually engaging with the mess of genuine human communication to make trusted and meaningful connections. relationship optimization is fucked whether it's enabled by human friends, pick-up-artists, or llms imo 130
aidan @goodpileus.bsky.social · 16/06/2026i have not done this, but i think it's a mistake to equate real human friends and their care and input with the output of an llm. unlike human friends, the llm does not genuinely know you or the person you are smitten with and is generating statistically plausible sentences based on its training. 170

aidan @goodpileus.bsky.social · 01/05/2025just because you've been conned by the marketing of AI corporations for what technological advancement looks like, doesn't mean it's an inevitability. there are many possible forms and pathways of technological progress. release your dogma. 0430

aidan @goodpileus.bsky.social · 19/02/2025i've been making small monthly calendars for the past 2 years, but haven't had to time to make any drawings this year. in the meantime, i've compiled last year's calendars into a blank-slate composite to download and print if you want. hope to start drawing soon... aidanquinlan.net/studio#calen... 080
