if you’re making something for yourself then go for it, but if you want me to pay for it, it better be made with love or I’m not interested

if you advertise your audio plugin with a dogshit ai video that’s immediately going to make me suspect you’ve coded it (in one of the few really performance-sensitive areas these days) using dogshit ai

new @thedigradio.bsky.social is v good. nice to hear it said clearly that the aim of the ai takeover isn’t ‘nobody has to work!’ it’s that capital no longer needs labour and thus labour has much less power over capital

it constantly amazes me that people like this are able to walk about in the world without being beaten into mince every day of their lives. although, I do doubt that this smear of rancid grease actually leaves his foetid digs much

As ARWW add in the thread, AF Post has been boosted by Elon, the AZ GOP, and other X obsessives (the same foul waters as those keeping Michael Tracey afloat, though he apparently failed here). And Ali Alexander, of course, was a leading Stop the Steal organizer.

The person claiming to have doxed Jane Doe in the Cornell rape case is Aidan Thompson, a groyper nazi who runs "AF Post" which he took over from Ali Alexander (who also once faced sexual assault allegations of his own). Thompson described himself as a "rape expert" in his videos leading up to this.

the cornell perpetrators, the guy who doxxed their victim, and the guy who owns the platform he did it on, are all part of the same repulsive power structure, and I hope there comes a time when these unpeople meet their deserved fates

some sympathy with the idea you should give a chance to pro-trans people working inside the labour party, but if you ask people to report experiences of transphobia *from a systemically transphobic organisation* and then block them when they tell you it’s systemically transphobic, that’s yr chance

so in a way the genAI view of things acts to actually *reveal the truth* that commodities were never the point in the first place. the activity, the *participation* was the point, and that really can’t be bought or sold

Robert Dallas Gray @robertdallasgray.com · 8h

the genAI bros say musicians won’t be necessary because suno will make all the music you could want. but music is only *incidentally* a ‘product’. it’s principally an *activity*, participated in by *communities of people*

Robert Dallas Gray @robertdallasgray.com · 8h

I feel like genAI throws a lot of things into very sharp relief, and one of them is the mainstream idea of what ‘creativity’ is for vs how it functions *for people*

I only use em when it’s something I’m gonna blend anyway, but if you get the ones that can crush multiple cloves with the skin on they’re great and dead easy to clean. but even the old fashioned ones are fine, just leave em in the sink half an hour

nice little interview with seagull — especially liked this bit tempoblog.substack.com/p/chris-inte…

I've grown up used to the idea that
there is worth in art even for a small
community. Of course, there are still
times I'm bitter and manically
hopeful of a triumphant globalised
capitalistic glory, but mostly I can
feel very validated that a small group
of interested people find something
in my songs.

i mean at the end of the day that above all else is what misogyny is for. few men practice it for its own sake as true believers. they cling to it because they need it, because to men who are cynical or insecure enough it’s a huge life boost

Might start doing very slightly different design and component choices in things so that in 20 years time if something has inexplicably become popular, everyone can have fun arguing about whether you want the rounded script font version, or the toggle switch version, or the black screw version... 🤔
