Baldwin went on to say "It was Dostoevsky and Dickens who taught me that the things that tormented me most were the very things that connected me with all the people who were alive, or who ever had been alive. Only if we face these open wounds in ourselves can we understand them in other people."

keep thinking about "personalised" books/art made by AI and remembering James Baldwin's quote "you think your pain and heartbreak are unprecedented in the history of the world, but then you read" these AI bros are deliberately doing a psyop on themselves to cauterise their capacity for empathy

From the West Lancashire Evening Gazette, 4 March 1986: a Doctor Who story writing competition judged by Dennis Spooner and Robert Holmes, which makes you wonder if the event was cursed as both of them would be dead within six months of the closing date.

Seasider's DIARY
Write a plot for the Doctor

WHO fancies their chances as a sci-fi story writer?

If you've got time on your hands you may like to enter a competition to
compose a tale featuring Dr Who and any of his old adversaries.

Set your control at 1,000 words and let your imagination turn out a galaxy-gripping storyline.

Prove yourself a master in Dalek-dialogue, Cybermen-chat or Tardis-talk and you'll be Lorded up with prizes including Dr Who videos, books and T-shirts.

Entries will be judged by Dr Who script writers Dennis Spooner and Robert Holmes.

The competition has been organised by the Blackpool Branch of the Dr Who Appreciation Society who plan to submit the top stories for inclusion in a soon-to-be-launched national society magazine.

Dr Who freaks up and down the country currently number 3.500-plus.

Time, lords and ladies, will be called on March 21, with the winners notified
by April 4. Entries to Mr Andrew Hayes, c/o 40 Dean Street, South Shore.

Meanwhile the next dose of Doctor-mania will be dished out at the next branch meeting at Blackpool Central Library on March 8.

Someone at work once asked me what my guilty pleasure was and I immediately shot back “pleasure never makes me feel guilty.” I’ve seldom felt cooler than I did in that moment. Literally one minute later I tripped on an extension cord and hit my head on a whiteboard in front of the entire office

It’s banal and useless to point out the hypocrisy of American conservatism. Nevertheless, every justification I have ever been given for capital punishment is predicated on the firm commitment that things like this won’t happen. Monstrous. Shameful. Raze the prisons to the ground.

That's where I've been for a while. We can't even reach questions about the death penalty itself because we fail essential predicates such as "fair and consistent criminal justice system" and "reliable death penalty verdicts that leave no reasonable doubt" and, as shown tonight, "humane execution."

University industrial action in Australia is entirely focused on pay increases, at the expense of staff numbers and they do not care to connect that focus to increased workloads *at all*

Rocketpilot 🇵🇸 @rocketpilot.xyz · 20h

The real blackpill moment for me was when during Covid, uni exec put to staff the question: defer pay rise for a year or accept double digit job losses. NTEU recommended the latter because they all knew it would be professional staff taking the hit. Guess how staff voted

today's hardware designers could never conceive of what Kazuo Kawasaki was doing in 1996

A colorful retro computer setup featuring a purple keyboard, a small teal touchpad, and a teal circular CD-ROM drive with a matching keypad-style controller resting on top. The hardware is arranged against a dark background in a vivid purple-and-turquoise color scheme.

Lowkey they know it too which is why they sell it as hyperpersonalized, every person a lord and commissioner able to direct artists at their will type of thing. It’s worked great in specific fetish pornography contexts, but only because 1) standards are rock bottom and 2) costs are subsidized.

It's easy - and correct! - to focus on just how ghoulish and profane this view of human creativity is. But even if you're the most cynical capitalist on earth, the evidence that people would enjoy entirely dehumanised content, at anything like a scale that would justify this hype, is extremely thin!

We've had the ability to watch, say, Counterstrike marathons, Street Fighter tournaments, or chess matches between computers since the 90s. Spectacles which, by their very definition, would be at a "higher standard" than human play. And nobody wants it. It's entirely meaningless. It has no appeal.

Every time a discourse kicks off over whether AI music, literature or art will be "as good as" the real thing, I'm always amazed more people don't cite that **there already are** creative pursuits where human-free spectacles have been available for decades, and nobody has ever wanted to watch them.

Pretty clear to me there’s a very good case against this man for mass murder, and I’m saying that in as measured a fashion as I can. He’s order the killing of 234 people under no plausible war or legal justification. I am skeptical he will ever face legal accountability for til his but he should.
