iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

It would be super cool if I could not dissociate around people, and if I could just be with myself without going insane.

Would be super cool if being loved made me feel loved.

Would be super cool to not be mentally ill, or suicidal, or feel so alone all the time.

Sometimes I feel like I'm a piece of shit then I remember that asswipes like this exist and then I'm like I'm still a piece of shit but I'm at least not that much of a piece of shit.

I'm $rynydayactual if anyone feels like being godly

They were releasing graphics like this showing how bin Laden had built a Cobra Commander base into the Hindu Kush

Detailed graphic showing a "Bin Laden's mountain fortress" a several story behemoth built into the mountainside that looks like what would happen if you gave someone acid and then asked them to draw a beehive and then halfway through told them you want a castle instead. There is a side graphic showing booby traps and water systems also inside the mountain. A remarkable artistic display, if not an architectural one.

I've seen this "writing should hurt" post circulate across my skyline several times, and I've read it over twice, and it still does not sit right with me. After thinking about it, I've come to the conclusion that it's the association with pain that's tripping me up, specifically the nature of pain.

Writing Should Hurt

On our relationship to pain and creativity

My favorite part of such a wonderful thread. I've been struggling (ha!) to articulate why it is that AI cannot make art. This ties it into place. Creation and life is collective striving but never achieving of equilibrium. It's the mechanism of struggle, and it's beautiful. AI can't struggle.

And this is where I might agree with John: the machine eliminates that struggle and the growth that comes with it. Writers, myself included, discover our "voice" through a process of struggling with it, testing it out in different environments, and integrating the results into our future work.

Perhaps writing no longer hurts because you have developed habits that smooth out the rough edges of the process. Perhaps writing doesn't hurt because you know the materials so well that it comes as naturally as breathing. Perhaps writing hurts, albeit in a different way than it used to.

So, while the argument might have an intuitive force behind it when leveraged against AI, I think we might want to pause here: beyond the fact that AI can't feel pain, AI cannot work through, or struggle with, the process of writing. It has never labored over word choice or wrestled with a text.

So if "writing should hurt," then we need to ask ourselves Lorde's question from the Cancer Journals: "how much of this pain can I feel and still remain unblinded." We need to ask ourselves what we're learning from the pain of writing as we experience it. What does it teach us?

Which is exactly what AI denies: the possibility of growth. The thing that Dewey and Lorde take to be fundamental to our nature as persons, that we grow. And in growing, we become something more than we once were. By offloading that process to AI, we annihilate what it is that allows us to become.

Hey, remember when you fuckers were on here telling baby trans they should stop being cringey and assimilate, and attributing transmisogynistic violence to them and then like 3 hours later y'all were all "RIP Dolly Parton, you're amazing for being yourself" lolol. So full of shit

If you believe some people are just better or worse people than others without attributing the material conditions of the person, past and present, then congratulations, you believe in some weird white supremacist race science where people are better or worse because of their genes

Actual footage of conversations I have everytime I tell people I want kids

Yu-Gi-Oh card duel meme format. First frame is "carnist parents" that presents a card that asks, "How do you think you're going to force your kids to be vegan?"

Then "Rayne" prepares a card in the second frame, and in the third frame she presents a card that says, "I dunno, how did you force your kids to eat meat?", which explodes the carnist parents.
