Please Read🧵 The world is facing massive, genuine structural crises, but social media algorithms are explicitly designed to warp those crises into a psychological trap of total hopelessness. We are seeing the real-world math of a broken system,

i included this in my syllabi this year
anti-AI “credo”

I have a religious exemption from using all generative “A.I.” I am not a member of the Silicon Valley sect. Their beliefs and practices are an affront to my sensibilities. The tech is trained on stolen intellectual property. The output is riddled with mistakes, and it is incapable of comprehending the weight of its errors. It is not even an “it.” But sometimes, it is filtered and massaged by unaccountable human sweatshop workers and bad actors. I am not required to use “A.I.” any more than I am required to join Amway, buy black market rhino horn, or attend the Fyre Festival. As a human, I have a duty and right to limit my carbon and water footprint and protect my fellow human. As a union worker, I have a duty and right to oppose tech that is used to threaten workers or cheapen our product. As a tech consumer, I have a duty and right to oppose scams that lower the quality of our tools. As a scholar, I have a duty and right to oppose anti-intellectualism. As a taxpayer, I have a duty and right to oppose the misallocation of public funds and data. As a grown up, I have a duty and right to protect young people from predators. As a person with a conscience, I am appalled at the decadent disregard for user safety, the callous dismissal of responsibility for lives ruined and slaughtered. My religion is related to my identity, geography, and family, making it an irrelevant accident of birth. What matters is that I was born. I have an exemption from their digital rapture, their cultural austerity, their intellectual poverty. I practice wholesome hedonism and First Do No Harm.

Accounts of Trump's concentration camp in El Salvador: “All of the ex-prisoners recalled days spent in a punishment cell known as 'the island,' a dark room with no water where they slept on the floor. The only light they could see came from a dim lightbulb in the ceiling that illuminated a cross”

Though @fawmchallenge.bsky.social is over for the year, I'm still writing and recording...I'm working on an album that I've decided to title "Widerstand" (resistance.) This cut is a kind of sci-fi nightmare with a dash of astrophysics...first draft here: soundcloud.com/b3nut/albtraum

Albtraum
A darkwave science fiction nightmare metaphorically referencing...things and stuff. Todd - drum programming, bass, guitars, synthesizers, vocals.

Remember: Art is resistance. Music is resistance. Creating beauty is resistance. Play. Sing. Create. Make photographs. Whatever...it all helps, no matter how small....the effects are, in the final calculus, cumulative. Keep at it. It's what makes and keeps us human. Never lose empathy. #Art #Resist
