#QueerWritersChat I’m Trevor. Currently looking for a publisher for my book of poems “Running out of Words.” Considering changing the order of poems (is anything ever really finished?) Currently sketching out a novel I will write over the winter. It’s social realism. #WritingCommunity #fiction

Just because there’s a fuckton of information on the world wide web does not mean all the information that exists is on the www.

The stock market is the most demoralizing force of all time, and I mean demoralizing in a very literal way. It strips people of moral convictions more effectively than anything else.

This is just a reminder that if you’ve read #Rumi in English, no you haven’t. Not because of pure linguistic fidelity, but rather his main translator minimized the islam in his poetry for an American audience. Islam is central to his poetry.

I wonder if Francis Fukuyama is upset over being wrong about Capital winning History (this post is about the rise of China). Although to be fair the CCP has been using Capital strategically.

The saxophone, as a reed instrument, features a noise-heavy rasp, a sound dependent on the physical characteristics of wind (breath) over flexible plant material (originally, before, but what does before mean if time happens to be a circle) reducing the signal tone of the instrument slightly.

Observation: I was watching the standard CP24 newsfeed, and one of the bites said "Saudi Arabia closes major pipeline amid new Iran tensions" or something to that effect (the first five words are an exact quote).

There is a lot of conflation between LLMs and AI. LLMs are nowhere near AGI, but despite that, there are some AIs currently that may indeed qualify as AGI. They are not LLMs though. Reminding people that there are autonomous AI labs doing real science currently, making new materials and viruses.

It’s a little bit shocking some of the words that the New York Times doesn’t recognize. Bimini is one of them. A bimini is the name for the cover of a cockpit of a sailboat. Moby Dick is one of your great books. You don’t recognize nautical terms?

Found a treasure trove of giant chanterelles. They were delicious with pasta, garlic, and parmesan.

I feel like there’s a deep-dive investigative story about how Apple ditched the AI race. From innovating Siri to choosing to sit on the sidelines when everyone went ape over LLMs (still don’t fully understand why apart from unsubstantiated claims of increased productivity), something happened.

Drake’s Hotline Bling meme. The “no, get that away from me panel” has the text “Humans knowledgeable in their fields. The “That’s it, that’s the ticket” panel is matched to the text “machine that seems to know everything but is frequently wrong”.

Interesting. I put the following comment (not exactly) on a thread about the US getting their panties in a bunch over Ukraine bombing Russian tankers: “China is the only country doing anything about ballooning prices of oil by making its considerable oil reserves available in the market.”

I used to think humans should look at themselves as stewards of the earth rather than conquerors, as if that attitude could improve our behavior towards earth. I’ve changed my mind. Even that is too arrogant an attitude towards something we don’t understand fully. We are part of earth, nothing more.

I do think what’s happening in Gaza is immoral and does constitute a genocide. But the left’s blanket condemnation of Zionism as a genocidal ideology is too simplistic and does harm by preserving and spreading an antisemitic residue.

Huey Lewis & The News song “I need a new drug” but it’s “I need a new word.” Weird Al of course. Only writers would understand, or something. But isn’t everyone a writer, simply because texting = writing, and the word can simply describe a person doing the action. But writing as a vocation:

Wait a minute! Why does Canada have so many more rough-sleeping people than England and our population is smaller? (Then he remembers who the Southern neighbour is) Nevermind. (This is a post about the influence of American-style economics on Canada over decades).
