Read bad art. Write bad art. Critique bad art.
Here’s a statement that might be radical in 2025: ‘bad art’ is still art, not content or slop. “But what about AI?” What about it? It demands that we interrogate the definition of art itself, and therefore here is mine: art is a practice, not a product.

Art is not something we consume. Art is something we do.

Artificially-generated ‘art’ does not fall beyond the purview of our definition of art because it lacks aesthetic merit. It has nothing to do with aesthetics. AI ‘art’ is not art because it is not something that the ‘artist’ has done.

More specifically, they sell the concept of innovation to venture capitalists. The people who buy their products and services are secondary to the investors shoveling money in.

it's inherent in the idea of popular front against fascism that it has room for trans people, racial and religious minorities, socialists, etc. the biggest obstacle to building such a front right now is the fraction of dems who are insistent that various minorities simply have to eat shit to win

I've seen people say things like "our troops weren't designed to be used on US!!!" and look, I totally understand, I agree in some ways, but I really, really hope that if you feel that way you spend time thinking about the fact that there's no such thing as a weapon that can't be pointed at you.

Should I avoid apartments with in-building washing machines because I’m physically able to carry my laundry down the block? Fuck that! build more, better, cheaper housing for all!

Can we all agree that it would be WILD to specifically avoid a rent stabilized apartment? It’s hard enough to find a place in nyc, why would I turn down an apartment because it had a feature I wish more apartments had?

More importantly: People need food every single day.
Supporting your local food pantry can save lives, especially now when so many more people need them...

Folks - your local food pantry is planning for Thanksgiving NOW. Help them out with some coin. Especially if your company matches donations. Don’t throw away free money for good causes.

(Or donate to my local using PayPal - www.hydeparkfoodpantry.org/donate.html it’s a 501(c)3)

Not sure how universal this is, but I was told not to cry because it’s “manipulative”. I would be interested in some (earnest) research on how emotion suppression differs by gender and other factors. I could believe “don’t be a pu**y” produces different behavior than “don’t be manipulative”

I’ll add my frustration that people who rely on LLMs for communication are pushing the cognitive load of crafting an informative message onto their audience, who has to figure out what the fuck you were trying to say, and whether you had anything to say at all.

re: generative AI

I have finally fully and accurately explained my problem with how it’s marketed and used.

And now, you can use it, too.
Generative Al is being marketed as a tool designed to reduce or eliminate the need for developed, cognitive skillsets. It uses the work of others to simulate human output, except that it lacks grasp of nuance, contains grievous errors, and ultimately serves the goal of human beings being neurologically weaker due to the promise of the machine being better equipped than the humans using it would ever exert the effort to be.

The people that use generative Al for art have no interest in being an artist; they simply want product to consume and forget about when the next piece of product goes by their eyes. The people that use generative Al to make music have no interest in being a musician; they simply want a machine to make them something to listen to until they get bored and want the machine to make some other disposable slop for them to pass the time with.

The people that use generative Al to write things for them have no interest in writing. The people that use generative Al to find factoids have no interest in actual facts. The people that use generative Al to socialize have no interest in actual socialization.

In every case, they've handed over the cognitive load of developing a necessary, creative human skillset to a machine that promises to ease the sweat equity cost of struggle. Using generative Al is like asking a machine to lift weights on your behalf and then calling yourself a bodybuilder when it's done with the reps. You build nothing in terms of muscle, you are not stronger, you are not faster, you are not in better shape. 

You're just deluding yourself while experiencing a slow decline due to self-inflicted atrophy.

Wild Life #1: The Gay Finger. #comic #queercomics #webcomic
Wild Life comic strip #1. Four animal friends are having a conversation.
Imani: "Do you know about the gay finger?" Mutt: "The gay finger?" Imani: "Yeah. If you're assigned female at birth and your ring finger is longer than your pointer finger, that means you're gay. And then the other way around for dudes." Ife: "That sounds like some gender essentialist nonsense." Imani: "Oh yeah? Bet you all of us have the gay finger."
The friends stick out their paws and hooves. No one has human hands, obviously.
