Traditional toilets on Jeju Island in SK had you crap into a pigpen so the black pigs (똥돼지, literally "shit pig") could eat it and become very delicious, but you had to have a long stick to fend them off

It was mostly a question of meter, I would never actually eat one without tomato.

Great reading list for October. I'll add my novel, False Bodies, for those who like tentacles and brine.

Do you even actually want to make art? Why? What drives your vision, and why do you want to give it to an algorithm?
jrmcconvey.bsky.social
Can you not see that all you're doing is really shitty, basic coding of a machine made to coddle you? Have you ever tried to make art without AI?

I'm sorry, I respect your right to think what you like, but this honestly reads as jibberish to me.

Many people now do not know what art is.
jrmcconvey.bsky.social
People made both those things. Maybe it was whimsy, maybe intention. Either way, it's expression. Calling GenAI stuff art is like saying you're a great chef because you can order food.
jrmcconvey.bsky.social
You don't "generate" art. You make it. You dream it. You spend hours and hours putting your soul into it. The time spent suffering for it is not something you can subtract. It's the point. If you make or love art, you know this.

The govt of Canada has banned Kneecap from entering, citing "the advocating of political violence, terrorism or Anti-Semitism and hate more broadly."

The govt should be specific here, or else this is is a continued, worrying crackdown on expression (+ border violence!).
