the enthusiasm for generative AI would not have been possible without prior decades of capitalist conditioning to view works of art as products, rather than acts of culture and shared human life
I think the fundamental gap here is that non-creative people think that creative people make things for the end product, when in fact it’s the act of creation and not the end point that makes it worthwhile.
I have grown to believe that excessive wealth does something to your brain that is analogous to a serious head injury

I hope those kids treasure those memes and take the whimsy and memories of sillier times with them into adulthood like we did with Trogdor The Burninator, hope you keep referencing them in 20 years time kiddos
Sometimes people are like "aren't you worried about the kids and their nonsensical new brainrot memes"
But like, the thing is, I can still spot a member of my internet generation by how they respond to "badger badger badger badger"
Playing with language and rhythm is fun, it'll be fine!

One of the things we've enjoyed the most about the six-seven phenomenon is the way it comes with a gesture, which we've also seen represented in emoji form as:
🫴 six-seven 🫳

RFK Jr. has turned his back on science and the safety of the American people. Michiganders cannot take another day of his chaos.

The most precious commodity you have is your attention. You don’t have to waste it on poor-faith debates or arguments with strangers if you don’t think they’ll be productive. You can prioritize the things that matter to you and make your life richer.

We're getting a wave of articles that are like, "gee willikers it sure seems like the people who complained about 'cancel culture' for years really like canceling people."
Yes! This was extremely obvious at the time and a lot of us pointed it out!

Some say canceling is an act of redress. Others blame it on a mob.
“People have used the word ‘cancel’ so loosely,” Ernest Owens author of “The Case for Cancel Culture,” said, “that everyone’s calling everything a cancellation.”

Few issues in recent years have united the American right as much as their professed hatred of cancel culture. That’s changing.

Almost 2 years ago, while preparing the wet basement for water proofing, I found this old portrait of me done in NYC in a very water-damaged frame.
I finally got up the courage to pry the frame apart, and it's OKAY.

Ironically, it appears that AI chatbots hallucinate for the same reason that students feel compelled to use them:
They were socialized in a high-stakes testing culture that rewards guessing and maybe getting it right over admitting when there's something you just don't know.
