「普通の市民は戦争が嫌いだ。しかし政策を決定するのは指導者達であり、国民をそれに巻き込むのは…簡単なことだ。自分達が外国から攻撃されていると説明するだけでいい。平和主義者は愛国心がなく国家を危険に晒す人々だと非難すればいいだけ。この方法はどの国でも通用する」(ヘルマン・ゲーリング)

it is funny to me that on one side of the argument, the extreme view is "we are creating the antichrist and the machine god slave will herald in a new society"

and on the other side, the views that get labeled as extreme are things like "i don't want to use it, it gives me the ick"

"AI", grumbling about bad journalism

The wandering rant that might be charitably called an article that is "The left is missing out on AI" just crossed my path and oh buddy am I annoyed about it

You voted for this slogan and now it's here! We have a new batch of super nice t-shirts (they're 100% organic cotton with a thick, soft feel) with a cute screen printed design from @dopatwo. "My friends are not for sale"—because your connections to other people are more than a bargaining chip for big tech companies to keep you from leaving them.

RE: mastodon.social/@glyph/1160721

I appreciate all my patrons! I have a little shout-out system in github.com/glyph/sponcom . If you sponsor via Patreon I can easily reach out to get your name for that, but if you sponsor via Github Sponsors but hide your email on that platform, I have no contact info without scraping through git history or similar; I don't want to do anything stalkery if you've indicated you don't want to be contacted, but this also means no SponCom entry, and I think that many people do this unintentionally.

On Market Day in Aotearoa New Zealand:

A tall woman (50s?) radiates pure affection while watching her vibrant petite mother (80s?) walk out of a cafe.
Speaking to friends, she proudly says: "She's a powerful unit, my tiny mum."
Her friends laugh and agree.

A harpist is wearing a very serious expression as she busks in a busy market. Game face on.
But what is this?
Dancing Queen by ABBA?
The most serious disco harpist in town!

A small human (4?) wearing a giraffe hat with adorable stubby antlers is moseying along while eating a big chocolate cookie with both hands.
Chocolate Cookie Giraffe has places to be and things to see but he's gonna do it in his own time. This cookie's not gonna eat itself after all.

A small human (3?) wearing a unicorn hat stops at a German sausage truck. Looking all the way up at the server she says: "Can I have a sausage?"
Mum says: "What do you say?"
"A big sausage."
"And what else?"
"With mustard."
"And what else?"
"And tomato sauce."
"Please?"
Huge grin. "Yes please."

A man (60s?) is sitting on a bench.
A watercolour pad before him.
A well used palate of paints at his feet as he sketches out a trio of buskers warming up their instruments nearby. People flowing all around, chatter, laughter and music in the air.
He's in the zone.

I have another thing you can do to help people in Minneapolis!

These kids are raising funds to go to Space Camp. It’s a beautiful structure: families pay what they can, then •all• the families fundraise the remaining total for •all• the kids together. Either everyone goes or no one goes.

The ICE invasion really knocked the fundraising on its heels this year: everyone diverted, one major fundraising event cancelled. It’s looking a little dire; maybe no one goes this year. They could use some help.

看到有人評九把刀是「少數寫現代武俠」的作者,但我覺得九把刀的作品B級,很難認可他的所謂「現代武俠」的地位。說到「現代武俠」,我仍然認為我討厭的作者張大春寫的《城邦暴力團》寫得最好,是我難以理解他身為鐵藍為何又那麼下作的好。

最近再次想起1999年出版的《 》,是因為看到象友推薦 EP132時,引述了受訪者徐紹綱說的,他從檔案中讀到「王師凱」這個人一再出現,追查下去卻發現……這不是一個人,而是國民黨的一個黨部名稱,就像黃復興那樣。
open.spotify.com/episode/3JZnY

我在看到這段講述時,瞿然而驚,這就是《城邦暴力團》反覆在說的手法與概念呀!《城邦暴力團》講述的是一個真正的史實,它甚至比我讀過的國立編譯館的歷史課本還要清楚交代國民黨是怎樣的政黨:它從在中國大陸時就藉黑幫之力崛起(書中的漕幫、清幫大致為真)、蔣介石得了性病、少數重要人物才有資格隨國民黨撤退來台、在來台的船上,正直的外省人也動不動被砍頭,餘下的見證者為了活下來不得不整個餘生都卑鄙地保守這個秘密、漕幫(青幫)在台灣「落地」後的眷村子弟組成了竹林聯盟(竹聯幫)並壯大……

1/2

我們這些「台獨份子」說破嘴也總不被死忠藍相信的那些事蹟, 都寫了,還比我當時所知(真的很少就是了)的要更深入許多。

那才是寫得好的「現代武俠」;正如金庸擅長把虛構的功夫編夾進歷史一樣,張大春也把他與父輩作為「外省人」的經歷,揉雜了奇門遁甲與功夫,寫成一部虛虛實實的故事,而我對國民黨的真實歷史知道愈多,就愈心驚於小說映照得更多。

而張大春,他非常清楚國民黨是個藉由暴力團(黑道)、暗殺、特務……等力量遂行恐怖統治的真實本質的,卻在鄭南榕被逼自焚後,投書報紙大大地羞辱鄭南榕、嘲諷民進黨一番,現實中的他遠比《城邦暴力團》小說裡活得如同老鼠般的張大春更卑猥不堪,又一次藉由小說映照了真實。

所以,是的我非常討厭張大春,可是我還是推薦這套小說《城邦暴力團》。它比我的歷史課本更清晰地勾勒了(國民黨那部分的)台灣近代史,它更以自身與作者訴說了,如張大春這樣的鐵藍「文人」有多麼下賤又悲哀。

I'm now installing Graphene and trying it out. I guess one thing that has hit me is, because one of the main drives behind it is "de-googling" it means I need to decide if I want to re-google the phone since all my calendars, contacts, etc is in that ecosystem, or if I should also follow suit and go third party. My main motivation was not necessarily about google/microsoft but just, I hate AI and want it off lol

mutual aid

Edit: 13 days until rent is due

I’m starting our next request for mutual aid. This one is to cover another month of expenses. We’re stuck in a lease.

The car needed parts, we fixed it. [abridged]

Please help us keep a roof over our heads, and keep our cat with us. I’ve had him for nearly 20 years and he really needs me in this phase of his life.

때문에 효율적으로 AI에 밀리고 실수와 수정의 바다에 허우적 대고, 심지어 자기 타협을 통해 그 의도를 온전히 전하지 못했다고 하더라도 인간이 만든 것은 AI의 생성물과 구분될 수 밖에 없다. 그렇게 완성된 무언가에는 역사가 담기기 때문이다. 즉, 물건에 인간성이 담기는 것이다. 이것은 AI로는 할 수 없다.

1

그렇다면 우리는 다시금 질문을 할 수 밖에 없다. 어차피 인간도 자신이 의도한 바를 완전히 담을 수 없다면, 결국 우연성과 타협이 필연적이라면, AI 생성물과 인간 작업물의 효율적 차이는 무엇인가? 사실, 효율적 차이는 없다. 따지고 보면 프롬프트 수정만 하는 AI가 더 효율이 좋을지도 모른다. 하지만 인간이 만든 창작물에는 수정을 거치더라도 그 흔적이 남는다. 원래의 결과물에서 어떻게 수정했는지, 그 수정을 통해 무엇을 전하려 어떤 고민을 했는지 유추 가능하다.

물론 처음부터 끝까지 인간이 만들더라도 처음에 의도한 것과 결과물이 동일하기는 어렵다. 예외는 없다. 거장도 그러니까. 이는 스탠리 큐브릭이 영화 샤이닝의 "죠니가 왔어요!" 씬에서 문짝 소품을 100여개에 가깝게 부숴 먹은 것으로 설명 가능하다. 또한 그 장면이 반복되는 촬영에 지친 잭 니콜슨의 분노로 만들어진 즉흥으로 완성되었다는건, 인간 역시 창작에 있어 일정 부분 이후 부터는 자기의도와 통제보다 우연성과 무작위성에 기대거나 어느 수준에서 타협을 할 수밖에 없다는 반증이기도 하다.

@mcc @mal3aby Oops, turns out my terminal is struggling with rendering these and cut the word off when I copy-pasted it. The word from the word list is actually "तु्म्हीं", which isn't listed in any online Hindi dictionary I can find.
