I’m long since sick of Elon’s ego project and don’t wish to add any content nor value here. I’ve scaled back my interactions on the platform as much as possible.

Thread follows with other social media.

my favorite guy in every fantasy novel is the guy who reinvents guerrilla warfare from first principles, as if nobody had ever thought of it before

@benlandautaylor For example, opened my Reddit feed just now and this was the third story down. Long before AI is able to dislodge franchises, it’s going to send a tidal wave through the self-publishing market:

@benlandautaylor I readily acknowledge copyright is messy and ripe for abuse, and as fanfic authors we directly benefit from reducing its power, but people who make a living from creativity also rely on it and are significantly more vulnerable than the govts/corps the cypherpunks opposed.

[Baxil (horizon) @baxil]

@acesounderglass And because it’s so formulaic and corps optimize for profit, they’ve calculated that their agents can manage multiple troubleshooting conversations at once. So their intelligence is spent on the juggling rather than the troubleshooting.

@acesounderglass Unfortunately, you’re dealing with the tier of human support who work with the 98% of humans who benefit from that tier of support.

@Hacker_Horse Congratulations!

@lediva @BardBloom @Sythyry What a loss, not just to family and friends but to the world.

My condolences.

so I have mentioned before that I enjoy reading books on magic (it is more of an interest than a hobby), and sometimes I see suggestions that apply to writing

because in some ways magicians and writers are trying to do the same thing: lead, control, and surprise an audience

@XydexxUnicorn @SoatokDhole Also the 2-6-1 Rule for conventions: basic self-care/hygiene is 2 meals, 6 hours of sleep, and 1 shower daily.

@daniel_eth @ESYudkowsky But the fewer shareholders you have, the more profits per shareholder that you generate. If you kill ALL of your shareholders, the profit per survivor becomes infinite!

[Baxil (horizon) @baxil]

@CouchCrusader_ Yup! If you find yourself passing through, hit me up though. I’m very occasionally through Seattle, and if you happen to be at Babscon next week or Everfree later this year, we should definitely hang!
