There is a cult of ignorance... nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that ‘my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.’

@nntaleb LLMs are Dunbar’s gossip machines in a fat-tailed world, trained on repetition, blind to the rare. Gossip evolved to track reality but LLMs turn it into reality-by-repetition. What isn’t gossiped isn’t learned; what isn’t frequent isn’t known; what matters most is often both.

@cosmosarcive The image is an externalization of perception, while the electronic environment is an externalization of our nervous system, where experience itself becomes exposed.

– Michael Smith was a 52 year old musician from North Carolina with a small catalog of songs and a very big idea

– Every stream on Spotify, Apple Music or Amazon Music earns the rights holder a fraction of a cent. Smith wanted all of those fractions

– Starting in 2017 he used AI to generate hundreds of thousands of songs under fake artist names like "Calm Baseball" and "Camel Edible." Nobody was meant to actually listen to them

– He built a network of 1,040 bots across 52 cloud services running through a VPN from his house. The bots streamed his songs 661,440 times every single day

– When streams on one song got too high and risked triggering fraud alerts he spread the plays across thousands more songs

– By 2024 his bots had streamed his AI songs approximately 4 billion times. He had made over $10 million in royalties meant for real musicians

– When the Mechanical Licensing Collective questioned how he was producing so much music so fast he told them his work was "clearly human-authored and not AI-generated"

– The FBI arrested him in September 2024. He pleaded guilty and forfeited $8 million. Faces up to 60 years in prison

7 years, 4 billion streams, and $10 million stolen from musicians.

Not one real person listened to a single song.

@pmddomingos Baudrillard: Continuity without breaks becomes a “body without organs” that swallows all structure. Continuity of signs → hyperreality. When representation never stops, reality collapses. The monstrous part is the endless continuation of simulation.
