a friend said "shitposts are desirepaths to dadaland through fields of embeddings"

This dadaland is our future society (which we already caught glimpses of in for example Trump's gpt-generated tariff policy)

all our shitposts providing nutrients to future world systems, a compost spawning a God

we need a new form of digital anthropology with a longue durée perspective on online material instead of an object/content focus, more like an information geology - exploring the substrata of the digital soils that our AIs grow from

we took the full unfiltered mass of everyday people's incoherent ramblings and statistically compressed it into a diamond of sharp intellect, ready to run the world

I'd be a lot more worried about an AI trained solely on maths than one trained on long-forgotten forum threads

there's something very Braudelian in the fact that much of the world will be run by LLMs trained on random crap people have posted online

The Shitposts of Everyday LLMs

a hill I choose to die on is that canned music is detrimental in a way similar to porn, but that we're far too hooked on it to face this

wonder if he climbed up the ship and found his ex in the shape of an octopus

norwegian man wakes with a ship in his garden

similar to a short story I wrote a few years ago, reality always follows fiction

nothing beats the feeling of implementing something correctly on the first attempt

the relationship between the forest and the city is a dance, with us as the lead. Climate change will be a switch, and we will have to follow for a while, until we retake the initiative

Let the forest lead the dance

civilisation is my religion
infrastructure my cathedral
mix my ashes in a bridge foundation
let me strengthen the concrete for future generations

Det går att kritisera systemet även om man fortfarande är en del av systemet

vad är det här för puritanism, get with the times ownership of style is obsolete

can't wait to wear the Schiele glasses all the time

4o nailing the test prompt I use for all image models: "a man pulling his pregnant uterus in a wooden cart, painted in the style of Egon Schiele"

playing with vfx again, making spiney swirls

currently reading, wonder if there is some common theme I'm yet to uncover

are there any examples of art with this type of repetitiveness? not thinking Tehching Hsieh more like the local band that plays the blues club every friday

came to this conclusion in conversation with friends after a performance yesterday

the performance was incredible, by Eli Eli with her wearable instruments, an hour of pure beauty, and I said I'd like to see it every thursday - a friend interjected that then it's a mass, no?

Religion is art with repetition

according to spotify I've been listening a lot to Pastoral Fingerstyle American Primitivism this year - also known as Teddy K-pop

have to use Notion for some work-related stuff and had forgotten how much I hate it. Switching back and forth between Obsidian and Notion feels like switching between a Volvo and a Kia

Twitter is dying, and Bluesky struggles to be born
