Just had a literary festival try to assuage my concerns about their workshop with a “decolonially trained AI” by assuring me the AI isn’t getting paid for their session, as if my concern was grounded in the pay scale for the robots

So many want to bypass the actual process in order to get the acclaim of being an artist. The acclaim of being a filmmaker.

Klagenfurt Despite these idyllic photos, Klagenfurt is up there in my list of least favourite places in Austria. Carinthia (which Klagenfurt is the capital of) is known for being particularly racist. The stat…
