True! Which in turn is just Pascals wager, which was dismissed by theologists themselves^^. It's such an easy way out of actual responsibilities and decision making, to postulate something as inevitable.

i'm not saying anything new but what's already happening is it's getting harder to trust information you can't verify because it's trivially easy to produce innumerable quantities of bullshit

it was already bad before this was possible; any unsigned/untraced information will be suspect

also the paragraph above is so strange: "its gonna happen anyways so we make it" is such a weird philosophical idea. like, no? we can construct what objects and processes we wanna live with?

Seems like the link broke, so here should be a new, functioning one: mailchi.mp/3ef484a194fc...

OpenAI wasn’t expecting Sora’s copyright drama It felt “more different to images than people expected.”

So-called #genAI means the abolition of the future through the proliferation of endless streams of stochastically rendered generic pasts. Having turned large parts of the cultural archive into training data, it now traps us in a foreverized pastness, a 24/7 nostalgia for a past that never existed

So our fresh newsletter went out, this time I wrote about Castle Come developments and also some other things:

Une paire de ciseaux, entourée de petits bouts de papier, annonce fièrement: "Je suis ciseaux ! Le papier n'a pas la moindre chance !"

Un rocher arrive et pulvérise la paire de ciseaux d'un coup de poing. Il crie: "Je suis PIERRE ! Les ciseaux ne peuvent rien contre moi !"

Une feuille de papier se plaque sur la pierre en criant: "Je suis PAPIER ! Je recouvre la pierre !"

Pierre est perplexe, avec papier collé sur son visage. Pierre: "C'est censé faire quoi ? Parce que ça ne fait pas très mal." Papier: "Chut. J'ai gagné." Pierre: "Mais... Je vais bien ?" Papier: "Lààà... C'est fini. Laisse-toi aller."

Tome 2: www.exemplaire-editions.fr/exemplaire/l...

A 6-panel comic parodying both Garfield and the Simpsons, starring Homer-Jon & Bart-Garfield mashups. P1: Title panel, showing "Barfield" on a grassy hill, eating a pair of shorts. P2: Hojo is on left of frame, while Barfield is on the right. Howjo says: "Boy. We should allow new generations to build & create new forms of culture, rather than recycling & repackaging the old for them, ad-nauseam. We should let the things we love die." P3: the same image, complete silence. P4: Barfield speaks: "Ay, lasagna." P5: Hojo closes his eyes in exasperation, letting out a breath before he does what must be done. P6: A closeup of Hojo --tears in his eyes-- as he chokes & throttles Barfield by the throat.

the things we love

Making up stories is literally what humans have done since we could talk to each other. It defines us. This, more than anything I've come across in the last few years, makes me feel like we're in the process of breaking something integral to our species.

friends Henry Halfhead is such an absolute delight

i think this might be the final consequence of a high speed 24/7 information abundance society

realizing that the internet not only decontextualizes what you say in social space, it also decontextualizes it in time, and so many years from now i may be called on to answer for anything i said or did not say now

oh well

dear future: i was trying

yeah totally. i think it also comes down to the fact that its not just purely ethical questions, but arguments with real world, measurable consequences. this makes arguing about it even more tricky and maybe at some point we are just forced to accept those hardened political stances on the subject

yeah i get that; for me it is the lack of "specificness" about it that also is incredibly hard to handle. If you are worried about totalitarism, by whom? why? think deep down this is a cry for a less complex world, one where things are under control. but that is a hard and hurtful argument to bring

To me it finally boils down on how much you accept you being a node in a larger system; its hard to come to terms with this and the probabilities

Still, this definition does not work on how to inform public health decisions, merely personal choices in doc - patient relations

What helped me a tiny bit was to circle back to a definition of health the WHO at least had for some time: health is a subjective state of mind; eg you can have a broken ankle but still feel healthy. If you look at cov response with this lens, it to some degree explains why some people -
