How does this work as we approach a population of ten billion?
09.12.2025 23:12 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Or is the assumption that industrialisation, mechanisation, and automation can efficiently perform the atomic and repetition so that the laborer needn't perform those and can instead perform high order labor which they are not alienated from?
09.12.2025 23:12 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Or is it a requirement for those efficiencies to be achieved that labor must be atomized into repeatable meaningless tasks which alienates the laborer from the product?
09.12.2025 23:12 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Is it possible for the efficiency benefits of economies of scale to be realized without the alienation of workers from their labor?

If we can only have art from people who "aren't in it for the money" that means we can only have art from privileged middle-class dilettantes. Making art being a viable career is responsible for nearly all worthwhile art, and if it's not a viable career any more we will get drastically less of it.

We need a mass collective effort to make genAI extremely uncool, lame, embarrassing, cringe. Everyone needs to react to it with a MOUNTAIN of hostility until they run out of steam.

You've really got to fight this, everywhere and time you see it. It's vital.
This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence ๐ฅ

This is the power of vaccines.
The HPV vaccine is extremely effective at preventing cancer.
Viruses can be oncogenic. Get your vaccines and protect yourself!
Spoke with a source who told me the call volume is so high, a call center for both Mastercard & Visa is bringing out pizza and ice cream so agents donโt quite amid the rush. Long waits are causing dropped calls.
What youโre doing is working. Call MC & Visa.
Yeah, we need the status symbol to be "well *I* pay for the living costs of a *collection* of only the *weirdest* artists" again
