Do you mean op as in the guy who posted it or who wrote it? The latter has some really bad arguments imho. Esp for a 'professional philosopher'.

On the subject of AI art being bad for artists: "Compare banning lightbulbs for putting candle-makers out of work. Then suppose that lightbulbs are in fact perfectly legal, but some luddite ideologues manage to capture certain online spaces and ban anyone from using a backlit screen to view the website"

Well, they are the common clay of the new west.

Archive.is because substack sucks. Remember Peter Todd, the ghost in the LLMs? New one of them dropped. Elara Voss

Also logging is hard, all the various channels are annoying (esp as th, and having to jump through various hoops just get into channels (hoops for which the instructions can be outdated/bad (one of them used a feature that was disabled on my machine for some reason, but nobody had realized that was possible)) is just nuts. And then there is the whole thing that Discord itself wants to make the platform as busy as possible by adding more and more moving things. I just want to chat.

I have not tried to find out what kind of music they played, but the fact that the DJ complained about the music is just amazing. She will talk about this event for years.

I assume they don't know teen pregnancies peaked in the 90s.

Btw, the 'teen pregnancy' thing, is prob a bit ahistorical. If we use teen marriages as a standing for teen pregnancies, these were historically very low. (contrary to what people believe about the past, mostly because strategic marriages by rich people/nobles were not, but those people were not normal people) See: https://bsky.app/profile/nogoodwyfe.bsky.social/post/3lv2ehbn7pc2x

But reactionaries gotta go back to some imagined ideal past. No matter what actually learned people say. (and that is also why the far right is anti-intellectual).

More publicity for or longtime friends: Sunday at the garden party for Curtis Yarvin and the new, new right, apparently the parties DJ was, as is tradition, a weird nerd: https://bsky.app/profile/alt-text.bsky.social/post/3lvxlb4migv2w (I linked to the alt text which was collected from the image, scroll up for the image itself).

I'd assume they need X pieces of ~~flair~~ propaganda to get their theilbucks.

Sorry to talk about this couple again, but people are discovering the eugenicists are also big time racists

[–] Soyweiser@awful.systems 5 points 2 weeks ago

But was that before or after they wrote about it? (Doesnt really matter btw, just curious, slopper and clanker are pretty good)
