@adam_harvey@tldr.nettime.org am I wrong in thinking this change is entirely because of Gaza? Like, not the result of a broader cultural change but an acute side-effect of cultural institutions being unable to confront Israeli state-sanctioned genocide.

LLMs feel fascist not just because of who is building them, but also they seem intrinsically against neurodiversity. i'm not particularly good at "executive functioning," but I'm a good programmer because my brain is able to focus in a way that "neurotypical" brains don't.

"AI" it takes these activities I enjoy and tries to shoehorn them into something that works for a different type of brain -- i.e. giving conversational orders instead of flow state. which for me just ruins it.

@hobbs@dobbs.town ah yes that makes more sense! i use instapaper on kobo too it's very handy

@hobbs@dobbs.town what magic do you use to get an RSS feed on your Kobo??

ugh this shit in minnesota really set back my social media hygiene in a huge way. it kind of pains me but i'm going through and unfollowing a bunch of the more politically-focused accounts I followed in the last month because I was so desperate to know what's going on.

i can handle these networks when it's mostly art & nerdy stuff, but political social media always makes me spin out.
