For most of human history we lived in food scarcity. Now large portions of the world lives in such food abundance to the point that many food companies compete to be the most delicious food divorced from nutrition as we don't know know how to handle this. I'm eating Cheetos as I write this.
Now the same thing has happened with information. It used to be scares and is now abundant and now competes divorced from it's original need to actual inform.

Against my love shall be as I am now,
With Time's injurious hand crush'd and o'erworn;
When hours have drain'd his blood and fill'd his brow
With lines and wrinkles; when his youthful morn
Hath travell'd on to age's steepy night;
And all those beauties whereof now he's king
Are vanishing, or vanished out of sight,
Stealing away the treasure of his spring;
For such a time do I now fortify …

The popular meaning of "luddite" is a straw-man. It's a sloppy word with a sloppy meaning now, and it's one we'd do well to watch out for.
The actual reality of who the Luddites were is far more interesting, the center of the hard-fought struggles against owners of factories disrupting entire towns and cities economies with massively terrible results, centralizing power and money and leaving a great number of people without any control of their work, formerly artisans who'd had a hand in their own work, and many automated out of jobs. Luddites destroyed automated looms not because they hated technology. They destroyed automated looms because they were taking the livelihood they depended on, with no recourse, and it was a disaster for a good while, and then millwork has gone from those places probably forever.
The problem now with LLMs and automated research systems is there's very little way for workers and creators to stick their shoes in the machinery. They've tried (https://arxiv.org/abs/2407.12281) but mostly failed, since unlike a factory full of textile workers, the equipment is remote, the automation virtual, an intangible software object that few can access in any meaningful way.

In a valiant attempt to keep the world at bay, I have been doing another playthrough of Mass Effect. This time, it was misbehaving in various ways in the Citadel DLC. I restarted after it froze, which unblocked things but now if I invited person A for a hangout, person B would show up. Odd things like that.
It gets better.
During the party, after talking upstairs to the group including Traynor, I walked into the bedroom where Traynor was also standing, stock-still, unresponsive, in her underwear, even though a responsive Traynor was still on the couch nearby.
In the morning, waking up (next to Garrus of course), unresponsive Traynor was still standing in the bedroom. I hope this is a first in ME history, a sort of threesome or at least voyeur party.

We are barely 6 months into #TheAmericanFascist Presidency and we already find ourselves with fundamental rights in the American Constitution under direct threat and the power of the judiciary to enforce and check the power of the President being pulled back.
And Democratic Party members seem to be all talk and very very little action or leadership to counter this.
Are they waiting for the midterms to take back Congress?
At this pace, surely they see the risk that there may not BE midterms. Or that the results are negated, disputed or invalidated.
I can’t fathom how they are not removing themselves from Congress now in protest and calling for a general protest/strike of all freedom loving Americans to restore the constitution, force the Trump appointed fascist enabling judges to resign, and force Trump and his Administration to go.
July 4th is coming. Independence Day? Or not? Democracy or not?

Calamus 16 Who is now reading this?
A funny little poem, omitted in later editions. On the surface it's a challenge to the reader and a chance for Whitman to establish himself as self-aware. Claiming his own flaws.
But the text drips with some latent queer meaning
as if I do not secretly love strangers!
(O tenderly, a long time, and never avow it ;)
A secret love that you can never avow? Hello! At least it's tenderly and a long time.
This seems as good a time as any to link Whitman's Boys, a good recent piece considering Whitman as a queer man and what that means to us in current times. It's a nice overview of some queer theory and is even-handed.

I really like this idea.
"Originally a faded turquoise, the bus is now vibrant orange with a cream-colored roof, the color scheme used by The Milwaukee Electric Railway & Light Company. Its windows and doors have been repaired, with two awning-style service windows installed to give waitstaff easy access."

No Top of the Pops tonight and I'm far too uninterested to watch the Glastonbury stuff. So I'm sitting on iPlayer watching series 1 of Race Across the World.
I've already watched series 4 and 5 as they were being broadcast, so now I'm going back to the beginning to catch up on what I missed.

Whatever LLMs and gen AI may or may not •actually• be good for, whatever jobs they may or may not actually reshape or displace, right now we’re in the middle of a bubble. The sheer amount of money involved makes it almost impossible to think clearly about this, much less have a useful public discussion. Even well-founded hopes and fears for the tech fuel a fire that I very much do not want to fuel.

Currently running the ultimate queer-autistic mental math: do I get up now for a Coke, or do I turn on my PC first and then embark on the sacred quest for caffeine?
Welcome to my rainbow-brained world, where every decision involves calculating the exact number of steps, seconds, and spoons required. 🏳️🌈🤓✨

Public media faces its most urgent threat yet.
Despite overwhelming public opposition,
the House has passed a rescissions package that would eliminate $1.1 billion in already-approved funding for public media.
If enacted, it would strip essential services from communities and could force rural stations off the air.
The Senate will take up the bill next.
⭐️Contact your Senators now and urge them to vote NO

So look, if you talk to me about the job threat from the things we currently call “AI,” well…
…if where you’re going with that is “The concentration of wealth is an existential crisis! Establish UBI! 99% marginal tax rate! Capital gains tax! Wealth tax! Abolish billionaires!” then yes, I’m •all• ears. My pitchfork is already sharpened.
But if where you’re going is “Get in on it now while you still can! Buy the AI vendors’ products! Drink radium for that youthful glow!” then…kthanksbye. I am not going to be a vector for your marketing propaganda, no matter how agitated you are.
