I’ve had this contingent of the language police show up in my replies a few times now over the word “cosplay,” and look…
OK, I get it, I get the instinct to say “Don’t drag me into this!” and I applaud the effort to push fascists out of communities, yes to all that…
…and also we need to recognize that what ICE is doing absolutely •is• cosplay. The word means “costume play.” It refers to assembling and wearing costumes that are not necessarily functional, but show affinity for a particular subculture by reproducing characters from that subculture’s popular narratives.
ICE are cosplaying Call of Duty. That is an accurate description of what’s happening. (Listen to “Gear.”)
I make software and I make music. I don’t think either one of those things •should• be about violence. I don’t •want• them to be about violence. But both are used in the service of violence, like it or not. I shout the violence out whenever it shows up. But would be ridiculous for me to point at what Palantir does and say “That’s not software!” Unfortunately, it •is• software. To deny that would be beyond self-defeating; it would be irresponsible.
ICE •is• doing cosplay, and we hate it. It’s an insult to the cosplay subculture. It is an insult to the whole of humanity. Fascism creeps into all of our spheres, into every beloved craft and community, and the response is never to pretend it’s not there. The response is to drive it out.

Absolutely crazy demonstration of how AI can help with frontend design, my design abilities is stuck around like 2005 bootstrap era, I tried this approach on something and yeah - pretty amazing.
I can make a decent looking app and just focus on backend really.

Is “Resonant Computing” malleable software with a positive ideology applied?
I still haven’t found an umbrella term that captures Causal Islands, Ink & Switch, and similar vibes.
Shades of DWeb principles too.
I’ll keep hosting events that point us in this direction.

I'd be interested find out if AI providers are considered responsible for any defamation their equipment generates and publishes. How much of the law assumes an intent that can't be applied to AI?
Is mens rea something that can be tested in LLM? Is that even a meaningful question? Is it all just libel through negligence?

AI-generated content wrongly accuses fiddler Ashley MacIsaac of being sex offender

Migrating a large accretion of complex blog post content between platforms is a draining & thoroughly demoralising experience. It turns out that we, as web developers, are capable of creating byzantine platforms which give diligent blog writers the ability to create hours and hours of unrewarding work that is so cryptically & diversely broken that no script can be written to make sense of the mess.
Enjoy your holidays if you're in a cultural context where that sort of thin…
