I trained a neural network to try to reproduce psalms and it ended up writing nonsense.
Then someone arranged one of the psalms for choir - to the theme from Tetris. aiweirdness.com/post/168294222

@walruslifestyle I think it's a misnomer to talk about "selling" when you don't have a surplus. That is, it's hard for me to see what the word is talking about if it doesn't take place in a genuine market. Sales are things that happen in markets. And when one of two parties must acquire what the other has in order to live, and the other recognizes and exploits this need, that's not a market. It's more like serfdom. I don't know, I might have this all wrong.

isn't the idea that you are selling your labor to employers a fundamental problem? unions act as a backstop in the best case, but they treat the symptoms, not the cause?

Today's hilarious marketing email fuckup:

A message selling "DevOps excellence" addressed to "Dear null."

I think they may need to work on their DevOps excellence a bit more as relates to database management.

Please join me on my 90s ska-themed Mastodon instance, "Zoot-Toot.Riot"

...So you could actually make a Mastodon instance where likes are florps and the timeline goes sideways, right?

The best thing about Mastodon right now is the incredibly indie slant to the creators who've migrated here. Queer folks, folks of color, and women creating and telling their own stories in a space unencumbered by industry gatekeeping sentiments? This is great.

At this point, Mastodon is for conversation, Twitter is for mortal combat.
