Ok, I'm at the point where I really have to say 'so what?' about shit that aging, boomer rock stars of the cocaine fueled past say. Like really who gives a fuck what Alice Cooper thinks? He's always been a Gene Simmons level asshole main character personality type. He has only ever gotten attention by pissing someone off. This is easy. Let these people drift off into irrelevance. Stop allowing them to matter.

If I want Internet where I don't have to see people then I have to have a land line. It could be worse. I could have neighbors.

By what metric?

I'm a 45 year old leftist with a land line in a rural part of a southern state.

When I make art I make it for myself. I have no interest whatever if it anyone else feels one way about it. I talked with the robots. I didn't like it. Felt dirty, cheap.

Oh, I don't even really care about the copyright thing. I just hate for a fucking robot to lay around in it's pajamas drawing pictures while I trade 13 hours of every day to a factory for the privilege of sleeing under a roof with some food for my family and to get to lay around drawing pictures like an hour of my week. This is defined distopia.

As a person who creates both visual arts and music, though admittedly for my own enjoyment alone, I can't bring myself to ever recognize any of the AI generated stuff as Art. None of it is any good if you look at it close. It's wrong in every way. The machines were supposed to come for our jobs, but that was supposed to mean factory production and construction and shit.

Linux is veganism for computers.

Ha, I drink way more coffee on the weekends than I do during the work week. It's definitely a recreational drug for me.

It's never been about US workers having the skills. It's always been that we expect to be compensated for our labor. Paying real wages looks bad for their bottom line so they export the work and import the product at a fraction of the cost.

What opinion? The only reason any piece of gun legislation has ever passed is to keep minorities and poors from arming themselves against oppression. That's fact. Reddit is a bootlicking hellscape of do nothing liberals who want dasy government and mommy corporate to keep them safe and busy.
