I finally finished it! My top 100 characters in fiction.
Vaguely sorted by how close they are to the center.

The Supreme Court burns to the ground in Albania, Parliament and the Department of Education has been stormed, the Prime Minister is in hiding and the country is effectively in the hands of the rebels.
Albania rejects blatant corruption and their country being sold.
The fact some people find a way to be mad about Bloodborne getting ported to PC after 11 years of consumers begging for it without a peep from Sony or FromSoft on the basis of it being "vibe-coded" is a testament to how irrational the staunchly anti-AI movement has become.
Sony wouldn't do it. So the community did.

Because someone didn't tirelessly decrypt the code line by line for years they're gonna turn their nose up at a beloved game becoming widely accessible with better quality-of-life for the first time & baselessly treat it & the person behind it with suspicion & contempt. Unserious

The French government has done it. They killed a street medic. He tried to tell them that he was a medic, that he wasn’t here to cause any harm, and they killed him.
This needs to stop, the governments need to fall, the people need to wake up.
Some of the goofiest tweets are the ones where someone made a thing using AI & then someone QRTs like "I made the exact same thing as this guy but without AI so you can enjoy it" cause they basically just wasted their time doing something that was already done for legit no reason
Like instead of using their time & skills to actually make something new they ironically have to copy the ideas of people who use AI. Especially funny when it's a drawing, like if it was "AI slop" before why go out of your way to recreate "slop" & barely change anything about it?

The freedom to exchange commodities cannot exhaust the meaning of freedom in a society where human beings themselves have so little collective control over the conditions of their existence. Capitalism already restricts what people can own, buy, sell, or use.

can we start calling things human slop. i'm so sick of people acting like their code or math proof is inherently more valuable because they slaved away making it themselves. especially when the field is so fucking deterministic and we can actually check whether the result works.
what gets me even more angry is when it's a thankless effort like oss. someone spends their valuable time making something for you, for free, and you think it's okay to criticize how they go about it
and half the time, if they hadn't found an easier way to make it, the thing wouldn't exist at all. there isn't some "lovingly handcrafted" alternative waiting in the wings
there's just nothing.
each person being able to do way more means problems that wouldn't even have been given a thought can finally get solutions. somebody with a one-off bug in a game can go ahead and patch it themselves. somebody with a rare genetic condition could get together with a small group of people and have a real shot at contributing to research that nobody was prioritizing, without needing billions of dollars behind them just to get started.
people can finally do things they couldn't do before, including things nobody else was ever going to bother doing for them, and your first instinct is to get mad about how they did it.
i think that's so self-serving. when you'd rather something useful never existed than accept that somebody had an easier time making it than you would have, there's something genuinely ugly about that
Introducing Diorama: an OSS Minecraft minimap that shows your world in 3D, updating live as you build
Huge shoutout to @8Blits, this is heavily inspired by his map for @HallowPrison 🙏
Out now on CurseForge for Fabric, Minecraft 26.3 & 1.21.11
As obviously talented as this guy is I feel like his style is a bit one-note. A lot of smoke and mirrors with sweeping camera movements and everything moving at the same wobbly fluid pace, impact frames as easter eggs for viral social media posts etc. Like we get it already.
Are anti-AI people really so tunnel-visioned theyre now dunking on James Cameron for not putting more effort into a twitter post he was probably pressured into making to congratulate Marvel for having the most profitable movie ever? Using his own work as reference too no less😭
It never really occurred to me that The Dark Knight, which is widely considered to be a conservative work, has more or less the same concept behind its ending of a "necessary lie" as Watchmen, which is widely considered to be a progressive work.
Now discuss or something
I maintain that if AI is incapable of producing "art" by itself then that very fact necessitates a level of human input to transform it into "art" which precipitates various skills, taste & intent to be considered "good" work as that is still something we humans inherently desire
Capital also plays a role in this as those who own it can consciously steer and influence the course of this development at a disproportionate scale, having both a monopoly on the necessary resources to organize production and on the spread and dissemination of ideas and culture.
