@soatok

Do it. Make a real product, offer it for sale, try to sell it to boards. It probably won't sell but it'll make the C-Suite lose a lot of sleep. Why should workers be the only ones to worry about AI?

(No, seriously, are there not a few tech lottery winners out there who'd be up for funding this kind of prank?)

One of those traps is reducing everything to ingroup and outgroup conflict, resisting any articulation of the superordinate goals we might share as a coalition instead, and using intelligence & technical skill as a weapon to take away people's belonging

i only knew hamish casually in his later nyc years but think of him often. have a very fond memory of sharing a blissed subway ride after neil young at the garden (2012, i think) & grasping that the clean were punks but that they were also *heads*, the new zealand '70s/'80s psychedelic weirdo front.

starting to try to figure out how to do color snaps... reusing my old F-mount lenses (from back when I used to do B&W film with a Nikon FM body) on a digital body (a slightly-less-old Nikon D40) with less resolution than my iPhone. but still, it is fine for learning. I've never done color before...
