A general theory of slop: Given enough examples, humans will always learn to identify low-skill, low-effort work, simply because it becomes common. 1/5

We must not stand in awe of the magnitude of our global contradictions. We need to identify the contradictions at hand and look for transiterative processes we can enact now to impact our trajectory, so that greater contradictions come to be at hand.

Beckett: All of old. Nothing else ever. Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better. Evolution works through natural selection. Human processes work through intentional correction. Both are transiterative.

All theories of change are modes of transiteration, ways of "moving through again." Directing trajectories via action, feedback, and correction. Aristotle’s phronesis, Mao’s Mass Line, Freire’s pedagogy, Agile sprints. Power is control of correction. Trajectories are political.

In the age-old traditions of their planet, they began the year groggy and hungover, having slept through most of the first day. This, they believed, was the proper way to start the new year after ending the previous one with as much noise and fire as they could muster

Congratulations! It’s now exactly 2026 years away from, *checks notes* uh… nothing in particular?

the #communist meetup at #39c3 was incredible. Great moment whan we switched rooms with the #FLINTA cruising group to give them more space, and got a round of applause. Very sweet.

Cory's rousing #enshitification talk mentioned how capital always imagined the web as a kind of interactive cableTV, a series of walled gardens, reminded me of this text of mine from 2013, one of many on how the internet cam to be centralized. #39c3 public.monster/~dmyt...#enshitification#39c31/3

So, yesterdays Bluetooth hacking talk showed that an attacker can pretend to be your headphones and get a WhatsApp code via voice remotely to connect to your WhatsApp on there device, then login to your Amazon account with your phone number and WhatsApp account. #39c3

“Ironically, while libertarian capitalist theories of money can not account for Bitcoin, Marxist theories of money can. The face value of Bitcoin represents a certain worth in terms of the labour time embedded in the computation power used to mine it.“ 2018. Very accessible even for idiots like me!

If, like me, when you think about AI your thoughts drift to the organic composition of capital, here’s a thought you may find interesting: capitals with a high organic composition can only maintain profit levels so long as they can prevent excess supply from entering the market.

#39c3 coming up. My first was #19c3, I think i've missed 2 congresses and 0 camps since then.

From 2018: The Face Value of Bitcoin: Proof of Work and the Labour Theory of Value

My analysis of Bitcoin from 2018 has proven correct in many ways, and it's identification of the value mechanism has been supported by many studies, however the prediction that that when the speculative bubble will burst and BTC will eventually become a toxic asset has not. 1/4

It’s absolutely true that AI is reducing jobs, but not like you think. AI is not *doing* those jobs instead of people, AI speculation is redirecting *investment* away from job-creating businesses to capital-intensive businesses.

the key for agentic commerce will not be model sophistication so much as UX and product data. Probably open and inexpensive models will be more than adequate, but designing chat-driven adaptive storefronts and making enough product data agent accessible will be the differntiator

“The work was emotionally exhausting, with chat users confiding intimate details about their real-life relationships, as well as their own emotional trauma, falsely believing they were talking to an unfeeling AI chatbot.”

1/ Reactors I have known and loved: LAMPRE One of the weirdest and most innovative reactors that I've come across is the LAMPRE reactor. As some may know, one of the biggest safety problems that nuclear reactors experience is a meltdown, which usually occurs from a loss of coolant event.

Ok, which one of you is "gpi" and why is my silly public_html service so high on hacker news??? I don't know gpi and I didn't post this xD

The latest round of tech working mobilization inspired by Cory's "enshitification" framing is amazing to see, tho I can't help bracing myself for the inevitable wasted energy as people rush forward without understanding counterantidisintermediation public.monster/~dmyt...
