I'm learning programming because I'm fed up with the false reality the Internet is - you're playing in someone else's world, and that someone else is your oppressor. Ofc we can't be free building toy cannons in their little houses they've built for us on the web. #tech #literacy #queering #ecology #reality

Algorithmed (v): to be conditioned into thinking a certain way by algorithms that filter your reality in line with the goals of those who author them.
e.g., “They were algorithmed into thinking that way about trans people.”

you're replying to a post in which it is demonstrated that a suspension from #bluesky affects #blacksky
to ignore that, and yet still say what you just said, is rather cultish of you
so, ironic indeed
am i a cultist for championing #mastodon over bluesky?
i can be suspended from your server, calckey.world
doesn't affect my reach with other servers:
the #fediverse is truly #decentralized
meanwhile, i ask you to look at the post above again
because #reality is not a cult
“ #LLMs are a #technology suited to a decadent #culture, one that chases easy profits rather than tackles the real challenges we face. It’s easier to make money rearranging words according to various probabilities than it is to make a living improving the #health of our topsoil, #communities, and souls.”
“Tasks such as #writing well, #thinking well, and living well are hard, particularly for fallen and fallible creatures. But we gain the competence to meet these challenges responsibly only by careful, effortful #practice. No technological shortcut, no forbidden fruit, will alter this creatural #reality.”

*It's very sci-fi of me, I admit that, but I've always been charmed by the notion of some lonely Swiss patent-clerk messing around with some tabletop physics gizmo and accidentally destroying the Universe
*How often has that really happened, one wonders idly #reality
