The other costs of LLMs. Or should we start calling them IPs? Internet Parasites?

The Terror of Total Dasein | Hito Steyerl - DIS MagazineDIS Magazine
https://dismagazine.com/discussion/78352/the-terror-of-total-dasein-hito-steyerl/

The author writes about junktime, which I think is an even higher step from kairos -> chronos -> junktime. Who was it again who said that Kairos is village life, Chronos is city life, controlled by the clock, and then Junktime might be online life, controlled by ever presence.

https://svgees.us/blog/hsl-bad.html

So there is no scientific proof that hsl is easier to use. But it does resemble the way human describe colours, much more than rgb.

Programming as Theory Building - Peter Naur · GitHub
https://gist.github.com/onlurking/fc5c81d18cfce9ff81bc968a7f342fb1

Interesting: programming is not about finishing a product, it is about making, understanding and working with the thing. So programming is not about the end result, it is about the experience. Reminds me of chronos vs kairos.

Granular Time — Silvio Lorusso
https://silviolorusso.com/publication/granular-time/

Observations about shrinking time, the idea that the computer didn’t give us more time, as promised, but instead filled our lives with micro tasks. We should leave the clock at the door in many situations, like the art/design classroom

Some interesting ideas here, most notably that you should decide what the discussion is about. At the moment, silicon valley decides and that’s bad.

James Bridle: ‘The Denial of Genocide Is on the March Everywhere’ - ArtReview
https://artreview.com/james-bridle-schelling-architecture-award-the-denial-of-genocide-is-on-the-march-everywhere/

Shocking article about the ‘hysterical obedience’ in Germany:

very common in Germany, that to be law-abiding means not merely to obey the laws but to act as though one were the legislator of the laws that one obeys.
