The Dawn of Mediocre Computing
I am back on this topic again.
In my world, Venkatesh Rao’s thinking on tis topic is front and center. Posting this now - because In other circles I found myself once more referencing his post from 2022 …
🔗 The Dawn of Mediocre Computing - Venkatesh Rao
A selection of quotes
Mediocre computing is computing that aims for parity with mediocre human performance in a realish domains where notions of excellence are ill-posed.
And ..
Excellent computing is computing that aims to surpass the best-performing humans in stylized, closed-world domains where notions of excellence are well-posed.
And ..
In the weird but realish world we live in, _mediocre _is actually harder than excellent, and way more useful.
And ..
In stylized domains like chess and Go, humans have to deliver _exceptional _performance (ie good enough to make money at them by winning championships) to ensure _mediocre _survival in the real world (enough prize money to live on).
There is a lot more besides, but I just realised that this journal had no connections back to this post - despite it being in my top 5 of VR posts (if number of references I have made is the measurement).
There’s also these ..

Foreshadowing Ciel's Revenge: Kuroshitsuji’s “His Butler, Performer” & Shakespeare’s Hamlet
Tumblr media Tumblr media
By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting
Episode 25, one of the first OVAs of the Black Butler franchise, has stood out to me as one of the most confusing entries to the series I can recall (you know, with the exception of all of Season 2…) and it seems fitting to discuss right before Halloween given the theme. For those of you not familiar with Hamlet or caught up on with this old episode of Black Butler, I’ve linked some summaries that I recommend as a brief run down:
https://www.shakespeare.org.uk/explore-shakespeare/shakespedia/shakespeares-plays/hamlet/ 
https://kuroshitsuji.fandom.com/wiki/His_Butler,_Performer
All up-to-date? Good--
"His Butler, On Stage" or “His Butler, Performer,” the Black Butler episode under review here, has been rolling around in the back of my mind for years now. I, a person who has--at one time--been obsessed with both Black Butler and Shakespeare’s Hamlet, have looked back on it fondly and questioningly in the handful of times that I re-watched it on Netflix. 
Initially, I thought it odd to show Hamlet in the series. Because, why Hamlet? Other than the main character wanting revenge, I didn’t really see any reason for it. However, now I see it as foreshadowing to what we currently see in the manga. For example, Hamlet refers to the country of Denmark having become like a prison in the play, and this comes as a response to always being watched by those around him. Hamlet is constantly being spied on and surrounded by potential enemies, which Ciel is facing at present by those like the Midford family (who turned their back on him upon learning he was/is not the eldest son of the Phantomhive family, the OG “Ciel”) and servants of the Queen. (Undertaker, too--as well as Tanaka, from what we can tell.)
This foreshadowing also extends to Ciel’s declaration for revenge, which is reaffirmed in Chapter 63 (it was released long after Season 1’s conclusion):��
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Moreover, with Lizzy as a stand-in for the role of Ophelia in the series (though she actually takes the place of a guard in the episode), we see the two fold tragedy of her character. First is the betrayal of Hamlet (in this case, “our” Ciel), the madness of the choice (Vol. 29, I believe), and--probably--a future death by suicide or accident. In fact, I would not be surprised if the Midfords undergo a tragedy similar to all of Ophelia’s family… 
And with that in mind, I think we can use this particular episode to get a clear idea that Ciel will have his revenge before this series comes to an end, though it will cost him his life and the life of many others. Likely the only ones to remain will be the faithful servants at his side (Finnian, Baldroy, and Mey-Rin. They seem like excellent stand-ins for Horatio. 
Tumblr media
Sebastian, meanwhile, seems to be a reflection of the madness and capability Hamlet has in the Shakespearian play. Hamlet, debatably, is both insane from grief and not, and we (as well as he) are led to believe that the performance of acting crazy/mad is blurred between reality and fiction. Regardless of Hamlet’s mental status, he is shown to be extremely capable. Not only is he witty enough to hide insults behind a mask of potential insanity, he’s able to root out treason (the order for execution written by his uncle), perform sword play, plan a new play for the actors to perform, and more. What better stand-in than Sebastian for this role then? As the capable butler not only performs things to perfection, but is constantly threatening to overtake Ciel should he let go mentally. This is confirmed later in the series during the Green Witch arc (specifically Chapters 94/95), but highlighted and foreshadowed in this early OVA when Ciel is distracted by the crowd and Sebastian takes aim with a sword: 
Tumblr media
What is perhaps the most pivotal point of the episode in question, and my comparison of Ciel’s story to Hamlet, however, comes from the all too well-known “To be, or not to be” speech provided in our play-within-a-play (a dramatic plot device or extended metaphor where characters narrate one story while still part of another) structure. 
In Hamlet, the play within is put on by actors who perform “The Murder of Gonzago” and acts both as an extended metaphor for Hamlet’s show of madness to his parents and those around him, but also a way to test whether or not Claudius is quilty of fratricide. In Black Butler, the play within the play is literally Hamlet being performed in the OVA, and the extended metaphor--the ending of Black Butler that is presented to us--is the tragedy that will come at the end of our long road to revenge. 
Tumblr media
Despite my initial blindness to it, the attribution or adaptation of Hamlet’s story in Ciel’s is fitting. Both are about, as Ciel puts it in the episode, “A young prince who loses his father and burns for revenge.” However, the stories are more than that--they’re a question of choice as highlighted by the all-to-famous “To be, or not to be” soliloquy. In Hamlet’s speech, he has basically made up his mind to commit revenge. He’s scared, though, as revenge will likely mean his death and what lies beyond life’s end is frightening and unknown. Sure, he’s seen his father’s ghost, so he can think that maybe an afterlife exists, but he has also been questioning whether or not the ghost is real. Moreover, while he has somewhat decided on revenge, he’s reaffirming that revenge is something he wants above any duty he may have to fulfill his ghost-father’s request or because of some other reason (like his mother remarrying so soon). Hamlet wants revenge for the wrongs he feels his uncle has committed and the crimes he suspects--it’s a personal want and a personal decision no longer made simply because his father’s ghost came about and told him to do it. Likewise, Ciel mirrors similar notions in the manga--his revenge is not for his family but for himself. 
Also reiterating this is Ciel’s version of the “To be…” speech, which is noticeably different from Hamlet’s:
“To be, or not to be: that is the question. My uncle is a cunning man. Even if I’m able to carry out my revenge, I shan’t escape alive. And… the truth is… I don’t want to die. Ah! Quit being a coward, hamlet! Drive out that foolish, stunted soul of thine this instant! My vow is a bloody one. There’s no turning back now. Now, let me be off, before the blazing sun in my blood rises.” 
Tumblr media
Other than the first line, every line is different from Hamlet’s, yet both are expressing their want for revenge and the fear of what happens to the soul after death, which is sure to follow. 
Two lines in the animated OVA that stand out in particular to make me feel like this is all foreshadowing, too, are these lines said by Sebastian,“Let’s make this a prelude to the bloody revenge coming” and “The curtain is finally rising on this tale of revenge.” 
But, what are your thoughts? Do you think the tragedy of Hamlet may foreshadow the ending of Black Butler? Or do you think I have, perhaps, read too much into it? I’d be interested to know…

🛑 This is my friends @michellekawi bike.. 😱 She took her bike for repairs to @m.r._performance after she had lost power to her engine. He guaranteed to fix her bike with full warranty and this is what happened while the bike was at his shop! 😱Apparently when he removed the gas tank and stored it during the repair he must have placed it an an area that caused the paint on the gas tank to peel off. In my opinion he probably placed it where the gas leaked out and caused the paint damages. In his attempt to fix or cover up he did a horrible job. 1. The red paint didn’t match the rest of the bike. 2. He did not strip, sand, prime, painted, re-sanded and clear coated the way a regular body shop would do. 3. The paint is peeling off. 4. He told her the paint job was not his responsibility and he was not going to guarantee the job and told her it was her responsibility. 🤬 Folks please before you take your bikes anywhere for repair please make sure to do your research on the mechanic and the shop. If you take your toys to a shop and something happens to your toys during the repairs it’s the shops responsibility to fix and correct whatever damages happened while your toys are in for repair!! @m.r._performance did a horrible job in attempting to fix the gas tank. Look at the pictures @michellekawi sent me. Clearly the paint is coming off, the red paint does not match and he doesn’t want to repair and/or send it somewhere at his cost and he’s removing himself from any responsibility for the paint job. For this reason do your research before taking your toys anywhere. DO NOT take your toys to @m.r._performance 🛑 If anyone can please help our girl @michellekawi with repairing her paint job please DM me or DM @michellekawi 🏍💯 https://www.instagram.com/p/B_prGyKAj9t/?igshid=1jd0tvh05xcoo

Poster _PERFORMANCE
The Magic Forest: Dwarves
The art process of the creation of the poster, started by identifying the main characters, the two Tall Dwarves and the two Short ones, along with the bard playing the music. It was decided that, as the bard was the common thread, it would be represented by a ribbon of colorful notes. A flowing pentagram connecting the two parts in conflict. The underlying conflict was represented by the characters' expressions and the ravine between them.  
Finally the colorfulness of the poster aims to create a fantasy ambiance and foreshadow the happy ending. 
The materials used were acrylic paints and watercolor paper.

_performance: “LINHAS DE FUGA” na festa @Stouradas HALLOWQUEER. Teresina, Piauí, Brasil_  Espaço Trilhos: 02 NOV 2019.
Tumblr media
RELEASE criação criatura criadora gestar, nascer da lama,  do pecado, do crime,   o que foge e faz fugir,
A performance começa com o solo de uma criatura que fugiu do laboratório de uma cientista-artista. Ela parece assustada, como um animal arisco, prestes a novamente fugir. O seu rosto é uma tela que foi rasgada da moldura de um quadro, como uma máscara. O restante do corpo da fera parece vir de Teresina. Aos poucos a criatura, que se escondia na arquitetura antiga e abandonada da cidade, atravessa as grades e invade o espaço do público. A cientista finalmente reencontra o seu projeto perdido. O que acontecerá neste dueto assombrado entre ciência e arte, entre a morte e a poesia?

Storyboard _PERFORMANCE
“Inside the magical forest, one of the groups that lives there are the proud and stubborn Dwarves.”
“Among Dwarves, there are two main groups that are at odds with one another: The Tall Dwarves and the Short Dwarves. The Tall Dwarves are hard workers and are exploited by the Short dwarves due to their height which is too much for dwarf standards.
In the story, two Tall Dwarves are enjoying some music from a famous dwarven Bard and some ale after a hard day of intensive labor, but they are rudely interrupted by some Short Dwarves who rudely mock them shortly after arriving at the bar. Sensing the impending fight, the Bard tries to pacify his public to no avail, but due to the presence of unwanted visitors, the Dwarves decide to move the fight away from prying eyes.”
