#externalisation

[protoslacker]

Of the 80 million images opted out, only about 40,000 came from individual artists. That’s less than 1 in 2,000. The rest were opted out in bulk by platforms such as Shutterstock and Artstation. This shows that even the small dent made by opting out was only possible because of collectives looking out for artists. That’s the crux of the issue: the problems that generative AI creates are structural and collective. They cannot be solved by pushing the responsibility to individuals.

Sayash Kapoor and Arvind Narayanan at AI Snake Oil. Artists can now opt out of generative AI. It’s not enough.

Opting out is the latest example of generative AI developers externalizing costs.

the fanon that dick was awful to his successors — being abusive to jason or mean to tim — is very funny to me because he categorically handled being replaced better than either of them did

The UK-Rwanda Refugee Arrangement - The Principle of the Thing

Author’s note: This is a paper I wrote in May 2021 for my refugee law class on the – you guessed it – UK-Rwanda refugee arrangement. As a result, its rather more academic than most of the material on here, but I find it interesting anyway, and I had a bunch of fun writing it. It was supposed to be published, but I was too busy arguing at the ICC Moot Court at the time, and it is now outdated.…

forever fucking thinking about hal's name reverting back to ar when he became part of arquius

possibly controversial opinion, however, I am extremely wary of how people in witchy & pagan spaces are beginning to spiritualise ‘inner child work’. For those unknowing, inner child is a psychotherapy & IFS concept that seeks to provide therapy via metaphorical ‘parts’—the idea is that all of us have ‘parts’ that operate like a family unit. I won’t go into too much detail because I myself am not a licensed therapist, my biological mother is, but overall I am extremely wary of people trying to recommend courses/spells/rituals for a psychotherapy model especially without the guidance of someone actually trained in this. IFS can do serious damage even with a trained therapist, so why is it becoming a practice people are pushing as necessary in some spiritual spaces?

“Coryo only cared about Lucy Gray’s survival for his own selfish reasons”

Coryo thinking about Lucy Gray’s survival:

Before any thought of his own well-being or the incumbent threat of his family’s imminent homelessness, comes Coryo’s desire to help Lucy Gray survive the Games. Those worries don’t negate the sincerity of his intentions towards Lucy Gray, just like Katniss cared both about the survival of her family and keeping Peeta alive. Personal, ‘selfish’ needs can and do coexist with altruistic ones in most people. Not to mention that Snow being willing to do anything to ensure his and his family’s survival doesn’t scream villainous mastermind. He’s an underdog whose only concern is staving off hunger and doing a good enough job to achieve some sense of security.

His determination to keep Lucy Gray alive is born out of gratitude, honor as well as selfless love. Coryo’s motivation here is entirely altruistic: he risks everything he has at stake (his reputation, his chance to save his family from ignominy and hunger, his entire future) to give Lucy Gray a bigger chance at survival.

If it had only been a matter of getting the Plinth money, he would’ve focused all his efforts on endearing himself to the Plinths (as he ends up doing at the end of the story). On the contrary, violating the Academy rules and basically challenging the purpose of the Hunger Games could only result in Coryo’s fall from grace.

It’s not the cheating itself, but the circumstance that he did so for the love of one of the tributes that lands Coryo in exile. If he’d cheated simply to show off or for any other selfish reason, you can bet his punishment wouldn’t have been as extreme. Dr Gaul sees how having a soft spot for Lucy Gray will eventually compromise his allegiance to the Capitol: it’s one mistake that cannot be tolerated in the future elite of Panem.

at the end of the day rhaenyra will always pick playing a Man over everything else because her frame of reference for powerful people are the men in her life who abused everybody and never had to reckon with the constraints of the gender binary the way she was forced to. or punished so severely because of their gender either. I wished they’d given her armour and a haircut too but that’s ok we can still work with daemon’s warbraid and weird imperial targcest gender identity.

loki and sylvie are a particularly interesting dynamic to me coz someone could be like "they're the same" and i'm like no you don't get it, but someone else could be like "they're different" and i'm like no you don't get it

genuinely enamoured by how ugly shima's emotions are as they bubble to the surface.

he's doing better, right? he's taking his fate into his own hands, working hard at his acting after years of shunning it, so surely he should get something back from the world for this? but, well, sometimes it doesn't work out like that. sometimes it's not about him, for better or for worse. he's oscillating between feeling worthless and feeling entitled on a dime.

and that's starting to leak out in ways he's never let it before, risking hurting other people. it's going to be rough, sure, he *will* hurt others, but this is still a necessary part of his journey. he'll be able to get back up *because* he's fallen down

as an ex religious person imo praying is just another form of manifestation and self love and reassurance, you can have it too! it’s just easier sometimes when you externalise your being as god .. or so I’ve found
