@mcc carbon-neutral energy is the future and that seems pretty worth building to me

@mcc the way i'm managing it is thinking "i need to help build *my* future, because it sure isn't looking like they are thinking about me"

@mcc but yeah. part of it *is* actually, what to help prevent, ain't it.

@mcc helping to build the future is also trying to prevent it, because you're shaping the future you want to exist

@mcc prevent the future, as in like, end the world? Bruh thats what the fascists and techbros are doing. Dont be like them

@mcc the principle of "the future is here today, it is just not evenly distributed" demonstrates that many possible futures coexist in the present simultaneously, and thus it follows that we are not limited to one inevitable future. however, i conjecture that a given non-realized future is substantially less likely to come to pass if it is not first built.

@mcc yes

@mcc The future is coming no matter what and I'd prefer someone like you have a hand in it than otherwise.

@mcc the only way to prevent it is to build a different one!

@mcc If you help build a better one, I’m all for it!

@aeva @mcc this is not intended as a response to mcc's original question. we don't think it's a good idea to build generative machine learning stuff right now. the future we want is one that can't be built ("it is in your spirit or it is nowhere"), so we aren't about to try to convince people to build things.
if you have build-y urges, make art. art means something. art will mean something, as long as humans are humans.

@ireneista @aeva "ignore anything i won't collaborate with, make art" *was* my plan,
then the entities i was trying to ignore forced generative machine learning features into my operating system as i was using it,
and then when i switched to a different operating system forced generative machine learning outputs into THAT operating system.
i am made a collaborator without actually *doing* anything. software auto-update makes the decisions for me
