GPT, regardless of its value as science, is the latest way to extract value from a community's existence and bonds and function and labor and intelligence and skills and talent, and give it to people who are neither in nor of that community.

The thing about engaging in the delicious pilpul of the intelligence conundrum -- oh I feel it, I feel it, I'm an AI dork from way back -- is that it is an excellent distraction from seeing the extractive capitalism that has made and continues to make our lives -- our *privileged* lives -- bereft of meaning.

Oh, oh, let's debate Turing & Searle & Hofstadter & Minsky! Let's be angry, let's be slow, let's be open, let's be, let's be, let's be . . .

let's be not seeing the forest for the trees.

This article, ostensibly a printer recommendation, is actuality a perfect expression of the zeitgeist.

I argue we (#curl) should NOT pay docker. Not give in to extortion. This might mean that someone else soon suddenly will register our name and can serve whatever image they want there. 5 *billion* pulls indicate there's a user or two that might fall victim for this.

That's on docker, not us.
