JWcph, Radicalized By DecencyEnd capitalism 👊
He/Him, Northbridge Boi #WeAreNorrebro
Who I want to be when I grow up: Dolly Parton. The Doctor. Any of the Mythbusters. A guitar player.
Who I am now: Bad guitar player. Believer in the idea that society is a thing built by the powerless to keep the powerful in check & that #politics & policy failing to reflect this are incomplete at best.
I enjoy being politically outspoken & overanalyzing #PopCulture and building weird, practical and/or funny sh*t #maker #3Dprinting

JWcph, Radicalized By DecencyNew instance, new #introduction: Here to find fun & interesting things, share some of my own probably less fun & interesting things - it'll be things like #maker projects, ideas, tips, cosplay etc., technology, photography, science stuff, from outer space to deep oceans, the massive to the microscopic, also movies, music, comics, #PopCulture in general...
- but truth be told I'll pro'lly be posting far too much politics for my own (or anyone's) good.
Here's a squirrel in advance.

JWcph, Radicalized By DecencyWe have such a huge theft & fraud economy, it's easy to feel overwhelmed. For the love of all the muses - BUY FROM ARTISTS YOU KNOW & BUY FROM THEM DIRECTLY!!
If you saw something cool on Temu or Alibaba, or even Amazon: No, you didn't - you saw an unlicensed copy of something cool. Go find the real thing. Don't shop on those platforms.

I said this the other day & here @pluralistic@mamot.fr says it much better: Our only way forward is solidarity.
Find your people.

JWcph, Radicalized By DecencyIt's so fucking frustrating 😫
we wouldn't be in this situation if #tech #media had just told people the facts from day one:
#AI is not built to give correct answers - it's built to give correct-SOUNDING answers.
It's literally a form-over-content machine, built & promoted by people who think this is the right priority for literally everything.
As a thought exercise, try to come up with three things where form, not content, is what matters.

After all, this is the main idea driving AI: Believing you can do things you know nothing about.

JWcph, Radicalized By DecencyThe fact that Novo can present yearly profits - not revenue! - of DKK 29 billion (roughly € 4bn), and yet still be considered to be in a "crisis" so bad the CEO felt he had to resign due to dropping stock prices, should serve as definitive proof that the stock market is fully & utterly divorced from the real world.
It's a casino for psychopaths & should be treated as such.
