• Listened: [[Microdose: Californian Capitalism]]

  • More interesting stuff in there. Some of the later history around Palo Alto, the internet, militarism, Leftist protests, possible liberatory potential (or not) of the internet.

• Writing: [[Reclaiming the stacks: August 2023 roundup]]

• Read: [[‘A certain danger lurks there’: how the inventor of the first chatbot turned against AI]]

  • "Perhaps his most fundamental heresy was the belief that the computer revolution, which Weizenbaum not only lived through but centrally participated in, was actually a counter-revolution. It strengthened repressive power structures instead of upending them."

• Previously on [[2023-08-05]], note that time and date are in Philippine Standard Time as I write this, although you do you use UTC for simplicity.
  • Committing some changes to my dotfiles for segfault.net container instances and obviously prepped the AUTHORS/CONTRIBUTORS file behind the scenes for legal reasons

• Across the interwebs

• [[Action]] comes before [[thought]]. The [[rules]] of the [[game]] come after the game has been played out, and [[people]] want to make sense of the game after the fact of [[play]].
• Both ‘[[people]]‘ and ‘[[folk]]‘ come from ‘[[army]]‘, the form of which comes from ‘[[fill]]‘. Compare to ‘[[strategy]]‘ which comes from ‘[[spread]]‘.
• [[Time]] comes from [[movement]] and what one can do with an [[environment]]. A familiarity with an environment or [[situation]] can, relative to another’s [[perception]], slow down time.
