All Foy, no Pollocks now
Demi Pietchell interviews artist Michael Newberry. The headline mentions money laundering, but the discussion isn’t mainly about money laundering. It’s mainly about the Deepstate psyop of avant-garde art. The later history of the psyop is known, thanks to the Assange leaks of CIA documents. CIA sponsored and granted avant-garde visual shit and “progressive” jazz. The…

When tools were tools
Random pointless thought about algorithms and such. A tool is supposed to be a servant, not a master. It’s supposed to be an extension of your muscles and senses, not a battering ram to club you into submission. Before 2010 most of our tools were servants. The most basic tools like clothing and houses adapted…

Pinfeed and Pigskin, part 4 of 5
This is Metrology Day! I’ve done several relevant items in recent weeks, especially GenRad’s color comparator and a return to the alidade theme. = = = = = I’ve been researching and modeling a lost tech, closely related to my recent sequences on Pinfeed and Pigskin, and Pinfeed and GenRad. Instead of regrouping the previous…

Pinfeed and Pigskin, part 5 of 5
Now let’s look at the process of making and punching and selecting Filmsort cards. I’ve modeled some of Filmsort’s patents and reused some of my old McBee animations, subbing a Filmsort McBee card for a non-image McBee card. = = = = = Polistra is an office manager tasked with turning a company’s film into…

Why is music unique?
In Gioia’s latest interview he spends a lot of time discussing Romanticism, which is the parallel to my Foy Rebellion. He also uses Taylor Swift vs AI as an example of opposite trends. AI is removing the human element from the ‘low end’ of music, Swift is returning the human element to the top-dollar end.…

Literal viewpoint
In the simpler parts of reality, your physical position makes a huge difference. A motor is turning clockwise or counterclockwise depending on which end you see. Same for the earth, except that we’ve standardized the top view. Richard Rushfield and Ted Gioia are two writers with similar backgrounds, both writing in the same place about…

Eat it, Elon.
= = = = = START QUOTE: Return-to-office mandates at some of the most powerful tech companies — Apple, Microsoft and SpaceX — were followed by a spike in departures among the most senior, tough-to-replace talent, according to a case study published last week by researchers at the University of Chicago and the University of…

Foy vs Elon
Since I’m having fun with Elon cultists, here’s a beautiful example of tech thinking vs human thinking. The grotesquely dangerous CBRTRK has unsurprisingly turned out to be dangerous to its idiot buyers. The front trunk, like everything on the mobile sword, has sharp edges. The frunk, also like everything on the mobile sword, is fully…

Unsophisticated ASM
Continuing the food chain rule in terms of programming. I started programming in assembly language on the early PCs. There was very little “sophisticated food” available for the task I wanted to perform, so I had to write more of the action myself. There was also very little memory and disk space compared to modern…

Halal vs AI
This has undoubtedly been said many times (heh) but I don’t recall reading it before. Customized one-hour productions like movies, novels, plays, symphonies and operas are totally unlike all other human activity. All other activity consists of repeated reused segments, interspersed with possibly original commentary or filigrees. The typical job repeats the same transaction or…

No, wait
As usual I was doomscrolling, noting that many colleges are dropping “humanities” courses, which really means torturer training courses. I was pissed because all the online writeups were bemoaning the loss, blaming Deplorables. No, wait! WHY AM I PISSED? THE ACTUAL TREND IS MOVING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. The bitching from well-paid devils is a…

Even the Austinites are rebelling
Ted Gioia is enough of an insider that he gets invited to their events. He reports that even the wild-eyed Innovative Disruptors at the annual Austin SXSW thing are tired of AI. When a speaker spewed the standard Effective Altruism pitch for AI, promising to enrich the rich and cull the Negative Externalities more effectively…

More of the oddity
Lately I’ve been noticing an oddity, which may not be an actual trend. The official myth of “the economy” has been based on strictly fake and fictional “numbers” at least since Nixon. If we defined unemployment the same way we did in the 30s, the current unemployment would be the same as the 30s. We…

Converse
I’ve made the same observation about long-distance communication and languages, but for some reason didn’t fully assemble the two observations. Time to assemble. = = = = = Long-distance communication systems are always built by conquering armies and stock swindlers. The Chappe system was the archetype. It was built by the globalist “science”-godded tyrants of…

Foy on film
Jeff Childers, a lawyer who writes on the anti-vax side, has a lawyerly observation about the progress of AI. = = = = = START QUOTE: Soon, AI will not just be able to create millions of made-up videos, but it will also easily modify existing, ‘real’ video, of real people and real events, changing…
