I’ve been seeing this screen cap a lot lately, and as someone who built web sites for magazines starting in 2000, it’s not really accurate. Libraries are funded, and they pay for their books. The early internet was predicated on the idea that everything should be free. No one pays anything.

I feel like Damasio in writing parts of this book was anticipating the inevitable projection of consciousness on LLMs with passages like this: Pg 45-46: "Trying to find the source of consciousness in a dedicated 'consciousness-making' device is futile. " 1/3

This past of my thread has attracted a lot of responses of the form "Nuh-uh! You have to prove *your* claim!" and I think it's worth reiterating that the burden of proof lies with the people making the claim, not those of us refuting it. Why bother refuting it at all? >>

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, and I am not the one making the extraordinary claim, so it is not my job to specify what the evidence should be. >>

Maybe holding independent creators to the same standards that we do huge soulless corporations was never really fair. We could have let everyone draw their big tiddy OCs in peace.

Nat Turner was a terrorist. At least, that's what they'd expect the Black community to call him if it were today. He was born October 2, 1800....or 236 years ago today. And somehow they expected a man born enslaved to never want to rebel. To escape. To take revenge.

Four books with Nat Turner as the subject. Left to right, top to bottom. 1. Ten Black Writers Respond to William Styron's "Confessions." 2. The Confessions of Nat Turner by William Styron 3. Nat Turner's Slave Rebellion by Herbert Aptheker. 4. The Resurrection of Nat Turner. Part 1 by Sharon Ewell Foster
