       made a plan for if all the computer stuff goes bust due to the slop industry:—become a trans goth/punk/industrial music/performer and live on tips and merch—give courses/seminars to worn-out IT/business people on how to be creative without ai

       @mntmn Computer stuff will not go bust, it just sleeps a bit until the slop industry finally defaults and all the ICs and PCBs go back to the real market.

       @mntmn I think a big problem overall is that the folks were not taught that they were always creative and didn't need permission or anything other than their imagination and curiosity to be creative in the first place.

       @mntmn while I can see you as an incredible goth/punk/industrial musician, I really hope you can continue the MNT project and be successful with it. The MNT Reform is an incredible machine; it really empowers users to learn what the computer is doing while most machines obfuscate their workings from the users.

       @mntmnsounds like a good plan!and much more solid than what the slopsters are trying to make me do...seriously, tinkering with instruments, making beautiful noise and helping people to get back on track is the way. maybe always has been.

       @mntmn I feel like the slop guarantees space for the esotericist. It reinforces orthodoxies of rote work, meaning the person with true understanding becomes some kind of de facto mystic simply by knowing how to dodge unnecessary complexity.My job didn’t get any harder but people seem to think I’m magic now because they didn’t bother to understand how claude-code works because the marketing said they wouldn’t be able to.

       @mntmn I used to be more worried about other people’s high standards and now I am definitely not worried about that even slightly.
