Thinking about a stance on so-called AI and I think I can just point to the work of critical scholars such as Timnit Gebru and Emily M. Bender.

I personally am sick of the hype and sick of how it ties into a development of devaluing human labor and creativity, increasing enshittification, ongoing exploitation of the already precarized (especially in the Global South), and increasing concentration of wealth in ever fewer hands, as well as shutting down avenues for creatives to make a living.

If you like my work and have enough to share, here's your periodic reminder that you can #support this queer neurodivergent artist in several ways, for example on #LiberaPay: https://liberapay.com/modern_dragon/

and on ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/modern_dragon

I added Stripe support to my liberapay recently so you don't have to go through PayPal.

I also have some music on #bandcamp :bandcamp: https://emergent.bandcamp.com/ (the project that is probably going to see more releases in the future)

Time for a new #introduction!

I'm a classical #mezzosoprano and #musicologist by training. I listen to #classicalmusic, #metal (mostly progressive), #ebm and a random assortment of other stuff.

I'm a regular #fawm participant, and I compose more or less #experimental #electronic music in #SuperCollider. I do #livestream s where I explore :sccube: concepts and compose out loud.

I sing #choralmusic (classical and jazz) and play #guitar. Will occasionally infodump on #musictheory.

I feel like I ought to take a stance on crypto stuff, namely cryptocurrencies and NFTs.

And that stance is: I am convinced they are harmful on many levels. (see: https://everestpipkin.medium.com/but-t he-environmental-issues-with-cryptoart-1128ef72e6a3 )

If you're into it, leave me alone with it. I don't want to discuss it, and I don't want to be part of it.
