creative people in AI should know the 1954 ronald dahl short story “the great automatic grammatizator” about a writing machine that works faster & better than humans. authors prefer the machine writing and sell their name to the inventor. it’s all there. https://d-a-v-e.org/wp/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/The_Great_Automatic_Grammatizator.pdf

It's RFC 1's 54th birthday! If you were unaware, in 2019 I did a blog-a-day project where I read through and summarized/contextualized each of the first RFCs up through RFC 365.

I even uncovered a lost RFC!

I don't think we talk about Orthocera enough. Everyone is like "Yeah and then for awhile there were 30ft long squid-like creatures in dunce caps... anyways moving right along..."

And I just want to say "Hold up... HOW long?"

I bet deep in the ancestral memory of the octopus and the deep sea squid they remember... Ancestors. The Pointy Ones.

We need to shut down all evolution until we can find out what's going on!

if youre in nyc on april 15 come through to the show i am coorganizing at wonderville as part of livecode nyc!

the lineup is killer, and we are setting up a temporary pirate tv station to broadcast visuals onto as many CRTs as we can get our hands on! its a crunchy glitchy stuttery analog heaven 😍
