"How do I get more followers?"

Tell your own story. A lot of people don't know, for years I wrote a blog about trying to find love after divorce. That's where my early Twitter followers came from. Here's an example of a post from 2018, a story that still hurts...

I don't want to be a poet I want to be a poet's poet I want to be the poet that other poets read I want to be the poet that other poets quote I want to be the poet that other poets write about I want to be the poet that other poets teach I want to be the poet that other poets love I want to be the poet that other poets admire I want to be the poet that other poets emulate I want to be the poet that other poets want to be

Before I used Go I used more dynamic languages like Python and Ruby, where you can pass any value anywhere and change class definitions or functions at runtime, whenever you want. Go—and most other statically typed languages like C++, Rust—don't allow you to do this. One of the things that I believe strongly about computers and that drives the way I look at them is that they are completely human-made, they are a world unto themselves that we created. In the end, a CPU is just a pile of very smart sand. If you think about that and take it to its logical conclusion you will realize that a programming language might have an official set of features, but it also has another set of possible features that can be made to happen if you combine the features of the language in the right way.

Getting everyone to voluntarily give up their privacy by carrying recording devices on themselves at all times and planting them throughout their homes was every authoritarian’s wet dream come true.

* Était-il responsable de ce monde* ? Dans une certaine mesure oui, il appartenait à l’appareil d’État, pourtant il n’aimait pas ce monde. Et Bruno, il le savait, se serait lui aussi senti mal à l’aise avec ces burgers de création, ces espaces zen où l’on pouvait se faire masser les cervicales le temps du trajet en écoutant des chants d’oiseaux, cet étrange étiquetage des bagages “pour raisons de sécurité”, enfin avec la tournure générale que les choses avaient prise, avec cette ambiance pseudo-ludique, mais en réalité d’une normativité quasi fasciste, qui avait peu à peu infecté les moindres recoins de la vie quotidienne.

Is a translation meant for readers who do not understand the original? This would seem to explain adequately the divergence of their standing in the realm of art.

Was he responsible for this world? To a certain extent yes, he belonged to the state apparatus, yet he did not like this world. And Bruno, he knew, would also have felt uncomfortable with these creative burgers, these zen spaces where you could have your neck massaged during the trip while listening to birdsong, this strange baggage labeling “for security reasons”, finally with the general turn that things had taken, with this pseudo-ludic atmosphere, but in reality of an almost fascist normativity, which had gradually infected the smallest corners of life daily.

Purely computer-generated writing, in which there is no apparent physical “act” of writing, poses a further problem for this schema. I argue that this kind of writing can be understood as a “complex assemblage of parts” like the Oracle of Delphi that produces automatic writing. The computer itself acts as the medium in this assemblage, called into service to produce oracular texts in ritual systems (like the I Magma app), designed and constructed by magicians—in this case, the artists and programmers responsible for the app.[13]
