[NetBehaviour] GPT3 sources
Does anyone have links for some good GPT-3 text generators? There was one whwre I could put in a paragraph and it would spit out 500 word blocks (or I think, whatever I wanted in length up to 1000 words) by pushing a button – My rationale was to adjust the feedthen regenerate every so often.

Sure. By end of Summer we should have a clusters of Hubs spaces open at Winona. One could be a nb soace. The main issue with a space like NB is its asynchronicity.

Make a post on any topic or responding to anyone else's post 2. Send an email with "Happy Lurker" in the subject header (to the list or privately to me - if you prefer to remain incognito) 3. Do nothing. At the end of this time, moderators will 1. gather a list of everyone who posted 2. update subscribers on the proposal to unsubscribing everyone who hasn't posted and depending on what we all decide 3. unsubscribe everyone who we haven't heard from/ or do something else. In this way, we will get to know new people a little, and be able to better see ourselves collectively. There may be a bunch of people who prefer to go un-announced (that's fine too). If they are really keen but prefer not to send an email saying so they can always resubscribe.

Hi Ruth, The invitation to post on any topic and/or respond to another post is a good one to open up discussion to broader topics. When I was more active on here I always took "networked distributed creativity" as something allowing me to post, but deliberately reading it as 'network distributed' rather than 'networked & distributed' - I'm quite useless at networking be it technologically, or socially and professionally. Creativity was to me always the thread weaving through it all - but I manage to see that thread pretty much in all aspects of my life however tenuously connected to the arts that may be - which is something I'm interested in posting about.

"If we can agree that we (all subscribers) collectively own this place, and are willing to reflect on this occasionally - that's more than enough for me. We can stay with furtherfield legacy infrastructure and near-zero moderation by Marc and me for now (if that suits everyone)." I was asking for responses to a proposal. I see your point about allowing people to go undeclared - I think it's a good one. On Sat, Jun 12, 2021 at 3:52 PM Alan Sondheim via NetBehaviour wrote: Hi Ruth, I probably stand alone here. Occupy was many things, wasn't that well organized, I was there several times. There was always a drum circle on the outskirts that interrupted flow. There were outlying groups and meetings that weren't on the main site. It was chaotic. It was bottom up. I don't like the suggestion below. First, I'm on a number of lists; on most of them I don't post, but I learn. This is a tradition all the way back. There are lists people have been silent on because they've infiltrated right-wing or fascist organizations. There are people on lists who don't want to be counted or accounted for, for many reasons. Your suggestion seems like a forced enrollment: come forward, tell everyone who you are, or you're gone. Another way to look at that: It's a privilege to be on this list and you must actively participate or you're gone. Or it's your duty as a member of this list to participate or you're gone. Or if you're shy and just interested in reading or possibly backchanneling only, you're gone. This literally has me in tears. For me, again, lists have had the advantage of the commons. But this commons then has a different purpose, and if you don't fit in, leave. Then it's not a commons, is it? Or are you talking about a commons where people must announce their presence or be gone? You say "This revolved around efforts to create open access" - but does this mean that you _must_ access publicly and make your presence known? Every list I'm on, by the way, is advertising-free; people might announce they have a harmonica for sale (harmonica list) or a new book has come out (wryting-l) or they're showing somewhere (Netbehaviour), but they're not advertisement-based of course. People announce from within the list, not to it. We have to "know who is in the woods"? In England, perhaps land and parkland is managed differently than in the U.S. You have to sign in at National Parks, but just once - in fact that's like a subscription - but you don't need to announce who you are on any basis to everyone else. In state parks, you just go in, Much as this country is horrific and lawless and armed to the teeth, we feel comfortable going to parks (except for the tics). I honestly don't feel comfortable on this list, and apologies for not being more helpful. I'll continue posting daily, you'll do what you want to do; the very performative discussion of unsubscribe is a signifier of power. I am so tired of, so worn out, by promulgations of power. (Yes, I know, power is everywhere, etc. But there are degrees and there are safe spaces, at least for now.)

I now have a much better sense of what its value is to some of us at the fireside and a few of the people from the woods. I've also been greatly enjoying the recent exchanges! I also found Adam's email beautiful. Especially personally resonant because I lived for a year in Penryn unaware of the history of the Ordinalia there. I find the format of passion plays - "acts" of faith "performed" by people in the places where they belong - enthralling.Thanks for that Adam! Annie's response was also really helpful for me. The revolutionary impulse of the early media art initiatives that interested me was tied up with infrastructural critique and a desire to create a new art context together. This revolved around efforts to create open access, and co-ownership of the media and platforms we needed for collaboration. Bringing together FLOSS and Art. There is still a lot of inspiring work in this area Constant https://constantvzw.org/ for example. While I "get" the Occupy vibe here, it doesn't feel so useful as an analogy for this list/community as it stands at the moment. Occupy's central commitment was to participatory democracy.

The project is a political one not an art project - I’ve had a good number of pieces which are simply people as requested speaking to camera in an expression of solidarity or allyship - anything different would call attention to itself massively and also run the risk of being misinterpreted as levity. I’d hoped the context was clear - it arises out of my political, not my artistic involvement. Most of the contributors will be local to where I live. I posted it here because I thought ( rightly I believe) that people would agree with its thrust and message.

I'm making a video for Harlow and Bishops Stortford Stand up to Racism groups for the UN Anti Racism Day international events on March 20th . We normally take part in a national physical demonstration in the UK in this date but we're having to exercise our imaginations this year. At the least it gives us the opportunity to invite participation from people in lots of different locations. The idea is this: Video yourself, landscape format, saying " My name is [first name] and I want to live in a world without racism " You then e mail it to me at this address (or WhatsApp it to me : zero zero four four seven nine seven nine eight four two three six two ) and I will stitch every contribution into a film with music. I hope the end result will be simple but powerful. If your main language is not English we actively encourage you to record in that language. We will run the eventual piece on the day on FB, Twitter, Insta and YouTube with warm thanks for listening and even warmer hopes that you send me something :) Michael ___ NetBehaviour mailing list NetBehaviour@lists.netbehaviour.org https://lists.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour ___ NetBehaviour mailing list NetBehaviour@lists.netbehaviour.org https://lists.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour ___ NetBehaviour mailing list NetBehaviour@lists.netbehaviour.org https://lists.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
