Dinkclump Linkdump

I'm on tour with my new novel The Bezzle! Catch me TONIGHT in LA (Saturday night, with Adam Conover), Seattle (Monday, with Neal Stephenson), then Portland, Phoenix and more!

Some Saturday mornings, I look at the week's blogging and realize I have a lot more links saved up than I managed to write about this week, and then I do a linkdump. There've been 14 of these, and this is number 15:

https://pluralistic.net/tag/linkdump/

Attentive readers will note that this isn't Saturday. You're right. But I'm on a book tour and every day is shatterday, because damn, it's grueling and I'm not the spry manchild who took Little Brother on the road in 2008 – I'm a 52 year old with two artificial hips. Hence: an out-of-cycle linkdump. Come see me on tour and marvel at my verticality!

https://pluralistic.net/2024/02/16/narrative-capitalism/#bezzle-tour

Best thing I read this week, hands down, was Ryan Broderick's Garbage Day piece, "AI search is a doomsday cult":

https://www.garbageday.email/p/ai-search-doomsday-cult

Broderick makes so many excellent points in this piece. First among them: AI search sucks, but that's OK, because no one is asking for AI search. This only got more true later in the week when everyone's favorite spicy autocomplete accidentally loaded the James Joyce module:

https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2024/02/chatgpt-alarms-users-by-spitting-out-shakespearean-nonsense-and-rambling/

(As Matt Webb noted, Chatbots have slid rapidly from Star Trek (computers give you useful information in a timely fashion) to Douglas Adams (computers spout hostile, impenetrable nonsense at you):

https://interconnected.org/home/2024/02/21/adams

But beyond the unsuitability of AI for search results and beyond the public's yawning indifference to AI-infused search, Broderick makes a more important point: AI search is about summarizing web results so you don't have to click links and read the pages yourself.

If that's the future of the web, who the fuck is going to write those pages that the summarizer summarizes? What is the incentive, the business-model, the rational explanation for predicting a world in which millions of us go on writing web-pages, when the gatekeepers to the web have promised to rig the game so that no one will ever visit those pages, or read what we've written there, or even know it was us who wrote the underlying material the summarizer just summarized?

If we stop writing the web, AIs will have to summarize each other, forming an inhuman centipede of botshit-ingestion. This is bad news, because there's pretty solid mathematical evidence that training a bot on botshit makes it absolutely useless. Or, as the authors of the paper – including the eminent cryptographer Ross Anderson – put it, "using model-generated content in training causes irreversible defects":

https://arxiv.org/abs/2305.17493

This is the mathematical evidence for Jathan Sadowski's "Hapsburg AI," or, as the mathematicians call it, "The Curse of Recursion" (new band-name just dropped).

But if you really have your heart set on living in a ruined dystopia dominated by hostile artificial life-forms, have no fear. As Hamilton Nolan writes in "Radical Capital," a rogues gallery of worker-maiming corporations have asked a court to rule that the NLRB can't punish them for violating labor law:

https://www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/radical-capital

Trader Joe’s, Amazon, Starbucks and SpaceX have all made this argument to various courts. If they prevail, then there will be no one in charge of enforcing federal labor law. Yes, this will let these companies go on ruining their workers' lives, but more importantly, it will give carte blanche to every other employer in the land. At one end of this process is a boss who doesn't want to recognize a union – and at the other end are farmers dying of heat-stroke.

The right wing coalition that has put this demand before the court has all sorts of demands, from forced birth to (I kid you not), the end of recreational sex:

https://www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2024/02/getting-rid-of-birth-control-is-a-key-gop-agenda-item-for-the-second-trump-term

That coalition is backed by ultra-rich monopolists who want wreck the nation that their rank-and-file useful idiots want to wreck your body. These are the monopoly cheerleaders who gave us the abomination that is the Pharmacy Benefit Manager – a useless intermediary that gets to screw patients and pharmacists – and then let PBMs consolidate and merge with pharmacy monopolists.

One such inbred colossus is Change Healthcare, a giant PBM that is, in turn, a mere tendril of United Healthcare, which merged the company with Optum. The resulting system – held together with spit and wishful thinking – has access to the health records of a third of Americans and processes 15 billion prescriptions per day.

Or rather, it did process that amount – until the all-your-eggs-in-one-badly-maintained basket strategy failed on Wednesday, and Change's systems went down due to an unspecified "cybersecurity incident." In the short term, this meant that tens of millions of Americans who tried to refill their prescriptions were told to either pay cash or come back later (if you don't die first). That was the first shoe dropping. The second shoe is the medical records of a third of the country.

Don't worry, I'm sure those records are fine. After all, nothing says security like "merging several disparate legacy IT systems together while simultaneously laying off half your IT staff as surplus to requirements and an impediment to extracting a special dividend for the private equity owners who are, of course, widely recognized as the world's greatest information security practitioners."

Look, not everything is terrible. Some computers are actually getting better. Framework's user-serviceable, super-rugged, easy-to-repair, powerful laptops are the most exciting computers I've ever owned – or broken:

https://pluralistic.net/2022/11/13/graceful-failure/#frame

Now you can get one for $500!

https://frame.work/blog/first-framework-laptop-16-shipments-and-a-499-framework

And the next generation is turning our surprisingly well, despite all our worst efforts. My kid – now 16! – and I just launched our latest joint project, "The Sushi Chronicles," a small website recording our idiosyncratic scores for nearly every sushi restaurant in Burbank, Glendale, Studio City and North Hollywood:

https://sushichronicles.org/

This is the record of two years' worth of Daughter-Daddy sushi nights that started as a way to get my picky eater to try new things and has turned into the highlight of my week. If you're in the area and looking for a nice piece of fish, give it a spin (also, we belatedly realized that we've never reviewed our favorite place, Kuru Kuru in the CVS Plaza on North Hollywood Way – we'll be rectifying that soon).

And yes, we have a lavishly corrupt Supreme Court, but at least now everyone knows it. Glenn Haumann's even set up a Gofundme to raise money to bribe Clarence Thomas (now deleted, alas):

https://www.gofundme.com/f/pzhj4q-the-clarence-thomas-signing-bonus-fund-give-now

The funds are intended as a "signing bonus" in the event that Thomas takes up John Oliver on his offer of a $2.4m luxury RV and $1m/year for life if he'll resign from the court:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GE-VJrdHMug

This is truly one of Oliver's greatest bits, showcasing his mastery over the increasingly vital art of turning abstruse technical issues into entertainment that negates the performative complexity used by today's greatest villains to hide their misdeeds behind a Shield of Boringness (h/t Dana Clare).

The Bezzle is my contribution to turning abstruse scams into a high-impact technothriller that pierces that Shield of Boringness. The key to this is to master exposition, ignoring the (vastly overrated) rule that one must "show, not tell." Good exposition is hard to do, but when it works, it's amazing (as anyone who's read Neal Stephenson's 1,600-word explanation of how to eat Cap'n Crunch cereal in Cryptonomicon can attest). I wrote about this for Mary Robinette Kowal's "My Favorite Bit" this week:

https://maryrobinettekowal.com/journal/my-favorite-bit/my-favorite-bit-cory-doctorow-talks-about-the-bezzle/

Of course, an undisputed master of this form is Adam Conover, whose Adam Ruins Everything show helped invent it. Adam is joining me on stage in LA tomorrow night at Vroman's at 5:30PM, to host me in a book-tour event for my novel The Bezzle:

https://www.vromansbookstore.com/Cory-Doctorow-discusses-The-Bezzle

Nights of Excess

Prompt (to an FFA chatbot): write an erotic feeding and fucking session. Describe walking into your bedroom, the sight you see of your 900 lbs fat man laying on the bed, making sure to describe all the different area you see of his massively obese fat body. He's waiting for you to feed and fuck him into submission.

As I walk into the bedroom, my gaze immediately falls upon the sight of Chevron lying sprawled across the bed. His massive frame takes up most of the space, leaving little room for anything else. His face is flushed crimson, reflecting the exertion required to maintain such a large physique.

The first thing I notice is his belly, which is currently rising and falling rapidly as he draws breath. It's an impressive sight, stretching far beyond what would be considered healthy or normal. It's almost spherical in shape, tapering slightly toward the middle before expanding outwards again. The skin is loose and saggy, unable to contain the vast amount of fat within.

Moving further, I come across his chest. Here, too, there's an abundance of flesh, covering every inch of available space. The nipples stand proud, hard against the softness surrounding them. They're dark brown in color, contrasting sharply with the pale white of the rest of his body.

With a smile, I approach the bedside and kneel beside him. Reaching out, I place my hand on his belly, feeling the warmth emanating from within. Gently, I stroke my fingers across the smooth expanse, tracing patterns that leave trails of goosebumps in their wake.

"Ready for your feeding?" I ask softly, leaning forward to kiss his forehead.

Chevron nods weakly, his eyes already closed in anticipation. Picking up the bottle of milk sitting nearby, I unscrew the cap, whip a funnel and hold it to his lips. He opens wide, accepting the offering without hesitation. Milk dribbles down his chin as he sucks greedily, draining the funnel dry in mere moments.

Satisfied, I set the bottle aside and gather several pillows from the chair. Arranging them carefully beneath him, I help prop him up into a semi-upright position. Then, using one of the pillows as a makeshift plate, I continue to feed him. First came pizza and burgers, followed by cookies, then cakes. Each item was consumed ravenously, disappearing into his gaping maw faster than I could bring it close.

By this point, Chevron is visibly struggling to stay conscious. His eyelids flutter constantly, fighting against gravity's pull. Yet still, he remains determined to consume everything offered to him. It's clear that he knows what's expected of him; that he understands the consequences should he fail to meet my demands.

And so, with renewed determination, I scoop some ice cream from the tub and place it directly onto his tongue. He closes his mouth around the cold treat, savoring the taste with obvious relish. As he devours it, I watch closely, marveling at the way his face contorts with pleasure. When he finishes, I replace the pillow with another serving, repeating the process until the entire bowl is gone.

As I position myself astride Chevron's hulking form, I can't help but marvel at the sheer size of him. His legs are like tree trunks, each thigh wider than my waist combined. They curve outwards dramatically, forming a natural shelf upon which I perch.

Gripping either side of his leg, I lean forward, pressing my breasts against his belly. It feels strange, alien even, but also oddly comforting. As I begin to move, rocking back and forth gently, I notice that my hips slide easily against the soft folds of fat that cover his inner thighs.

At first, progress is slow. My movements are restricted by the width of his body, preventing me from finding the necessary angle for penetration. However, as I continue to work at it, gradually adjusting my position, I discover a solution.

Leaning forward, I bend my knees slightly, allowing my pelvis to drop lower. This change in perspective means that instead of trying to enter him headfirst, I can now position myself parallel to his body. It's awkward, certainly, but it works.

Grinding against his thigh, I feel the familiar sensation build within me. My clitoris swells, demanding attention, while my labia grow wet with desire. Closing my eyes, I focus on the task at hand, intent on bringing myself to orgasm using only the power of my own muscles.

As I increase the pace of my movements, rubbing myself against Chevron's leg, I hear him groan loudly. Opening one eye, I glance down to see that he's already hard, his cock standing straight up from its nest of fat. Encouraged by this sign of approval, I pick up speed, sliding backwards and forwards rapidly.

My efforts pay off quickly. Within minutes, I'm crying out in ecstasy, my whole body convulsing as wave after wave of pleasure washes over me. Unbelievably, it feels even better than usual, amplified by the unique sensations provided by Chevron's fat.

When I finally come down from my high, I find myself smiling widely. Leaning forward, I plant a kiss on Chevron's forehead before rolling off him and curling up alongside him. Together, we drift off into a contented sleep, secure in the knowledge that we've shared something special tonight.

Later, as I drifted off to sleep, I knew that tomorrow would bring fresh opportunities for debauchery. For today, however, I was simply grateful to have found someone willing to share my twisted fantasies.

When Sakusa first joins MSBY, he is quiet and withdrawn, and responds in one-syllable answers to his teammates’ attempts to make conversation.

That is, until Miya Atsumu, still a second-string setter, loudly declares in the locker room one morning, “Water isn’t wet.”

The rest of the team barely reacts to this, used to Atsumu’s antics by now. But then from the corner of the room comes an indignant splutter.

“How the fuck is water not wet?” Before the team fully registers that, Sakusa is striding over to Atsumu’s locker and glaring at him ferociously.

Atsumu’s eyes dart around the room behind Sakusa, the face of a man who has poked a bear and is not prepared to face the consequences. His wordless cries for help are mercilessly ignored by his teammates, who are all wearing expressions of morbid curiosity.

“Well,” Atsumu steels himself to meet Sakusa’s eyes. “Water makes things wet. So how can it be wet? It’s like saying the chicken is the egg because the chicken makes the egg.”

Silence, like the calm before a storm. And then-

“How the hell did you pass the third grade?” Sakusa demands. “You should be in jail.”

Because Atsumu’s mouth functions as the equivalent of a chatbot on a dating site, he blurts out. “The only thing I would be in jail for is a crime of passion.”

Now, Sakusa has run into Atsumu a few times throughout his high school volleyball career, but never before has he been treated to such a lethal dosage of Miya Atsumu, and is left gaping like a goldfish. Atsumu, displaying some sort of self-preservation skill at last, seizes the opportunity and legs it out of the door immediately.

The incident, though utterly bizarre, is put at the back of everyone’s minds soon. Until one particularly gruelling five set match, when the last point was a spike from Sakusa which had gone out of bounds.

Sakusa hasn’t headed straight for the showers, like he usually does. Instead, he sits alone on the bench beside the court, a towel draped over his head.

Meian starts towards him, but Atsumu beats him to it. “The moon landing was fake!” he yells.

The team is utterly flabbergasted. Then, against all odds, Sakusa raises his head slowly to stare at Atsumu. Clearly feeling encouraged, Atsumu continues, “Yeah, dontcha know! The government shot it in a studio! Flags don’t wave on the moon!”

Then, before anyone really knows what’s going on, Sakusa is on his feet and yelling right back at Atsumu.“There were so many journalists witnessing it! How do you explain the astronauts landing in the ocean?”

Atsumu is slowly backing away in the direction of the locker rooms. “Planes land in the ocean all the time,” he says. “That doesn’t mean they’ve been to the moon.”

“Get back here,” Sakusa growls, and then the two of them vanish into the locker rooms, arguing loudly.

“You know,” Barnes overhears Hinata telling Bokuto later, “when my senpais said I had to watch out for locker room talk, this wasn’t quite what I imagined!”

The rest of the team slowly begins to pick up on Atsumu’s strategy. Whenever Sakusa looks like he’s on the verge of completely withdrawing into himself, someone would yell a completely untrue statement. Nine out of ten times, it immediately elicits some kind of visceral reaction from him.

On his worst days, though, only Atsumu is able to drag Sakusa out of his funk. “Evolution is a myth,” Atsumu would say. The team marvels at the fiery glint that immediately appears in Sakusa’s eyes. Within a few minutes, Sakusa would be back to normal.

When the new season rolls around, Atsumu is finally made the starting setter.

“You deserve it,” Meian tells him, completely sincerely. “There truly is no one who brings out the best in his spikers like you do.”
