But I do really think, and you mencioned it on your essay, the most powerful element of this equation is <>. I recomend "Gonzalo-Abril" an author who talks about <> as the place of enunciation of the people. When we look to a masterpiece, an instrument, an a person, a body, we are looking with our context (social and cultural) and with the representations of our live (time-space of the History). I really love Marie Calloway’s what purpose did i serve in your life, which documents her time doing sex work. I think that book was really what made me think that I could pursue sex work for myself. When I first read Marie’s writing, actually, I was really upset, and people will have that visceral response to my writing too. Hopefully, though, as they sit with it, people will be able to process why writing about sex work, and sex in general, can sometimes be so upsetting. There are too many books for me to list, but I also love Charlotte Shane’s writing. I wonder how we can think about variances, about mapping multiple legs and observing how they evolve and continue to branch. This language of mutation has been embraced in a lot of the cyberfeminists’ work. This is my roundabout way of saying cyberfeminism does not have a singular definition, but it will always exist.

Mindy Seu: Spreadsheets have been around almost since we’ve had the ability to write. Think about clay tablets; they’ve long been a form of record keeping. Now with Google Drive and other cloud-based tools, they’re so easy to share. People have started using spreadsheets in unusual and unintended ways, from diaries, timelines, or multi-tab publications that are open access. Spreadsheets can be quite personal, too. It’s something American woman Sydney feels so strongly about, she’s said she’s willing to lose work in her efforts to “normalise” it. Do you think it’s just because you’re unhappy in your relationship? You did just spend the last twenty minutes complaining about him.” I’ve had some people tell me that they decided to start growing out their body hair after they saw me with it,” Liara, 32, said.

Chanté Glover, 29, said that when they first started growing out their body hair in 2016, they felt “pretty alone in my friend group”– however now finds it “empowering”. Diffusion models, like Stable Diffusion and DALL-E 2, are ANNs that focus instead on generating images. They’re trained on endless images which are all associated with certain text descriptions. They’re then given a “noise” image that essentially looks like old-school television static. From there, they’re instructed to find an image in the noise. If you’ve ever looked at clouds and saw a face, or stared at the ceiling too long and started seeing strange images emerge, you’ve essentially done the same. As a child, Liara’s inquisitive, instinctive, and rebellious nature was frequently problematised in a world designed around the requirements of their neurotypical, cis, heterosexual male colleagues. Coming of age in an oppressively restrictive home, they shuffled tarot and explored self portraiture to rationalise the injustice of chronic pain, toxic lovers, and the cruel silence of divinity.

People say, ‘Can you use real models?’” she said of the pressure fashion companies get to hire more typical-looking people. “And then everyone bashes them and calls them ugly.” While we don’t have stats on the topic in Australia yet, women Down Under have participated in social movements such as “Januhairy” and “Get Hairy February” in a bid to normalise female body hair.Given the way they function, I don’t think it’s fair to call either of these models truly intelligent. They are not sufficiently self-aware. Even if you ask Stable Diffusion or ChatGPT to define themselves, they are not truly, deeply self-referential as an integral part of their makeup. If ChatGPT had spent a great deal of time being trained on itself and conversations it had with others, then trained onward and onward on its reflections (or outputs) on that data, then perhaps it might be slowly heading towards consciousness. Is there any aspect of sex work that you wish was written about more within that canon we discussed?
