When I say useful I mean as a tool. Like a search engine is useful.
They’re trying to market it as a replacement for a whole civilisation rather than a suite of time saving software.
Possibly because they spent soooooo much building it that only a new civilisation will be adequate compensation
Thing is, it is useful. Sometimes. The text to speech stuff has been an absolutely huge grind saver for letters and meetings at work.
When I try to get it to do something clever I quickly arrive at “this would have been easier to do myself”
I also despise the very idea of AI for anything creative
OpenAI: We’re burning money like the Joker. A miracle needs to happen for us to turn a profit
Microsoft: Please please use our AI systems, we’re teetering on the edge here
Anthropic: I wonder what’ll kill us first: lawsuits, regulations or model collapse
Media and universities: AI is here to stay
That NIN(oize) record absolutely fucks
NIN tomorrow too
And the long awaited return of @iamsunbane.bsky.social at the start of May
There was a graphic novel back in the 90s that had Bison drugging everyone with Doll and turning them into violence drones. That sort of level. Doesn’t have to be Shakespeare, but at least a decent YA anime story.
Am I the only person alive who thinks that they could actually tell a proper story with the raw material they have in Street Fighter? I know there are bigger problems, but I’ve felt like everything since the animated movie (and before) was a missed opportunity
Massive Attack
Tom Waits
BoC
Not used to good stuff happening
I like the idea that you can be 60 years old, winning Oscars for Pixar films and also stand on stage screaming about how hard you want to bone someone whilst a pyramid of androgynous mud people claw at you in front of 50,000 people then go down a big slide.
Gives me hope.

Wonder if we can get Vance to come and drum up support for Reform
This far.
And no fucking further.

My version will feature fewer guitars (although not none) and more eurorack prettiness.
New York Times headline reading: "Hungary's Orban, Beacon to the Right, Concedes Election Defeat" Sub-headline reads: "Prime Minister Viktor Orban, who has inspired populist movements globally, could not overcome the growing dissatisfaction of his own citizens."
It's been a challenging decade and especially a difficult few months - so let's celebrate victories when we have them. Hold on to this as proof that these assholes aren't gods and they aren't inevitable. Congratulations Hungary!

LOL. Fuck of Vance. May this be the first of many.

No honey, we have a Cuban Missile Crisis at home
Two weeks of pretending everything is normal followed my more threats of Armageddon.
Impeach the motherfucker, or live shamed and die empty. History is watching.
Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads: The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist
Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.
It's true. New music from SUNBANE, very soon.
Hypnotic drone-rave for humans.
Single release ahead of something bigger that I'm working on...
Gross to imagine someone debasing themselves like that before the bastard, but an entirely fitting and appropriate end to her career
She was only there to ask for directions on how to get away from there. Or to try and reign in his worst impulses. Or something.
Off you fuck.
I know there are plenty of other ghouls waiting to don human skin and do the job, but I can still enjoy the fact she is having a terrible afternoon.
Double jump. That’s just OP. They’re going to find all the cool secret caves whilst we’re still scrubbing around at ground level.
Trans rights are human rights. Period.
A few songs for #NoKingsDay. This one could not be clearer.
"Corruption"

The current US regime is a nakedly fascist imperial project. If slavery benefits America, they are pro slavery. If genocide benefits America they are pro genocide.
Could be argued they have just taken the mask off, but fuck me the face underneath is hideous to behold.
Overlord: What if Closer by NIN but also Famous Monsters by Chromatics but its a British guy crooning about the AI apocalypse over a modular synthesiser (with maybe a little help from the OP1).
WMD: Motorik Komische jam - not about weapons of any sort and no I'm not telling you what it stands for
