always had the impression she's even more into the cruises than he is 😬

This applies to writing too. The struggle is where you learn the important stuff

Doctors love to play golf because it's like making the earth take pills

So much AI stuff in general is clearly founded on a desire for not having to socially exist in any human way. Turn life into a prolonged flow state of game tutorials where you're constantly checking menus and following directions and none of it "really" matters because the menu won't judge you

More people need to play Anthology Of The Killer. Some of the funniest, most creative writing I've seen in an interactive experience.

(guy who’s not very good at it) i make this shit look difficult!

[bookended by two prolonged periods of complete silence] i’m just sayin’

Calling AI "slop" has been one of the most effective instances of the public rebranding a product and it pisses them off.

"the left is ignoring the usefulness of AI" no it's more like it is kind of central to left leaning politics that causing massive negative externalities for your own personal convenience is a shitty way to live. you're just saying you do not like the implications of this position

gamedevs today are always making "love letters" to certain genres. but what we need is more hate mail.

It’s so funny to think about the fact that there’s people out there deferring every life decision to this

✊🏾🖤💛❤️

it's bizarre because the real problem with mewgenics is how *unchallenging* it is. it's stuck in a status quo from 20 years in the past and everyone else has moved on.

it's insane that it somehow feels more dated than the shit he made 15 years ago

I have to recommend Book of Knots (another Kihlstedt and Bossi band) as well. Especially Traineater, their concept album about the rise and fall of American railroads.

I know the lootbox Bobby kotick Epstein email is wild but microtransactions go all the way back to arcade machines which required quarters to continue playing. lootboxes were not invented by Activision gatcha mechanics preexisted that shit by years. Please believe in the existence of history

The millennial's curse: Very online 30/40 somethings cannot write, talk, or make art without constantly trying to defy or (worse in some ways) outflank the scorn of an audience they will never know or see. If that curse has extended to how you interact with your kids, you're well and truly cooked

SCROOGE WHEN A GNOME RIDING A UNICORN APPEARS IN HIS ROOM ON NEW YEAR'S EVE: what did I fuck up now

tbh i genuinely believe that people doing shit like breaking down narrative media into constituent "tropes" and actively pursuing media based around if it fulfills their preferred tropes and showing that you can market a work purely on it fulfilling those tropes was a precursor for AI slop media

Phonics the Speech-hog

TFW u open BlueSky and a bunch of ppl are vaguely posting about the same shit

the difference between science fiction and fantasy is that science fiction is about magic and the mystical and emotions whereas fantasy is about hard mathematical science and rules and stat systems

I spend so much time verifying everything now from art to cited sources to photos to historical references to citations to quotes to legal and medical information that it's really hard to fathom how much work AI has collectively added to the world, not reduced

I know a lot of you have your billionaire hit list priority and I'm sure many of you are correct in your list order, but real talk... For me...

First against the wall is that mfer who killed Glitch to turn it into fucking Slack.

lmao

The weird thing is I don't know if it's just that it didn't age well. I remember when it first came out thinking that it was visually a step backwards from Finding Nemo. Even as a kid I was like 'some parts of this look unfinished'

It's worth noting, Vince Gilligan was not actually the showrunner for Better Call Saul. BCS was Peter Gould's.

I guess you can sort of get from helicopter to helco, then from helco to uncle

tweet from @arod_twit: "characters in tv shows are too self aware now! every emotional convo is like "i guess i yelled at you earlier because i never processed dad leaving" no!! no!!! flush someone's blood pressure medication because they called you lazy."

i think about this tweet a lot
