i spend most of my times in my personal journals these days, but i’m happy to share the random drawing or wildlife photo here on bluesky. i can also be found on inaturalist under this username. i take being unserious very seriously.

yeah. i haven’t seen my ballot yet but ohio tends to have poor options in general and this year feels like a particularly bad one. with the exception of a judge or two, there’s nothing that i find inspiring this time around.

i remember when the tesla 3 was debuted. people said it looked great. no, it didn’t. it looked like someone took a loaf of bread, dunked it in water, and molded into a car. literally every other car manufacturer was putting out better looking cars at that price point.

and the car sits at the crossroads of ugly and dull, it looks like someone’s draft in their first year of design school, something someone put together to put in a modded version of gta, a fantasy hot wheels car. just looking at it makes me feel contempt.

the whole flying thing is ridiculous and worth ignoring, it’s as likely as the claim that the cybertruck could double as a boat. what annoys me is that it’s ugly, ugly, ugly.

ai bros: it’s conscious! cognitive researchers: you’re misunderstanding consciousness. programers: you’re misrepresenting how the coding works. philosophers: you’re stretching the very credulity of specific terms with your flippant use of them. ai bros: we made slaves!

drove through the park on the way to work this morning. pulled over and got out of my truck to take a picture of a patch of smart weed. along with the cool, damp morning and the streets littered with leaves, it’s a sure sign fall is truly here.

i think it’s incredibly odd that i get one pro-conway ad for every ten anti-landsman ads. i don’t know much about conway, but it seems like maybe he might have a pretty weak record and they’re trying to avoid bringing attention to that.

just saw the images of the new tesla roadster. it looks like it was based on a rough draft from a first year design student.

When we outsourced physical labor to machines, our bodies got weaker and fatter. When we outsource intellectual labor to AI, guess what’s going to happen to our heads.

i was going to guess maybe it’s the cooler climate, but looking them up wikipedia says they have species that go as far south as northern south america. you might just have a bit more luck on your side than i do. i wonder if they like certain types of plants in particular.

i always had a problem with those who touted the philosophy of effective altruism in relation to capitalism, because if they really believed in the free market they’d believe in people deciding for themselves how money should best be spent on both a personal and a social (governmental) level.

i think a core issue is how people view the world and where their priorities lie. their relationship with money and how they want to utilize it is a reflection of this. do they view money as a way of improving the world around them or to try and exert more control?

can't take "LLMs are people" discourse seriously when we haven't even convinced everyone that all people are people.

the wife and i are having our monthly dinner out at one of our favorite mexican restaurants. behind me are four young men, one of who has never had chorizo, and they’re peer pressuring him into getting it. i hope he caves and gets his chorizo cherry popped.

Tiny Tank (PS1) (1999) 1/5
Also marketed as Tiny Tank: Up Your Arsenal, like five years before Ratchet & Clank yoinked that subtitle, it introduces the titular Tiny Tank, a little armored tank with a positronic brain and a foul mouth, built by the SenTrax corporation near the end of the 21st century as a mascot for their company, pushing a legislation to use robots to fight our human wars, but during the filming of one of the promo videos, a robot with live ammunition accidentally blows up Tiny, splashing his positronic brain all over the robots and magically giving them sentience, while the robot that delivered the lethal shot deciding that robots need to wipe out humanity, calling himself Mutank.

100 years later, with the help of an orbiting AI satellite, little crab nanobots rebuild Tiny Tank as the lady AI tasks him to destroy all robots and save the small remains of humanity hiding underground.

Tiny reluctantly agrees, since he's the edgy, swearing loudmouth that he always was and needs to keep appearances, so he sets off to the desert of the real and traverses its canyons, blowing up robots that have the torso of Johnny 5 with treads and all, two chain guns for hands and and a head that kinda looks like a Veritech fighter head with two thin antenna ears and a red visor. One of the bots is just being blown up while the other gets out of a replicator domed machine and is like "oh shit this was a bad idea".Tiny Tank looking all cute with his little yellowy orange hull with two treads and a turret with two protruding cylinders for eyes as well as his cannon being his nose, hopping around and blasting its thrusters for extra height as he's dodging laser and rocket shots from two large chicken-legged bipedal mechs with a orb bodies, kinda reminiscent of the Zentraedi Battlepods, while Tiny shouts obscenities and wisecracking dad jokes.Tiny just chillin' on a metallic slab as it floats on a river of lava, slowly going through a massive factory complex while a turret pokes out of the wall, ready to blast.

The textures all have a painted in red shine from below, simulating the light emitting from the lava, which is a very nice touch and makes the scene pop more.Snow covered rocky canyons with Tiny launching off a ramp as he tries to shoot some turrets guarding a sci-fi fortress up on the ledge while the world is gradually fading in from the low draw distance, making the vertical rocky cliffs look ethereal and holographic until you get a bit closer.

that was around the time america was going into a painful recession. a lot of video stores started going under. family owned and chain rental places, as well as retail stores inside malls. for the next few years they just started closing because of the economy, not anime in particular of course.
