The worst part is that the players will now live forever knowing the official line is that they “voted” to play. It should never have been in their hands. But this will be the way it’s forever remembered. Horrible.

I do think we should bring back the Ticketmaster kiosks though, fuck it

Ticket scalping isn't an AI agent story. Organised scalpers have had bots long before AI agents and those bots are faster than an agent that is thinking through its next moves or whatever. Maybe you can use AI to improve anti-detection in code, but bots have been a problem for years already

I reviewed the new Trá Pháidín album for Best Fit. It is stupid good. Batshit good. A boggy mix of post-rock, free jazz, naturalistic ambient. Read here – it's out on Friday www.thelineofbestfit.com/albums/tra-p...
thelineofbestfit.com
Trá Pháidín cultivate a modernist Irish sound that defies easy categorisation
Trá Pháidín aren’t trying to modernise a form rooted in tradition; rather, they are seeking to bricolage something novel.

People all seem convinced this is clearly intentionally such a dogwhistle. Anything's possible, I guess, but, I don't know. This isn't far from schizoposting. Why would they use a K-pop star in a Korean ad for Koreans to do that? You're saying it's wrong to carry shoes in your hand?

Ed Sheeran saying "I choose to use my fame and platform to be a place of safety and sanctuary to maintain diplomacy and keep conversations open" as his way of justifying doing nothing, offering no support and allowing his support act to be silenced... pure cognitive dissonance jesus christ

Do they genuinely believe the bar for why people like music, films, whatever is down to "similarity to what already exists" or a computable personal taste profile? Anyone who spends any time listening to music must baffle them

I've always found the "people will like AI generated media instinctively once self-improving AI figures out exactly what people like and creates volumes of it" argument a real tell for people who are just repeating arguments rather than trying to say something meaningful.

hey, does anyone know what the deal is with the office building in Smithfield where moss is growing through the floor?
a view through an extremely grubby office window reveals a series of floor tiles lit by an LED strip through some sort of alcove in the room. patterns of moss, neither clearly geometric nor random, are coming up through the tiles. the lights are on but nobody's home. the office building appears to contain a sort of event space with tiered seating and a sign that says something like "DISRUPTIVE TECH INNOVATION"

GTA 6 feels less like a game and more some kind of totem for a certain kind of dying gamer identity, that cannot economically or culturally sustain itself anymore. it represents a million different things and seemingly the least important of them is that it is an open world mission based video game

Collison had given $7M to a campaign to stop a one off wealth tax on billionaires. He's still miles behind Sergey Brin ($82M), but what a massive and continued disappointment these guys are. www.irishtimes.com/politics/202...

Irish entrepreneur Patrick Collison donated $7m to group opposing California wealth tax
Building a Better California opposes proposal that would require California’s billionaire residents to pay a one-off tax on their assets

I've been thinking way too much about this since that comment and like... I just don't know if I believe the "rough sketches" thing either? Like I just have a hard time believing someone would do two near identical objects in such weirdly different styles?
AI generated cartoon render of a pair of Scampi Fries and Bacon fries. One bag has a smiley face and a different design from a regular bag while the other has no face and looks more like a legit bag. One reads "Bacon Flavor Fries" in an American spelling and a slab font, the other "Scampi Fries" in an arched serif Actual packaging for Bacon Fries and Scampi Fries for comparison.
