I was on an unemployment-adjacent program where you had to work 40 hours a week to get your benefits. Took Christmas Day off (for the family), which invalidated the payment for the week because it came up a few hours under... 🫠

Dumbo Pink Elephants on Parade

You can't really jump straight into the deep end of knowing anything unless you've earned the experience either directly or through abstract means.

Experience develops intuition. It's only after you've come to understand the soul of the work that you know which parts of convention are critical and which parts are just common expressions.

It also helps that it now costs at least $100 every time you "go outside." 🫠 Pre-pandemic, it would have been $30.

Itō Jakuchū's 'Frog' of 1790 for me is the iconic image of numbed uncomfortable bafflement at the predicament of existence in the coming modern world, much as Munch's 'Scream' expressed it through horror.

Honestly, it wouldn't surprise me if this spurs more investment in pain management for AI before re-evaluating giving women more than a couple of Tylenol for medical procedures...

Though, to the best of my knowledge, nobody has made an AI that has to go to the bathroom. So the doll still wins.

When the world is run by people who have never actually had to experience reality, first hand: It wouldn't surprise me if their own experiences with pain were just as limited as a "software mimicking the language of a human behavior."

Shareholders got bored of "line go up," and the new jangly keys that get their attention became "layoffs go up." And then some (psychopath) figured they could get infinite layoffs from a finite number of employees by recycling their layoffs. 🫠

In 4 years, we're going to get a tell-all about the toxic nepo team shit that's about to happen when a COD director gets to put together a "special team" to work on Halo", out of all the people that have been grinding away on COD for the last 20 years.

I'm pretty sure Darwin could have studied The Scalper and The Landlord instead of the Galápagos Finch and arrived at the same conclusion.

Both of those stories are wonderful, but I'm also really digging that your husband is (intentionally/unintentionally?) screening your fans with the shirts. 😆

The thing that would fix all of this is to recategorize game developers and software engineers as non-exempt employees. Once you're legally required to start paying 1.5-2x an employee's rates for excessive hours, you lose the incentive to force your staff to endlessly crunch.

The huge profits part has more nuance. The publisher will cite the game for bringing in huge profits in their shareholders meeting, and then shut down the studio, claiming the same game was a financial flop.

This, the pre-corrected AI phrasing right here, is why everyone calls him "Android Wilson" after every bizarro town hall speech.
Screenshot from the article with text that reads: "They were playing me back some of my AI voice, and they're playing it like, 'Score! And the crowd gets out of their chairs!'" he said. "I was like, no, they're not chairs. I know, AI, they look like a chair, but we call them seats. Little things like that, you gotta go back and listen because those words matter in sports."

Billionaires have this weird fetish for actualizing The End Of Humanity, and being one of the select few that are immune to "the end" due to the size of their bank accounts. That comment directly speaks to hyping the 1%-er freaks.

This BS, right here. If someone is breaking up with you over a mechanic in a game that HASN'T EVEN BEEN RELEASED YET... It was never actually about the game in the first place. But I guess we'll promote the ancient misogynistic idea that women are incompatible with video games while we can. 🙄
Screenshot of several video gaming blogs with various headlines alluding to GTA 6's relationship mechanics causing real world accusations of "cheating" and break-ups.
The game had not been released at the time of these articles being posted.

I'm from Jersey... 🤣 But to be fair, we have like three completely different dialects in NJ depending on whether you're northern, southern, or "central" (Philly influence). I'm surprised it placed me on the opposite side of the country though.

If you are somewhere in the Venn diagram of industrial music nerd and graphic design nerd, you might be interested in this book project on Kickstarter. They interviewed me a while back for it so it will apparently include some of my work and commentary. Looking forward to it!

I made a new t-shirt about the only unskilled labor that should be replaced with a chatbot. In my shop now in a variety of styles at robsheridan.threadless.com/collections/...
"Replace CEOs with A.I." original t-shirt design from Glitch Goods by Rob Sheridan. A man in a business suit whose head is a Frankenstein box of computer parts. He is pointing to a line going up.
Text:
REPLACE CEOS
WITH A.I.
WHY IT MATTERS:
Reduce Costs by
Automating
UnshilledLabor!
- UNEARNED CONFIDENCE
- JUST MAKES SHIT UP
- STEALS YOUR WORK
- HAS NO SOUL
JUST LIKE THE REAL THING!

I'm not going to pull any "pick-me-girl" nonsense to appease alt-right trolls, and I'm also not going to give them the satisfaction of getting upset at their horseshit. You try to catch my eye, and you're going to get that script flipped so hard back on you that you'll regret playing stupid games.
