Seeing it in an AI ad is ruining my day, ngl. If you like it, buy one from me - link in bio. I actually give money to queer mutual aid and medical care groups. 3735311894

David Glover-Aoki @davidga.me · 09/08/2026I had to chat to an AI customer support robot today and it was a revelation. It listened to me, understood what I said, and made intelligent leaps instead of just reading the next question in the script. Mostly this reveals that human intelligence is a very low bar. 000
David Glover-Aoki @davidga.me · 08/08/2026You're getting old when famous people from your childhood start dying, but William Orbit was famous when I was 19. This really sucks. Famous for other things but I will remember him for "Pieces in a Modern Style", much derided at the time but I have always loved.

David Glover-Aoki @davidga.me · 06/08/2026Dear BBC. (Is @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social the only BBC Bluesky account?) I'm begging you to hire a copyeditor. I promise you that they don't have to have gone to STANFORD. (Only one "D".) Since you clearly don't have one, anyone who knows how to use a spell check would be a cheap start. 000
David Glover-Aoki @davidga.me · 05/08/2026I think it's very interesting how games now say they are available for "Steam" instead of "PC". 000

David Glover-Aoki @davidga.me · 11/07/2026I guess I'm one of those guys who loves automatic planning and believes they are mandatory for EV adoption. But I can also understand why some people would want full control. Can I not believe both? I feel like both is fine. 000

David Glover-Aoki @davidga.me · 08/07/2026Is "Freely" not the modern equivalent of this? Not really a huge fan of how locked down all these new platforms are. How many people today could record a show from the TV if they wanted to? Also not a fan of absolutely everything in life now requiring internet access. 030
