Mobile cameras have come a long way and are rather impressive. That said, physics has its limits, and software can only do so much without ‘inventing’ detail when there’s none. Shot on iPhone and venerable Sony A7III.

I don't enjoy making financial content, but the lack of mainstream media coverage about this is upsetting. If you can handle even more outrage, look up the new float and 3x multiplier rules applying to index funds and SpaceX, as there's no way I could explain that adeptly in a 3 minute reel.

If a monkey hoarded more bananas than it could eat, while most of the other monkeys starved, scientists would study that monkey to figure out what was wrong with it. When humans do it, we put them on the cover of Forbes.

NEW — My first true foray into AI haterdom is about how those of us not convinced by AI’s inevitability are a real constituency worthy of a voice. Give it a read:

Hating AI is good, actually
LinkedIn may be awash with boosters, but shunning AI is the human choice.

Alex here has a great perspective on the looming AI issues in game dev, art work, and why the human art/programmer/playet connection is one of the most important things that this AI trash is actively seeking to replace. Read this!

This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1,200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.

Every time he says something like this, I'm reminded of both "He's the stupid person's idea of a smart person" and this post:
"He talked about electric cars. I don't know anything about cars, so when people said he was a genius I figured he must be a genius.

Then he talked about rockets. I don't know anything about rockets, so when people said he was a genius I figured he must be a genius.

Now he talks about software. I happen to know a lot about software & Elon Musk is saying the stupidest shit I've ever heard anyone say, so when people say he's a genius I figure I should stay the hell away from his cars and rockets."

if someone can come up with working adversarial garment that fucks with smart glasses, to almost any extent, I will not only buy it myself but promote it religiously ideally something that does lasting damage, but even compromising certain functions is better than nothing who is working on this??

AI concept art is a bad idea. The concept phase of a project isn't just about farting out images and pointing to what looks pretty; it informs direction and avenues of further research. It is where the overarching style of a project is hammered out. Where MEANING is defined.

There's hardly a meaningful distinction between ICE and the Gestapo at this point and we might as well confront that. No reforming an institution which became the gestapo. It must be destroyed.

Microsoft is thought to have lost upwards of $20 billion on Copilot by the end of 2024, and committed to spending $80 billion on AI in 2025. Take a wild guess what is recommended as an emotional support mechanism to the 9,100 employees they can no longer afford to keep.
