Growing older is a lot about realizing the two main things you're going to learn about are ignorance and mortality.

Ended up rewatching the entire thing, what an amazing movie, how most of it exists in as is about this place outside of time, makes me want to also move to a house by a perennially empty beach while willfully ignoring the fact that the world is going up in flames.

HR gathered a bunch of feedback about AI writing and wrote a policy document by pointing AI at the pile of feedback and saying "turn this into a policy pls" and it's the slop you would expect and I am so tired of this bullshit.

Being on a shitty to non-existent internet connection for nearly two weeks has given me a massive appreciation to the concept of having files on your computer.

I hear you, I pushed out a few albums with a baby in the house and burned myself out on it so thoroughly I'm only now getting back into it at a glacial pace. It's not a race and I'll be happy to hear whatever you put out whenever it happens!

Not caring about shit is the best. Absolutely care about shit, but try to care for the shit that really matters, ideally shit you can do shit about. If your only exposure to shit is the internet maybe that shit ain't for you.

Listened to American Idiot for the first time in years, is there a more effective time capsule back to thag point in time? Maybe Battlestar Galactica. Also this is kinda like what Jeff Rosenstock does nowadays but he does it better? What a ridiculous, sometimes breathtaking collection of songs.

Lunistice has got me so completely, it even has me going after S ranks in a way no Sonic game ever did. Some combination of the aesthetics, absolutely perfect controls, music and being just the right size of game. Totally in love with it.

Manifesting that the ultimate outcome of "AI art on food menus" is worldwide adoption of displaying plastic replicas of dishes in restaurant windows.

Spreading gAI created misinformation is bad even when it's stuff you might like. Check your goddamn sources and if you share some gAI shit by accident - delete the post.

This, you can rationalize it as "this makes me feel more feminine because it's clearly feminine coded" and maybe that's why it feels good but at some point the distinction ceases to matter in the face of the fact that it keeps the dysphoric worms away and reinforces your identity.

THE END OF OAK STREET out there proving you can make a great Spielberg homage dinosaur genre flick in 2026, makes one wonder how the Jurassic World franchise has been so completely fumbling it for 10+ years.

Oh, so just engagement farming and/or trolling, god, if only it wasn't proven beyond any doubt that negative sentiments are the easiest to exploit. Fell for it too FWIW. Just makes me want to ignore anything created from 2022 to whenever the bubble bursts, assuming it will.

Alice @e6e6fa.bsky.social · 23/08/2026
Yeah same, it encourages falling back on known creators (tho even then someone might always fall down the rabbit hole) or old material, which, nothing wrong with either but it'a a kind of loss.

I wonder if there's an entire generation of art that'll be tainted by the simple fact that it existed in a time where AI usage was rampant. Like was this movie shit because of AI? Did that author use AI or was that just really their style?

Imagine the relief, like wow finally a URL we can bookmark and send in every EPK to prove that it's all OK, jfc. The worst part is people will use this and other similar statements to justify their enjoyment of the thing without guilt.

"It's AAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa", screams Yves Guillemot as he falls into the bottomless pit. If he had a point to make, only the unnameable horrors that call home that place will hear it. They might consider his point before they tear into his flesh.

There needs to be a word for the sense of dread, anger and pain that comes out of having to spend time considering a coworker's AI slop document or spreadsheet. The day can't come soon enough when you can just say "yeah come back to me when you've got something real".

For real, that not every console has a game that just plays if you boot it without a cartridge is a shame. And it's a great game too!
