Oh! Anyhow, the Pal nomenclature feels eerily grounded and familiar. It seems to me imperialist forces in similar settings end up being as portrayed as one-dimensional caricatures and a lot of it has to do with naming convention (“Are we the baddies?”).

Couldn’t quite figure out why the Statlos title in “The City of Last Chances” sounded so familiar, until I realised it’s an anadrome of sorts. Well played, @aptshadow.bsky.social! 👏

When Culture Becomes “Content”
Can art still illuminate reality in an age of monetized attention, generative AI, and culture produced at limitless scale?

Watched "TraumaZone" (2022) by Adam Curtis for the second time. As much an expressive slice of life collage as it is a found footage horror film.
A single frame from "Russia 1985–1999: TraumaZone" by Adam Curtis depicting a small girl holding a toy revolver. The subtitles read "Everything's for sale!"

Recent observation: The people most infatuated with AI as a means of creative output are the ones unable (or unwilling) to engage with anything beyond the surface level.

As many people before me have said – the end result of any creative endeavor is a by-product. The process itself is why we do it, no matter how much we might seemingly suffer.

When considering the whole initial licensing saga of Tetris, it's actually really funny how such an innocent and seemingly apolitical game can get intertwined with global politics.

DOOM '98 Imagined what if id Software released an additional entry in the Doom series in 1998, using a technological mix between id Tech 2 and GoldSrc engine. Going for the blend of fantastical and grounded, which would be in vein of Half-Life and System Shock 2.

The Tetris clone here lacks any means of clearing completed lines as it's about "building the wall". This bug/mechanic immediately reminded of the @pippinbarr.bsky.social "Art Game", in which the failed state of a classic Tetris game is (brilliantly!) presented as a modernist sculpture.

Funny how it’s “training”, not “teaching” when talking about providing the AI models with initial data. Like training a circus animal to do funny tricks. 🤡
