I wrote some words on why some AI slop might actually be good. Of course, this revelation came to me after I fell into a TikTok rabbit hole so keep that lil fact in mind. aiforhumans.beehiiv.com/p/maybe-ai-s...

Maybe AI Slop Is Actually Good?

It pollutes our social feeds but viral AI Slop is training a new generation on how to tell compelling stories with AI tools

what do i want to get out of this? well, my main business now surrounds the worlds of AI + content (speaking, podcasts, consulting) so prob that should come across clearly but also I've done A LOT of stuff and i'm not the best at self promotion so maybe some help on that?

Gavin Purcell @gavinpurcell.bsky.social · 13/01/2025

i'm not entirely sure what a personal website even means in 2025 what i'm asking for here are your thoughts on what SHOULD go on here, what sort of things you or people looking for people like me would want i'm open to all of it - tone, design, content etc

Gavin Purcell @gavinpurcell.bsky.social · 13/01/2025

Feeling deeply for a lot of people we know personally who lost their houses yesterday. It's insane to see how many homes are just gone. But whomever just sent out that alert to everyone in the entire city of LA... good lord. My Mom called me as the alert was going off still.

the drone story feels like the first real post-truth mainstream news story what I mean is that it feels like there is no truth that everyone will be satisfied by and it reaches across all different contingencies

one of the most special things about attending an nfl game in person is that if the home team wins, they open up all the exits and let all the fans go home. nothing like sleeping in your own bed

So my favorite five games of the last five years are Stardew Valley, Disco Elysium, Slay The Spire, Baldur’s Gate 3 & Balatro. This prob says more about me than the games industry but… It also says something about the games industry.

I'm rewatching the first season of Altered Carbon in chunks (at the gym) and I kind of would like someone to re-make this... First season was *mostly* good, second season really lost its way and this entire world deserves more. i know this will never happen but look i just say things
