Whenever my computer starts freezing and I just hold the power button until it turns off, I feel like I'm holding someone's head underwater and watching them drown.

Trying to pitch the positives of AI right now is like dumping manure over people's heads and then saying "well, it's actually really useful in agriculture." It's not that that's incorrect, but nobody's in the mood.

ok my new lock screen is doing a great job at pointing out my behavioral contradictions

a phone screen with the “when I choose to see the good side of things, I’m not being naive” scene from Everyone Everywhere All At Once. on top of it is a bluesky push notification informing the user that someone has liked a post they made reading “Silicon Valley ghoul voice: we’ve raised 12.2 million from a16z to disrupt the lathe of heaven”

Several weeks ago, Phil Tippett's legendary animation studio in Berkeley, CA closed. An anonymous hero noticed a folder of CDs. This turned out to be hundreds of unseen hi-res images and videos from Star Wars, Robocop, Jurassic Park, etc. ~90 isos for you to browse: archive.org/details/tipp...

A casual Star Wars alien fella at the cantina, in a sun faded, reddish photo. Someone will be mad at me for not knowing who this is.

Phil, a balding caucasian man, points at some CG on a CRT computer monitor, as a younger man looks on. The screen shows a model of a dinosaur attacking a jeep, while there's an actual physical model of that event in the foreground for reference.

Capitalism seeks to alienate the worker from everything it possibly can, and now that's going to include actual popular culture. Individualized AI media is going to remove the actual purpose of culture, which is established common experiences and interpersonal communication.

What does it mean for the probability to be five percent? Well, that’s five percent. But six percent? Well, that’s still five percent. Four percent is also kind of five percent. Three percent is two percent. And two percent is basically impossible.

Someone was talking about PAC being stoic at meet & greets on Twitter, so it reminded me of this anecdote.

Small child in red flannel and blue jeans standing next to PAC with long hair, wearing black AEW hoodie and shorts. Both are wearing facemasks.

Nolie met PAC at a Dynamite, when AEW was still doing preshow meet and greets.

They both looked each other up and down. Then PAC stoically says “How is your day, little child?”.

When it was picture time, he plainly said “Stand with me in battle” to Nolie.

It was perfect.

Hey, y'all. "Innocent until proven guilty" is a term intended for the court system, where a defendant isn't guilty 'til a trial finds them to be so. It doesn't mean that you don't use your own fucking common sense & good judgment to stay away from bad people. You're not imprisoning them. Thanks.
