The Dancesport championship that I sponsor is on this weekend ^_^. Program with my ad printed and, what’s this? I’m also the sponsor of the main event? Why yes, yes I am. No one can say I don’t give back to my sport <3

Apropos of nothing but I interviewed Kogan once, way back, and came away from the interview thinking that he was a massive dickhead.

AI bros hate art, because they don’t understand it at all. That loathing for something that confuses and frightens them directly leads them to embrace any tool that undermines art and harms artists. These people are fascists. I’m not joking about that. Their ideology comes from the same place.

Wanting tens of thousands of people to lose their jobs and financially struggle because you think it will result in better toys isn't "a bit evil". It's extremely evil. Especially since it's your fault you don't see "creativity" in games. Stop playing AAA trash and play some damn indie games.

This is not a healthy industry and no AI company even has a pathway to profitability. Anthropic wants to IPO so it can use that investor money to lengthen the runway, but the crash when it finally burns through all its cash and STILL isn't profitable is going to be catastrophic.

World Junior Dancesport Champions from... last weekend I think. Holy crap, these two dance with such maturity and precision.

I am so glad that I’m at the point in my career where I don’t need to interview for work because I swear all these rules over coffee cups and decorum would do my head in.

Daily bunny no.3453 is looking back

Bunnies sit at a table outside a cafe, called the Luna Cafe. It is on the surface of the moon, looking at a distant planet earth. They sip from mugs while a third bunny watches from a second floor balcony.

This is genuinely great, for two reasons: 1) it helps people experience opera, perhaps for the first time ever, and 2) it supports the opera, which is an art form that has truly struggled.

If the company heads were held criminally liable for their machines doing criminal things, the development of AI would suddenly become far more responsible. Literally overnight this libertarian "better to ask forgiveness than permission" bullshit attitude would disappear.

Here are some of the first revealed images of Final Fantasy Origins of Light! I’ve been working on this game for almost 2 years. Play through FF1-3 in 3 different campaigns customizing a team of heroes! Coming to Kickstarter October 20th! Extremely excited to show off more! #finalfantasy #ffool

Whenever I drink I end up setting up a cracking good playlist of 80s dance music, throwing on headphones, and silent disco-ing my way to like 4am the next morning lol. Tonight’s playlist starts with. music.apple.com/au/album/don...

Beef inflation is currently at 150% for Iranians right now. Weird how Americans don’t care about that.

Thursday cocktails! Coconut Margherita and Yuzu Elderflower. Good drinks.

That's nothing. You want to see what extreme tailoring skill is you should look at what neck and shoulderline a Dancesport tails suit needs to maintain. It's a crazy amount of work with a tailor to get this perfect lol. Horrible, expensive experience <_<

Final Fantasy X wasn’t subtle about being an allegory for state-sponsored religious fervour (Yevon/Shinto) resulting in nuclear bombs (Sin) being dropped on them. But why would a Japanese company make Japanese games about Japanese stories. That’s crazy talk. America is the centre of the universe.

Name one almost universally derided film that you would unironically and sincerely stand by as a great work of art. I’ll start. Queen of the Damned. I actually disliked this film back when it was new because I was looking for a horror film. Now of course I realise it’s not that and also it’s great

I can't open Facebook without having AI generated backsides in G-strings right now but yeah sure, go off about a theatre putting on a feminist play, Meta. Techbro fascism and its hatred of intelligence strikes again.

Halfway through this book. It's really quite spectacular and explains a lot of what's been rolling around in my head, unarticulated, for some time. The tech industry went from liberal, to libertarian, and is now outright fascist. This book explains why: www.simonandschuster.com.au/books/The-Ne...

Found the money to publish a Kojima game for PR kicks, but feels no obligation or ethical impetus to protect staff. American capitalism is misanthropic. I know I'm not saying anything that we didn't already know but always worth remembering that the entire system (and culture) loathes people.

LMAO spoiler rules, man. Spoilers. "Don't mention his surname." How the fuck are we meant to write serious artistic criticism if we can't even engage with the most basic parts of the narrative.

I wondered why I have drunk a lot of water (and beer) today and feel so sweaty still. It’s 30 degrees. Already. Two weeks into Spring. Gonna be a sweltering summer hey. Good weather to be reading a book on the balcony tho.

Reposting this as a reminder to read it. Dancesport has become a big deal across Asia - Japan and China also love it. But it’s not a sport that sits well with conservatives or puritanical types (which is why it has never been overly successful in America), so articles like this are interesting.

I have personally witnessed AI “power users” over the last year lose the capacity to do anything that doesn’t rely on AU doing the thinking for them. It’s really kinda scary.

Dancesport Is Life @mattatddnet.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

It’s amazing that the media pushes so hard to manufacture consent for AI like this, when of all sectors journalism is most directly threatened by it.

Trying an old school-style American burger and shake style restaurant for lunch. This is really good. Exactly my kinda burger.

Well yes I would expect that the director of The Last of Us knows from personal experience what it’s like to make an exhaustingly worthless and boring story.

You don’t “interview” an AI bot. You prompt it. And no one should be surprised that the bot had a hallucination. Because that’s all these fucking things can do.

Just saw a guy wearing a One Nation shirt and I don’t think we fully appreciate just how much these people are the unwashed dregs of society. Anyway. I was with my wife. Dude gave me the dirtiest look. I smirked at him. He probably thinks I’m an elitist now.

Since I'm being screenshotted, let's play ball. "Plot is bullshit" is such reductionist nonsense. Actually study literature, and you'll spend entire semesters studying how Shakespeare or Tolkien or whoever constructs plot. Kubrick's the greatest filmmaker of all time, and that's for his plots.

Australia has always been hostile to the arts. We're an anti-intellectual nation of puritanical rock-digging types. I'm not even for a moment surprised that Labor was so enthusiastic in bending over for Anthropic et al.

Dancesport Is Life @mattatddnet.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

Japanese companies have Labor laws that make it harder to slash and burn after scaling too quickly. The fault here is not businesses, who will always be as shitty as they can get away with, that’s capitalism. The fault here is American economics.
