"AI art is art" - sure Jan. You can't claim ownership on it. This is like saying "That Picasso I own is my physical property, therefore I made the art and deserve the credit for making it." But then also without the "physical possession" aspect.

Celebrating a 75% reductions in naturalizations is quite frankly extremely un-American. If anyone gave a shit, last I remember this was a country of immigrants. Fucking vile administration, they can go fuck themselves.

I love how now the limitation of how fast I can backup things to the cloud isn't my internet speed, its the -throughput of my storage system-.

It is such a shame that cool people (I'm assuming unknowingly) keep showing up for that racist Jesse Petrilla's YouTube channel.

Jesse Petrilla's famous guests on his YouTube channel, such as John Romero, Ron Gilbert, and Dave Grossman, and a few awful things he's done such as putting up an effigy of Bin Laden in front of a mosque, suing to reopen schools during Covid, and putting up a billboard "Sharia Law Threatens America."

PSA: His day job is pandering to the right-wing islamophobia grift. It doesn't matter if "It doesn't come up in his interviews", it's still rattling around inside his brain poisoning everything else he does. Don't work with Jesse Petrilla Don't promote what he's doing Don't make excuses for bigots

Since when did "Model number" become a form of benchmark? Outside of the AI exhibit at the Museum of Meaningless Metrics, of course ... #NoAI

A deluded, AI-pilled user over at That Other Place hilariously fails to read the Y-axis of a graph which plots the version number (vertical axis) of three company's AI models over time (horizontal axis, but without giving a unit of measurement), claiming the "data" is "OpenAI's internal benchmarks".

Stupid use of AI: "Do my job!" Great use of AI: "Can you detect when a response to a ticket is a simple thank you and instead of reopening the ticket, leave the ticket closed?"

AI has turned an entire generation of humans into Pakleds. Access to wondrous technology; No idea what any of it means. Knowledge halted, no growth, regression even. Who needs to know anything when the beep-boop-box can just do the work. People paying a subscription fee to their own knowledge.

The perfect way to put it. They found a way to worm a subscription between you and your normal work.

A screenshot of a post on Threads by Joe Hill. The post reads: "Here’s a thought about the purveyors of AI. They aren’t selling assistance—they’re selling dependency. You give up on acquiring one skill after another, give up on the knotty, meaningful struggle to acquire those skills and AI takes over. It isn’t freeing up time so you can make more of yourself. It’s encouraging cognitive surrender so you can be less."

Facebook really doesn't want you to see the new documentary exposing Elon Musk Neither do TikTok or Google or the eX social media site. Since they won't accept paid advertising, let's do some free advertising. Go see Musk in theaters October 9 www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/dig...

The Major Social Media Platforms Are All Rejecting Paid Ads for Alex Gibney’s ‘Musk’ (Exclusive)

YouTube, TikTok and Meta have all turned down the trailer for the Oct. 9 doc, citing “political” content. X won't even take Bleecker Street's calls. The distributor is appealing.

Silly fact I discovered this evening: the very first film role of the guy who played Gordon on Sesame Street for longer than I've been alive (Roscoe Orman) was that of a pimp. Also: that movie in part inspired Black Dynamite.

I wake up, look at my schedule, see a single one hour meeting and think, "Nice, I'll have time to catch up on the backlog." It's 2 pm and I haven't had a moment to process the notes from that meeting. Haven't even touched the backlog. How's your Friday going? :P

SimCity SA-1 now runs 5.93x faster than the original version. Still not enough for me. I'm rewriting the simulation now with SA-1 native opcodes to get the 10x speed up I promised. Also Japanese support is work in progress.

"You have a broken sleep cycle!" I wake up at 9:00am and fall asleep around 2:00am. That's about seven hours. That's about normal, just offset from day/night. How long I sleep has no effect on the drowsy. On lazy weekends, I can wake up at 2:00pm, and still take a 2 hour nap at 4:00pm.

"Is it low T?" Nope. My testosterone is on the top half of the normal range. I'm "all man", whatever the hell that's supposed to mean. I'm just a very sleepy one.

"Take Vitamins!" 1) I eat plenty of enriched flour products, mixed grain, meat and veg. so I don't really need to. 2) I take one multi-vitamin a week anyway. No effect on the drowsy.

Joe's Computer Museum @museumjoe.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

"Weren't you just yesterday calling a found flask of lukewarm coffee 'mana from heaven'"? Yep. Because I like the taste of coffee. It's yummy. I don't drink it to wake me up, kiddo. I can drink 24 ounces of coffee, then have two Pepsi's with lunch, and still lay down and take a nap for 2 hours.

Joe's Computer Museum @museumjoe.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

"Exercise more!" Sure. That makes me fatigued and I'm still drowsy. So not only I do be sleepy, I do be "can't walk up a flight of stairs for the next half hour" because I just took a one mile walk. I'm just built weird.

Joe's Computer Museum @museumjoe.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

"Energy drinks keep me going!" people say. All they do for me is make my heart and legs move slightly faster. I'm still just as "tired" as before. And by tired, I mean drowsy. Been this way since I was in middle school. Bloodwork is fine. It's not chronic fatigue or FFI. I'm just a sleepy boy.

There's nothing happening on Twitter in 2026 that is the lynchpin of your brand. You might have started there, but the audience you're playing to is one you can survive without. Don't let sunk-cost fallacy trick you. The numbers are gamed anyway. Stop giving that joyless loser money. Leave. Now.
