an AI agent can't ever do what i do, which is enjoy the process of creative work. generative systems may be able to make images and sounds but they won't ever be able to create the photos and songs that i can. software won't ever be alive the way i am. the computer will never replace me

writing a rationalist fanfic about 'who framed roger rabbit?' but it's a series of spreadsheets and charts explaining the economic benefits of a freeway system and justifying the wholesale destruction of toontown

I know I've been fooled in the past but I'm certain the next big thing in tech is a key chain with a screen and camera on it that allows you to verbally ask an animated creature questions in public. I cannot wait to give mine all my personal and financial information

it's crazy how much just taking pictures all the time makes you better at taking pictures? i've gone through the first 2 months of pictures from my new camera and it's like looking at someone else's work. also i didn't start shooting RAW until after the first month so i want to yell at them. oh well

i would imagine there's a type of photographer who hates fake film grain but the thing is: i don't care. fujifilm's grain effect is good and i like the texture. lately i'm shooting high ISO, turning down noise reduction to -4, AND adding strong+small grain lol

made an account on Cool Instagram (glass.photo), stuck trying to decide how much of my previous work to upload & how to organize it. i get so anxious about curation! it's kind of like how when i made a letterboxd account, i got overwhelmed trying to remember every movie i ever saw and gave up lol

what i miss most about smoking weed is not having dreams—mine are exhausting. last night, i was running barefoot through a home depot & building a lair underneath it to hide from my dad, who was trying to recruit me in a plot to steal rare earth minerals from chinese businessmen. who needs all that

while i was cooking some bacon, the grease popped and it hit my arm. i didn't tell the bacon to do that—it popped of its own volition. pork has gone rogue...

i listened to Choosin' Texas the other day to see what the fuss was about. cowboy gun to my head, i couldn't hum you a bar. i remember the phrase "he's Choosin' Texas I can tell" but the melody has evaporated. it was so slick that it slid off my brain. it went down too smooth. slop is more memorable
