I’m going to make an AI prediction - the larger companies will go bankrupt, but people will end up running smaller models locally. This will shift the discourse entirely from resource use to copyright and security issues. So a slight improvement. Might be too late when it actually happens though.

I recently ended a close friendship with someone I have known for over 15 years. The break has been building for a while, maybe even from the start. In the past I have had a toxic tendency of befriending difficult people, simply for the challenge of it. I am a difficult person myself, after all.

In a month or so I am attending a show with a young (teens-30s), queer crowd where I will be among the oldest. In the main, they are likely to be dressed brightly, in Y2K-style fits (as is the fashion of the day). WTF should I wear?

It is so PAINFUL seeing the New Zealand Labour Party bending over backwards SO HARD to win the centre that they have completely abandoned their base. The centre has no reason to choose them over those who are already in power, either. The same pathetic scenario playing out the world over.

I was discussing how I consumed media as a kid yesterday, and a solid 99% of the TV shows I watched the WHOLE of MULTIPLE times come from the fact that it was either a) watch them or b) stare into the middle distance for extended periods. Life pre-internet was really boring.

You know what I am thoroughly, up to the eyeballs, sick of? Redemption-arc dudes in positions of leadership. The public isn't Jesus, you can't just humbly ask forgiveness and be redeemed instantly. Take a fucking breath. Take several decades of breaths before even CONSIDERING leadership.

A random comment I saw that felt very true. We are very good at talking about community, but kind of shit at being IN community with each other. I don't believe in a utopian leftist future, we're all humans and we all kind of suck.
Leftists fantasize about the ideal community the same way the right fantasizes about the traditional family
