I wished for @jamesstout.bsky.social to make a podcast about nature to soothe my soul. I got a podcast that made it ache. I will still keep listening to it, because the prose is beautiful and the themes are profound and interesting, but man, I still long for that soothing.

I mean, if they are trying to end humanity it seems like a reasonable reaction. If they are trying to hoodwink us all and steal all the money and kill thousands by exploding the economy, well, it's only slightly less reasonable.

This sent me down a massive historical rabbit hole, but, long story short: it's called Romania because there were once Romans there.

current feelings around AI: the CEOs shoveling slop into everything should be in jail but the guys spending upwards of $60,000 on elaborate, janky home rigs to run local models for no reason other than to see if it works are engaging in a long and semi-honorable tradition of computer toucher shit
