Using an LLM to write a webpage that looks like a 90s HTML1 page is the weirdest asthetic politic I can possibly imagine.

💙Meteion💙
A blue girl, with feathered wings on her head, bird legs and long feathery tail sits in a field of white glowing flowers, looking solemnly upwards. Seemingly unsure of how to feel. the sky is a bright wash of starlight and blue, beaming down to colour her hair and head the same blue, though she fades into greyscale from her waist down. Petals from the flowers float around her in the sky, and text is written. "These Elpis blooms serve as proof, that this realm is not so utterly devoid of hope."

OH. right! i get it now!

i get why AI is so depressing to me. because covid already shrunk my world to almost nothing, where almost all of my life revolves around socializing and watching videos on the internet (which is being ruined by AI) and creating creative works through coding (which is being ruined by AI), often using open source tools and libraries (which are being ruined by AI)

i already had so little and now even that is being rotted away before my eyes

After more consideration, I don’t know if camp miasma is more insightful then just like, a trans reading of CHVRCHES “Final Girl” like at least the trans reading is much more intentional in camp miasma (although i wonder how many cis reviewers have had to learn about autogynophilia because of this)

Omarchy should not matter. But sadly it does. As a power grab. If you don’t know what Omarchy is here’s the short summary.

I finally watched camp miasma, and I think I again made the mistake of watching a Jane Schoenbrunn film with a cis person. Especially as someone who might have connected a little too much with Kris’s character. Maybe I should get into horror films.

Lot of issues here but one part that sticks out in light of the almost-attacked-a-Chinese-ship story today: people with very important jobs where lives are at stake have bought the hype and outsourced their whole brains to AI. We're going to see more and more of this. www.cnn.com/2026/09/18/p...
In the past year, the Defense Department has rapidly made Maven a cornerstone of the US military apparatus. Several former senior US military officials now work for Palantir, including some with high-level security clearances in Centcom’s Tampa headquarters. Their role is to keep the software functioning inside secure military environments. Some Centcom personnel expected Maven to flag stale information or inconsistencies in the underlying intelligence assembled for potential targets, the officials said. It’s not clear why they had such expectations.
The intelligence report, circulated across the US military this spring in the midst of the war with Iran, immediately set off alarm bells: A Chinese ship in the Middle East was transporting components of a nuclear weapons program.

The US military swung into action with plans to intercept the vessel, according to four sources familiar with the episode. According to two of the sources, armed members of the US military were preparing to board the ship. Military planes were in the air, one of those sources and another source familiar with the incident said.

It was only just before the planned operation that officials dug deeper into the report put together by a special operations command analyst and found it had been generated with the help of artificial intelligence (AI) — and that a chatbot the analyst had used inaccurately identified the material the ship was carrying. CNN was not able to learn what the misidentified cargo was.

But speaking of staying in one's lane, can we PLEASE switch the default position from "It's fine to use 'AI' for this thing I'm not an expert in" to "Yeah, I'd be really skeptical of any use cases and need to see strong evidence that it's okay, but I'm not the one who can produce that evidence"?
