Hard not to get a bit frustrated at a certain tool/blog post going round justifying using the plagiarism tool because it's "part of your job". I turned down interviews and recruiters for companies doing web3/NFT/AI/other shite while job hunting a few times. You have other options.

KIM KITSURAGI - “You need to get your shit together.” YOU - “But I don't wanna get my shit together!” KIM KITSURAGI - “Then the world will turn away from you, and leave you behind.”

Bravely, I believe that significant numbers of people thinking that computers are coming to life should be treated as a massive problem

Getting scoped tomorrow and people will not stop ringing the doorbell. Come back next week PLEASE

it is baffling to me that for 15-20 years we have known that authenticity sells and now everyone including small video creators are farming out their production process to the generic-ass-robot-output production machine just absolutely self defeating nonsense behavior

It's funny how if you never touch the stuff it just looks like bullshit on your periphery that other people are getting needlessly sucked up into. From their perspective you're as completely dependent on it as them and just can't admit it yet

Lol at that blog claiming to justify vibe coding in acknowledgment of the ethical concerns where the former is "but I really felt like it" and the latter is "people will yell at me". Go ask Claude what special pleading is

Yeah just found out the Pharmacist gave me filled syringes after having done a supervised first injection with a pen. This is happening pretty frequently, Pharmacist will just *do something else* or argue about why you're getting this. Because I have a prescription you herbalist weirdo

Germans are always asking me if I'm happy to be in a country with an efficient healthcare system after living with the NHS. Bro you do not have a healthcare system. I miss the NHS so much lmao

When you get two cats, how do they decide which one will have a tiny chirp like a pixie’s doorbell and which one will wail like the ghost of a jilted bride?

recent work and rework

The important thing is that Rod went to his grave brimming with unbelievable arrogance in his own visceral bigotry and immediately had an army of public figures rally to protect his reputation; thus proving that collegial esteem transcends our differences and makes us all better

I occasionally have to remind myself that people can be much more hostile about aesthetic differences than things that actually matter. Probably me too, I assume in ways I'm rationalising until I catch myself in the act. But it's silly anyway.

This is Massive Attack's response to what happened in Singapore, posted on their Instagram page. Good on them.

Massive Attack has been banned from Singapore after they held up a Palestinian flag during their concert here last week. www.bbc.com/news/article...

69 BILLION TOKENS LOL

Dan Johnson will design games for food@coil.bsky.social · yesterday

"But my Wyvern development has been burning the equivalent of $87k/month of API token burn, or about 69 billion tokens in July... in reality I'm only spending about $2800/month out of pocket." What's Wyvern, you ask? See image #2. $87k/month.

Testing this coffee grind for flavour my priming my palate with an excessive quantity of the particular chilli powder that we've had for years because even a small amount causes me to pour sweat

Reading your posts

Trying to think when will be a good time to start gaming around Toddler. I stopped when it became obvious that it was grabbing his attention, but I'd like it to eventually be something we do together, if he wants that. Whenever we can have coherent conversations about the concepts involved, maybe.

Videogames should have a pause feature yes but I don't understand why the go-to example is that your small child might need attention. People are playing videogames while supervising their kids and product design should facilitate this, am I reading that correctly

"It certainly wasn't designed to attract one specific group of people" is a sublime statement of intent for a process inevitably destined to produce a vibecoded treehouse for Hitlerite pedophiles

Bluesky's new CEO Toni Schneider on the platform's reputation for being a liberal bubble: "Yes, we definitely want that to change. It is already changing. It certainly wasn’t designed to attract one specific group of people."

A brief lifetime of these, alongside pick-me freelancers on the various WFH sites who'd go to lengths to publicly validate this behaviour and undercut their peers for their benefit and I'm betting that 100% of them are on the AI train now too

This is the person that pre-AI bs would ask you for thousand sketches, you provide, they come back "disgruntled" that its not like they want it, then they refuse to pay. That was pretty much the story I had with a client in 2015 or so. I'm sure many of you have had similar "hell" clients.

I have a dinner engagement tonight. I need the spoon to swoop into my mouth like an aeroplane and go "nnnnneeeooowwwww".

"I'm entitled to whatever I want whenever I want it for any reason and I don't care what satisfying these urges does to me or the world" well okay dude, seems like there's something deeper going on here, but that's just my take
