Just learned that diners were designed and named after the dining car on trains and this never occurred to me despite some of them literally being train cars and being named “this is a pretend train you are eating in”

in a porn parody of toy story, probably called "sex toy story" (not a surprising title) you wouldn't have to rename woody or buzz. but that's not a reason to make it

i’m sorry but farming is cheating. you didn’t scavenge those cucumbers, you grew them in your field on purpose and “found” them later. and that’s bullshit

took one (1) Alleve today and ended up spending 6 hrs in the ER with anaphylaxis, and then they asked me if it was a suicide attempt lmfao

I've improved the alphabet by grouping letters by type First, leader types (A, M, S) Then the book club letters (B, N, O, L, W) Then theatre kid letters (C, E, I, J, T) Then the sci fi letters (K, P, R, V) Then the goth letters (F, Q, X, Y, Z) Lastly, the admin/logistics letters (D, G, H, U)

The Overton window keeps sliding.

JOKER: Not so fast, Bat-JERK! My LAUGHBangs will leave you BLIND as a BAT! BLUESKY BATMAN: Oof. Many people suffer from reduced vision. Not funny. JOKER: It's like, it's a pun. It's just wordplay. BLUESKY BATMAN: Sorry if I'm not in the mood for "jokes" while SCOTUS shreds our constitutional rights

The machine just fucking butchers informed consent and leaks PII in a way that would instantly get *you* fired, but it ends up getting your research budget instead.

Generative AI is not only fundamentally based on the rejection of consent, but also *standards*. Artists have been micromanaged and hounded over individual pixels, academics fighting to defend every minute detail of their thesis, etc, and then are tossed away in favor of the get shit wrong machine.

People, in every field, are watching their careers get burned into ash in favor of a machine that is *allowed* to make vastly bigger mistakes than they would ever be allowed to. The machine can't even get the company's name right, but *you* are hounded over the color of a single pixel, etc.

Babe wake up, new industrial band five-album discography just dropped

i don't love the morning time

God damn they should write promo copy like this for albums again

When AI boosters say "oh this is democratizing access to the arts" they don't mean it's democratizing the ability to make art but rather that they think it's allowing people with no particular skill to create pictures they'll get social media likes for.

they say that autistic people love rules and, this might be controversial to say but I think that's actually just bullshit I think what makes us different is this: we know that you are making shit up and we know you want us all dead so, what motivation is there, for us to follow your rules at all

Happy Father's Day! Here's some art from a vasectomy brochure.

I think perhaps the most important thing to teach neurodivergent kids might be the fact that some people will lie and be cruel to gain advantage or just for fun, and how to both not get taken in by that and also keep themselves and be open in spite of it.

Detail of "Déracinement". "The City began to crumble on itself. Thousands upon thousands of helpless people tried their best to flee, but so many more didn't. Some by choice, but most didn't have the luxury to make it, that choice. It was tragic, simply tragic" sylfvr.art

Current* conditions near Port Dover, ON:

I can't stress this enough, you need to decide who your game is NOT for even more than you need to figure out who it IS for. Figure out who the person is that you want to be REPELLED from your game. Who shouldn't even look at it? Love is hard to quantify, hate is easier.

More words for students: The administrators who push "A.i." on you are your enemies. They do not care about your education, about your minds, about your actual abilities. They serve only money. Treat them with utter contempt. Do the actual work. Learn all you can in spite of them.

At the end of the term I asked my college creative wriing students to submit anonymous thoughts on AI. No real surprises: Mood ranges from resignation to despair, capitulation from embittered erosion of standards to total, feelings of betrayal from deep to furious. 1/

this mf mixed up the 3 Supreme Delights with the 5 Serene Delights! 🤭

I'm a history of ideas nerd, and a few years ago I gave a public lecture on the common link between "disclosure" (the aliens are here!) and the "singularity" (we will merge with machines!) I had a hunch there was some underlying connection, so I did a bit of research, and oh boy... 🧵

This was a new type of fundamentalism: the belief that only science or ‘scientific methods’ are appropriate for understanding ourselves and the world. As it turns out, this is the common link between the 'secular heaven' dreamed of by adherents of disclosure or the singularity.

I want to stop...

I wish cartoon logic was real so I could print out the "Noel Goes to Hooters" arc, stitch it together & then jam it in my friends heads - in one ear and out the other - then yank on it like it's a lawnmower starter and have my friends be subjected to its beauty as it flashes before their eyes

Please Use AI

No one asked but this is the AI-related poem I think about quite a bit

The computer lost the mandate of heaven when the humble, helpful "program" was replaced with the insidious "app"

grabbing every small business owner I can find by the shoulders and yelling directly into their faces that IF I DON'T HAVE AN INSTAGRAM ACCOUNT I CAN'T SEE ANY OF YOUR SHIT GET A FUCKING WEBSITE
