fm synthesis makes the most interesting snare drums. but most people still use samples of physical membranes because their priorities are so badly sorted

ur gonna have people telling u about "spheres" and "torids" and "cubes" and for now u should just block and move on, its not worth the trouble

every work should come into public domain in, like, 40 years max. It's so depressing seeing 100-year-old sound recordings just now being released from copyright

what do reindeer furries even do for the rest of the year

going on vacation soon so if you are a burglar please help yourself to anything from my house

if anyone needs me im outside in a sopping wet cardboard box in the rain and it’s christmas

joaoms.bandcamp.com/album/everyt... seriously listen to this before you make your end-of-year lists. if you have ever enjoyed 2010s autechre you owe it to yourself

wgwgsa official top albums of 2025: 1) tropical fuck storm - fairyland codex 2) joão ms - everything speaks of itself 3) richard dawson - end of the middle 4) vangas - you left us in the spring 5) baths - gut

for christmas this year I asked for beautiful glittering scales and fearsome talons. like every year. starting to think that guy at the mall doesn't actually relay my lists to the proper authorities

look at this cool AI art i made

the preeminent king of gay canadian experimental glitch rock @wgwgsa.net put out a hard hitter on what exactly landlords deserve. every album of his i keep getting more out of after every listen. not for everyone, but def for the cool people watergunsky.bandcamp.com/album/six-te...

"elf" with will ferrell is horrible. It is excruciating to watch. he is inconveniencing so many people and I get very upset watching it. I think he is rude and insensitive and the fact that he was raised by elves is no excuse

I've lived in Montreal 9 years and I took the green line in the wrong direction. again. I think this might just keep happening forever. "Angrignon" feels very southwest and "honoré-beaugrand" feels very northeast.

The confusion and conflation of ‘generative ai that is built on stolen artwork’ and ‘machine learning, character behaviour modelling and proc gen’ is intentional on the part of the grifters peddling the former. They benefit from murkiness of classification, because the latter predates their bollocks

When we say "no, everything hasn't been digitized," I need you to understand that we really mean is that virtually nothing has been digitized. This is because the realm of primary sources that historians use is incomprehensibly large.

oneiromancy, tea leaf reading, rune casting, tarot, augury, reading entrails, astrology, automatic writing, english qaballa, numerology, oblique strategies, "oh, i'll just ask chatGPT for ideas"

there is the legend of musicians selling their souls to satan to make great music but SunoAI proves people will also sell their soul to satan to make bad music

how is my terminal glitching such that only specific letters are visible

game studio ceo assures that ai was only used to crank off to roleplay sex between himself and a MILF version of pikachu that's his next door neighbor while on the clock

this whole thread is excellent. when i was researching for my dissertation i found a lot of old papers on grammar checking (yes, like, red squiggles in ms word) from the 70s that referred to the task as "artificial intelligence." you cannot use this term in any serious discussion

my 2026 predictions: AI bubble fails to "pop" Trump has massive health scare but a week later he's fine Bari Weiss leaves CBS by December 50-50 tie in U.S. Senate Mark Carney achieves majority govt by doing nothing at least 3 obnoxious Gen Z Christian musicians hit no. 1

they need to invest in high speed rail that goes from pointe saint charles to atwater market

genai is only "inevitable" in that it can't be literally un-invented and it will still be used for boring pornography and misinformation campaigns aimed at white Gen X moms. it's very easy to run one of these models locally if you have a good GPU (and, hey, those are going to get real cheap)

after I begrudgingly admitted I had created my new beautiful baby son partially with GenAI, all my friends and family wrote to tell me they regret wishing him well and that his blue eyes are not gorgeous at all

I think it's kind of sexy and fruity of me to release an album of 5 songs that is 35 minutes long. next year

my cat swatted me in the face for no reason and now she's cuddling with my thigh. But I'm wise to her tricks. she's 1.5 years old and already an emotional manipulator

My proposal is to add an infix tetration operator `***` to JavaScript. For example, `3 *** 3` would evaluate to `7625597484987`; this would be one of about five possible meaningful results the operator was capable of producing (maybe ten if we allow BigInts)

earnestly believe the correct vote here is for peter theil. frankly i don't want elon to win anything, anyway. he'd take it as an honor

Re: Firefox - can someone explain to me why a web browser even needs a CEO. you are a web browser

montreal mentioned

in good news I've reached the point where, over the phone, I can speak in my best français and people don't switch to English on me. they just assume I am very nervous and slow to understand things. which, I mean, not untrue

hate when people make fun of devs/artists for saying "what if we could automate this tedious process?" Any piece of art that is big and complex, esp. when code is involved, requires tedium. i bristle at the supposition that a game is better because a human lovingly wrote the renderer test suite

one of my favorite .jpgs i have saved on my computer

if you want another reason to not buy the new "jon blow game" keep in mind he is many millions of dollars in debt (from not having released anything in 10 years) and if you do not buy it he will be ruined. sad!

every time I start a big project there comes a point where I start sacrificing my well-being to work on it. it seems with each big project this point comes sooner and sooner. this thing is not even close to done and I'm destroying my sleep schedule for it

im writing an album that will make you fall in love all over again with the sound of a mallet hitting sheet metal over and over and over again with no stops just constantly hammering away

i was the first or second account on bsky to ever post about music. kinda crazy to think about. nobody had ever thought to talk about music before i did

a thing that has been bothering me about the anti "ai" shit is people saying the "ai" art is missing something mystical and unknowable, and expect me to agree with this plainly religious belief

google search history god honouring way to fuse flesh/machine machine/flesh combos tier list cyborgs heaven possible?

like, isn't it very funny that the CEO of larian himself is saying "i've been pushing hard on generative AI but it's not making things more efficient and there's a lot of pushback." if even the ai evangelist has to admit that much failure, imagine what the actual situation inside the company is like

maybe this is a little cope, but. all the headlines about "AI in the office" use flatlining are, I think, signs that it is in fact decreasing faster than C-suite dolts are willing to admit. i'd bet money that they are claiming higher usage than actually exists to make themselves look like not-idiots

my read on the Larian using GenAI thing is that they've agreed to say they're using it internally so that the CEO can save face and pretend his very cool and brave suggestion was taken seriously. the devs handing a controller labeled 'midjourney' to the CEO that is not plugged in

when a cat headbutts you, lies on you, wants to be around you, meows at you, cuddles with you, asks for attention, slow-blinks at you, paws at you gently, and is upset when you're gone is that good. does that mean she likes me

Why doesn't Bandcamp have ads?? I listened to six songs and still don't know jack shit about Buffalo Wild Wings or ICE

TAYLOR: So I wrote an omigosh amazing bridge: (monotone with breathy leaps) 'the TRUCulent PETrichor on your CREPUscular LIPS, got me TRIPPIN on some HORNy ahh WET girl SHIT...' MAX: Ja. TAYLOR: Genius, right? Like, 'the TRUCulent...' MAX: Have jøu considered making the mælody more like Bøn Jøvi
