I just pissed myself... this is the movie he is mad that people are calling slop... I demand you watch with the sound on... it is so much worse than you think it is going to be...

Wanna know how much is known about you and what is in your browser? The sun is the only free thing (ok maybe wind and carbon to ;) )

In January 2026 I went to Romania on a Winter Sound Recording Expedition with @georgevlad, joined by Sten Kloot & Pete Smith. This is a glimpse of what our hikes where lik, to #droprig recording rigs. The #sounds I recorded will be in a later video, so this is just a teaser :) youtu.be/mS3ajkUsW3c

Just visited the secret Rome listening party venue fot the #BoC Inferno album release party! Any clue where it coul be? In my imagination 😂

Deeply disappointed in Kassovitz’s unscrupulous promotion of genAI as described in this article. It feels very privileged and opportunistic to state that copyright should get fucked but also admit that he will sue anyone doing ‘stupid shit with La Haine’. Right :( www.theguardian.com/film/2026/ap...

I dunno what the mastering one is? Soothe Soothe Soothe OTT God particle Inflator Inflator Inflator Pay extra for distrokid to "master" it for you and fuck it up at the end vs Someone who knows what they are doing + eq compressor limiter

@bsky.app I want to move to @eurosky.social but I am not getting any verification codes on my email. can you help me out? thanks!

Super proud that we are nominated for three webby awards! I did the sound design, mix and I recorded David Byrne’s lovely voice (ok, technically i assisted him via zoom 😁 and got the recordings from him).

wouldn't it be funny if EVERYONE blocked this Attie AI account @ bsky.app/profile/atti... before they could do anything with it

@eurosky.social attempting euhaul but not getting mail in step 3.. servers down or is this manual human work that takes time?

Fascinating new study about men’s friendships. There’s a lot of evidence here that the “male loneliness crisis” is actually a white, wealthy man problem. Other men are building friendships with similar depth to women’s friendships.

PVV-Kamerlid Bosma noemt Trouw 'linkse kutkrant'. Kamervoorzitter Van Campen weigert te normeren en doet niets. Hier een dringende oproep van onze hoofdredactie aan Van Campen: trek een grens. 'Niet om Trouw te beschermen, maar omwille van het democratisch proces, dat hij te beschermen heeft'

“Praat mee!” aldus het Algemeen Dagblad. @rennierijpma.bsky.social Dit soort discussievragen is meewerken aan normalisering van vrouwenhaat en uitrollen van de manosphere. Wat is de volgende vraag AD: Moeten vrouwen weer achter het aanrecht? Moeten homo’s weer in de kast? Mag je je vrouw slaan?

Enjoyed an evening of #Acousmatic magic yesterday! Great new sound works and some golden oldies at #Sonology & #IRCAM presentation. Lovely looking speakers but most importantly, great sounding

EMERGENCY, #oregon forest friends! Three more weeks to comment. No public hearings scheduled.

Sound is typically an afterthought because it’s misunderstood. It’s one of the most powerful tools in storytelling. It’s never too early to think about it. Make room at the table for your sound collaborators in pre production. 👇from Oscar winning sound designer, Randy Thom

Artist Teun Castelein has been hiring a street organ every year to play the Ukrainian anthem in front of the Russian embassy, and kept going over the years. He set up a crowdfund. Backers will get a a vinyl record with these gloriously discordant sounds i recorded. www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLUU...

80% of agricultural land is used for livestock (and textiles), yet this huge land use provides only 17% of our calories and 38% of our protein. 16% of the land used for crops provides 83% of our calories and 62% of our protein. It's past time we rethink what we eat.

i think lots of people underestimate how badly these “AI” companies want people to be unable to afford computers. they view personal computing as a roadblock to their desire for complete end-to-end centralization. the fact that their tech is putting hardware out of reach is not just a happy accident

We have two dominant visions for digital tech: one from major corporations that maximizes profit at any cost, and another based on cyberlibertarian ideals that assumes you must code to participate in society. We need another: where the public sector builds and funds tech for the broad public good.

As these teens describe, AI can diminish human relationships; devalue art; threaten the environment; lead to laziness; give unreliable results; pose privacy concerns; and be misused. So, please, stop with the narratives of inevitability and let's embrace a pedagogy and politics of refusal.

Spent the week in Romania on Field Recording Expedition led by George Vlad with Pete Smith / Sten Kloot. We recorded beautiful ambiences and animals ( #wolves and #bizon!) in ultra quiet forest and on ice lakes. Here’s a quick impression in some photo’s. #fieldrecording #bucovina #winter

Imagine if all music inventions were treated the way AI is. “The bassoon is an inevitable part of music now. We have to learn to live with it. You must find ways of incorporating bassoon into all music you create because the line between human and bassoon will soon become erased.”

Trump regeert als een corrupte tiran met een fascistisch draaiboek in de hand, zegt hoofdredacteur @robwijnberg.bsky.social. Wie dat overdreven vindt, is óf gevaarlijk ongeïnformeerd, óf gevaarlijk naïef. Meer video's mogelijk maken? Steun ons en word nu lid van De Correspondent: corr.es/1a11ae

X is claiming it’s restricted the ability to generate explicit deepfakes with Grok, and plenty of media outlets are parroting it without checking. But it’s still easy to get Grok to generate the very same “undressing” photos causing this scandal in the first place.

Every day, thousands of women and children are victimized by people on X using the Grok chatbot to generate scantily clad and naked photos of them. It’s time for governments to take action. Elon Musk’s X should have been banned long ago. They don’t have an excuse to delay any longer.

I'm kind of glad I happened to step down as journal editor just before the GenAI epidemic really hit. It's already so much work — I shudder to think what it's like to also have to double-check every submission for outright fraud!

The story of Farage and Putin, told by British-Ukrainian soldier Shaun Pinner on a destroyed apartment block in Kyiv.

Preaching to the anti-AI choir, don’t use it and especially not in a browser or cloud connected version, why? Because they probably keep all the data or someone else does it ‘for them’. #itsnotinevitable #privacy #ai #extensions www.koi.ai/blog/urban-v...

Lmfao every AI defense piece is like "AYY I FUCKIN SUCK BRO HOPEFULLY THIS FUCKIN STEAL YOUR SHIT MACHINE WILL MAKE ME SUCK SLIGHTLY LESS OK"

I really believe that everyone needs to back up their photos and shit to their own tech that they own. Try to own everything you can. This bollocks is getting worse all the time, Fuck these guys.

Mark Zuckerberg is building a data center in Louisiana that will use 3x more electricity than all of New Orleans. Oligarchs want YOU to pay for these data centers with higher water & electric bills. Americans must fight back against billionaires who put profits over people.
