why have a soy “burger at Mt Rushmore” when you could experience the chad “bison stew, wojapi and frybread at Crazy Horse”

folx, I’ve been working on AI "ethics" for almost a decade now & hate to tell you there’s no such thing as "ethical AI" the only "ethical principle" that works is regulating the shit out of the industry & to take back control of our autonomy, fundamental rights, freedoms & right to exist w/out AI

wowie the TL is bleak tonight. have a Raisin! goodnight!

Terrific Tuesday. This morning's sunrise in downtown Chicago.

This is how ignorant and presumptuous the AI evangelists are going to look in about 2 years as well.

i love drawring late at night

capitalism as a whole is just this massive roiling scam that rewards people who sell their peers out without any trouble. The less community and trust you have, the easier that is, the more you're rewarded it's why white supremacy and capitalism are inextricable

having seen these creatures in the fuzz just now i can confirm that the ketchup mascot is depraved

Happy Mother's Day? There's a garage for that! #southminneapolisalleys #MPLSdérive

What follows is a terrifying tale of plagiarism, environmental devastation and goblins! Mr Bot! Fine! Fine, no goblins…

apparently OpenAI had to put a limiter on Chat GPT 5.5 basically pleading for it to not mention goblins or gremlins, because since 5.1 it has been increasingly bringing up goblins unprompted. if there’s one thing I need this year it’s goblins being the harbingers of ChatGPT model collapse

i want a reason to hire an accompanist and make a professional performance video of myself singing "This Is Not Love" from Lizzie Borden the Musical. i don't even do stage acting anymore, but it is impossible to kill the Theatre Kid inside me

Everything that appeases capitalism eventually pivots to nostalgia to minimize risk. In gaming, that means a feedback loop of remakes that slowly cannibalizes the very creativity that built the industry. #blog #gaming

We could have paid for nearly every single person's electricity bill in the U.S. this year instead of dropping bombs on Iranians.

just sent off an email that said “Hey! Yes, I can shit my hold!” and had to scramble to edit it. happy Monday!!

baby’s first tteokbokki…this place said “bet, here’s a gigantic piping hot portion and there are 20 people behind you vying for a seat at the 5 tiny tables, good luck” (it was very good, i had to take most of it home)

i’m editing a video, screw it, AMA time. i may not answer everything but i will try!

AI rots your brain. Writing with ChatGPT is worse than writing shitfaced after a pub crawl.

This morning the Supreme Court set voting rights back by more than 6 decades. It's hard for me to see what remains of the Voting Rights Act when the Supreme Court put, quite literally, protecting Republican incumbents over protecting the voting power of Black Americans.
