Podcast is an acronym for Pair of Dickheads Carping about Something Trivial

A near perfect synecdoche for Ai, from guitar.com/reviews/elec...

Producing a document in Claude / receiving a document produced in Claude from a coworker

One of the striking things in the Martin Scorcese doc was in his early days how well he could visualise, and draw his storyboards

My thoughts are with the 8000 people laid off from the brain poisoning and racism factory

If you couldn’t figure out how to do it with a $30pm SaaS subscription and a few zaps, you probably won’t be able to do it with $150pm of Ai tokens

Good day to read “The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas” shsdavisapes.pbworks.com/f/Omelas.pdf

Vibe-warfare

How long can a world go on under such a subtle God? How long can a world go on with no new word from God? See the plod of the flawed individual looking for a nod from God Trodding the sod of the visible with no new word from God We're just drinking margaritas at the mall…

p(dumb)

Was puzzling about the meaning of a picture in which a man it is impossible to imagine helping someone in trouble, is crouched over a prone woman as if engaged in some sort of first aid training - and the answer is of course “ketamine”

If anyone can finally, burst the Ai bubble it’s the director of The Fountain

I’d be very surprised if anyone makes it through more than five minutes of this with their full concentration

AI has brought us a new aesthetic that I’m labelling “corporate psychedelia”. C-level slide decks full of NotebookLM infographics that look like Ozrick Tentacles covers

When you got movies like Tyler the Creator in them you can’t lose

Marty Supreme? More like Marty (Scorcese’s post overdose DeNiro vehicle Raging Bull is) Supreme(ly overrated in the canon of his work)

If they called bread sauce nutmeg sauce it would be much more popular I reckon

Sassy

The depressing thing about the reaction to the McDonalds and Coca Cola AI ads is they don’t care. This is gradually substituting the cheaper kibble in your dogs bowl so that it doesn’t notice you’ve given it something substantively worse.

If the agile you followed brought you to this, of what use was the agile?

The median level of graphic design now is so poor that everything is starting to look like a scam

How much political capital does Starmer think he can get out of “Farage was a horrible child”

There’s a horror movie on Prime where David Van Day from Dollar gets attacked by killer gnomes and it’s surprisingly much worse than that description would suggest

Remember pre ai when computer systems were deterministic and you could make their results better with logic instead of doing cargo cult science to try and train them www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

The best pubs are always on the edge of something

364 days of talking about microplastics and one where everyone covers everything in shitty fake cobwebs

Close Encounters is quite an odd movie

Why are all presentation softwares (Pitch, Figma Slides etc) optimised for mixing and matching different styles from different templates in the same deck, at the detriment of managing consistency at scale and something that no organisation with a designer on hand should ever really want to do?

I am grateful to the evil men who have brokered peace with an evil administration, who would otherwise continue to commit unspeakable evil in vengeance for an evil unleashed after decades of evil acts. Wishing many of those involved to be torn apart by cenobites achieves nothing.

“I vibe-coded it”

Just seen Race for the Devil at the PCC. The first ten minutes tricks you into thinking it’s going to be a biker movie and then it turns out to be a motorhome movie

In the year 2025, never, ever tell anyone you have a working printer at home

Annoyed that those Oakley meta glasses look like a very well designed product and will sell a probably sell a ton now that they’ve found an actual use case

Well this is disconcerting

Good day to run a game of Find the Lady on Westminster Bridge

Me, a week ago, loving Eddington: haha the false flag antifa supersoldiers, such a great gag

the “Blue Remembered Hills in a spaceship” vibe of Alien Earth is wearing a bit thin

Absolutely fucking not

No to Heat 2. Yes to Den of Thieves 3-8

Now it’s been a couple of years, serious question, has anyone seen an Ai generated image that isn’t, on some level, a bit dogshit

Special place in hell for anyone online speculating whatever else is wrong with those kids other than they’re starving

How do I cancel my Labour membership if I’ve already cancelled my Labour membership

Few words gladden the heart like “Washed and Ready to Eat”

Watching Cronenberg “The Shrouds” is like an Ai took detailed notes about everything I love about his films and didn’t like about CoTF, made a perfect film then translated it through three different languages. 5🍿

The accelerationist in me thinks Metas plan to replace ad creative with ai slop is going to be hilarious.

Looking forward to working in the hexagon factory from Andor www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

I hope David Berman would have been happy to be quoted in a Christ Dillinger song

Every guest on Laura K this morning- Angela, Kemi etc, has been so wretchedly awful on the subject of Gaza that she’s been put in the odd position of having to ask some good questions

Aside from anything else, “They don’t understand my Twitter” is the most embarrassing lyric an adult has ever put to song
