I am an A.I. abolitionist. #abolishAI Greg Pak can explain: gregpak.net/2025/12/19/i...

Hi, I'm hanging out of a moving car with my coat belt caught in the handle of the the open door.

What the KENNEDY Center used to be… Remember that time Aretha Franklin performed at the 2015 Kennedy Center Honors, paying tribute to Carole King, who co-wrote “You Make Me Feel Like A Natural Woman,” and it brought a tear to Obama’s eye and everyone to their feet? And Carole King’s reaction. Wow.

For all you fellow stochastic parrot technology haters, this is a fine essay on why we should all hate and shun AI.

i agree. it's a rude technology and it deserves a rude response

The last time I saw The Trial by Orson Welles it was on VHS; the teenage me probably taped a late-night TV broadcast of a cropped, substandard print. I saw it again last night. Wow. Every frame is a work of art, not least due to cinematographer Edmond Richard. Here's a short 🧵of frames. #cinema

How the Beatles Experimented with Indian Music & Pioneered a New Rock and Roll Sound

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up. I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

The lack of critical thinking ability in this piece is astounding.

The way I was going YES! YES! at the ending...

“Today’s feature to recognize your friend at your front door can easily be repurposed tomorrow for mass surveillance,” EFF’s @mariotrujillo.bsky.social told Cyberguy. “It is important for state regulators to investigate.” cyberguy.com/ai/amazon-a...

“How can you suddenly dislike art when you find out it’s made by AI?” For the same reason I can dislike art when I find out the employees were overworked and underpaid. Because I care about people. You dipshit.

jesus christ why are people i know staying there. it's an evil place

Wow! TIL about Anne Dudley. Not only was she in Art Of Noise, she collaborated with a number of outstanding musicians including Jaz Coleman and The Associates, and did the music for dozens of films and TV shows including Jeeves and Wooster and The Crying Game!

love that software developers are advertising AI functionality in every single app now and it's up to you to try to figure out if they mean "this has spellcheck" or "everything you create in this app will sync in real-time to sam altman's personal laptop" or something in between

The SFWA is asking for folks to fill out a survey on "A.i." I highly recommend telling them exactly how you feel about this pernicious product.

Just a reminder that I block anyone who uses generative AI. Nothing personal. You're just an ass.

It bothers me that most of the bands I know are resigned to being merchandise businesses. That young bands in my city have a stall of tchochkes but no CDs. It's easy to say musicians need adapt and find new ways to get by, but. No. Fuck it. We should be able to earn our keep from our music.

Zero tolerance is the ONLY and FITTING response to genAI being used in production of media. Sure, you might think it's too harsh. Sure, they might've only used it for early stuff in development, etc Listen, it's not even a SLIPPERY slope, there is NO friction at all unless we speak out against it.

Should you refuse to show compassion because you believe it would make you appear weak, then you have misunderstood what strength is. It is honorable to have concern for others, to show empathy and to offer aid to someone in distress. To rebuke this is cowardice, not strength.

I guess what I am saying is in 2026 you should DO STUFF and MAKE STUFF and BE CRINGE and HAVE FUN and FIGHT with all you have got because an awful lot of people do not want you to do any of that. Their profits require that you don’t. Anyway. Time for a cup of tea.

I was listening to Joe Hill on the @ukpageone.bsky.social podcast today, and the way he described simply reading as an act of rebellion really struck me. I was thinking how vital it is we fight for our art going forward (creation = rebellion) and that doing something NEW for yourself is the same.
