Adobe is becoming one of the biggest losers of the AI era. In a world where you can ask Gemini or ChatGPT to create any image you want, the need for Photoshop or any of their other apps has dwindled.
This is a slow motion train wreck that the company may not survive as AI disrupts content creation.

Data is correct, causal agency is (IMO) incorrect.
The vast majority of ppl who use AI to make images and video have never touched and would never touch Photoshop/AfterEffects/Illustrator/etc. The issue is Adobe trying to squeeze its users with subscriptions, and other customer-hostile behavior.

This is the AI bubble’s end game:
“when AI has infiltrated work processes to the point that exit costs are prohibitive, the customer base will be unable to escape and coerced into paying up. The world will be hooked on AI, and the tech firms will collect handsome profits.”

Growing up, I thought that the commandment not to take God’s name in vain was about saying goddamn, but this is what that commandment was talking about. Keep God’s name out of your mouth when you do your disgusting fascist deeds.

One annoying trick for reducing time on device is using a mobile browser that wipes cookies when you close it, and accessing bsky/IG/etc via mobile/dxtop browser rather than the app.
Reduces functionality. And you gotta re-log in every time, which gives you a few more seconds to reconsider.

This seems legit. Let’s get more money to the democrats so that they can keep saying “I’m not afraid to say that this is all fucked up. Cut it out Mr. Trump”
So friends, I launched a campaign to raise money for the Democratic Party of Minnesota (@dfl.org) to help them combat ICE's lawless assault. MN Dem Party Chair Richard Carlbom joined me for the kickoff. Learn more, donate, and let's rally for the courageous people of Minnesota, together! 👇

Outside of 800-year-old Zen aphorisms or Joko Beck dharma talks, Astra Taylor's THE AGE OF INSECURITY (2023) has been the most helpful writing for understanding the convoluted present state of US / Western / capitalist reality.

I worked as a 911 medic alongside cops and Border Patrol in Far West Texas for four years. I was trained to help people using communication and consent. At best, cops are trained to "solve problems" using intimidation, coercion, and physical violence. I wrote about how that plays out on scene.

update: the wonderful and cranky octogenarian Zen teacher I wrote about in the most recent (free) newsletter has successfully relocated from Indianapolis to California where he tells me by phone that it is "too hot" and so I hung up on him
One of the advantages of working with imperfect teachers:
"An enlightened shit head is still a shit head, and since we’re all already enlightened—we just need to wake up to our enlightenment—then we’re also all shit heads. The only way to recognize both of these states is by watching your mind."

tfw when you're three NA beers deep too early in the evening and the creeping dread of "gunna feel like garbage tomorrow and I got stuff to do" sets in and then you remember they're NAs and it's "heck yeh no I'm not" but then you stay up too late reading because you're not twisted :(

Sometimes I think about trying to do a live ID Music stream when I'm recording a new show but then I remember when I did a live yin yoga stream and nobody showed up but two friends and they were both in the chat like "you're just layin there on the floor" and I said "yes that is what it is."

I am not a Led Zeppelin expert but I am married to a Led Zeppelin expert and whenever I put this Australian stoner/doom raga on she hollers "what are you listening to" and I answer and she says "sounds like Bonham."

It's been 8 days since Renee Good was murdered. 103 days since the attempted murder of Marimar Martinez. 123 days since the murder of Silvero Villegas-Gonzalez. All that time and the only charges filed were against Marimar Martinez.

It's wild to see in numbers how unpopular Democrats are, and then see how popular moderately angry AOC is, and then switch back to the majority of spineless Democrats and their craven think tanks.

We recently tested ~ a dozen public statements from a diverse set of Democratic elected officials on the murder of Renee Good and this was the top testing one
AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

"Big tech companies" in general underperform the average of specific tech companies and are narrowly underwater - but still much more popular than both political parties
