Hiya! I'm Matt, but on the internet I'm "d.notive"

The main thing you're going to know me for (if anything) is my music! I was an early darling of the #Synthwave thing so I'm an 80's nut.

I'm also a furry. I made a fursuit. My fursona's name is "Roland" like the synth company.

I think my proudest moment at this con is when people on the elevator were talking about using AI and I just went "AI is for dorks" and walked off without elaborating.

We really need to double down on outwardly stating our work does not contain AI.

We're seeing it in movie credits and books, we have to start putting it on things we make and pressuring others to label their work as human made, and normalize that as much as we can, I think.
stuff like this maybe
Anti-A.I. stamps!

I'll be okay for now, not in any danger, but if anyone has any leads for a Senior Software Engineering role, I'm all ears.

Would prefer remote, or something in the Twin Cities metro, though if something tantalizing shows up, I'd consider relocating to Boston, Seattle or Cali (Ordered by pref)

Big Tech is offering you a Faustian bargain. It promises to remove all the friction from life, to keep you from having to think or study, and the result is your brain will become pudding, you’ll become incapable of creativity or communication. They want to make you a non-person.

New coworker last week was bragging about feeding all of our manuals into an AI notebook, convinced it will reduce the number of inquiries we get.

I warned him that this has been tried before, and the AI straight-up invented products we don't make. Wasn't interested in hearing it. ->

lifelong learner is the way to live and be. to live and learn anew, with the seasons of our lives, with the people we know. and more so, with the inner journey.. the flow of how we change and who we become. #lifelonglearner

I feel like I've been a coma for the last 2 months.

I started a new medication in early November and while it treated what it needed to treat, and did it REALLY well, the side-effects basically left me a shriveled husk energy-wise.

I finally dropped it today and I feel like a person again.

It's kind of amazing how much more creative I've felt since I stopped engaging with this website every single day 🤔

I need you to know that I'm the sort of person who will watch a popular piece of media, think to myself "I could write a better TV show than THIS" and instead of bitching about it online will just actually sit down and write a better TV show for fun.
Screenwriting is arguably the most bittersweet medium I work in.

I love writing, and as a "film person" it's always come extremely naturally to me (and I like to think I'm pretty good at it?)

... but, the "bitter" part is always knowing that very little of it will probably ever get read or made.

Magic is real. Through music you can influence the mental state of others and induce them to move their bodies. You can help people fall in love or create visions of Heaven and Hell. All this only through the manipulation of vibrations in the air.

Musicians are sorcerers.

Did you know that you can be the against the development & usage of nuclear weapons while also still advocating for the advancement of nuclear power?

Like, actually "generative AI is evil but using the same core technology to detect cancer is not" is a hair you are 100% allowed to split.
We could save soooo many lives but people are so caught up in their reactionary moral panic nonsense
