Episode 417 – The Decibel Boost Year-End Top Albums of 2025 Spectacular
2025 was… just utterly terrible. Nothing but alternating between despair, anxiety, and being infuriated by how much everything everywhere sunk into chaos while evil was allowed to run rampant…

Suddenly tempted to make a Summoning Salt-inspired video essay about Spain's competitive ham-sniffing scene.
I like to imagine that there is a rivalry between two top ham-sniffers: one, a meticulous keeper of precise traditions, the other a brash bad-boy with a colossal nose.

In addition to how deeply wrong I believe this to be, it makes clear how complex our fight for the future will be.
We all need to REALLY understand why this is wrong and dangerous. And this is not only about people with dementia.

The comments on this are all about how sweet it is and I feel insane. Using AI to make fake memories of your grandma with dementia and telling her they happened and then filming her reaction

Something that I think the ChatGPT discourse has really clarified for me is what makes people really look down on the notion of "validation" (specifically the tumblr/instagram pop-psychology version of the term).
If we are banning cell phones for kids we need to be talking about banning chatbots for boomers

Gonna be real, you dont need AI at all. Not with references, not with ideas, not to help you brainstorm, nothin. Not in games and especially NOT animation.
You dont need an ass-pat machine to help you and your brain. Ask someone who you trust to give you proper feedback without crushing you.

The older I get, the more my politics mature from childish, naïve beliefs like "the world is complicated and leaders have to make hard decisions" to more serious, adult principles like "hurting people is bad and helping people is good."

AI has actively made life worse for literally everyone
- tech is now more expensive
- you cannot trust most media of reality anymore
- programs barely function
- energy prices
- literal psychosis
- your voice can be literally stolen for evil
- more spyware
but hey, you can avoid paying an artist.

The newest Digital Circus episode is now the second time this year I got flashbanged with a Zach Hadel cameo outside of Smiling Friends.

Sam Altman: hey I made a machine that stole literally all your stuff in order to make CSAM of your child actors, sometimes it encourages people to kill themselves
Disney: Holy shit here's a billion dollars
Altman: the machine loses more than that each week but thank you. Soon it will become god.

masahiro sakurai had to jump through insane amounts of hoops to get sora in smash and disney let zero other disney characters appear at all, even in the background, and yet they're willing to sign away mickey mouse to the "make mickey mouse say fuck and call you a slur" video generator machine?
Disney and OpenAI sign a deal to bring 200+ Disney characters to Sora
