Bad jokes, good vibes
I wonder how much ChatGPT is being used to write government policy right now? In the UK budget this week, some ideas like the per mile road tax seemed like something ChatGPT would suggest - sounds like it makes sense at face value but is actually a deeply flawed idea when a human thinks it through.

So Pluribus is just an entire tv show of that one Rick and Morty episode?

(Not a complaint, it’s quite good)

I’m still using an iPhone 11. I was actually going to upgrade this year but the new iPhone is ugly af, so maybe apple sucking at product design now is also partly to blame for killing the economy?

I’m finding that generative ai is leading to an overall decline in trust. My default stance now for any image, video, animation or text whether online, in movies and tv shows or on physical products is to look out for indications that it’s ai generated.

When someone does inevitably launch the first on-demand AI music streaming app, I hope they have the self-awareness to call it Slopify.

The Twisted Metal tv series is easily the best videogame adaptation ever made by a wide margin. So much fun, on a par with Z Nation. Yes, it’s even better than Fallout and The Last of Us.

Booting up ARC Raiders to do some solo runs on my lunch break because apparently my job isn’t stressful enough on its own. Need that extra jolt of anxiety to get me through the day.

The thing that infuriates me about this is that we should be using machines to free us of the tedious, manual labor that no one wants to do, freeing us up to spend more time doing things like making art. It’s completely ass-backwards to use LLMs to do the creative things that humans enjoy doing.

Important to remember that opinion columnists are not journalists, they’re just exhibitionists who are inexplicably paid by newspapers to expose their asshole publicly.

Well that's saved me £8 a month
Under new head of Paramount David Ellison, the studio has drawn up a list of actors who opposed the Gaza genocide and will not allow them to appear in its films and TV shows.

Does this sound familiar?

Also, "Ellison is reportedly aiming to take over Warner Bros. next."

It sure looks like the likes of Javier Bardem, Joaquin Phoenix, Emma Stone, and Mark Ruffalo won’t be making movies for Paramount in the foreseeable future.

One year ago today I posted this miniature Toy Story/Jurassic Park parody photo I created using real figures, lighting and miniature sets. The rain, flashlight beam and headlights I digitally added in the rest is all real.

3. ⁠this is not the moment for an incredibly expensive increase in state surveillance infrastructure to be run for profit by private tech firms just before Labour ushers in an (even more) authoritarian right wing government.

2. Countries that have ID cards - like the whole of Europe - still have the same irregular migration problem (you may have heard!!!)

& in fact the UK has the lowest share of its economy estimated as irregular economy in Europe so if it fixes the issue WHY DIDNT IT FIX IT THERE?

Ok. They’ve pissed me off.

I’m back to tell you 3 things about ID cards:

1. Migrants ALREADY HAVE biometric ID cards & govts have been trying to digitise them for years w repeated fuckups & failures causing complete chaos - they don’t work, you do not want that system for you.

Starmer is done. Labour needs to find a new leader and pivot away from trying to chase right wing policies. Trying to mimic Reform isn’t working.

Anyway, back to what’s actually important: Donald Trump drew an image of a naked prepubescent girl, a child, for his convicted child trafficker friend’s birthday and everyone in the news keeps referring to it as a drawing of a “naked woman” which is really fucked up.
