You know how when they do a restoration of an old painting they slowly remove the old yellow varnish with solvent and then they reapply a new varnish and it looks so clear and detailed and amazing. I think I need that done to me

I was using AI 15 years ago to laser bacteria and identify it just by the ions it left.
AI is a life-changing miracle
GenAI is a life-dulling embarrassment.

If we’re going to get really no quarter about genAI usage, I’m going to need people to learn the difference between AI and genAI real fast.

Funny animal videos no longer being trustworthy just fucking sucks all around. I love the wonder of animal behavior and what it says about the experience of being alive. It's because it happened in reality that it's so fun. It's not fun if it was just made up. There's no wonder there.

I think a Harry Potter adult might be the single most embarrassing thing you can possibly be. The dudes that write Nightmare Fuel pages for Nick Jr shows on TVTropes are cooler than you guys.

nothing can put a bigger smile on my face than reading that Microsoft has to scale back its AI ambitions because NOBODY uses copilot.

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.

every single game has this fixation on giant swords being these slow, single target damage weapons when the historical precedence for large two handed swords being used was for area denial and breaking up shield walls which would be so much more interesting to see actually represented

some people are REALL MAD that "someone who used to be a punk, badass, drug-addict is now non-binary" as if the writing wasn't on the wall since Phase 1 and being non-binary literally doesn't disqualify someone from any of these

When I was a teenager my favorite Vocaloid was Yowane Haku, the "Voyakiloid" that represented "failed" Hastune Mikus whose owners never figured out how to actually make the program sound good. Her first bit of art here by her designer, Caffein, kind of tells you everything. Sad and drunk.

I know there's a lot of other massive problems with "AI," but as a techie and a PC builder I am GODDAMNED FUCKING SICK of some stupid hype bubble designed to fleece investors and nothing else ruining my hobby.
Your crypto shit took all the video cards. Your "AI" took GPUs *and* RAM.
Fuck you all.

Everyone wants to make an exception for upping the internal res of 3D games and it drives me insane, NO, OH GOD NO
It hurts me so much to see fucking, N64 games upscaled so everything is full of pixelated obvious billboards like a shitty paper diorama instead of them blending in convincingly

clint eastwood is a funny gorillaz song in hindsight because it's like the only one that actually talks about the story of the virtual band in the lyrics. del the funky homosapien just starts rapping about how he's possessing russel. they did that on their first single and then basically never again
