It is fascinating to see what it reveals about how people think.

Well, it’s moving backward through my page, so really I’m just editing old captions and nobody notices. I’ve also been archiving posts and then restoring them later to make sure that it speeds through, and I’ve now managed to push it all the way back to old posts of mine from 2019.

Oh thanks! I love hearing that!

Man, you fuckin’ guys. Can’t believe I can pull 1165 out of 1200 and still come in third.

Yeah, facebook recommended it as an account to follow. It’s actually the second AI acct to target me this year, but this one took my wedding anniversary post and the nickname that my followers have lovingly assigned to my wife (“Mrs. Madness” - which she also loves), so I took it pretty personally.

Well, I didn’t expect this to blow up, and I certainly didn’t mean for it to piggy back off of the original post, but I am at least going to plug my LA history Instagram account from which that AI has been pulling its content:

I have announced it to followers there, but there’s really no risk of overlap because it’s moving backward through my feed and most people aren’t looking at anything older than a few months. It’s already back in my 2019 posts.

Would have hit him with a second egg, but in France, one egg was un ouef.

For the past six weeks, an AI Facebook account has been pulling my history posts on Instagram and slopping out new captions, so I’ve been feeding it poison pills and its followers are having meltdowns in the comments. It’s been pretty spectacular.

Sure, these are the pills, which only work about 25% of the time.

Also adding the restored caption that goes with the night shot, just to give an example of the research I’m protecting by changing it.

I then save the pills into a folder so that I can cut & paste the old captions back in.

This was the week they opened the now-closed Fiesta 16 theater in San Antonio, built to THX specs, and every ticket was discounted to one dollar to celebrate. These are etched in my brain.
