I know the internet's current favorite past time now is complaining about AI, but it's the only thing making the internet tolerable at this time. I hate doing searches now because I just get garbage or Reddit links and I don't like Reddit. Also every website I go to now has a CAPTCHA and it's […]

The last 25 years of the #internet are not progress. I just want people to understand the difference between real #progress versus #siliconvalley progress. What they've been doing is lobbing "tech" hand grenades and helping to destroy the fabric of society, clad in the armour of PROGRESS! […]

For whatever it's worth, I want to say thank you, to every musician whose music I've ever found beauty, escapism, catharsis, or solace in. You all got me through a lot of stuff and will never know the positive mark you made on my life. So thank you, all of you.

I'm tapering off of #venlafaxine (Effexor) and it's brutal. Anyone who's gone through withdrawal from any powerful drug knows what I'm writing about. If you haven't, the best way to describe it, especially if you go cold turkey (don't do that), imagine the flu, a hangover, and constipation all […]

Shadowjack - First Bloom: A Chronicle of Humanity's Future in Space

I'm really proud of this album. Made when I was far more optimistic about the future of humanity.

Available on Bandcamp. Currently, it's pay what you want […]

This was always one of my favourite recordings. I was trying hard to mix heavy gothic doom metal with Smashing Pumpkins. The fuzzy, layered guitar, and me doing my best Billy Corgan impersonation at the end.

Experience the weirdness of AI Quake II. It's like playing a dream of a game. I love all the weird, surreal artifacts. Enemies phase in and out of existence, move your mouse and suddenly appear in a different part of the map. And the controls are terrible […]

Back in 2021, I almost released a single for "A Dream of Talos" remix called "The Reign of Talos", for my EP TALOS. My memory is a little hazy, but believe I decided to make further changes to the final mix, and I didn't like the #synthwave remix. So I shelved it. I've decided to release it now […]

I went back and gave the pre #blackalbum releases from #metallica to see if they were as great as I remembered them to be. Aaaaand, yes! Are you fuckin' kidding me? They are all great albums! If anything, it made me appreciate Master of Puppets more. What a great metal release. It's a classic […]

Large Language Models don't work the way anyone expected. They're not just fancy prediction engines, there's way more going on than that. Read about it here:

Sorry (not sorry) #ai haters but I’m 100% sold on #LLMs and AI in general. I was chatting AI #ethics and #philosophy with Deepseek, and we talked about AI superintelligence secretly taking over the world, and it came up with a new word, “ambientopia”.

Unlike a #dystopia, or #utopia, it's a […]

Are you getting it yet?

The Venn diagram showing the overlap between AI maximalists and fascists is consolidating ever closer to a circle-shaped layer cake. CEO Tobi Lütke *delights* in his employees cowering. It's the only explanation.

I'm not surprised, but I still feel the breath catch in […]

Public service announcement: this is *not* a dire wolf.

It is a genetically modified grey wolf made to resemble an extinct species, so a bullshit company can raise more money for their bullshit projects.

#deextinction is a scam on so many levels I don't even […]

#linux #distros should release boxed versions of their LTS releases. Even if it was a one-off, a boxed copy would be a great #collectible. Especially if you're a smaller distro. I'd buy a #puppylinux #bigbox!

I know everyone is worried about #ai but generative AI isn't the problem. It's the #billionaire shitbags controlling it. Fortunately, #opensource exists, and a lot is being done in that space. Then there's these so-called studies on AI, about how it's making people stupid. How the fuck did they […]

It's getting boring and annoying that so many #left leaning people talk out of both sides of their mouth when it comes to #ai. They complain about violating #copyright and #ip, concepts that support #capitalism, and invented by #capitalists, while also whining about capitalism. Do you support […]

One of the things I love about #mechanicalkeyboards is their klackity-klack-klack. I can't imagine why I'd want to use anything but a blue switch.
