  • I like “AI” like I like plastic. Technologically it’s amazing! It allows us to do many things that would have been impossible or very difficult before!It has many different uses! Average people use it terribly! Business people use it for awful things! It is poisoning our reality in a pervasive manner that will persist long after I am dead!

    So yes and when it became overly marketable.

    I also really enjoyed when “AI” models made distinctly uncanny images rather than “realistic” soulless images. I have an image of a weird-looking baby and a chicken-man screaming at each other and it is distinctly hyper-perceptual. Good times! (update: I found it)


  • Magenta is a mass delusion. It has no wavelength, it exists only because of the boundaries in our perception.

    We aren’t able to see the world as it is, and yet hubris is so baked into the very essence of our being that our brains invent something to deny it. That is majenta. It is an egregore of vision, something we have dreamed into being and subsequently found ourselves made hostage to. It is a stalwart guardian protecting our feeble minds from the unfiltered reality of the world.

    If humanity has a god, then that god is Majenta.

    And the printers want to take it from us!!












  • All the girls want to talk about gay, but I just want to talk about postgres! There is nothing better than postgres, and database management systems are a great way to break the ice on the first date. But women just don’t understand it!!! All they want to talk about is gay, saying things like “you seem really nice but you’re crying in my arms at 3am telling me of your lifelong desire to date a man who would understand postgres, I’ll support you no matter what but have you considered that you may not be entirely straight?” Silly women!

    Haha I wish I could afford that! I live alone and I’m in my mid twenties. Instead it’s more like:

    1. Quick meal (requires little prep and little cooking time, maybe some garlic spaghetti)

    2. Big meal (a big stew I made a few days ago and put in the fridge)

    3. Porridge (super reliable, very cheap, incredibly fast to prepare, add frozen blueberries)

    And then:

    1. Eating out (a good treat for a special occasion)

    2. Delivery (it always ends badly)

    Pad with rice if ever possible. Eat some beans. Frozen vegetables with seasoning salt.



  • People say to not drink but what they mean by “drink” is to drink alcohol. It’s not like they’re trying to not drink anything because they’d die from that. Drinking water means drinking water but “drinking” means drinking alcohol. It’s a strange euphemism that I’ve been unable to un-notice.

    Just because I’m drinking while driving does not mean that I’m an alcoholic! I could be drinking water. In this case it’s liquid mercury but there’s no law against that.
