I am extremely enamoured with how much effort was spent on the writing, ito cadence and placement. it’s glorious :D

(also, I wonder if the virtual riot video is why I’ve heard that riser pattern in so much stuff lately)

my habits lead to such curious discoveries:

if/when I use youtube, I use it entirely statelessly (and thus also without account)

it’s a remarkably good way to see some utter lunacy, but it also precludes that option of dealing with shit

Among other things, probably

also cc @dgerard (for pivot maybe)

re the youtube phenomenon, ran into this as an interesting post recently, although fuck if I can remember where I saw it

so I ran into this fucking garbage earlier, which goes so hard on the constituent parts of “the spam is the point”, an ouroborosian self-reinforcing loop of Just More Media Bro Just One More Video Bro You’ll See Bro It’ll Be The Best Listicle Bro Just Watch Bro, and the insufferably cancerous “the medium is the message” videos-made-for-youtube-because-youtube that if it were a voltron it’d probably have its own unique Special Moment sequence instead of being one of the canned assembly shots

looks that post has been updated and it might not be quite as dire

will still be better when apple finally documents shit and people test to see what really happens

yeah, I posted in previous stubsack I think

pin it on the AI developers or something and not the practice that used it and didn’t double check it’s work

okay so, what, you’re saying that all those people who say “don’t employ the bullshit machines in any critically important usecase” have a point in their statement?

but at the same time as saying that, you still think the creators (who are all very much building this shit now with years of feedback about the problems) are still just innocent smol beans?

my god, amazing contortions. your brain must be so bendy!
