Yeah, I’d flip Studios and AK now.

See, I haven’t been to Studios in years, so I don’t even have any idea of what’s there now.

Enjoy! And good luck! My understanding is that crowds are even lower than in a normal off-season.

That’s what I’m saying. I’m sick of thinking/posting about it, so I can understand why others are.

Kiss my ass! Substance free? I have arguably the most detailed analysis of the AI bubble out there. Maybe you just don’t like to live in reality?

Matt Cowgill @mattcowgill.bsky.social · 1d

are there AI critics or sceptics out there worth reading? (Not Ed Zitron types who just do a whole THIS IS VERY BAD shouty, largely substance-free schtick)
