I think we’ve got better and more culturally-varied street food than I could have imagined, cool jackets galore, and drugs that make us think we’re really fast and strong before they kill us.
we're getting all the downsides of cyberpunk (social alienation, ruthless hyper capitalism, digital mass surveillance state) but none of the promised upsides (cheap street food, cool jackets, super drugs that make you really fast and strong before they kill you)

The exhibition was to my eyes, just a bunch of (in once case quite literally, rags) clothes grouped together under some tenuous curatorial direction written in International art english. But I did also get to see some drippy/bad ass fits that I liked a great deal.

On Saturday I went to the 'Dirty Looks: Desire and Decay in Fashion' exhibition that's currently at Barbican until the 25th of Jan.

I don't "understand this," but I do understand that he's doing something technical novel that requires this explosion of neologistic jargon. There's no simpler way to explain it.

The thing about Gas Town is that it creates some tricky professional conversations for me. On the one hand, I need people to look at it and understand it, because it’s the shape of things to come in 2026. On the other hand, I have to preface every conversation with “So, this is unhinged, but”.

In April 2024, Spotify implemented a new scheme: songs with less than 1k streams per year would no longer receive royalties.

The data for 2025 was just released via Luminate, and 88% of songs have been demonetized.

Read it again: 88% of songs on Spotify have been demonetized.

Is there anyone in my network with a pair of Xreal 1S AR display glasses?

If so could we meet up and can I try them?

The thing I think is interesting is that LLMs could totally make non natural language interfaces too, so it's not like this isn't doable.

ChatGPT 5.2's improved reasoning over long contexts is really impressive.

It's ability to look at well over 100k words of my writing across 3 documents and synthesis a 'thesis' is really remarkable.
