It used to be easy to pick out all the catfishers on Bluesky because they all had AI generated headshots of vaguely Asian looking women talking about being into yoga.
Now, they seem to be more targeted based on generalized interests in your profile.
I fucking hate humanity.

fyi a fun way to answer this is by going “well let me put it this way, what do YOU do?”
and they’ll be like “I’m a dentist”
then you smile and rock back on your heels and go “oh, done any root canals I might have heard of?”

After someone asks what I do and I say I'm an author: "Have I heard of you?"
How am I supposed to POLITELY respond to that?
I'm supposed to attend a non-writer dinner event in a couple weeks & I'm already having anxiety because of these kinds of scenarios.

While so many in Silicon Valley marvel at AI, I'd like to point out just how shitty modern technology is across the board.

This They Might Be Giants TONIGHT SHOW performance of "Birdhouse In Your Soul" from 1990 remains firmly lodged in my noggin thanks to the Tonight Show Band's full commitment and Doc Severinsen's incredible trumpeting... It took an already great song and made it transcendent.

In this episode of "blown away by AI", Claude was able to explain to me what the "Pol & Bob" sticker on my CMJ badge from 1990 was--simply from a photo of my badge.
And it went on to describe that era as the "golden era of college radio". That made me smile :)

📌"I have typed before, and will until my last breath, that Black voters are America’s TRUE patriots, and the only voting bloc that overwhelmingly and consistently gets it right.
How incredibly sad it must be to see white people elect bile who see white supremacy as a virtue, instead of a plague."

One of the many areas in which modern capitalists fail to under stand capitalism is this:
If your pricing goal is to capture all the value your product adds, then the net is that your product adds no value.

Here's a thread on a concrete example of why vibe coding with AI is shit (meaning an inexperienced non-developer using AI to write code for a useful app).
I asked Claude to create some data visualization for my music practice.
It created a genuinely useful design. Time to celebrate?
No.

I don't know exactly why, but I've never been a huge Alanis Morrissette fan.
OK, that's not true. I know why. "Ironic" really put me off. It's a crappy song with crappy lyrics.
But, damn, "You Oughta Know" is so good and the bass line is just an absolute blast to play.
