My challenge to everyone this new year: find a new word to describe your process of change or evolution. Stop overusing the word “journey”!

Dune, except replace water with GPUs. He who controls the funding round controls the universe. Many datacenters on Ix, new datacenters. Simulations within simulations.

So what do you call generative music creating using code partially or wholly generated with generative AI? Metagenerative? Agenerative? Cogenerative? Aihop? Ghosthop?

Very pleasant time in the MRI machine today. A fifteen minute journey that began with the opening notes of Kraftwerk’s Autobahn and crescendoed with some Pan Sonic meets Alva Noto plus some amazing stereo haptics. Much better than the last MRI a year ago. Super inspiring machine, great experience.

Keio line train today has rather annoying 180hz tone. (Just shy of F#). Must be third harmonic of the power or something…

If you truly enjoy coding, AI vibe coding sucks, as it takes away the coding enjoyment and forces you into being a manager. At best you will be managing a willful junior engineer that doesn't consistently take direction. At worst, you will be managing a slot machine (i.e. you will just be gambling).

@edzitron.com maybe you have, but I haven’t heard you discuss how vibe-coding and other generative use of AI is like Labubu or slots. What I mean by this is that it is low level gambling — the user keeps trying different prompts until they get something like what they want and a hit of dopamine.

Sometimes after trying to get AI to write code, I have that sort of depressed feeling you get after watching too much television. That sort of “why did I waste my time doing that” sort of feeling.

Tried the same with Dakota Access pipeline protests and the Boston Tea Party — try asking Google assistant or Siri “what were the Stonewall Riots”. Interesting that it only mentions the inn and police, no mention of other parties involved or reasons for the riots.

2 AI generated images. The second was created with the prompt "now make the original image look more like it is in Tokyo". Apparently if you want a scene to look like it is in Tokyo, you just add multiple billboards and many salarymen with umbrellas.

AI training material features the prompt "create an image of coworkers sharing reports", and the displayed example image result features 3 people at a table showing paper with a column chart, and a smallish golden retriever laying on papers on the table next to a laptop and cups of coffee.

@scannerdot.com If you don't mind, which geophone seismic microphone did you use on Forces, Reactions, Deflections? I've been looking around for a not-super-expensive one. Love the album btw, great start to an early morning in the office.

MaxMSP MicroAggression, Saturday, October 18, 2025 at 4:15:50 PM GMT+9: Testing new version of snn.sinePerc with additional options like overdrive with tanh compression. Also added a couple of patchers for controlling @valhalladsp.bsky.social Supermassive and FreqEcho for auto-modulation. #maxmsp

MaxMSP MicroAggression, Saturday, October 18, 2025 at 3:31:21 PM GMT+9 - Interesting discovery made while creating a MaxMSP patcher for controlling Valhalla FreqEcho VST. There is a weird sweet spot in there between 1.4 and 2-ish ms delay with feedback turned up. #maxmsp #glitch #electronic

Funny thing about ambient music is that the supposed intent is to be background, but it often can act in the opposite way. I was in an office in a meeting in Tokyo yesterday when track #3 from Aphex Twin's Selected Ambient Works Volume II started playing.

ugh... Tahoe icons = sad face emoji... though I'm sure in a month of so I probably won't care anymore...

Gah. My problem isn't not being able to focus, but just having too many things I want to focus on... my latest distraction, comparing audio processing in Rust and C++, because I was thinking of one day getting a Linux laptop that doesn't support MaxMSP. 😅 #maxmsp #dsp #rust #cpp

Oh, nifty... Firefox et al. (such as LibreWolf) now supports container syncing. The lack of this was the main reason I had settled on using profiles in Brave with profile syncing. Might have to give it a go again...

Received a payout email from a class action lawsuit from a parking company that experienced a data breach, for a $1 USD app credit. They settled in the case, but stated in this email "No court ever found ___ liable for anything" making it sound as though they are paying out of charity...

I really don’t understand smokers who go to the men’s room and scrub the hell out of their face, gargle and wash their mouth out for minutes after smoking, like some demon sat on their face and shit in their mouth. If smoking is that bad, then just stop for crying out loud!
