Like, the very first rule of doing anything at all creative is *you have to give a fuck about it*

Using genAI is proof you don't.

Hard drive fail. Two and a half months of YouTube video creation gone. Was going to upload one of them today.

Sorry everyone.

I'm going to go ahead and plough this heartbroken-ness into re-making the two lost videos, but better.

Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait.

My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.

Finding it hard to be shocked at the reports of Farage being a teenage racist, as he is an adult one.

Last time I was in Hunstanton I was on holiday with my parents, and was 6. It was the same person, but different, who paid a return visit there last night.
