World without anything, dark without stars—and then the poem, some imagined glass, half full of its own shards.

I always liked cascade in the chaos deck because things are always spiralling out of control.

these survey questions are such sour ass can't wait for AI to collapse just as the canadian government burns the civil service to the ground and replaces it with chatbots

Canadians: The federal government is seeking public input on how AI should be developed and used in business, research, and the military.

If this scares the shit out of you, please let them know:

hmm this Art. it speaks to me

screenshot from tumblr. username @matthewsiji.com says "It's 2050 and a teen girl is torrenting a .tar.gz file of all the consciousness of all the tech bros who uploaded themselves into the cloud in a bid for immortality and modding them into The Sims 4"

username crazy-pages reblogs with the added note: "I can't decide if it's better if they're not really uploaded into the cloud, they just all tricked themselves into thinking a GPT model trained on their brain is them, so she's playing with their fake echoes in a macabre imitation of the immortality they deluded themselves into believing they had. Or if they're real and she's just about to torment them forever"

If you know basic kabbalah it's actually not too hard to make a golem out of a labubu. Don't recommend it though. They have a pre-existing body-dharma. As soon as they wake they run straight for the sea. V hard to counter. Lost the first one. No idea what it's doing out there. Moved like lightning.

Paul Simon, Kendrick Lamar, Tom Waits, Joanna Newsom, Tori Amos, John K Samson for the Canadians. Kristin Hayter. That’s just who I have on my phone. People do impressive things with words and Taylor Swift has fun words sometimes but she isn’t in the first rank by any reasoning.

Emily, a Two-Shoes-Gooder @rebelmusicteach.bsky.social · 6d

I also need to know: I am fairly middle-of-the-road on Taylor Swift but someone I know called her the Greatest Living Lyricist. She is not.

Who is yours? Either the greatest or your favorite?

"there should be a following list without the implication of endorsement" cowardly, disgusting mindset. all of my followers love me unconditionally and are 100% complicit with anything i do. if i commit a crime they should be punished for it as much or more than me. it's called community

Package tracking is a completely confabulated jumble of words to keep me pacified, right? "Arrived at departure airport" great, that part's important. "Scanned at sorting facility" I feel a single dopamine molecule spinning around the active site like a dropped saucer.

it's not just that we rejected smart glasses 5-10 years ago, it's that the last attempt to inject them into our lives by google made this obvious: attaching a recording device to your body without the specific context of like skateboarding or motocross or w/e enables pvp globally
