Not only is food more expensive, it is much more likely to make you sick and harm you, or give your baby botulism

OR clutch the things you care about close to your heart and refuse to give in to the temptation of nihilism (about motion smoothing only - everywhere else make your own calls)
Leave motion smoothing on this year. Who cares. Your parents or in-laws are upscaling a compressed HD image to 4K anyway. Also nothing matters.

I quite like Glass Onion, which I realize is BLASPHEMY to some, but I find its presentation of our glossy dystopia to be closer to the mark than most other movies made of late.
It's also bleakly funny that even in 2022 I thought it was laying it on awful thick about tech bro douches, but if anything Norton's character is way too aware of other people as a concept and is at least attempting to fake an interesting inner life.
Pregaming for Wake Up Dead by watching Glass Onion, for some reason it especially pleases me that Rian Johnson has Blanc quote "My God, it's full of stars" and make note that the line is from 2010 not 2001.

has this person literally never seen a bucket drummer? did they ever consider your voice alone can be an instrument? I think they are just bad at being creative
"My parents couldn't make me a musician but AI can" is about as perfect as can be.

Pre 2000, Virtually every incredibly talented musician in rock & blues has a story of saving for a crappy instrument, learning by sitting in their bedroom playing to records, & playing terrible gigs for no money
All AI music does is devalue the work done by human artists. It’s not accessibility, it’s exploitation. We need real protections for artists against AI!

BTW — even if you had access to this AI startup as a child, you still wouldn’t know how to make music.

Logged off for a few hours only to return to find that the state of journalism might be even worse than we thought and some of the most unethical people are still somehow being rewarded with book deals and clicks for destroying it.

I also really liked this piece a lot, but do want to warn people if you keep reading him that he published this in the free press the next day, so just keep that in mind - his drowning metaphor of the person not swimming hard enough getting a life jacket was a bit of a flag
Hard not to notice that this is describing a landscape where public aid is pretty brutally means tested, and thus it's very, very difficult to climb out of the trap of housing/childcare/healthcare if you aren't supremely lucky
This is an insightful but deeply upsetting article about why everyone in the US feels poor, and why the current political situation emerges as a direct result.
