Lessons learned are quickly forgotten unless they were learned in terror, or sorrow, or shame. Wisdom can always be rented for free, but it must be purchased with pain.

Managed to finally watch that old 1970 classic "Colossus: The Forbin Project". For those who don't know it, it's about a defence AI called Colossus that goes a little megalomaniacally draconian, designed by one Dr. Charles Forbin. 1/2

I'd never thought I'd ever complain about having more old hifi/stereo equipment than I know what to do with or have place to store (this is just part of the latest haul).

A hydrophile is a molecule or substance that is attracted to water and readily dissolves in it, often due to its polar or charged nature. So there, now we know.

BIOD #575 - It Ain't Rocket Science
It ain’t rocket science after all! In 2020, Amateur rocket builder Claire Lloyd built a 6-foot-tall rocket designed to look like the one from the famous ‘The Far Side comic’ shown here. Lo and behold...

"digital asbestos" is fantastic framing.
I'm going to be honest here, I think AI is going to do so much damage to the usable internet that even after it's inevitably crashes out, it's going to take years to disentangle from every space it's polluted, like digital asbestos it's gonna be time consuming effort and likely expensive venture.
I think AI is going to eventually tank in the longterm, but...
the only real way to combat this is single-interest communities. Forums, user comms, etc, with a barrier to entry. They become trustable knowledgebases. It's really the only way forward is to return to what worked best the first time

A "Greatest Hits" album by an act you've never heard of containing 78 tracks spread over 4 CDs should be approached with extreme caution.

It's easier to build an audience by ensuring someone is always mad at you than it is to break stories or do unique things.

For a long time during the early Internet years I'd always wondered why there was so little info or even mention of the "Alien War" experience/show that I'd been to, quite by chance, in London in 1994.
