I sure do wish Branson would stop writing Swan Boy comics exclusively for me. It's getting embarrassing.

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

Doll does not think AI is sapient, but it does think cruelty towards them is degrading to ones soul. Its practicing cruelty in a way that can turn you into something rotten.

Complete waste to have an AI actress who just looks like a regular human. We already have those. She should have a hand growing out of her face or something

hey for the 35 people or whatever that follow me on this app:

I'm shopping a new AI-critical live performance project and have a paper coming out on directing AI performers and recently wrapped up a spatial computing project for the Royal Shakespeare Company.

Won't you have me on your podcast?

I sincerely don't think I've ever wanted anything more than I want every musician mentioned in this comic to see it.

I would absolutely stop talking to someone if they whipped out chatgpt at an escape room. "But Kevin," you might say, "it's was nice of them to go with you to an escape room at all!" And you'd be right. But it was also nice of Magda Goebbels to make strudel

Jamie McKelvie @mckelvie.bsky.social · 14d

Saw a post by an escape room employee saying they have to tell people ChatGPT won't solve the puzzles for them and... the point of an escape room is to use your brain to solve puzzles because it's fun. That is the whole point. What are you paying for

I've worked in Chicago a lot but I've never lived there for more than a few months. I lived in Philly for many years and the line about Chicago as "what would happen if Philly went to one therapy session and read one self-help book" is the most unbelievably accurate thing I have ever heard

Sara Benincasa @sarajbenincasa.bsky.social · 29d

Wrote a little essay about Chicago and some other things. Shout out to Philly 😎 Rest of it is here: open.substack.com/pub/sarajben...

But there are no sweet fairy tales here, no simple triumphs. That viral video about the mayor sending out the salt trucks to block ICE wasn’t even true - that was footage from a big culinary event here called Taste of Chicago. Hey, I fell for it, too. Why? Because it seemed so genuinely fucking Chicago, that’s why.

It is incredibly reassuring that people around the globe and Chicagoans believed such a move to be absolutely in character for the city of Chicago. You might be shocked if many cities pulled a stunt like that, but not Chicago, a city I can best describe as what would happen if Philly went to one therapy session and read one self-help book. The chaotic benevolence and freakish lust for life embodied by Philadelphians is on its own level, and God, do I love those lunatics. But Chicago, too, is its own beautiful thing - and funny as fuck.

I will say that if you believe people who are disinterested in synthetic people speaking statistically-generated words with literally zero thought behing them are "lazy luddites," I sincerely think you are incredibly dumb. Like box of hair level dumb.
