“It’s all the exact same words too. I mean, in a completely different order, but all of them are there.”

And I’m a dark-room-goblin kind of guy. My areas are *not* lit like a hospital waiting room or office space. Kind of dim, warm light.

Looks fine in person.

On grainy webcams it looks like I’m sitting in a dark cave, with my front half lit by the screen like I’m watching a nuke go off.

Attractive.

Ahh, yes. All the worst parts of a phone call, but with the added benefits of “oh god, is that what my face looks like in this lighting?”

“Your year in re-poo”

Ok. I’ll just let myself out then.

0 to -2 degree range is a hell of a thing.

“Video” “podcasting” is just the same as “video” “radio show”…

“Let’s take a format that works only because of the explosive use of headphones attached to mobile pocket god computers and can be enjoyed hands-free while doing other things and make it like TV…”

The “I set up a complex Squid Games level set of puzzles to determine whether I tip or not” kind of nonsense says a lot about the person doing it.

None of it good.

Oh god, I thought it was just me.

I can’t go anywhere, for any reason, without having to compete for space in public places. Even if it’s mostly empty, and there are two or three people total… they somehow take up the space of triple that number.

A lot of “stopping mid aisle” kind of stuff.

So that's the lesson that pops up for me with AI stuff--when evaluating now, I look at whatever the focus is NOT on.

This isn't to say AI won't eventually be good enough to smooth out everything, but right now it can't. The tells are outside what the video/image wants you to focus on.

My “like” is a support like.

My DMs are open if you need to vent to a third party who doesn’t respond in platitudes, if such a thing would be helpful.

The quality of the information delivery systems have improved greatly… the quality of the “facts”, have improved not at all.

Oh my god, we just created an instantaneous, high-tech version of a high-school lunch table, haven’t we…
