Got tipsy and went down several YouTube rabbit holes. From Nick Cave & Kylie Minogue to Miley Cyrus, to Taylor Momsen fronting Soundgarden to a whole bunch of Ozzy tributes.
How did I miss that Jenny from Gossip Girl can rip through ”Rusty Cage”?
Why haven’t I noticed that Chad Smith is a fantastic drummer?
I don’t know what it is about Dave Growl, but he is something different when it comes to drumming.

and tagged it with AI Blade Runner Creative work In an earlier post today I made a reference to the ”Tears in rain” monologue from Blade Runner which, naturally, lead me to its Wikipedia page and had me reading it to myself multiple times, hearing Rutger Hauer’s voice in my head. In doing so, I made a connection to a post about Pluribus for a few weeks ago where I argued that creation was the one thing the hive-mind, a stand-in for generative AI, couldn’t do. Viewed through a certain lens, Roy Batty shows his humanity – not only in showing compassion but also – in actually creating. He used his last breaths to create a poem.

and tagged it with AI Dave Winer If you programmers still don’t want users running servers, then I propose you look at your thinking a bit, and wonder if you’re perhaps a member of the computing ”priesthood,” trying to protect what you do from the unwashed masses? If so, you’re on the wrong side of history, imho. The inexorable process of tech is taking things you used to need to be a wizard to do, and making them easy for normal people.
The link to the original Twitter thread is broken so the full original context is sort of lost in time1 but regardless of the specific issue (servers, apparently) this quote feels apt for the current moment of AI, vibe coding, etc. Uncomfortably so because I feel uneasy about so much of the whole AI thing but maybe that is because I’m part of ”the computing ’priesthood'”.

and tagged it with AI Creative work Pluribus A quick thought on Pluribus. From what I understand it’s been conceived over many years, meaning it was not originally intended to be about generative AI. However it most certainly became partially about that. One scene that feels like a commentary on genAI is the scene where Carol has started writing again and how delighted Zosia is.
Now, it is possible that it’s just another case of the collective ”yes and”-ing Carol, but I feel like it’s something more than that. It seems like the collective, like genAI, can’t create anything. They’ve already consumed all the worlds stories but they can’t add create any new ones. Therefore, in the world of Pluribus, Carol creating is a monumental event.

and tagged it with Movies Super Mario Galaxy 
Also, yesterday the whole family 🎞 watched Super Mario Galaxy. The kids liked it and had a great time at the movies, and therefor so did Linn and I. However purely as a movie it’s almost offensively mediocre. Minimal plot, no real character moments, just a bunch of noise.

I’ve been watching Pluribus for the past week. Right now I only have the final episode left. Really loving it.

YouTube is f*cking broken these day, with the amount of ad breaks.
@MrHenko yep
@MrHenko this is a move from gently suggesting the premium option to forcing it down people’s throats.
@derekpeden Indeed. I do consider subscribing to the ad free version every now and then but I always resist because it feels like that would be me rewarding them deliberately making it broken.

– Ja, säger Mohamsson.

Vallöften behöver hålla i fyra år. Det här löftet höll i mindre än ett halvt år. Förtroendeingivande.

and tagged it with Hobbies Making video games It’s been more than two weeks since I last wrote about my progress with the game. Back then I wrote a list of things to work on and I’ve been chipping away at it, to the point where all the bullets on that list is completed, save for one.
Doing this project is still very enjoyable, to the point of it being the main thing I want to do if I get ten minutes to myself after the kids are down for the night. In reality that doesn’t mean much work per week but I will keep to the idea of at least one short programming session per week.
(Yes, as previously stated this is very much a Zelda II rip-off.)
