that cheap technology has given many more people access to versions of expensive and inaccessible tools is obviously good materially. but that commercial expressly emphasized, intentionally or not, the recent homogenization of those disciplines and the standards we expect from them, and their takeover by a handful of corporations who seem to want to sell you a fake, sanitized, and quite mediocre version of a real, weird, dangerous world, over and over until you forget what the original was like

that apple ad where they crush everything right. it was an abominable mistake on their part, it's given everyone a clear visual metaphor for what's wrong: smartphones can do everything, but as a jack-of-all-trades they can't do anything particularly well. whenever you're using a phone you're having a constant low-level, subliminal feeling of disappointment, a nagging feeling that if you were using the actual proper device to do the thing you want to do, you'd be having a better time

3rd june. the sky is a patchwork of light grey and lighter gray. the air is soggy. there is no crisp warmth nor a cool breeze. someone outside is using a hedge trimmer. that's right. it's time to celebrate the season: christmas, british-style. you put three unopened cans of Heinz Baked Beans directly into the microwave, placing them neatly on the glass rotating plate, and then turn the timer dial all the way round to '60 min'
mystery of the druids is so wild cos it has non-abstract graphics & voice acting, but also the logic of a ZX Spectrum graphical adventure made in a week by 3 chain smoking 12 year olds who weren't really thinking about what the gossamer string of contrivances connecting the puzzles would read like as a story
Can the fake AI thing be over? Can we move onto the next annoying fad? The current one feels like it's been going for like 10 years even though I know for a fact it hasn't even been 5
It's feeling increasingly like the pricing is spite based
I've been mostly out of action for a couple of weeks due to RSI and I'm not cooking much and my electricity bill is just exploding like I have an electric heater plugged into every outlet on full blast
Silicon valley buffoons stop vandalising your own products challenge
Every time you use this shit you're pouring clean water on the floor, and you're using electricity that could do literally anything with value. Playing a modern AAA video game on your giant PC at max settings is more eco friendly and reliably informative than googling something
This applies to both image & text generators by the way. They're both purely aesthetic processes designed by people who hate artists & writers but still want to profit from their art and writing
Machine learning "AI" does some categories of tasks more efficiently than standard software. None of the big high profile ML products are that, though. They're just machines that make something that looks like an answer by cutting up Google results and mashing them together
We have to destroy every machine learning service right now because of the clear and present danger they represent. Not some imaginary cyber devil, but the vast amount of energy and water waste they generate in the pursuit of making the internet Shit

silicon valley announces latest new computer, AI. "We Created A Computer That Cant Fucking Do Math".
Journaleists report this computer is making ten trillion dollars an hour. But it is also costing twenty trillion dollars an hour every single second. The CEO of tech, Satya And Ella, had this to say: We are firing everyone
