  • My taste in music is dictated entirely by whether or not I think a song is fun to sing. I keep everything in one eclectic super playlist. These are a few of the songs I’ll skip if I have normal people in my car, so they’re a bit weird or at least have an uncommon sound/vibe.

    • “Tagga” by Kluben
    • “Escargot” by Jarv
    • “The Cult of Dionysus” by The Orion Experience
    • “Savages” and “Charlie’s Inferno” by That Handsome Devil
    • “Oh Actually” by 1 Trait Danger
    • “2025” by Bohdi
    • “Why Do I?” by Chii
    • “You’re an Ace Kid” by DEMONDICE
    • “Wasted on the Senate Floor” by Emperor X
    • “Phantasm” by JACK THE STRIPPER
    • “Fall” by Swing Republic

  • On philosophical level I believe in predetermination since literally everything is one chain reaction that could hypothetically be calculated, but I think it’s completely random and not constructed by any known higher force.

    That said I don’t get too worked up over jerks and assholes because they’re all deeply miserable and insecure. The way people act reflects what they expect of the world around them. Hostile people live in hostile worlds and the same for judgmental and hateful people.








  • I was only a kid in Flash’s heyday, so I’ve never dealt with it creatively. I didn’t even know it supported vector graphics. You can animate SVGs though, but I don’t know if there’s a good tool for it though. I’ve only ever made SVG animations by hand with SMIL.

    Also wouldn’t blender be better suited for vertex colored animations? I feel like in either case the point is lost though since it’ll have to be rasterized eventually.


  • No if they didn’t already dominate their respective markets, they’d have to actually compete against other companies. In a competitive market, there would be no reason to invest hundreds of billions of dollars into LLMs which are unprofitable, inaccurate, and have very limited use cases. AI wouldn’t be a bubble if these companies had any incentive to make good products and competition is supposed to be that incentive.

    Maybe down the line, the tech sector would’ve had an AI boom anyway. As it stands however, there is no real race to dominate AI. It’s a scramble to try to sell LLMs as intelligent so they can get AI money without actual AI tech.





  • I had a serious TBI when I was a kid and more than 15 concussions so my eggs are a bit scrambled.

    I can’t sustain a mental image, I can only visualize flashes of things. If I try to hold on to a mental image, it’s just a series of flashes that quickly become warped until the image just kinda dissolves and I have to imagine a new one. I also kinda of can’t remember faces. I can recognize people, but I can’t describe anyone’s face or remember/visualize details. I can only describe my own face as a list of features I’m aware of, but I can’t visualize it nor do I recognize myself in photos.

    Verbal thought usually comes in the form of a dialogue between myself and an imagined other person. There’s no one there and I knowingly come up with the question the other will ask, but I can’t just think to myself without quickly losing track.

    I also have ADHD, OCD, and major depressive disorder, so I also have the symptoms and episodes of those rattling around up there. I’m not sure if I’d call them thoughts though, because they feel different.
