All we wanted was a browser. All you had to do was build a browser. You had one job.

for real though: the delusion that LLMs make you more productive is the conspiracy/cult thought pattern with self defense mechanisms that i have been trying to comprehend my whole life. that motion wandering through a desert of dogshit aimlessly feels like progress because the slot machine occasionally cashes out funny money that feels real is the entire dynamics of grift. I am running out of fingers to count the projects that could be done by real honest work and planning in a tenth the time of the "produce nonsense, whittle away in an incomprehsible, unbounded void of nonsense" development pattern. and the old pattern had problems but when people were huge dickheads to each other while doing it it was because they disagreed about things they at least thought they believed. now people are just dickheads to each other and there is nobody there to say "wow that was a thing that only a huge dickhead would say"
whenever someone asks me "when are you free" a little voice in my head says ᴍʏ ʟɪʙᴇʀᴀᴛɪᴏɴ ɪs ɪɴᴛᴇʀᴛᴡɪɴᴇᴅ ᴡɪᴛʜ ᴛʜᴇ ʟɪʙᴇʀᴀᴛɪᴏɴ ᴏғ ᴀʟʟ ᴏᴘᴘʀᴇssᴇᴅ ᴘᴇᴏᴘʟᴇ

🇨🇦 🎮 Warframe 1999 questline, starting with "THE KALYMOS SEQUENCE" and ending with "THE HEX" (I think): sometimes a family is the worst Joseph Joestar cosplayer, his bitter situationship manservant, 3 talking animals and an entire mutant mercenary outfit, and I think it's beautiful.

The new game modes suck compared to Duviri, though, at least the Hollvania tileset rules.

📖 🇺🇸 "THE TESTAMENT" by John Grisham. I gotta say, I hope his other books are better, because even for an airport novel, this was pretty week. And we only get to see some cool lawyering like 90% into the book.

All in all, just shitty businessdad's adventure in Brazil, with a Knives Out b-plot going on in the background. Oh, and some insufferable AA Christian philosophy.

📽️ 🇺🇸 "MICKEY 17", dir. Bong Joon Ho. A pretty fun sci-fi flick that has something to say (like all good sci-fi does), but it's political satire feels very 2016. Like, we would be hooting and hollering at Mark Ruffalo's trump-sona back then, patting ourselves on the backs that oh yeah, we're sticking to him. But this is 2026 and sticking it to him got us jack.

The good guys in the movie win not by Mickey's self-sacrifice, but by the security officers staging a coup - institutions asserting themselves, checks and balances. You know, unlike in real life.

All in all, this is a movie that might give you hope (which I imagine they were going for) or it may push you back down into despair (unintentionally). RPattz is good though, as is Toni Collette.

A.I. musicians are COOKED. I just recorded an ENTIRE SONG using nothing but my instruments and a few microphones. This would have cost upwards of hundreds of dollars in expensive A.I. subscription fees but for me it was completely FREE. Don't get left behind. This is the future!
📽️ 🇰🇷 "OMNISCIENT READER", dir. Kim Byung-woo. Huh, I guess this is how you adapt a litRPG thing into a movie. Feels very anime, but overall, not a bad. You can really tell which CG effects the creators thought were important and which ones were like "ah, don't spend too much time on that one".
🇺🇸 🇬🇧 📽️ "CONSPIRACY", dir. Frank Pierson. A 2001 made-for-TV movie probably has no right to be this chilling, so hats off to the director and cast. I feel it falls into the trap of portraying the Nazis as way more well-mannered than they probably were, but I could see it being intentional here, as a kind of contrast of the humane behaviour and inhumane decisions being taken.
