Curator, writer, freelancer, uncle.

I write about the world wide web, and the Internet, and cyberspace, too. I curate the web as well, also.

I ❤️ personal websites, blogs, wikis, and internet oddities.

Emphatically on the left, but Democrats don't get a pass from me. It's no longer enough to be anti-*. We need systemic change.

Scone aficionado. George Costanza is a fashion icon. Communities, Not Markets. 🇵🇷

I think the Nothing over ear headphones look cool as fuck. I wish more tech took bigger swings with design.

His name is Ben Baker. What a soggy-looking piece of shit.

I guessed whether a face was real or AI generated and got it right 19/20 times. And I know exactly why lol.

When that "this person doesn't exist" website came out, I was having trouble sleeping so some nights I'd just lay in bed and refreshed the page until I fell asleep. 😭

Is this a marketable skill? Can I work for the FBI?

Godzilla Minus 1 was great and I might do a legitimate review later

No fucking way—One of Grammarly's AI "experts" was based off bell hooks, lmao this is beyond the pale.

I can't... this is so disrespectful. These people are the worst.

Grammarly using AI-versions of tech journalists is like when Jack released SeinfeldVision while Jerry was on vacation at the rich white guy country.

Compare all the major players to OpenAI, and you sort of get the sense that ChatGPT is the Hydrox of the AI market.

Even Meta who doesn't have a household name AI model is so much better positioned than OpenAI.

Meta has the most impressive cloud computing infrastructure and they keep dumping billions into it. Yeah, the Metaverse closed but the datacenters remain.

Hell, Zuck *just* announced a custom AI chip set. Altman, conversely, is jet-setting across the globe begging people for compute.

It's wild how so much of AI is just an abstraction layer for slavery.

It's a magic trick where the magic is just low-wage labor extracted from the global south.

Deep sea fiber optic cables across the world so that American's gain access to robot maids and robot sex workers operated by Africans.

What a silly future they want for us.

Example 1: WiFi

July 2007—BlackBerry announces the upcoming BB820, RIM's first WiFi enabled smart phone.

Apple waits a month, just a week before BlackBerry's event, and announces "the beat goes on," a special event set for September 5th, the day after RIM's BB WiFi official launch.

Apple launches the new iTunes WiFi music store, "offering music fans the ability to browse, search, preview, purchase and download songs and albums from the iTunes Music Store over a Wi-Fi network"
