Musician and person. Composer, instant and otherwise. A little in shock like everybody else. Unidencia

This is not a joke. It’s a look at the future.

@richpuchalsky They can't even fail better. Yes, when you don't believe in anything it's hard to know how to frame an issue, and your consultant has to come up with this dreck (or you). I couldn't even turn the sound on; the visual burned the eyes. I wouldn't have the imagination to dream up something this offensive and stupid

"AI in the enterprise is failing faster than last year
[...]
in 2025, 46% of the surveyed companies have thrown out their AI proofs-of-concept and 42% have abandoned most of their AI initiatives — complete failure. The abandonment rate in 2024 was 17%."

AI in the enterprise is failing over twice as fast in 2025 as it was in 2024

S&P Global Market Intelligence ran a survey last month, “Voice of the Enterprise: AI & Machine Learning, Use Cases 2025.” They spoke to 1,006 businesses in Europe and North America. [Teleco…

Pivot to AI
Thought I’d spend the morning getting a feel for what it’s like working with an AI generated codebase.
I spent most of a decade traveling to authoritarian countries and teaching people how to circumvent internet censorship. I am appalled that this is now something I have to do in the US.

when the fire comes they wait
24/7 holding the plan ceaselessly in mind
the defenders act: fire off a press release!

travertine walls, crushed stone
on the roof, goats, a million gallons of water
emergency rations, pumped and filtered air
poverty weed planted all around

Somehow we need to monetise this - and quickly
@balangereis He really blends the synclavier and live material very well on this record (e.g. what's new in Baltimore), but the 100% synclavier pieces are quite good too, IMO. Little Beige Sambo, and Areobics in Bondage are very well done. There are tracks I don't like, and the sound is early digital 👎🏼. But this record has a lot of excellent music.
@richpuchalsky I know teachers don't have the same kind of general standard that librarians do, but some have a strong personal standard and some ability to act on it. Anyway, if humans are doing this, at the very least there's reeking absurdity, which is hard to completely ignore - call it the charm of human stupidity. If it's some stupid fucking application, even absurdity is impossible. Total failure
@richpuchalsky In this case they have automated the turning-in which is probably worse on balance, since some humans, like teachers or librarians could theoretically use whatever discretion they have in kid's favor. But an app developed by morons for the police? It's the marriage of stupidity and literal mindlessness.
