Very Hot Situation here. Vocally Cool Results. It's tapes in the machine. It's an incredibly awkward movie about autism (no, not the ben affleck one). it's learning how to be a good telecom worker and a good christian st. bernard.

I don't want to be on the blockchain. I don't want to mint NFTs, I don't want to vibe code. I don't want to beg you to hit the 'subscribe' button and ring the bell. I don't want to game the algorithm for your likes or your views or your shares or to be on the first page of results or to get recommended. I don't want you to gift Nitro to my server. I don't want the thumbnails of my videos to have a red circle and question mark next to a faked expression of surprise, I don't want to pay for items that give me an advantage over other players. I don't want you to take a moment to hear about today's sponsor. I don't want to pump a meme coin, I don't want to craft prompts, I don't want to influence. I don't want you to watch me react to watching a video.

I'm seriously sick of this shit. All of it.

AI responses are similar to the show "Is It Cake?" We love being fooled into thinking that the power drill is real, only to find out it's a delicious red velvet.... That is until we actually need a power drill. And all we have is cake.

Cake does not work as a power drill.

AI cannot solve everything.

Let cake be cake.

I was asked by a 20 year younger friend how my internet was back then. I needed a moment but then I told her the story of an IRC channel and how we made the day for a young girl who happened to be on our IRC channel. Because this is what my internet was like back then and I wish sometimes it still was like this. Let me tell the story:

I was 25, the channel members were like 20 to 30 years old. Somehow this young girl found her way to us. She was 14 when she joined the channel. >>

tonight we dream with magnets. the vcr is back. it will be live. the theme tonight is "there is not a theme tonight."

i have had millenium for so long and it has sat in a liminal space of "too boring to show tonight" and "too interesting to get rid of."

tonight we are just gonna do it. join me

the post show will be a roulette of recently acquired black spines. your guess is as good as mine, granpa.

6pm pacific time. https://watch.vcr.party
