Thereās a part in the book White Noise where the characters talk about losing their identity once theyāve aged out of being the primary demo for advertisements and marketing.I think about that every time I see nostalgia porn videos because theyāre always just ads for old products

It's rare that AI video makes me feel any emotion.
But these "nostalgiamaxxing videos" really do capture what it's like to grow up in the 90's

The hipster music discussion has devolved into 35 year olds trying to out-cool each other with what they listened to and frankly thatās the hipster spirit, right there

Needed to pull out an important part of the interview.
AI is often justified by comparing it to Amazon Web Services' ($57bn) or Uber's ($32bn) losses, when its costs/losses are hundreds of billions of dollars worse.
There'll also be little useful infrastructure left behind.
To go out publicly and say what he is saying, @edzitron has balls the size of the Las Vegas sphere

Only people who know how to drive will back into parking spaces.
We understand that itās safer, easier, faster to exit, and the best part?

Today, you might see a TV ad starring something that... kind of looks like me.
My opponent's super PAC is using an AI deepfake of me to mislead voters. They can't win with the truth - so they're resorting to lies.
It's disgusting. Minnesotans deserve better.

There are days when I miss being an editor and I particularly loved writing headlines. Whoever did this, I hope they took the rest of the day off.

The revisionist history of Uptown is getting out of hand.
Stellaās was owned by a restauranteur, who didnāt run it. It was essentially an oversized bar that sold mediocre seafood and closed two months after a viral video of a giant rat running around the restaurant eating food.
ALT Screenshot of tweets: The Real GOP - @TheRealGOP X.com This fish restaurant in Uptown, Minneapolis was a beloved family-run fish place right on Lake Calhoun. In about 2021 a Somali crackhead and his girlfriend burned it to the ground. There is now a flat asphalt area where the restaurant used to be. & Ulysses S.

still not quite over the fact that i watched 15 year olds get sued for millions of dollars for downloading twelve songs and now we all have to accept AI slop because every tech company in the known universe decided that IP laws don't exist now that they're inconvenient for them
