It’s bullshit. It’s inauthentic. It can be useful for chewing through data, but even then the output can’t be trusted. The only people I’ve met who are absolutely thrilled by it are my bosses, who are two of the most frustrating, stupid, pig-headed, petty people I’ve ever met. I wish it would go away. I’m quitting my job next week, taking a big paycut and barely being able to pay the bills, specifically because those two people are unbearable. They also insist that I use AI as much as possible.

Could just be curious

Nah cos you’re right, they’re shit - but if we’re talking about a future where these models are unfortunately used by uncreative dorks enough that they harvest enough music to become good, it’ll be a sad day.

It’s just deeply inauthentic. I’d feel tricked if I listened to a song that I enjoyed and found out it was actually a meaningless machine printout.

Oedipus.

I don’t think they meant that sentence as a criticism if you’re reading it that way – if you take it with the second part of that sentence, I think they meant “out of all the places you could have run to, luckily you ran to the bathroom which provides some convenient excuses for tomorrow”.

I hope you’re feeling better soon anyway, it sucks having a moment like that and feeling so humiliated :( we’re all human though, and they will understand :)

Get this AI slop out of here

Omg there’s a game of it? I used to watch that if I woke up early enough before school!

Edit: awh I just saw your edit :(

What’s fictionkin?

Massively self-obsessed people (e.g people who constantly big themselves up) and Tumblr comedy.

Unfortunately, the venn diagram of self-obsessed theatre adults and people who talk like Tumblr posts is a circle, and it includes the two loudest people in my office.

I often find looking up facts defeats the point of the conversation, specifically in the context of your first para

It sounds like you are nostalgic for that

Oh wow no way what a surprise I wonder if Paul’s agent has a chunk missing from his bank account and I wonder if that same amount of money appeared in Tyson’s agent’s bank damn wow how crazy who could’ve seen this coming?

Honestly tho, if you paid to watch a convicted rapist, and somebody credibly accused of sexual assault fight you’re kinda weird as fuck

Can you ask the universe when my landlady will lower my rent pls? I don’t understand particle physics

Is the universe more likely deterministic? :o

Hemorrhoids.

Thanks! I actually did consider it but my landlady won’t allow pets, and if I’m honest I both can’t afford and am too disorganised to take good care of something living. Good suggestion, tho!

Heya man, thanks for sharing. I hope you’re doing okay. That sounds tough, and it’s a hard realisation that love isn’t always enough on its own - relationships take work outside of love, and that has certainly felt like a disheartening realisation for me. It feels the world is a little less magic now, but that’s okay - there are better things coming for us both, that we will be better equipped to handle correctly with what we’ve learned from this. Happy Monday!

Sad, sometimes, and a little lonely most of the time. Been through a rough breakup this year. But getting better all the time! Hope you’re well!

I have adblock on my Mac, but not on the PS5. Whenever I watch YouTube on my TV via PS5, I have to open and close videos sometimes 10 or 15 times before they just play the video I’ve clicked on and not some obnoxious 45 second long advert for some bullshit I don’t want and won’t use. Honestly not sure why YouTube finds it so hard to play the video I clicked on and not random other videos. I also tend to stop watching vids as soon as an ad break happens.

I work with a marketing department full time and they’re exactly as annoying as expected, always pissing about on tiktok or Instagram creating shit that nobody could possibly feasibly care about.

Is there an alternative to YouTube on PS5 that doesn’t have adverts? Or is there some way to get adblocking on there?
