All of these AI people are, without exception, absolute morons.

Try to find shared interests with your wife. For example, ask her to review the details of your mortgage in advance of your coming renewal period.

A new original poem. We're being sold a way to outsource our human creativity, but that's not a bargain we should make so easily. I hope that you won't sell your soul, I hope you'll create things instead. manastone.ca/2026/10/22/i...

Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre brought forth a motion to acknowledge that the Liberals have been in control for 11 years and that Canadians are in an affordability crisis and why doesn't anyone like me and I was told I would get my turn to be Prime Minister and oh god what have I been doing

One year ago, I started a blog because I wanted to create things with my human brain and connect to other humans. 12 months and 56 posts later, I take a look back and make plans for year 2. manastone.ca/2026/10/17/r...

Can we please stop these tedx things? Jesus.

It's not enough for weirdo mail carriers who like Quest 64 to say "I'm not playing games with GenAI in them" *Streamers need to stop playing them & mods made with AI *Review outlets need to stop giving them coverage and accepting codes and PUBLICLY SAY WHY *Modders need to stop using the AI tools

You're doing great, Tim, keep going.

Goth Gamer Nation, we're so back.

reminder

"I need to stay on X because-" No, you don't. Get off X, it is owned by a nazi pedophile who is actively engaged in politics and fighting a legal battle to allow his gen ai to produce non-consensual sexual material of people, including children. What could possibly outweigh that. It's soul poison.

"AI will change the world."

Y'know Palmer, that's great to hear, because we've been having a similar discussion down here, actually.

A computer will never have to figure out how to feed its family because it lost its job to another computer.

"why can you not just enjoy AI art?"

You know, the thing is, I had drafted this piece a month ago, and then never published it, because I thought maybe it was too mean.

Today, I begin the process of formalizing my original universe. It is the setting in which all of my tabletop games, as well as much of my fictional writing, take place. A life-long process, now becoming refined. Welcome to the Siderea. manastone.ca/2026/10/12/c...

Reject sending your credit card to an AI. Send it to me instead.

Rounding out the 2026 season, I attended Death of a Salesman at the Stratford Festival. I don't think Arthur Miller could have predicted how successful his play about the flawed American Dream would be. I'm sure he hoped it would feel less timely 75 years later. manastone.ca/2026/10/10/d...

Hey, we're gaming.

Roko's Basilisk, aka Pascal's Wager for dimwits.

The cult of LLMs is deeply ridiculous. LLMs are not, and never will be, sentient. You’ve created a statistical machine that uses statistics to create output that looks like the training data. No matter how wishful your thinking, this is clearly not how human thought or sentience works.

Hey Ezra you're an idiot and a coward, turn those comments on buddy.

Lol lmao

the more Musk spends on the midterm elections, the more ubiquitous this image needs to be

Before you proceed, Please tell us about a time, When you were hopeful.

I wrote about this kind of thing recently. manastone.ca/2026/09/26/r...

I like seeing the dev of the SNES core on the Pocket actually telling one of these dudes off. Holy shit.

There is currently a glut of Starcraft: Brood War content focusing on Pluto AI, a bot that has reached the top of the ladder and is beating pros. It's basically a bot that plays at 6000 APM and can see invisible units. It's Deep Blue for Starcraft fans. I'm already sick to death of it.

A Midsummer Night's Dream was a surprisingly good production, possibly one of the best shows the Stratford Festival put on this season. manastone.ca/2026/10/03/a...

Tonight is Match 4 of the ASL Season 22 Round of 8. It's Leta vs Soulkey. Will we see "Wraith Flaming-Skull" bring out his famous wraiths, or will we see his more-developed Terran play? Soulkey is a monster, and very likely to take the whole season!

Time to get spooky.
