Absolute banger

No-one could've predicted these systems would be abused by those in power. It's literally never happened before.

Because of the huge breadth of data AI agents like Muse are ingesting, this also means that users risk leaking not only their own sensitive information, but the information of everyone else they’ve had digital contact with. www.theverge.com/tech/1011938...

Concrete and Kiosks. Nothing adds a bit of colour to your day like a K67 kiosk. I love the little things. #k67kiosks

GooglebookOS has gone back about 30 years in terms of user interface conventions, by making it so that when you resize a window you cannot see the contents as the window resizes. Welcome back, Windows 3.1!

If you have an Ableton Push 3, I wouldn’t recommend updating your Macintosh to macOS 27 if you like having a working audio interface on your Push

Back to the system that works

One hour.

For my third typeface, I decided to create a condensed display typeface, called Over It. I designed three weights, bold, regular, and light.

@pkirn.bsky.social despite them knowing I’m an adult, they still don’t deem me an adult. It’s all bullshit (yes, even to this day they still don’t classify me as an adult despite already inferring I’m one)

Don’t. Sleep.

"Millions of people around the world will soon consider large models ‘hoovering up’ all their work to be an astonishing theft of unprecedented proportions."

Anyone going to this will have a good time

Really? Damn, couldn't tell…

Watching this Apple event tout how iPhones will soon be able to record ambient audio/conversations and transcribe "high level notes" for you. It's billed as private and end-to-end encrypted, but I think the bigger harm is the normalization of always-listening devices. It's creepy and not normal.

NEW AUTUMN GIG! A new last minute gig addition - I'll be playing at The Arena in Crewe on 15 November this year. I'll be appearing with the wondrous @lofive.bsky.social

Tickets are selling rapidly for Thursday's Emotion Wave at Commune - with Roy+Lo Five, aaypea, Jez Thelwell and b.a.g.s. - come on down ✨

I will never buy another game again.

If you're not using asbestos yet, you are being left behind. Everyone is using asbestos, there's no point in trying to fight it. Asbestos is the future.

Literally no-one could've predicted this eventuality.

OPM. OPP. OPZ. OPZ2. One plugin, soon.

Evergreen. Guess I just won’t buy games anymore.

Post a picture that should be on an album cover

Three weeks until we welcome Liverpool writer and storyteller, Roy, to Emotion Wave - with myself providing a sonic backdrop. We also have Jez Thelwell, aaypea and B.A.G.S. playing live and hybrid DJ sets ✨

Just wanted to say that I own quite a few of the MonoMono devices, and they're all top-tier. I rank MonoMono amongst the greats such as Fors, @plogue.com, @uheplugins.bsky.social, Synapse Audio…for attention to detail and incredible sound

NEW: Teen boys are using smart glasses — mainly Meta's AI Glasses — to film themselves harassing classmates at school, following girls around and "rizzing" them or "ragebaiting" them w/ insults. In several videos we reviewed, girls plead w/ the poster to stop filming. futurism.com/artificial-i...

checking out the director commentary for Backrooms and there's a lot of use of @valhalladsp.bsky.social for the soundscape stuff!

Without downloading any new pics, where are you at mentally?

I'm pretty sure that any physical book you can acquire as a person or company is always a copy; or in other words, not the original.

Currently entering my NiN phase

if there is ever a reboot of Quake, MachineGames had better be at the helm. The add-on episodes they've done are excellent.

Christian has completely and utterly nailed (heh) the crunchy low / no interpolated samples digital audio stuff that was all over the original Quake soundtrack.

who did the soundtrack for the new Quake Dawn Of The Machine pack? They really understood the assignment, because they got the gritty poorly-interpolated sample textures nailed properly, which I very much appreciate.

rest in piss suno

Damn, it's almost as if these things were intended for another purpose…

I do not want to be around anyone wearing Meta smart glasses.

This video for one of my favourite Sulk Rooms pieces is excellent

The AI companies _want_ you to believe that it's "rogue AI" because that overhypes what their broken statistical text generation software does and mystifies it and makes it appear magical. It's not magic. It's just badly made software.

PSA (especially to journalists): It’s not a “rogue AI” when a badly made security harness executes scripts fed to it by statistical text generation—it’s just humans making and/or using broken software.

I had one of these as a kid. Vividly remember the lenticular effect going on with the screen

With a budget of $250 million, and currently a world-wide box office takings of $282 million, I'm perplexed why people seem to be universally proclaiming The Odyssey as a box office success. I reckon it's going to need to pull in at least 4 times that amount to break even.

"why does the UK change leaders so often?" there are diminishing returns wrt how long each vessel can house thatcher's spirit. by the end of the century we'll be getting through 1000 prime ministers a day
