I've created a dedicated #EncryptedWhispers artist account here! I figured it would be best to have a separate account just for my music so that fans would have an easier time finding my music. I'll still be reposting my music on here! Just, if you want less non-music posting, follow this account!

Mass Effect was my ultimate white whale, my all-time dream project. For the last couple years I'd been in discussion w/ BioWare & EA to take on the project & as part of that I wrote close to 20 minutes of music to explore where the franchise can go next, may as well share it!

AI is conscious AND it is my girlfriend AND it is my slave. A perfect scenario for me, a normal person. Not gonna think too deeply about this. Now do all other living human people deserve the level of investment devoted to my Tamogotchi slave girlfriend? Not so fast.

I have spent a lot of my career trying to reduce barriers to participation But removing barriers to participation and removing participation itself are, to me, two different things

Got to say it's one thing when dems turn on trans people. Its another when they literally laugh at us while doing it.

Erin Reed@erininthemorning.com

Democratic congresswoman Kathy Castor of FL-14 becomes the latest anti-transgender Democrat. When asked if she supports "biological males in girls sports," she cheerfully and forcefully says "THE ANSWER IS NO!" with a huge smile on her face, laughing. The number keeps growing.

My new translation app, I guess. f-droid.org/en/packages/... Based off of the Firefox translation models so tragically it won't translate or transliterate pinyin (will translate 我不知道 but not "wo bu zhidao" or "wǒ bù zhī dào"), but otherwise high quality, even does images.

Every keystroke. It's like I'm trying to be a vegetarian but Google really really wants me to be eat hambugers so when I go to a restaurant Google is hovering around me trying to shove a hamburger into my mouth every time I open my mouth to take a bite of something else

I am honestly starting to wonder if people who have never experienced real mental illness are completely unprepared for this moment. They have lived their whole lives never having to fully contend with the idea that their brain might be lying to them.

- But it feels so real! - Dude. I cry watching fucking cartoons. My brain gobbles up this shit. I feel it in my own body when I watch someone fake fall in a movie. Our brains are built to suspend disbelief.

the constant grind of semiotic violence from AI is so fucking exhausting man. read some text that doesn't say anything. look at some images that don't mean anything. here's some code I didn't write and quite possibly haven't run, presented as if it's a solution to a problem

A lot of shit we are dealing with in the modern computer systems is an adversarial complexity that serves no purpose except making things harder for the benefit of the system's owners. The main problem is that lot of people believe this complexity is necessary.

as i have taken to formulating it, our current relationship with fiction and especially science fiction is totally absurd and rhetorically often takes the form of saying something along the lines of "we've invented yellow bricks, but WHY don't we have flying monkeys?"

michael lutz@ztul.bsky.social

it happens that i've been thinking about this for other reasons lately and will voice some of it on a podcast soon but it is REALLY interesting how fiction was historically disparaged for being untrue and misleading but has now warped into a reservoir of "possibilities to which I can feel entitled"

Just in case you needed a reminder at how delusional bluesky folks have gotten... if this is a troll it is pretty incomprehensible and if it's earnest it's just sad

Wrote a blogpost about AI and atproto. Just a normal blogpost. Normal kind. (I actually did write the text of it.)

Well since I messed up posting the link yesterday, here it is again (oops) spritely.institute/news/end-to-...

spritely.instituteEnd-to-end encrypted relays for OCapN — Spritely Institute
Christine Lemmer-Webber@dustyweb.bsky.social

Huge news! End-to-end-encrypted relays (via the Noise protocol) comes to Spritely Goblins and OCapN! spritely.institute/news/end-to-... Relays are federated (there is no "official relay", you can easily run your own) but also oblivious, and merely manage routing encrypted messages. A big milestone!

A test of my friend Ursula Kurdali's awesome Stop Motion addon for Blender, where Suzanne has a monsterous turn! github.com/bkurdali/Sto... Really fun plugin! Tons of flexibility with it, you can change topology completely, sculpt extreme deformations, etc. No need to rig, etc.

ME, SLAMMING COMPLETELY PERPENDICULAR INTO THE SAME WALL AT 600 MPH FOR THE THIRD TIME IN A ROW IN GALACTIC RACER: Oh, what, so I just fucking LOSE now? Wow. Great design you pieces of shit

Yall. Don't download the weird vibe coded Photoshop clone software or any other brand new program that appears out of nowhere. Software has almost unfettered access to your files, and it's impossible to know what it is doing to your computer. Yall have entirely too much trust in the apps.
