jwz's cards

two stacks of cards, showing front/back of a red card with white text.

front: (all caps, large) Do Not Talk To Me About "AI"
(all caps, small)You Make Me Long For The Sweet Embrace Of Death

back: By using AI, you have given a pass to

* the staggering climate and ecological impact
* The outright attack on labor by capital
* The systemic disregard of consent
* The basis in wholesale theft and plagiarism
* The assault on the very concept of objective truth
* The enrichment of the most cringe billionaire fascist motherfuckers the world has ever seen

There is no ethical use of AI

If you ignore all of that, you are trying to negotiate what level of harm to others you find acceptable for your personal, selfish benefit. You advance the agenda of these hollow-eyed joyless money-ghouls who resent art, creativity, and life itself.

The machine is disgusting and must be destroyed

a young 18 year old boy was killed in the basement of a house in France by an artillery shell. That boy was my Great Uncle George and I've only recently learnt his story. It's a sad one, but it has some lovely bits too.

That's him in France, likely near Villers Bretonneux.

He was known as the Baby of The Battalion, so once I read that little titbit I had to know why and learn his story. I've been researching him for the past month or so and I've written down some of it here if you're keen

for some reason, writing in these li’l guys makes songwriting happen much faster. (@jessamyn sent a whole pack of ‘em to me a while ago, so thanks friend!)

been both deconstructing older songs and working on new songs lately; made some progress during an internet outage the other night.

this could be appended with a rant about how i’m so burnt out at work, burnt out with the algorithmic hellscape as a whole, and tired of everyone around me going whole-hog on LLM-injected everything, but i’ll save you the wrath for now

taylor swift: time traveler
urlnotfound pro 11 hours ago
I have a friend who got an electric motorcycle a few years ago. It was so weird to see him get on it and it silently pull away.

People I know who ride motorcycles don't want quiet exhaust because it makes them even less noticeable by other drivers. I am curious if the electric motorcycles have worse safety records than internal combustion.
grantbarrett pro 11 hours ago
People who drive by my house don't want a quiet exhaust because it's part of their identity to be loud, to disturb the surroundings, and to be noticed. Late-night packs of riders aren't worried about much of anything except cops and maybe not them. I estimate that in a few-mile strip near me, every time they ride, their clamor affects more than 20,000 people.
urlnotfound pro 10 hours ago
@grantbarrett I don't associate with people like that. I am curious to know if quiet motorcycles are more dangerous to ride. If not, I believe we should end the various exclusions motorcycles have from exhaust noise laws. I don't ride motorcycles and wouldn't object if they banned them outright for health and safety concerns.
1f2frfbf pro 10 hours ago
@urlnotfound As s motorcycle rider of 20 some years, in my experience exhaust noise has zero bearing on safety. For one, exhaust noise only goes behind the rider, so it is only heard by people who can also see you. If you are concerned about safety on a motorcycle, you'll spend money on gear and skill classes, not pipes. People who say otherwise are lunatics with fragile egos.
homerj 8 hours ago
Yea, "loud exhausts are necessary" was just the asshole crowd's justification for their annoying exhausts.

Note that these folks also tend to be the ones not wearing helmets and riding with a t-shirt.

"exhaust noise only goes behind the rider"

Are you riding faster than the speed of sound, perchance?
mare pro 8 hours ago
Modern cars (SUVs) are so well insulated against outside noises that emergency vehicles (ambulances) often ignored because they can’t be heard.
mare pro 7 hours ago
Sound is important though. I ride an electric cargo bike and I have a big chunky chain in the box that rattles, so I make noise and don’t have to ring my bell if I want to pass slower cyclists on bike paths. If they don’t wear headphones they are aware I’m behind them and don’t get startled too much when I pass (at reasonable speed, I don’t ride very fast).
Just like electric cars that also generate ‘engine noise’ at lower speed to warn cyclists and pedestrians. Some brands of cars have really annoying ones, despite hiring movie score composers.(Hans Zimmer for BMW.)
1f2frfbf pro 7 hours ago
@rogrtheshrubber Fair point... swap "mainly" for "only" and I stand by the statement. Sound goes everywhere in an atmosphere... but when you build directional sound cannons, it has a primary vector.

For those interested in Large Format photography (there are a few of us on here) Intrepid made this amazing interactive page that allows you to search for various lenses and check all sorts of stats for them. Previously all this information was stored in spreadsheets and somewhat dispersed.

Really nice to see it in one place and so user friendly.

My late father brought home this bag of dates from a trip to Israel in 1976. It has been in the fridge since then. My entire life they lived in my parents’ fridge. Dad’s been dead more than two years now, and still they stayed in the fridge.
But Mom’s selling the house and one of the last things in her final clean out & pack-up was to take this pic and throw ‘em away.
A great story, and a picture will work just as well as the actual bag to tell it.

I think of what the guys who run CAH could have done instead of the card game they came up with, and the answer is probably they would have become executives at private equity firms. So while I have qualms about them I think things could have turned out much worse.
