- Comment on Meta’s AI Profiles Are Already Polluting Instagram and Facebook With Slop 3 weeks ago:
In around 2005 or so I went back to look at a Usenet newsgroup which had been a major part of my online life in the 1990s. All the people had gone, but the spambots were still there and the entire group was just bot spam posted at nobody and read by no one. The bots were even replying to one another’s threads. A forum where multiple IRL human friendships had been forged over the years was nothing more than grifting robots spamming at each other.
It’s fully 20 years later and the same shit is going down with a new coat of paint.

One can also undo the curse of reposting text as a screengrabbed image file.
Support local bands. Go to their shows. Tell them they suck to their face. Unplug the bassist’s instrument cable. Demand free merch after. Get drunk as fuck in the parking lot. Fight their drummer. Support. Local. Bands.

No matter what else they ever do, the greatest artistic achievement of DreamWorks will always be naming their villain “Fuckwad” with the spelling tweaked just enough to sneak past not only the censors, but multiple generations of oblivious family-film-going parents.
