screenshot of a tumblr post from user β€œwildmansters”

The thing that really boils my potatoes about Al in general is that I have been a creative professional for over a decade now and the devil has ALWAYS been in the details. Big and small, I've had single-person businesses rip me to shreds over how their colors turned out on newsprint, and have worked with huge companies with THICK brand guidelines with every detail of their brand identity laid out and enforced with an iron fist.

But I guess all of that stuff doesn't matter anymore? Who gives a fuck if this Al generated baby has six fingers, that mom-and-pop shop is still going to use it. That rug from Temu says Happy Thanksgivirg? Oh well haha it's just a silly funny thing now (nevermind that you never would have given a B-grade item from a craft show the same consideration). I don't actually care that the Al Coca-cola ad has a truck that changes size every scene, but I can't help but think about how, if it had been some poor underpaid artist, they would have been laughed out of the building.

I don't really know how to put it in a succint way but it just feels all the more obvious how much more grace and flexibility has always been possible but never offered.

because everything is designed to suck as much as they can get away with right now, and also everything looks the same, people want tech with aesthetics

Spotty the blue snail sitting on the ZX Spectrum, an 80's home computer.
She is wearing a black shirt that says "I'm with stupid."

She says "I'm on the spectrum? Yeah, the ZX Spectrum."
"And autism."

I like that Metroid Dread embraces the fact that Samus is hot, specifically because she's a giant woman in a suit of armor who will step on you.

- you buy it, you own it
- tactile
- durable
- no AI
- aesthetically fun
- no subscriptions
- no bloatware
- you can share it with friends
- capitalism is a hellscape

I use transparent tech as examples because it's obviously the coolest

They're already trying to paint the January 6th pipe bomber as trans despite him being a MAGA believer in conspiracy theories about the 2020 election being stolen.

Osama bin Laden had the 2007 Devil May Cry anime on his laptop, so logically speaking I'm a card carrying member of Al Qaeda.
