Sad to say: that's not an AI-specific thing, just one that is accelerated by AI.
Also, I should really stop using the term AI for LLM and machine learning things.

Oh, boy don't I know it:
I can write code for hours because I am the one doing it, and doing it delivers dopamine shots every few minutes, when I compile/refresh my page to see my changes. It keeps me focused and interested.
This is the first time I see something with Ayoade Bamgboye and I like her a lot. Very charming and funny.

Another great video by the OTR people. And so much about Chinese Malaysian culture I finally understand now. (And should have probably understood twenty years ago. iykyk)

While I'm not quite as cynical as the author I sure did think about how good the Americans are at propaganda when they put their mind to it

This is my best one yet!

But first let me take a selfie

Linked purely for the headline

Oh, this is fun, the full Hiroshima show in great quality

Aww man, I'm immediately full of appetite and wanderlust.

This is something I'll have to think about for a bit, mostly because it rings so true.
I personally never felt like the Mastodon instance that I used was "my community" - it was always the bigger network.

Quite a fever dream of an article

I mean, it is really very Australian. So probably it's just right to officially turn it into a national piece of lore.

Best title of a YouTube video in a long time

Cheers! Yet another good video by OTR

Holy shit, this is amazing. triple j's Like A Version is a fun series anyway but this one is really quite something.

Looks like I need to take a few weeks off from work

This reminds me a lot of the old(-ish) joke "Punks are people who act mean but are nice while hippies are people who act nice but are mean." MetaFilter is very much a hippie place these days.
Oh, good.

Oh look, that's me!

This video has been making the rounds lately and being right in the middle of this, it resonates quite a lot.
"the sense of psychological ennui leading into existential dread that many software developers are feeling thanks to the encroachment of generative AI into their field of work"
Sigh. Again.

I really like the DS3, easily the prettiest Citroën in modern times and the same can be said of the rally version. What a car.

If you have seen memes of Tim continvoucly morging and didn't understand what has happened, the answer is of course: AI Slop. Thanks, Microsoft
The very last sentence sold me on the movie: "a marvellous sympathy for the whole cast" - which seems to be surprisingly uncommon in a lot of stories and media. I know it's not quite in the spirits of the times but I actually prefer watching (or reading) stories about people I can tell the author likes and that I can like as well.
Same here. I'll just hope that the hardware I have stays alive as long as possible and start a little savings bucket just in case.

Something tells me I will be thinking about this blog post a lot in the coming days, weeks, years.
Sigh.

"Trust is Being Manufactured Faster than It’s Earned"
I'm not sure what kind of person thinks this is a good idea. Ugh.
