Deinformationing – How the information age moves things offline

So, as you may be aware, music albums don’t sell like they used to. Here’s some charts from 2014 about it, so it’s 9 years out of date now and I think pre-dates the spotify like fraction of a penny per play model that stuff like spotify does these days as well as the further

Someday Sketchbook #2: Winter 2023 art drop

Here’s some stuff I was working on over the winter Costume designs for a fairly grimdark bug themed stage play I’d like to work on at some point. Alma, and her father The Lord of the Moths Paragon. It’s been fun thinking about what sort of clothes could imply the vibe of various insects on

AI Safety is a little scary. Some thoughts.

So I went down a bit of a rabbit hole the other week watching videos from Robert Miles about AI Safety. It seems like there’s a lot of risks regarding AIs that aren’t quite aligned with what humans value (and indeed, humans already probably don’t know what they value, so that’ll be hard to specify

How this all happened I wanna make video games. Definitely as a hobby, but just maybe as a job too providing I can actually get hired. It’s because of that second bit that I’ve been working on getting familiar with c++ and OpenGL so I can apply for jobs that involve those, which seem to

A New Era

The internet is changing. As you may have noticed, the internet’s kinda chaos right now. Twitter’s imploding, Facebook are bleeding themselves dry of money failing to invent VRchat and DeviantArt has decided to feed us all into the ai art machine with little guarantee to fully opt out. As you might have noticed, I’ve also

The Lonely Pharoh: A Poem

The Lonely Pharaoh. At the end of a path not yet travelled, on a day not yet reached, a familiar man stands below an unfamiliar sky. Though he is our child, we are not his parents, only those who ushered his voyage into the afterlife with coins to pay his passage. And yet, and yet
