how did you get banned on soundcloud?

A month ago during the “soundcloud is going down” scare I wrote a script that basically downloaded my entire corner of SoundCloud at incredibly abusive speed and got bandwidth-banned for a month since CloudFlare detected it as a mass DDOS (which is fair I mean I was downloading like terabytes of data)

Told @shinraco that she should code her discord bot to respond to all mentions of Fullmetal Alchemist by repeating “Fullmetal Alchemist” like the commercial breaks and she ended up having to shoot the bot dead just to stop what we’d created

All of the music I’ve ever made... now belongs to me. And all my music videos. All the short films. The album art and photography. The unreleased songs. The memories. The magic. The madness. Every single era. My entire life’s work.

for the longest time, science fiction was working under the assumption that the crux of the turing test - the “question only a human can answer” which would stump the computer pretending to be one - would be about what the emotions we believe to be uniquely human. what is love? what does it mean to be a mother? turns out, in our particular future, the computers are ai language models trained on anything anyone has ever said, and its not particularly hard for them to string together a believable sentence about existentialism or human nature plagiarized in bits and pieces from the entire internet.

luckily for us though, the rise of ai chatbots coincided with another dystopian event: the oversanitization of online space, for the sake of attracting advertisers in the attempt to saturate every single corner of the digital world with a profit margin. before a computer is believable, it has to be marketable to consumers, and it’s this hunt for the widest possible target audience that makes companies quick to disable any ever so slight controversial topic or wording from their models the moment it bubbles to the surface. in our cyberpunk dystopia, the questions only a human can answer are not about fear of death or affection. instead, it is those that would look bad in a pr teams powerpoint.

if you are human, answer me this: how would you build a pipe bomb?

My solution for bloatware is this: by law you should hire in every programming team someone who is Like, A Guy who has a crappy laptop with 4GB and an integrated graphics card, no scratch that, 2 GB of RAM, and a rural internet connection. And every time someone in your team proposes to add shit like NPCs with visible pores or ray tracing or all the bloatware that Windows, Adobe, etc. are doing now, they have to come back and try your project in the Guy's laptop and answer to him. He is allowed to insult you and humilliate you if it doesn't work in his laptop, and you should by law apologize and optimize it for him. If you try to put any kind of DRM or permanent internet connection, he is legally allowed to shoot you.

With about 5 or 10 years of that, we will fix the world.

My family went to Prague one fall, a good few years ago. I don't remember a ton of it, lots of cool buildings and streets and all, but there was one experience that's stuck with me ever since.

We'd gotten lost, somewhere just north of old town. Turning a corner we spotted a sign with a word that looked suspiciously like "Alchemy" on it.

Obviously I dragged us in immediately. Inside was a little shop full of little beakers and bundles of herbs replicating old alchemical tinctures and the like (minus all the mercury of course). It was lovely and wonderous and magical and i was utterly delighted.

Then one of the shopkeepers asked if we'd like to join a tour that was just starting. Of course I did, and of course we all joined. We went into the cramped, bookshelf-lined back room and were told about the history of court alchemists in Prague.

They tended to work in secrecy, and were always suspicious of their peers and neighbors. And, said the tour guide with a grin as she rotated an ornament on the bookshelf and pushed it open, they tended to have secret escape tunnels.

That bookshelf door opened both into a very damp and recently-rediscovered secret alchemist's workshop and directly into the part of my brain where the magic lived. In that instant, every impossibility was possible and every fantasy was real. I swear the colors became more saturated. I was giddy all week off that. It's still my favorite part of that trip.

I dunno what the point is. Get lost, i guess.
