Tfw the court reporter I normally work with leaves me notes to find in deposition documents, so I’ll be editing an argument between two attorney’s and she’ll just leave a note that says ‘**omg shut up. Please. omg, shut up’ or ‘**I am at my limit’ and she goes back to typing out the conversation.

I love working with this court reporter.

hey jonny, i just thought you'd want to know that character.ai has an ai-generated imitation of your voice and i'm not sure what other websites might have it or where it originated :(

Yeah, it's a fucking garbage state of affairs but, as a somewhat well-known performer with a pretty distinctive voice it doesn't exactly shock me. Needless to say I think anyone who used this is a mediocre waste of skin and if they ever tell me in person they've used it then 50/50 I punch them in the teeth.

I can't wait for a couple of years when it all collapses just like every other niche-but-interesting-technology-with-limited-use-cases-sold-as-a-universal-panacea-to-gormless-CEOs grift (blockchain being the best example). Because the thing is, none of these things actually make any money and cost a vast amount, so as soon as all the dumb venture capital funding dries up and AI is required to actually start paying for itself, the bubble bursts and the whole industry is fucked.

That said, it's gonna be rough when it happens - a lot of companies have invested very heavily in AI and they're going to be hurting badly. I know of more than one media company whose idiot executives invested ridiculous amounts into NFTs and ended up laying off massive swathes of workers when that obvious fucking scam collapsed. I suspect the AI crash is gonna be even worse than that. And by then it will have drowned the Internet in slop. We'll see, I guess.

Anyway, anyone who uses AI is a soulless fucking husk of a person who cannot tell half-digested vomit from culture, and I would pity them if they weren't making the world such a measurably worse place to exist.

has something happened that I missed?? is tumblr being shutdown or smth

Nah, but the company that owns tumblr laid off a bunch of staff and the team runnning this blue hellsite is down to 25 people. Allegedly. I hate to be the one to break this to you, but we are, in fact, not an especially profitable webbed site.

Queen Cersei Lannister

absolutely never would have anticipated how many times i’d end up drawing cersei when I first started asoiaf but over time she has cemented herself as one of my favorite characters…

i’m forever revisiting my own designs, so here’s a second attempt at Cersei’s ruby mourning dress and a first attempt at her in her hunting greens when she goes to meet with Ned. I think hunting greens implies menswear, but I’m not certain and I could be misinterpreting…? either way I think it is more reasonable for trying to be stealthy so that’s the route I took…

So funny how Spock is like "affection is alien to me, love is unobtainable, I have no idea how I would ever approach a woman" and then you see his parents and their comfortable open PDA, that is the first FIRST thing you see about Sarek and Amanda. It just really puts into perspective how broken and queer Spock really is. Bro is FUCKED up. Spock my black metal queen

Things I’ve learned so far as a scopist:

Many attorneys cannot speak and stumble over their words.

People (not just the rich) can get away with a shit-ton with attorneys that graduated top of their class.

Holy shit don’t let your ego get in the way of you paying for a fucking translator to be there. Holy shit. Pay for a translator to be there is there’s a language barrier. Broken language skills will kill a deposition and make you all look foolish.

Some people will try to sue just to sue bc they can.

A lot of legal battles going on are still going on from 2021. They aren’t being seen until now. Our legal system steamrolls the rich and famous so their cases get seen and done first. Everything else can wait.

Learn how to do your own taxes if you run a business.

If you sue for medical malpractice, more people than you realize and will most likely never meet will learn your medical history.

There’s pretentious assholes in every field of work who believe they’re better than everyone in the business. (They aren’t, but they can continue to pretend.)

You forget every other program doesn’t automatically add double spaces after every period. They also don’t capitalize every sentence automatically from time to time or automatically swap out punctuations.
