I need to step away from my PC – for a moment – because, although I have so much to write, the statements made in this video touch me too deeply and are too closely aligned to my own views and too close to the fundamental reasons underlying my own depression and disillusionment and burn-out.

Watch it.

Seriously. Watch it. If you are well briefed on the A.I. bubble and A.I. Hell, just skip to:

  • ~ 34 minutes to miss the demonstration of the tedious issue.[1]
  • ~ 38 minutes to reach the philosophical statements
  • ~ 39 minutes to hear about deception – the universal “tell” of A.I. scammers
  • ~ 41 minutes if you’re prepared for tears: to lament what we’ve lost, what we so nearly had, what humanity is losing, what is being stolen from artists ¬

(I need some space.)


  1. I assure you this video is not about content farms, SEO or the death of search but one might be mistaken for thinking that, in the first half. Don’t. It is worth your patience. ↩︎

    Oh shit. New Freya dropped?! On AI?!?!?!

    Anything she uploads is well worth an hour or two of my time.

      I was introduced to Continuity of Splines last month. Never thought I would watch a 73 minute video on methods for drawing curves, but I did and I loved it.

        My favorite part of that video is the single moment of tone-shift when she describes how a point “yeets off to fucking nowhere”
