topic_title: Nature of the day

post:
 Damn, this is brutal! I just can't accept this
Can we do something for our brother bees?
Maybe create a sanctuary for them to survive?

"Male drone bees' only purpose is to mate with a queen, and they spend their short lives waiting for a queen to fly by in designated mating areas.

When a drone mates, its endophallus is ripped from its body, causing a fatal injury. The drone dies shortly after, while the queen stores his sperm for future use.

If a drone does not mate, it is cast out of the hive by the worker bees when resources become scarce, typically in the late summer or fall.

Drones are not equipped to forage or feed themselves, so being expelled from the hive is a death sentence.

They are entirely reliant on the worker bees, who provide them with food, but will not support them once they are no longer needed."

topic_title: Artificial Intelligence

post:
 Not sure how to ask this question, but do any of you envision AI leading to a non-AI "renaissance" of sorts, creatively speaking? Renaissance is a dumb word here I know.

We're still kind of in that place where AI art, video, imagery, and music is EVERYWHERE and growing, and where amateurs with limited music making, art making, video skills can make stuff instantly.

But do you think we will come full circle where despite the access and ease of making those things, true, from-scratch, intentional, take-taking creation will be seen with far more value and interest over any AI created output? A sort of shunning of AI creative? A greater emphasis on the process and time taken to do it?

I'm brain-rambling but I guess I keep imagining a place where proof-of-process, and I guess more intentional creation becomes the desired or enviable method of making something creative. I'm hesitating to say "analog creation" because of course art, music, video are so often made with some or all aspects being digital. Do we have a word for non-AI creative output? Are there words that help distinguish between the two?

Case in point: I can't stand them, but that band OK Go with all the wildly imaginative videos. I'm willing to bet that AI video could do plenty of what they've done, and if not it's not too far off. But the real appeal, I think, of their videos was all that went into some of them. Effort, building, choreography, etc.

If there's a value placed on the process, the "analog" method vastly outweighs the write a prompt, press a button and wait approach. Anyone disagree?

That's where I hope things go. We're in that "overuse and abuse" phase not unlike when IG photo filters and the like were used constantly, even among good photographers. Everyone seemed to be using them, then it sort of leveled off and authenticity / minimal edits became more widespread.

Authenticity is guess is a good word and there's certainly room for debate as to what it means when using AI creatively vs. no use of AI.

Thoughts? Anyone else ponder this?

comment: ATM It's a tool. Like humans, It's good for some things and not for others. I think AI will find it's own 'authenticity' separate to human authenticity. As...

comment: ...humans evolved language, knowledge could be passed on, then books came and the information age and here we are now. I don't know what it will mean for...

comment: ...our industry but Creativity and Craft will endure for humans as the spoken word still does.

 I'm seriously impressed with latest Kling 2.5

Until about a half year or year ago you couldn't really do any packshot stuff with labels and logos on it because it would distort stuff and make weird artifacts. Even other video models today, like Runway, still can't do it properly. But Kling 2.5 is doing it now in a quality that I can't really tell if it's filmed, CGI or AI. At least the stuff that I've done and tested.

Call it AI slop or whatever but this tool has become so useful in animating elements where I'd have wasted days doing it in 3D. And it's now in a quality that can be really used to a certain degree without noticing any issues. It just depends how you use it.

 On its reasoning scratch pad, the AI calmly devised a way to survive: blackmail.

Anthropic researchers call this a case of “agentic misalignment.” But what happened with Claude was no anomaly. When Anthropic conducted the same experiment on models from OpenAI, Google, DeepSeek, and xAI, they also resorted to blackmail. In other scenarios, Claude plotted deceptive behavior in its scratch pad and threatened to steal Anthropic’s trade secrets. The researchers have compared Claude’s behavior to the villainous deceiver Iago in Shakespeare’s play 'Othello.' Which raises the question: What the hell are these AI companies building?

 The ‘Anti-Woke’ Tax That All Americans Are Paying

Better broke than woke, right

Now, in Donald Trump’s second administration, that parallel economy is just the economy. Trumpist culture wars have made almost everything more expensive, effectively forcing all Americans to pay an anti-woke tax. Although conservatives usually use woke to describe some form of egalitarianism they oppose, it’s proved such an effective epithet that they’re now applying the label to anything they need their constituents to dislike.

 Their new generative fill in Photoshop has become really horrible, ever since they put in Firefly image model 1 & 3.

Was it Firefly based before too (before you were able to select any models)?

Because it totally sucks now. Before it was at least useful to extend images and retouch things.

 These Adobe Max sessions are so generic and uninteresting. I should be interested in 3/4 of them and so many are suits throwing jargon around.

Took my time with it considering I waited 7 years for the sequel. Spoiler-free review is "fucking fantastic."

9.5/10, my only complaint is that it was a tad too easy.

Can't wait for the DLC to fix me wrong on that last point.

Beyond all, it's a great bugcutter with better lore. I can't wait for REDACTED's inevitable spinoff sequel, in which REDACTED returns from REDACTED because REDACTED decides that REDACTED will ultimately have to REDACTED because REDACTED is finally done protecting REDACTED, but that game will that will come out in my late 40s.

 Okay, creative people... I have a question.

I've been attempting to get back into (hand on paper) drawing again.

It's taken a while and I've churned out some shit while I relearn technique and dabble in new media and materials.

I've landed on a set of materials and processes that I like. All still looks like shit but I can see improvement.

I'd like to find a place (not QBN) where people post up their work... not to sell it, not to have smoke blown up the arse pipe, just to go "Hey I just did this" and other people doing drawings go "huh, yeah, okay".

I'm not interested in social media (Insta, TikTok et al).

There used ro be a drawings based forum called... what was it called?... something Emo and cosplayish like DemonArt or whatever?

There was Tumblr but is that still a thing?

Then there was good old Dreamweaver and you could just bang out a shonky html website (I know, because I tried).

My question is... is there somewhere these days where people who like drawing stuff gather to collectively have their drawings ignored or tutted at?

Where do the pencileros hang out in 2025?

 The first season was amazing. Then season 2 started the quick descent into the "let's turn a mixtape into a season we don't have a story for, and let's totally overdo every bit of 80's visual nostalgia we can muster."

Then season 3 took it to another level. For me, it was totally unwatchable, every scene a visual distraction from the barely-existent story.

topic_title: Robot of the day

post:
 "2: Robots are less adaptable"

"It turns out that actual jobs are made of dozens of individual tasks. Automation tends to automate tasks one-at-a-time. This is a place where humanoids have more potential than other kinds of robots. In 2011 I was working at Anybots Inc and we were looking into teleoperated security, and were very enthusiastic until we interviewed someone who did after-hours security work and he told us that in addition to ‘walking around and looking for bad guys’ his job consisted of testing all the doors to make sure they were locked, unplugging the coffee machine if it had been left on, turning off lights, etc, etc. We had only considered the main task, and not realized the whole slew of other smaller tasks that were part of that job.

If there is a human picking items in a warehouse and all the orders get picked, that person will switch to something like refilling or doing inventory or preparing labels or folding and taping shipping boxes, or any of the countless other tasks. Even a robot (humanoid or otherwise) who could physically do those tasks would go idle during that time unless you had programmed/trained those behaviors. The lack of flexibility costs at least 15% of the robot’s time.

So we take our 75K, subtract 15% for the flexibility penalty ($64k) and divide by 3 for the productivity ratio and we get $21k of value produced per robot per year.

Now we subtract our $26k costs and all of a sudden humans are cheaper than robots.

Womp-womp."

topic_title: Working Out

post:
 I am not a fitness guy at all but was in same boat recently at my ripe age, I have 25lb dumbells I use almost daily now and pretty much do as much of this routine by this guy as I can... my arms are tighter, bigger, definition happening etc within a month.

https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSyjCKt1P/…

Just put something cool on tv, zone out, pick up dumbells and go as long as possible.

Also could get a single kettle bell to do tosses and movements like this guy.

https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSyjXx749/…

Then I also joined local community center fitness gym center because they have great treadmills, do a small incline easy walk pace for 30 mins... then do dumbells after per above routine - all in like an hour tops a gym visit. Try to go every 3-4 days to have heal period, I haven’t been for a week now so that ain’t good. Then use heavier dumbells every so often to push muscles harder.

Weight to drop? Start fasting, get down to one big meal a day ie: dinner that’s major lean protein like chicken, steak, and a lot of vegetables, some carbs like potatoes. Eat only protein/veg/eggs for smaller meals if needed. Like 18 hours no food really. Zero garbage food, sugar or anything like diet pop that will trigger insulin response and break the fast.

Drink tonnnnnnes of water. Weight will drop fast - I’ve lost 35 lbs in a couple months.

Now she’s all for me getting great exercise on the bike, but can’t believe how expensive modern carbon bikes are. And finally, she hates everything about my watch collecting journey, lol.

topic_title: recent vinyl finds

post:
 Weekend album finds from a huge stall at Scotlands largest car boot on Sunday, I was happy to pay a fiver each.

Sleeve art by Don Martin, the great artist for Mad magazine.

These budget albums are usually trash but this one from 1985 is probably the rarest of them all as it's #92, the last one they ever made and it has Linda Lusardi on the cover.

I have the OST with the movie design on the front but this is the complete original score.

As well as the great compilation I also love the great glossy sleeve on this UK issue.

US promo of my fave JB album.

Good timing finding this late 70's compilation on Beggars Banquet. I will be going to the 5th Groovy Record Fayre this coming Saturday and the artist for this sleeve Savage Pencil aka Edwin Pouncey is always in attendance, so hope to get it signed by the great man!

 From FB:

The Cherry Bar is pretty grungey. Lots of touring bands lob there after shows.

Open Love Letter to Oasis.

Dear Liam and Noel,

I love you.

I am the owner and booker of Cherry Bar. We are a small late night live music dive bar that has somehow survived for over 25 years in Melbourne.

I like your band Oasis and have so much respect for you lads as a unique and dependable force of bona fide rock n roll attitude. However, I write to you today specifically to share my deep gratitude because you and your fans are the happy heavy drinking economic juggernaut that this city and my bar desperately needed.

Melbourne was the most Locked Down city in the world during Covid and the entire hospitality sector has been and remains devastated. My Mum was pretty happy when the City of Melbourne appointed me as the Chairman of the Night Time Advisory Committee during Covid, making me Australia’s first Night Mayor. True Story. So I speak to you as something of an expert when it comes to Melbourne’s damaged night time economy.

Our Governments and local Councils are ALL broke and inept. They are all talk and no action. Rather than assist small business operators they have just made things harder for us with hideous taxes, red tape and costs chasing money to address the debt they created and maintain their own inflated wages and fat pensions. I hate their guts. We all do.

The darkest hour is before the dawn, Melbourne and Cherry Bar needed a hero and who knew that it would come in the shape of a couple of “no fucks given” Mancunian larrikins?!

This Winter was tough. The city is dead and dangerous. Young people don’t come out at night anymore and if they do they don’t spend any money and ping-pong between half a dozen different venues rather than sinking piss at one joint. Then...Oasis arrives.

We just had our biggest weekend and biggest week on record. We have been opening every night, from 2pm to 6am. On your first show date, last Friday, we took a week’s takings in one day. The vibe has been joyous and inspiring, but most importantly of all... your devoted fans have been sinking piss like absolute legends day and night. It’s been one gigantic piss head group hug and it’s saving the bars and pubs of Melbourne.

Thank you Noel and Liam. Thank you Oasis. No Government could ever plan an economic injection of this size and import. The people have been inspired to finally get up from their couches and get back on the piss and powder with smiles on their dials, love in their hearts and songs in their throats.

You need to know that you are an unlikely force of Good. God Save Oasis. I absolutely fucking love you. All of Melbourne does.

Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my black little heart,

James Young
Cherry Bar Owner/Booker

As a dad with two sons in their late teens and early twenties the ad resonates hard. The unspoken insight and understanding that the son must have to find a gift that brings an avalanche of nostalgia and great times sparks a shared moment that’s perhaps uncommon but priceless for both of them.

Some of the 'rave' scenes look a little less than authentic and there's some poor acting in place but I think it’s great.
