  • Economic viable mass produced “art” made with the intention of grabbing money was always shit. Before and after AI.

    If new uninspired blockbuster gets done with AI instead of incredibly bad and uninspired human resources is of no consequence to the art I enjoy.

    Good inspired art doesn’t need to be economically viable in a capitalistic system, and many times is not. Before and after AI.

    People with something to express will always be doing it. There will be always someone wanting to make a handcrafted opera, and if it’s good it will always find its public. I do artistic expression myself, I get no revenue whatsoever, and I have no intention of stopping doing it. Because it’s not about money, it’s about self expression.









  • I recently went on a hunt for a cheap good offbrand controller. I bought several from gamesir 8bitdo and easysmx, and ended up landing on the gamesir cyclone 2. It’s quite good, though not perfect, because the ergonomics are not 100% my style, but it was my best option overall. I think it was like 50€.

    Before that I was using the 30€ range controllers from easysmx and for their price they were good but only lasted a couple of years because stick drift.

    I tried 8bitdo because everyone talked so good of them, but I didn’t like the ergonomics, that’s 100% personal though, the controller itself was good.

    I also read about the Vader 4 controllers, which has good reviews but never tried it.












  • Captcha.

    It does all Anubis does. If a scrapper wants to solve it automatically it’s computer intensive, they have to run AI inference, but for the user it’s just a little time consuming.

    With captchas you don’t run aggressive software unauthorized on anyone’s computer.

    Solution did exist. But Anubis is “trendy” and they are masters in PR within some specific circles of people who always wants the lastest most trendiest thing.

    But good old captcha would achieve the same result as Anubis, in a more sustainable way.

    Or at least give user an option of running or not running the challenge and leave the page. And make clear for the user that their hardware is going to run an intensive task. It really feels very aggressive to have a webpage to run basically a cryptominer unauthorized in your computer. And for me having a cargirl as a mascot does not forgive the rudeness of it.
