Bonus: Superfluous Certainties (Bonus After Show)

I'm ready to do it. The only thing worse than not working at all is not working and then trying to make me feel like a fucking dingling because you didn't know what to do. If we put you don't have to have a microscope, all you really need is your eyes to go like, well, a company's a company. And I'm not saying go force your kid to be on Instagram and become a kid fluencer or whatever, but like this is how people talk to each other now. No, here's the the only point is this. And sometimes it does it and sometimes it doesn't. She's very good. I've seen it as a lot of things. He said, What kind of sauce did you make for the green beans? It's about Candy Darling. I'm anti-fucking hearing about. Like I throw out a fuck ton of stuff because it's wrong.

We're not talking about that. To use it to improve my writing? Uh, um, who did? The Tempest lays bare all of our prepackaged ideas and forgetfulness of what nourishes our people's souls. We'll put it in show notes Friday, 27 March, 2020. I'd like to do it. And you so go blah blah blah blah. Would all be less mad about this if you were as good at it as I am. Um oh this is i i or inside space. Um say that again, 'cause that's not an interesting thing. Four. You know? Yeah, these guys are are are horrible people. Jessamine, like the uh she's um she she was a the b the big moderator at Metafilter for a while. and then I actually have something to say and I realize it's more than a paragraph, I try to think about how I could turn that into something where lots of people could read it and get something from it.

Yeah That's up there with Robert Caras working in terms of like things that could be really helpful to people. Well, I I like I I I joke that's a good thing. You know, yeah, yeah, and like genuinely like the the uh vibe is a huge was a huge, huge fucking deal. and talking about something they're referring to here as a storm. Okay. Which is not what it is, but you know what I mean. My family made it very clear to me that I am never to send them any images of themselves in image playground format. Like imagine his body curving like a crescent. Well not with the so there's there's No You see Billy uh Billy is a ranger at Alcatraz because my son was a ranger. I joke because I have bits and like I gotta be an online personality, but I love that about I love Egg?

Oh, I made a cuts on playlist just for No! I th I think it might have been twenty eighteen then. They changed it so that you could no longer control your ring alarm with your voice and run. or photographs of my TV screen with Siri being a fucking nanny state. And if there is Really? And but the most annoying response is, uh come on, we're not gonna bring like it would try to make some kind of a joke and like Max said, and I continue to believe like tr trying to play tropical fuckstorm. as part of their identity. To tell me stupid things. God, what's another one? this week. And I learned a ton. And most of these guys are making like six million dollars. to be our inspiration for doing things correctly.

Unless you want to really change your life. And I'm like, okay, buddy, that doesn't make too much sense, but I mean you're making a really good chatbot and you're not, you know, making your employees' lives Hussein and that's really important. Well, uh I'm very related to the Pope passing away. Yeah, I'm like, well this one didn't say that I should burn in hell and hate myself. Faith is vibe. Uh you let your kid be online in a way that like before it wa uh like he had to be online. Ch we we are publicly posting and it really was like just for like the the five of us, but most adults aren't uh like No, no, no. And then Lockheed, this dragon, comes screeching through a glass window, like a shatters a window and goes after the bad guy.

And here's the first one it gave me, which I was already this is the one I thought looked a little like Love and Rockets. Life on the Screen, Identity in the Age of the Internet from 1997. Oh god, uh librarian um uh no I know I had the visceral reaction as if like um uh it almost like a sibling thing. It's like it's you know soy sauce and oyster sauce and a tiny bit of sherry and sherry turquoise and um and um there's oh avocado oil. I think if I wanted to be a clearer writer that reached new people, I've done this. This is just going to be a theme from now on. It's like, yeah, you think it's weird that I like I want to play as a girl? I don't say it as much anymore because it's not uh to quote Casey Liss, the great Casey Liss, that juice ain't worth the squeeze.

I don't get enough benefit out of the catharsis of using the R word twice a year to use it because not because it's wrong, not because of a woke agenda, but because we have to learn to minimize the times we either unnecessarily to stop being unnecessarily hurtful, especially if it doesn't benefit anybody. And that bothers me. Just d I'm not calling you homosexual, I'm just saying act stop acting like a but that's so hurtful to somebody. Like how I can have it do do stuff with huge amounts of data and munge all of this stuff into the kind of charts and things that I want and outport export it as JSON and all this stuff that's not very sexy to talk about. And mean it. But anyway, he um yeah, and I was just I was I'm I'm pleased that he liked that analogy.

fucked me up or l like um it I felt it more than I thought and and so did a lot of my um uh like I had the exact same thought Alex. Adult like there's a there's the joke that like all um adult Catholic converts are weirdos, uh but like It is JD Vobin's honestly a only a cop I I um that actually I looked into the guy who was on um what's next the slate show because Uh she mentioned. But I didn't realize he was uh he converted to Catholicism and I'm almost like, oh fuck a normal one. Stuff like that. Oh with the w and I saw you thanked Brooke for mentioning it. Because it's always go look at some of the other previous gold we got in here from Alex. So here's the thing. And you said Rob is the embodiment of the Chicago suburbs.

But I feel like I just want to be really clear. I don't see time. Maybe that it I not do. It shows us how we have allowed to become dull and feeble the very things that nourish, sustain, and strengthen our lives and our communities. Isn't that a wonderful I don't know if you so you hadn't seen this, right? As we all know from Conclave, that when you bring the cardinals together, well those a lot of those cardinals were The Catholic shit happens. multiple times he couldn't stop saying uh fagotre, which is technically like an Italian f s f slur uh for uh homosexual men Oh like a for crazy and and but he what he was saying was an old man version Look at the Oh, Classic. And then tell 'em. I've uh never seen the one uh or I've never seen the colored uh one.

Pain face chart for doctors. I'm thinking about moving to video format just so I can have templates because it drives me crazy that I have to recreate the wheel every week. At least now you can do a long press on plus to go straight to photos. It was like, oh, I hope this isn't as bad as we th think it. It it's not even fun. I think I feel this uh uh I want you know me I was wanted I I w wanted But many always open to new stuff like this. feel like they have to scoop up something that's actually good. Devices. false weird fires and like you gotta scream to turn something off or just abandon my existence, which is a joke but not a joke, which is why is it I can't get this fucking thing to do anything I want, but whenever I touch it to dust The AirPod, no matter how I hold just on the sides, no matter what, it always starts playing me like a pavement song.

This might be a challenge, but I have an old Echo show. Maybe it was 2016. Pretty stringent early day challenges like just use your voice for a weekend or something. best uh uh because I um all i have kind of always been all in on Siri um I oh this Script or whatever you call it. Go play it. And say find tropical fuckstorm on YouTube. Fucking I was furious. Buy some buy something that lets me, you know, already Chat GPT is like slur I I'm I'm just feeding it, giving it fucking everything. better like uh for m for me at least yeah no like ch at everything uh uh the chat GPT is like the best at you know if you're gonna have one dingus that that's the thing. But like, oh you know, what are you gonna do?

Appearance necessarily, but great. Uh I mean like ta talking about the um unrealistic optimism of of meet me and uh early like that the th this could be interesting and in all fairness an anthropic like uh i i'm still not convinced dariusmode is like an evil guy like he He's got a pretty crazy name. But listen, if we make the good one, it will m mean that other companies also do each other. race to the top does sound like an effective altruist-ish type thing. act. I yeah, and mine would be the same like make sure your neighbors have food and still uh you know, go to the Do you remember this? Which kind of sounds like your recipe. They're not really saying anything interesting to make anything weird or it's not has nothing.

part of it. have much better emotional regulation and executive function than yep so many people that are older than them. It's sort of like just the whole idea of screen time. Friend and like Texas way healthier than when we like uh web two point oh me me and my friends like we were only fri Like y you were online before most people and an earl early adopter. Oh yeah, I really don't want my kid to like look at eating disorder tips on in Instagram. She what does she know? And um she's terrific. It's so much more fun because it as we saw last week if you ask for a painting of Emma Corin and Rami Malik Sitting in an empty room staring into the middle distance, it will give you a painting that super looks like those two people.

It's super clean. Now, I did that, then I had to turn that into a prompt, and like an idiot, of course, I left in references. And I I ask it in all kinds of different styles and I said, Reimagine this in the style of Paul Smith's comics And it I got the thing. But in that one, eventually I said, and I just this prompt was, it made me so happy. Trying it on some just saying, hey, give me a three-panel page uh in in that that style or blah-de-blah. And just that little bit of a dip in her eyebrows made me think of that famous Paul Smith frame. Just this sentence. And I'm like, well, uh as soon as I'm both very attracted to her as a charismatic person and very terrified of her. Huh. I was thinking about this today and we joke but I don't know.

But as long as it's to talk about as a thing and not just 'cause you're doing an enough obligation to promote it I wanted to respond to this very nice person who I think you might know from the internet who'd written to me. And it was this person talking about having had an experience with ChatGPT that led to what they would call a moment of grace, which is a phrase people use, is a phrase I've used. I'm a fan of yours. is I fucking hate hearing about other people's sexual experiences. of that. About how ChatGPT is stupid and these images are stupid. When you're constantly telling people that that's not correct, that's not true, that's not real. Every adult has to have filtering and critical faculties to get through the day in a sane way.

And you got so little from it. doesn't hurt anybody. Generating images and how it's making Mr. uh about the authenticity of these companies and the product that they make and doesn't that feel just a little bit JK Rowling? Aren't these issues that you think about and deal with and fucking deal with? I went through because I'd sent it to a friend of mine who hosts a national newscast and we had a nice conversation about that essay. Nate um Bargetzsi interview for the New York Times, but like you can work clean and be just as funny and you can avoid But I was I kind of wanted to say, yeah s I'm sorry, I know this kind of sucks right now. After Vatican II. in some way or other to having a very strong opinion about Vatican II, which is completely understandable.

Uh no, I saw I saw that. The trade-off is not there. and uncovers those false and superfluous certainties around which we have constructed our daily schedules, our projects, our habits, and our priorities. But instead proving capable of puttis putting us in touch with our roots and keeping alive the memory of those who've gone before us, we deprive ourselves of the antibodies we need to confront adversity. Really? Because wow is that ever a fucking power pack of a of a of a paragraph. He yes. And uh he did. And he was well and he was also dragging the clock. of basically there's too the the church has too many pussies. two weeks. Well, but th the thing with image playgrounds was no one was excited.

W uh I uh see uh now you're all I almost did bring up a tech uh headline because of the like Siri, Apple intelligent like it's no it's the aftershow, it's okay. Lady in a tube product, right? Mm-hmm. um i which i which is claude not google is a public uh public benefit corporation which is very different than uh um a non profit, like it's it's not lying and saying we don't wanna make money. basically be like, hey, no uh w we overrule you investors because it's objectively evil, basically, which is a c a cool thing. That was the Pope one. ethics or moral rectitude. But like uh there's this whole like his whole thing is like a race to the uh top where it's like, okay, if we make uh it which is also kind of a it's I uh I I have started to just put it into my mind like, okay, if the revolution came tomorrow and capitalism is gone, like how would you Uh if this were I mean if you look at it in terms of the classic like whatever three tiers of society, like I I would definitely be in the gulag A part I ju uh just the bullshit that we talk about and uh not like if you don't have things to be w what would you do if you didn't have things to be mad about on the internet?

put you in the you the the girl with the dragon. um the uh people who are enthusiastic about AI in the way that I'm I'm not um a huge fan of. Like the one that they made and showed was like, oh, it's a reporter. a little orange bottle of medicine of pills and a can of seltzer. Okay, if faith is anything Faith is vibe. you know, a I don't even want to say a blah blah a answer. simply because they don't have the experience at the same time in the same order of events. You know, it's like saying you can't go to the library because I heard they have one bad book there. Uh they really l the the the posters aren't like having fun in the group chats most of the time, which bums me out. Uh you in particular and uh uh yeah, you in particular, but also just the like kind of like early adopter-ish nerds who uh Pride as Khaleesi uh with um No, she she uh Kitty Pride, uh which is the character's name, and she's a girl in Chicago.

so often now. Um but even if I see I can't tell you how often I because I Caravaggio is one of my favorite painters and I'll say like can you do this in the style of Caravaggio? So this is really quickly just how I how I accidentally backed up into this image that I like a lot. Yes. And like even if you don't know much about a X-Men, you might have heard that phrase at some point. To my eye looked more like say Love and Rockets, maybe. Looks a little bit like Chris Samney a little bit, another artist I like a lot. The oh interesting. Cambridge, Massachusetts. Um simulation. It's Oh sure. um uh l libraries and lm s stuff like oh my god it's it's phenomenal. I have a huge crush on one of Quinn's friends now.

Oh yes. Yes. Yeah. Oh yes. Yes. Um, do you get why I sent it to you? And so it was kind of, yeah, it was like a little bit of a flex about, yeah, have you listened to Jacqueline Dupree this year? About a trans person. Mm-hmm. Who you're becoming, right? I lied to all those points I just struggled to make in this quiet voice. how normative they sound when they talk about a lot of stuff that doesn't seem like a third rail. Mm-hmm. But that's unintentionally hurtful to a lot of people and I don't get a lot of benefit from it. Like unintentionally or unnecessarily harm other people. is another kind of new shibleth at this point. Why don't you just go out against accessibility stuff too? There is a that I uh I just wrote for my friend a few friends and I about the I typed part of a sentence to you two days ago and then I didn't send it.

Um I don't know enough to even make a reference. Or it's completely unhelpful about what this is, why you sent it to me, and what I should do differently as a result. The problem is already here. Francis Cardinals. Really? At at least you know, messages at the time. The family room, which we don't use for Siri things, and the one in the kitchen. Well, that as as we've talked about, uh, I hope at least most people are like decoupling themselves from Appleby Corporation. Do you want a juice box, honey? immigration law or for any causes or the for that matter the fucking Democratic Party and now you're my hired guns to do half a billion dollars in free bullshit for me. Oh, I don't like Delta. Uh uh that's that's fun.

you know, capitulate two things and a basically a cutting deals to become hitmen for Donald Trump to do pro b stop doing pro bono work for like So Sav and I were listening to old Roboism episodes from 2014. Almost sounds a little bit like uh true as it d it d it does, but the the idea like hell or becoming a billion. The Oh yes. Do. Are you that generic in your own mind, dude? They're uh not, you know, telling me I'm a bad person, which is always a good place to start. Uh oh, oh interesting. Yeah. issue where she says something like, oh Lockheed, you're the best ex-dragon ever. And it gave me that. So this is this is the uh sleep image on my Kindle now. I al I also miss going to Disney World.

The I I it was so fun meeting all of uh her college friends. Oh Wik Wikipedia is um I don't know what to do without it. Yeah, I mean I'm not sure. To this, I recently described this as this new obsession with what is quote real and what is quote true. I'm carrying water for a normative message. saying terrible things about people and still sound smart. a short uh series uh John Dickerson did called Naval Gazing, which where you're gonna be a very good thing. it will be something like uh well actually oh almost all of them it'll it will it's either a an encounter with a Jesuit order Yes, but also extremely progressive. And I'm sure because I'm not sure. And it's somebody seeking to console others by talking about what it means to live in difficult times.

I mean there's a there's some chance. And it was just and then he just kept it. And at least stickers there was more like you had more control with the other. Oh I think that's one of them my now just egg. Just because I I I got less. But I've you see my s my photos, right? But you still like, you know, remember the comic about the oh and yet you still you know what I mean? Worse than Apple and because and and that's a stupid question, but they were s a stupid person and tried They used to call them one white shoe law firms, these big companies in New York and DC. Number three, midnight amendment. uh th this guy should start with a random dude like him just talking to queer kids and uh being like hey what do you think about the church blah blah blah and of course like he gives a I th think it is a mix of COVID and I think that um there was also a sweet spot of um being on knew what was an internet boogeyman and what could have been like something that it would be emotionally damaging, like And a scale.

I think I u am wrong about what I read because it's called Astounding X-Men Colin Gifted. What's amazing in this new uh this new era of uh Chat E G is whatever they changed recently. So then I did the trick that everybody knows now. So you've seen this, I said, give the shirt a central image of a severe-looking bald man with highly arched eyebrows, under it the word jerk in all caps, in a font like Cooper Black. Oh yes, I know it's a good thing. That's creepy. potentially w some what I do sometimes. the worst thing in the world for me. But I still say that to people all the time. I'm going to anonymize this. And feel like, you know, I mean, and I do it. But but then I realized, dude, when you say that, you're kind of telling people who have a very tentative relationship.

But a great example is the R-word. I'm just worried, concern bummed, that we're getting close to a point where talking about authenticity. But I think we have I we'll speak for others. We're at that point, we're about two sentences away from you're not a real woman economics way, which is ask yourself about cost benefit analysis. The word that we used to use that I've used until as recently as a few years ago, just because I didn't mean it that way. I'm grateful that you've let me have some kind of I'm I'm glad that you've put up with me in a world that I am utterly unequipped. to understand based on my priors and I'm grateful to anybody who takes a minute to fucking walk me through what an unintentionally shitty human I'm being.

Yes, you'll see that the flightless bird link and comment uh on it, those were sent at 1024 a. Yeah, commit commitment the the nice way you said it. I really am in a constant state of four. In a way like somebody like Mike Hurley, like I mean I'd agree with everything you think or say, but I love that both of you have so much enthusiasm for the world of possibility. Um what are other ones? I asked someone recently, I'm like, wait, wait, wait. still the morale I I I don't know, the relative moralism of the case. I think it was on the I'm so up my ass about so many things. That's one of my all-time favorite ex experiences slash image making with ChatGPT for reasons that are not at all apparent from the image.

You know what? It's giving impulsions. That is ChatGPT trying to draw up my f I have two favorite X-Men. Um I said God create a comic panel, a clean, expressive 1980s style. Isn't that a sad and look how the frame of the panel is behind the dragon's wing. I'm gonna do this one more time. any special compunction about marketing what I do to strangers. On the right day, I would argue I would did it better than a lot of people. putting quite so much shit deliberately in your face and to feel so constantly drawn back to a tech or political headline that makes you feel something for a few seconds. And that becomes valuable, right? initially what I thought was just a really heavy-handed and dumb analogy for uh queerness and l the various tech shaming.

And I'm just eternally grateful to you for that. Oh it was it was public. JD Vivance, that's not funny. Ah God, it's uh it it's like the m m uncanny Pixar Valley. The uh the the the w God, there was another like, oh I that was rude is I d I don't know why it just I it Cardori. What would be different? But mine was really good. rr um a reflexively emotional response to fucking everything. And there there just seems like a mix of if you were online enough at a time when your kid uh uh or uh Uh issue. Oh, Figman. unambiguous message. But not really. The are are you talking about when I went to When you realize you're in the shower and you like realized why you're unhappy. No, no, no, no. with a partner who's had serious neurological stroke-related problems and stuff.

The the the right? I uh I'm dumb, but I'm not simple. I'm that little yellow guy, I think. That's Yep, yep. Alex, I don't know if it's just me using it less or falling out of practice, but I swear to God, when I say these things have become ungovernable, I've unplugged all of my I used to have I try so hard. It's okay if it does. Whenever uh uh I see a generated image, what I immediately find interest I'm like, what does and most people who make generated quote, you know, art or whatever uh No, no, no, no, no, no. With being that person, you're kind of telling them that they're bad and dirty. So let me ask you, all you friends of mine who consider yourselves such allies for so many people, have you ever thought for half a second about how the shit you say?

Really? And not and not just do it for s for dunks, but to like actually go like not even the usual alas people, but the the sort of like, hey, you know, that dude, you don't have to do that. order more liberal would be Francis there's really not that many Franciscans left because how the So I can see Friar Tuck, Friar Tuck from Robin Hood, up there in some little shorts. Yeah, it's okay. six AirPod minis in the house. I I but see mine's old and I'm like, I bet I bet I can break this. You say hey Dingus, and probably the I gotta say, like I am fully committed to play from the beginning. And look if you said hey Siri Citizen Kane, it has enough of whatever Oh no. Apart from supporting that terrible company.

It's like, well, he didn't change anything, any laws or d d doctrine. Right. I am So Sherry Turkle is some is a is a professor at MIT. Even if it was completely yes. That uh I Jessamine West, the librarian, has a page on Wikipedia. Oh man, you uh you didn't that information was stolen. But they're also v yeah, okay. Hey audience. That's what I've just thought in my I looked this up because I had had to remember this. um wiki. M most kids I know I uh actually don't also aren't like poster like they're that we think of like as as posters. Um that is an artist named Paul Smith who worked on X-Men in the early 80s and he drew like I really love this guy's style. And and you know what? Well th and she has this made this whole entire index of uh Did you know Jessimel from the internet?

Eventually, I think uh w once the discourse uh uh cal calms down, um Quinn should come talk to us about Yeah, librarian. Said Holden Caulfield to no one to protect. And dys uh morphia? Right? You sent me a link. In the club, in the club. Just some in the library. Candy says, I've come to hate my body and all that it requires in this world. Oh, I got Mr. On our right is a skinny oval for the eye on the person's right, and the other one is like a line and a greater than symbol for their closed left eye. He's giving he's giving father. I'm not gonna get into this. Honey, honey, you're I'm so glad you enjoyed your very, very large breakfast. They yeah, they do. How do I put this? Dumb, right? Is he really the first Jesuit Pope?

I got really distracted trying to find photos of Conclave. Well in the sense of like everyone w is here's the no, here's the thing. Um, I had two in our bedroom, one in the bathroom, one in the hallway, one in the kitchen. A shadow cat, an aerial, but usually people just call her by Kitty Pride. From the extraordinary moment of prayer presided over by the Pope, it was basically a COVID-related sort of address right at the beginning of COVID. We're talking about like when you constantly bring up when you constantly try to make everything about your own standards for what's true and what's real. He does it charmingly. I think I mean maybe still I never thought he was funny at all. Number two, species reveal party.

Okay, that's good. If you just Google Paul Smith, X Men or and you'll see like he does my favorite Colossus. Figman was so cute. And I'm not saying don't criticize these companies. Oh. I am emotionally gambling on him. And then and then tell them which tell them can I read aloud the one, two, three, four, five, six. Uh it turned out no one wanted to use them. I would everything with house would play house music for me. So I'm like, yeah, Siri, fucking like g burn it. Um oh, uh This American Life. Wait. What's funny, an old thing that's still a thing, is sometimes asking for something in a specific style of art, even if it's very, very old, it still won't do. But that had a really big I don't know the word for it, but what you described there, and I kept thinking of that wonderful song.

You talked about how like in your own video game and yeah, you get to pick your class maybe. And I think we all need to start watching that. Oh you're getting to the oh Is there anything there? No shit. And you know who wrote it. Um I don't want to talk about the Echo Show. So I had to write me this a prompt and eventually, eventually, I got it laundered enough that it was generating some pretty cool looking images that And I was like, first of all, that dragon, it should be purple, but whatever. Um next week I wanna uh ask you about your post. It's about depression. I I have to say that. What do you remember it being associated with? And it was basically like when I leave, when I say heading out or whatever, if I could finally get it to get a phrase that it didn't And they're like, Yeah, I know the situation.

The the what next one? I don't like United. Okay, so so you know what? Yeah. They did. Yuck. Well that's a again, this is this is the fantasy world of like uh whatever someone's fantasy utopia is, like what what would you do differently? But um that that Obama's gonna leave office and that he uh they heard he has he's he he started a new thing called the Midnight Amendments. Make a panel featuring a teenage girl with long curly hair and an adorable dragon on her shoulder. And um that became like two puzzle pieces clicking together for me when you said that. Even if it's just a video game. Ask me how often I've asked it to write anything for me or fix anything for me. John? And then somebody goes, Yeah, but they've already seen the name of the episode, so you don't need to tell 'em what it's about.

You know what I'm saying? Um, the Velvet Underground song. He's got yeah, he's got a weird name that I can't pronounce. It begins with Kitty, it's so beautifully done, kind of Jack Kirby. Give this shirt a central image of a severe-looking bald man with highly arched eyebrows. Yeah. Miyazaki sad. And here's what this person said in March of 2020. It won't let you even th the fuck ups that I normally find really charming in generated stuff. I love hearing a show like that where it's not just like, here's a 20-minute podcast because it's a weekday. I mean, there are a bunch of extremely successful lawyers. Oh I know how you'd act. Sometimes it does it and sometimes it won't. Oh, hello. Like if you were ma married to Tim if you were married to Slips, Fredi and Slip.

net. Okay. I do have a Mr. Like there's always- No, I don't think this does. You've got to use companies that are for-profit companies that make decisions that don't align with everything you believe in. You're gonna cancel your ATT and go with Verizon and that's gonna be like a lot better? First of all, mine looked fucking exactly like me. Like I don't need more str nor more people misunderstanding or misapprehending or half understanding what I'm I I just don't need any more of that. Good luck. I'm data refining in that new app right now. This is after writing to me about David Farrier. He was like, well, he didn't. Where I took a in this case a landscape image and made it look good and square, thanks to Acorn.

What's it what's his damage? You don't mind. Like anything that uh you couldn't play any music that had cursing. More so it put me it I was thinking, all right, what did Merlin say to make this? But she's and she's so charismatic and but like also she just seems like oh man, I think she hates me. But you know what, I realize it doesn't need it. Oh no, you've made me a motion. Oh, I thought that was private. So we have a challenge. Did I send you Billy Billy as a ranger? Oh. Well because I just say this thing that I everything I say to her sounds so stupid because she's becoming more and more like a normal grown-up and I'm becoming less and less like one. And like I say, that's like that's like giving your kid rectangle time.

That's it. Actually we should make sure that it's the scale's not too you're so big. It was so cute when the guy would walk around with the puppet. They they really love free information and they love finding shit. Do I know if it's all wrong? Mm-hmm. And it's got these really funny you know what they look like, honestly, for better or for worse? And here's the here's here's the here's the bottom line and why I'm s why I'm interrupting you to say this relates. And do you remember they had this bit um where they were talking about how how you know because Barack Obama, Barack Hussein of Obama, people a lot of people forget to have the Does that put you in the mind of anybody that like a character or a fictional character, you know?

I could have done that. It's kind of about chip. Nope, that's con uh that's conclave. Nice. I'm just gonna say that I'm very impressed with a lot of generation, my kids' age, who have such a less Like there's just no, come on. Um here's here's the three midnight amendments of Barack Obama. I'm it's okay if people don't see my stuff. And I realized I I still think it's very funny to say I feel like I'm having a stroke. Yuck. Maybe we need to stop and like at least live with the idea that we use and really must use mostly Oh, see, I've I've only read like the Joss Wheated run of X-Men. Yeah, you ever heard of something called a reference librarian? Did I steal I'm gonna stolen this from you then?

He's a really he was a really like a good guy though, is the thing. Okay. You know what? And there you go, that's the full one. You don't mind the series kind of a trash is kind of a trash fire? I mean si it's gonna participate we are well no no we Pack a lunch. Oh I thought it was f maybe it was followers only. It's not impossible. Well, but wait, but wait, I'm almost I I'm so mad about everything. But is it so recently? I don't like American. That is fun. Yeah, and and also the um remember the I'm deliberately stupid. And she and Nightcrawler are my two favorite X-Men. I think that's problematic to you. Didn't Quinn go to school near Boston? And I said, Do you care? Yeah. I mean, isn't that kind of it?

He's such a handsome cursor. Um he he talked about the Oh the the Papa Papa thing guy. Ooh, I like these mmm JD Vivance. I got I mean I was getting so little from Siri to have it then also include No, but I agree with you. Which you can't I mean like these kids today, you can't even tell them how we're still God go look at fucking Opus Day. This was in context. And it's funny because I almost did write you about about the the Texas Cheesecake Depository. So my best of friends are Fouguese. Yes. You know, half half circle. And and search with voice. I really liked it. Are you that generic? Yes, here we go. It's my plea, my low-key, but admittedly shrieking plea for you people to stop. And not even for practical reasons.

So all you really need to know for context is that talking about, you know, hey, a storm's coming and it's not optional. And if that became three million dollars, we hope they'd still be able to squeak by. But at least the way they sort of set it up as like we want to keep this from destroying society. I don't care what it is. There's not there's uh not even necessarily order. It's not very colorful, but here's two options I made from Mr. You're unusual, that's you, right? Oh yes, this is what I want to mention. I like I've met Jessamine. Can I ask just as a teaser though, think uh did did you did you rather than saying did you like it? The way that we talk about, you know, I mentioned before fake news.

I'm not asking you to go worry about a wok agenda. I realize he probably did not sit there with a quill pen and write this. That's a subtle point. The next two I like. It was like we're gonna make this uh it's a whole ecosystem. It's it's about it's about feeling like you're in a trough. And it's like, oh my fucking God. Is that even possible? Sorry, I thought that was private. I'm not gonna participate in it online, but it I'm I'm not hating it. Actually, I feel like this is gonna derail us just 33 minutes, but I just want to give you some context for this. She's, oh my god, this amazing queer librarian. What bums me out is they don't see it. Mm-hmm. Can we go out on something I'm going to give you a quick reading series?

Let me see what it says. What was the one that played? I said in great detail, please describe the visual style of Paul Smith's work on X-Men Comics. Something you and I have not talked about a lot. Oh interesting. Right? It I I agree. Where I say like play dieh I say um hey Siri die Hard. Um they they can tell you to make sandwiches for a while and then eventually you would become a sandwich. I left it the way I did because it was a fun writing exercise. I, you know, but do you see what I mean though? I dunno, I miss it. Yeah, the good the good kind of pussy. You gotta You gotta modulate your response to the stupidity of the person. You know? Um but I am thrilled at how bad Siri is because Like remember Siri was I'm being self-involved in looking at something that I wanted to send you and I'm gonna send that but and I'll explain to you why I think I'm better at this than other people Sort of like the way the president has a role in picking judges.

In some ways it's almost too close. I thought it was gonna be silkworm. I was surprised. Well, I just think that a a a girl in this game might be more fun. I'm not trying to I'm not trying to make this a starving African child. But here's n no, i I this is wrong because messages Yes. Uh no, none of that stuff. I love the key uh it y it still did it until I think iOS eighteen. Come on. I totally agree with you. Um we did a bunch of voice challenges. It's certainly about the struggles and depression. I don't care how wholesome or unwholesome it is. And it and even if I say it, it's John Zercuser, you could like be cool with that and like figure out I'm just being silly. I was like, maybe. Okay, so manipulate data and me be prepared to talk about um that's fine.

Seven, just so y'all know, is really bad. No, that was my own fault. I don't like any of the airlines except for maybe Virgin America. Like, okay, if you're not sure, move fast and break things that don't matter to me. Aren't there just people you want to you're missing my point. Yeah, you see her page at MIT. Not always in the moment, but tell me how that's different from literally any other part of life. Because you don't need it. I know, I I don't know. I'm more confident. Oh a little sting. It's just bad. Which is like that that's cool. Gotta hail stupid form. Sort of. This is the man that I still one of my favorite story like about the Pope. Like he was saying l basically like pussies in the vaginal sense or in terms of the commitment and encouragement.

I do like Secret Cardinal. And for ever, that's been really great at doing a YouTube search. Here's a 21-second sample of Jessamine West's voice. I I I I think you're one of the few. Uh something's gonna make me cry. It uh uh Oh, this is in context of Flightless Bird by David Furrier. That's why I did it. So why is chat GPT or sorry, why is open AI Oh yeah, the Chow Papa. Uh the like God Alex, why do you still uh I like identify with Catholicism and why did you like this Pope? And you're like, no, this is how people talk now, guys I bought the theme. I'll take that point. I'm not I'm not I'm not chiding anybody. I'm not saying I mean I there's no point in even saying this. It feels good to me to write it.

Oh, and also but all and they're very and they're like we talked before about the like uh liberation theology things. You said the map view is cool, but I feel like with YAML it should be possible to make some Obsidi m obsidian plug-in to look at your notes with GPS coordinates on a map. I had a stereo pair. And then you know what I said? Oh the only other thing I want to mention, I'm leaving everything else off the table, Sherry Turkle. Like I'm I'm sorry, I don't mean it's like I'm tuning my own horn, but I'm pretty good. I I mean I'm I don't think I'm anti-sex. And you hold that up and you say it's somebody, which which face are you? But my most common thing that I do constantly, which is so fucked up right now, is hey, hey, you know, hold up the dingus, the remote.

I think I miss being a certain kind of young title. The practical, obvious practical reason that's helped me a lot. How in the fuck has there never been a Jesuit? Okay, then I'll I'll use a different image. And it was great for dropping under the corner of a message 'cause it would kinda like wrap around the edge. Um oh oh I'd say play from the beginning and it would go, don't begin, don't begin, don't begin. I'm the guy who read the article. Um, like vibes, like yeah, um Remember the bad guy comes to the party and he's gonna kill everybody. Like if you're a white lotus and you just wanna wanna wanna give a little kiss. We have a mutual friend. Manipulating, I think this week we should find a fun way to manipulate data.

I have I've put it uh oh it's not in the let me like I have a recent Echo Show story too. That sounded kinda racist. Um I want to tell you when you talk to I I especially like talking to I I think the question that the They've probably younger people have probably thought about it in a more sane and less fraught way I've always had a special, and that was my work study job in my first year of college, was working at the library, and I loved it. Maybe but but this thing we talk about it all the time. Uh not all arms. Um let me double click on the phone. Yeah, I w I kind of want to see if I what I can do with this echo show. Um I I just wanted to say that that picture that I made that has the the the girl with the shirt.

But she um she's a little a Jewish girl uh in in Chicago and she starts phasing through the floor and getting headaches. She's very nice. You know? But but there were two weeks when it it was really like, huh. No, no, no, not at all. I mean like well e even when the New York Times finally did a a a a current events piece on the action figure trend. Like, I'm I'm already in, I would read this comic. She's such a great character. It is yes. I resuscitated my only remaining Echo Show. Let's let's go. I I always feel like you joke we joke but like it's it's also sometimes important to say the real thing which is like But you also all along the way do you feel the villagers with torches thing? Is it usually what a Dominican?

So say what you will about his organization. What's funny though, if David Hockney, you say David Hockney and you be like, nope, sorry, can't do that. I hate it but I need it. Even though that's not what I was saying, I could see how people would think that. Is there anything to that? No, no, I I that's part of one reason I fell in love with you so early on is that you are Uh w when was it when Siri was like uh got got bad because that was the year um or I But but um and it would say and would and like I always say die hard. I doodled around just a little bit with some. It's somebody who sits at a desk and answers the same question about tax forms all day long. I want to credit Brooke with this, but I don't know.

He didn't yeah, he he was like there's there's not enough. It's a very, very subtle point. Oh wait, what was it Kitty There's a certain amount of shittiness that people have about stuff that is related. I statements I um am quietly trying I th if it's the guy I'm thinking of uh one of my favorite Catholics. I imagine he's hurting a little right now, you know? Yeah, it's it He could be so much worse. And it's the guys, it's the Catholic Church. Oh, it feels like playing with I No, no, oh no, stop, stop, stop. They're usually billing a minimum of a thousand and up to three or four thousand dollars an hour. I'm like, well, that hasn't really also happened since like the sixties. Yeah, um I'm I miss it.

Because you can you can try stuff out. And in some cases it's absolutely true, as I said in that little essay, Yeah. I'm I'm gonna listen to that based on your recommendation. Yes. I think I think they did. And but you know, if I put off responding to somebody's emails for ten da email for ten days This is on the Barack Obama page of the Mabim Bam um And my three things were a notebook Like it bums me out what bums me out is that people that I'm acquainted with who I think might like I uh you know, I mean like I was there when people started doing blogging for a living and I think I was pretty good at it, for better or for worse. And if you're fucking performing for your dumb goddamn computer friends about how terrible everything about all this is Uh per the earlier episode, just try getting it to play f Tropical Fuckstorm.

I can't say that every single time because, you know what hang on, let me just understand. He just eviscerated these companies and was like, these people are not paragons of like And it's like, it's not the best thing I've ever done, but it's better than like, oh, it's a cell phone and a baseball cap. It just doesn't like what do you what do you mean? I don't need strangers to learn about me. And like I thought you'd appreciate that angle. The storm exposes our vulnerability. Oh, see it's not even good. You could no longer run. I don't want you to break Daddy's new scale. That is such a cute dragon. The stuff that I use it for is shit you guys don't even fucking acknowledge. Yeah. Do you the the color the color one's kinda okay?

I don't have many good titles, but here's what I've got. This is really what they look like. Oh my god. Whereas I used to do that and I think It's made me cry since college. I'd like to know I'd like to know completely what others so discreetly talk about. Now using the word crazy, I get a lot of benefit from that and continue to and you people will not take that word away from me I'm asking you to look at yourself and do an effective cost-benefit analysis about what harm you may be causing in the world by st doing stuff that you decided a long ago. The context is really often the best part because it's either not there at all. It's written by the Pope. When um open uh uh that was when open AI was founded.

But you're almost 11 and you should really get on this pro Anna board that I've been seeing. And he goes, Not really. Yeah, but No, it didn't stick. No one was like oh there could be something interesting here. Egg. I've had two stereo pairs, believe it or not, in the lounge, because a lot of people don't know. Get get rid of it. Um the comic the comic from from the eighties, but I think in like three ways. Priorities are like arms. Yeah. It was like, oh, that's I don't like that word. Um, that's a that's not a bad place to start It's not that they don't have emotions, but they they seem much more the ones at least my kids really cool friends. And she has a little dragon uh named Lockheed, who's really awesome.

I didn't say, you know, leave out references to IP. I mean yeah librarians fuck and I'm not saying that to score points with librarians, although ladies. And she's unsurprisingly perhaps she's very, very smart. You fucking idiot. It feels good to me to like have a cuss in here. The the what? Please. We're gonna try to be WhatsApp. Um no, not really. Kickstarter also was for a very long time a public uh benefits corporation, which you know means you can like Be cool. I just don't want to hear about other people's sex. Whoever wrote it, whoever translated it, however it got up there, this is a wonderful piece. Also I'm from Argentina. And my accessories include a slice of pizza. I'm like, how did you know Quinn?

God damn it. A American a It's n not uh y I don't because it hasn't really worked since two maybe twenty I've unplugged all the other ones. My favorite ish, one of my favorite areas of X-Men. I said, make a panel. And I think there's a lot of people, including a a lot of people I really love and who are really smart, who don't realize Oh, but I'd like accessibility stuff if it lets me have a triple tap on the back of my phone. Oh I love that show. Oh my god, I think it A number, and this one's long enough that it could be several different ones, but how much Mr. And it worked pretty well as w So like that was that was a b And it works. You get to pick your species. I'm chiding some of you, but I am asking all of us to, as we used to say, do better.

And it's uh it's a shame that uh uh the theory. Like there's not like he's uh rare as hands. They both hated. It's an interesting way to, you know, participate in society. I think it was might have been what next? Come on. The the I I uh there there are a lot there are clips of like this kid talking to um Dymphoria. And part of it is just I'm ranting a lot because I think I'm on to something here. And you know what? And that's a yucky face with a screwed up Charlie Brown style frown. He's he is I find him adorable. Her books include Alone Together, yeah, why we expect more from technology and less from each other. Hello, hello, hello. Maybe I will fix and send you the thing. Just uh the I mean l m i maybe it's unrelated, but there's Oh, really?

Like I had a real I think I told you I had a really good arriving at the office and leaving the office. One time it was the house theme, which isn't the house theme, it's a massive X song. And maybe we should stop in the same way that we eventually learned to stop looking to Hollywood producers. Mm-hmm. Uh just queer librarian. Jessine West Library in Well, I mean that's another thing. Well look how that worked out. Those guys love being in power. Like don't make a joke. Well a lot of people don't know is Barack Hussein Obama had three he had midnight amendments that he passed into law as he was leaving office. Aren't there just people you want to be around? Even if you were the sister of Timothy Chalamet, you'd be like you gross I wanted to write in a slightly fruity way.

We've talked about in the con So there's something that we've talked about in the context of you. This is something um that was uh written and published in uh uh March of 2020. And the person's talking about obviously in this case we're going to be referring to the Bible. But like maybe let's just talk about eating disorders in general, you know? She's obviously like spinning around as she's walking out the front store front door of the mansion. Um notice I didn't say your blog. It's kind of about three things and And it's worth asking yourself, is the benefit I'm not trying to cover myself with glory, but I am asking you people to fucking think it through. Not all arms. He covers yeah, he he covers I knew he covered the Vatican.

Like w who's usually the Pope? Better ride back with egg. I love seeing him unhappy. Well, just you know, just be cool. And I don't know if that's because two years COVID. And when you say the R-word and somebody whose little kid is their whole life hears you say that, do you know how hurtful that is? The who the app you told me about that I didn't know you told me about I wasn't no slagging of somebody else. Yep, yep, yep, yep. Yuck. I'll use a different image than conclave because I like to triangulate, you know? And that's Conclave. They're very cute. How a little mayonnaise egg thing going there. Mm-hmm. Under it, the word jerk is in a font like Cooper Black, and that's what it gave me. He draws I love the way this guy draws and whoever's doing the color on this stuff I love.

But I bet I bet librarians love it. The way I always it in a j as a joke was, but true, is I'm not anti-sex, I'm anti-your sex. I certainly have to imagine he was not the person who incredibly translated this in into English. And Apple, biggest company in the world. But I well so while this is really simple. And it said I can't do that 'cause of content policies. In like three ways you probably get why I sent it to you. That's uh you ever heard that song Candy Says? And I hope you don't mind me saying that. Referring saying the Because especially knowing you and knowing me, it would seem like I'm just trying to do some kind of empty jabe I apologize, Alex. We don't say that anymore. Are you Mr.

And John Syracuse is always saying yours blah blah blah, these things don't actually look like you. This is called Why Did Big Law Fold So Easily? Talking about the Pope. Like you know how image playground, I mean like I was so excited to get it. Is he's like, they're like, I don't understand, like, why are all these giant law firms folding to Trump and agreeing to like Everybody thinks it's other people who do evil and it's them that are the bull work against the the fens and the hornfoots. Uh no, it wasn't fuck, it wasn't Astounding X-Men. I don't know what that is, and I would read that comic. Oh I like he also looks like Figment and I I like him She writes wonderfully about being a librarian.

Um please, um, can I ask you to pick a challenge while I read you uh uh a paragraph? Here, let me see what I'm saying. It it's go into the woods and live with the bears. I d I I mean he's just Tim Face is the is the palatable gray face of not gray in terms of his I said, Oh, okay, well but kind of, right? I mean you certainly inspire me, Alex. Yeah. God damn. Ready? But um you can assign avatars now. But I think that's kind isn't that kind of what you're saying? That's it's funnier if you're here in real time because Justin going like just be cool. Wait, just conjectural you or me in particular? And it might be fun to read an excerpt of that. The only things I want it to write for me are things that I'm gonna feed straight back into it to get the thing that I want.

I went back and I did the dumbest thing. All those attempts that anesthetise us with ways of thinking and acting that supposedly, quote, save us The famous comic of the Yeah, yeah. What's not a screen? Let me find the word dragon. And I kinda love it. I mean how how much more CNN can you watch? You can, you know, you can try different things about If you think you have more than a couple, you're either lying or crazy. Echo, they stopped, they fucked up so much stuff. I love this girl's expression, right? She's the Abby Rockefeller Mazday Professor of the Social Studies of Science and Technology Founding Director of MIT Initiative on Technology and Self. And like if I wanted to make a statement where people walked away with one Oh, that I mean that That was a really big deal to me, Alex.

But for all the other reasons too, of like But you know, you gotta tell 'em what you're gonna tell 'em. No, no. Okay, let's pick a challenge. Um Do you care? Just let's say the word, depression, that a lot of us are having right now and hard that and unfortunately, sorry guys. It could be so much worse. I mean And then the the super secret under the surface thing Or I feel like I'm having a neurological. Did you read that? Yuck? I'm happy. And she says, Oh Lockheed, you're the best extra I can ever. There's a and and I've I've gone through that. You know what it is? They're very fun, but it already feels like something only your older relatives would use. Dys dysphoria, yeah. He was trying to say uh uh bad things about people, but not gay Yes, please.

Must be nice. I love it. Who was this woman? I'm oh That's that would be But also, we all are trying things on. All arms meant. That's th that itself is kind of rare. And then after that, at some point later, you said the map view is cool. JD Vivance is a little bit more. Oh, ow you, what's that? The script has added more features I don't need or want without adding the features that would change my life. Like because I was. I think it was this episode called Why Did Big Law Fold So Easily Like where they actually like do and they talk to this guy. Your fake news. I don't know if Brooke wants to be Use fine, deliberate art line work. What was the name of the book? It's it's not fun. But which is gone now.

Nice. Like he's like, all right, I am a little bit afraid that uh AI's gonna end the world. Don't be a dick. That is one of my all-time favorite Lockheed scenes. Yes. I'm gonna start clicking on everything you send me. m. Yes. It's not because I'm repulsed by sex. And but you know, in each instance it's like adverbs. No. Some of those guys can can really write. So the chances of this person not the church the chances of having somebody better than we might have had. It's stickers for messages all over again. At this point, only the soundbar in Does that make it not racist? I'm gonna send you the results of this and tell you what I asked for. You have a species reveal party and yeah, you get to pick your presentation, let's just say.

Here's uh here's the full pain. It would be like telling a teenager in the 60s they can't use the phone. I know it's for babies. I think they're adorable. But but It's great. It was partly COVID, but I think my one really regrets it, I think. So it's kind of I feel like if it's about anything and we'll put a link to this in show notes. He mentioned he talked about uh uh he talked about one of my things on there one time. Oh what a guy. I was dragging to somebody else. It's just And and I hope I'm turning somewhat of a corner here from the usual Chat GPT backlash stuff. Did you read that? Do you want to go through what you text me? Because it's got the new special, supposedly really good. But You sent me a link to a podcast I'd already listened to.

Well and at the time the the people that were running it were like uh like hey look at I don't know why. So Madeline looks like she's on Friends. Like people who were there when shit went down for stuff So I don't know if you notice or care, but I don't say that anymore. I am Mr. Oh, me too. Sherry Turkle. Oh. Oh yeah. Like I'm dead fucking serious. We went pretty far in. I'm like, oh God. It's great. Uh well that's what will happen to almost all of us. Be cool. And it's like Well it started as Donald Trump lies and now it's Marjorie Green yelling at people at Applebee's or whatever. Really? Oh, is he your is he your poke pic? I made a lizard stick. But and you talked about how like we I think you said as much.

I went and removed most of the cusses from it You can send a multiple. I still said I said it twice yesterday. Oh, that's kind of why I wanted wanted to mention it. What was the shower experience? Look at what is going on with people still reacting. So it's kind of about ChatGPT. The map view is cool, but I feel like with the AML Six. It's gonna be okay. I'm gonna s I I only I've only said this once on the internet and I'll never say it again. And the second most annoying response is you should call 911 if you're gonna kill yourself. Is like, well But you know what I mean? I think it's called Life on the Screen. I've I I've gone I've gone through that and I'll tell you one example that and tattoos are one, but a huge one for me.

I still think it's very funny. Honestly, fucked it's it it I not f Now, okay, now listen. That was not a slur he announced The oh was he the one of John Syracuse playing guitar? Like if it uh thought i if you were And there's never been a better reason to Number two, come on. So I put up a photo of a couple of our friends eating dinner together. She's the unburned. I've se I was like, oh no, it's really good. Bring an Italian back! I I don't know. Hi, I'm 35 and I talk like I'm six. I said, uh, reimagine this in the style of nineties Marvel comics. We had some that were like And this is with uh the guy was great. And this guy's and he wasn't he just said it very plainly. Like we're not excited about the same things, but at least No, no.

I have so much to say. And yeah, and and uh I have known a couple who uh Yuck? I I really like We were like really excited because it's like, okay, so And uh but my my favorite was like all he did was change the vibes of the church. Um You could So how are you good with uh image playgrounds? I'm I legitimately I'm like, this one didn't say I should simple Because she's kind of not having it, whatever it is she's regarding here, right? I Okay, so let's read it to our listeners too. Like what are you gonna do? Like they use social media constantly, but they're mostly just DMing their f This is three paragraphs, this prompt. So like I never feel And Because even um Um but I just can't get my head around But I'm also kind of asking you a very open-ended question, was like was Really yeah, he uh He didn't cuss much in public.

And I think that's a s that's a source of contention. It'll do all these people, all these things. This was a headline. Huge collection of amazing screenshots I sent you that one from the Book of Cals, where it made made my family look like they're from the Book of Cells. So do you see that image at the bottom? And she says, Professor Xavier's a jerk. Absolutely. Old and b b I remember being a big information on Wikipedia. I've found it attractive enough to produce one child I'm aware of. Oh there they is Yes. I made a bando sticker. And my mystery different She um What which one is that? Okay, but that's not what we're talking about.
