364. Let’s Talk About the Green Onion

But I'm I'm always happy when that ends up having been a good decision amongst what you used to be a series of terrible decisions or uh negative outcomes. But are there things where like, or or you could do the corollary? Well you know uh what I mean. How is it that some people is it Casey? And now it's down to, and I'm not going to use the names, because the last episode I watched, it was so goddamn funny, but it was so house. D I've never had an issue with AppleCare, but i if you recall, I had a I like having playlists. Why do I have to try and get URLs out of Spotify and name it the right thing and like ugh? They turned it into something cute with JavaScript where things would light up and there was a pull-down menu.

But what you're asking it to do really is and again it's all input, says John Syracuse. Where it's like show me pictures of the founding fathers, show me Vikings, and uh got up in arms of like this isn't historically correct, this isn't blah blah blah. Like I'd had okay luck with that in other places, but honestly, image FX or whatever it's called gave me some of the most interesting and really prettiest of those images. If I want a whole lady slave and she's white, don't keep giving me Princess Leia. That's what I was doing. And I was trying to get it in the style of Caravaggio. Yeah. I want to say relying on, but leveraging those kinds of shortcuts. I'm gonna explain, explain. That's what I'm talking about here.

'Cause that's what it feels like happens a lot is where people are like, wait a minute, this sounds dangerous and irrational to me. Everybody remembers, all the fucking idiots remember that a yin and a yang has a black and a white side. And I'm primarily coming at it back on my heels because you're defensive about what this is doing to the country. Just so we don't have horse chaos, that's that's how we've decided to do this, right? Are a lot of people really getting when you ask something like that, you tell on yourself so fucking hard about how blinkered your view of the world is. They're still mad. So God I know exactly what you Do you well I mean I I bet okay so is that kind of you in iPhone cases?

that oh god you roll into Pete's and you get that same burnt coffee and you roll into Starbucks and you get that same lame burnt coffee or you know what diff whatever your tastes are like you roll into McDonald's and it's like but like that is a that was a really big deal. Create. But I know other people like I think some people are harder on things and and it might be some kind of a psychic liability from the Lord. Never mind. Probably takes and and I was I th the enclave uh the the the clavel on eventually I know. And we we were watching Dune part one and I was like, look, I know this is Oh hell yeah. from watching too much NBC in 2017. the $500 sound bar and i'm telling you man it's the the eq is pretty rudimentary in the sonos app but i can keep the bass where i want it to be i can flip on loud i flipped on loudness i increased And I'm not trying to sell, I'm not trying to show off.

It's like yeah, the thing where like have it go through two different full size AirPods so it sounds like we're in a movie theater. Because uh the next day it was just wall-to-wall apologies and we're working on this. Yep, it's still a little bit more. Yes, I'm not sure. Yeah. Same with Metropolis, not a good movie, but it does look really cool and visual style. that it did not actually take into consideration what could be uh uh harmful images. Plus Mastodon, plus photos, plus right. Uh you could just say larger in size, like byte-wise. I'm carrying on, I'm sorry. Yeah, I blocked. Okay. No, but I'm not an idiot. I can't define it, but I know it when I see it. are actually made out of molecules.

whether it's a joke about Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve, or whether it's a joke that that that's that that kind of binary. Ah that's me, my penis lacks a lady. Whereas if somebody else goes, yeah, uh, there's this person, uh, this person I know and we're in love, we're gonna get married. Super annoying. I have a very um I my my results with getting sound bars from a TV have not been great over the last however many years. But honestly I just feel like s like my friend Dennis used to say, you know, w we'd be driving around and and looking for a parking spot and Dennis would go, Blind Hog found an acorn and I'd say, Oh Dennis, you're so colorful. What's the name of the singer? the current laptop I'm using and Apple Apple Care Plus being Apple Care is what comes excuse me, pardon me, if they come together with your computer.

You've used your phone as a speaker in the shower. Like Craig will w from the first watch, Apple Watch. the day they launched the McDLT. when when the district people are there, even if you're a franchise, like when when they're there to like make sure McDLT roll out, the McDLTs that are coming off the line that first day are really good McDLTs. You know, this is the thing. There was a time when you would roll into a place and you didn't know if the food was poisoned. And the re I say this uh as with my old man, you know, hat on. It used to be just as simple as I just want a, you know, whatever their version of a medium French roast with room for cream. that in at least in my day and you would go B at like an off time, y you know, if it was like at two o'clock, it might not be the best burger you've ever had.

stare down our our nose look down our nose at, you know, these big brands and chains. Mm-hmm. from the from the uh from the dirt of the earth? I mean, he's not in witness protection. of, you know, roughly the same vintage. Or get like corroded or like the and I know there's some models where this is truer than others, but like have you ever known some people like I my stuff all like pretty much looks okay, I think. Jesse Oh gosh, but um uh uh back when I traveled I uh would also Yes. Yeah. Live, but I mean like they're like, hey look, we like feet. phone your hand you go into like it would be submerged in water it would be like knowingly submerged in water and like it would still work okay. KT Tunstall song from uh the September from um the the Vogue movie with uh with uh with the girl from Le Miz.

But but it's a pretty uh isn't it a pretty how the hey do you dance to something like that? You know what I mean? Uh there's a couple things that always help me get quick context for something. God, it's like putting on two condoms. Screen I'm I mean uh you know, we all have our reasons. You know that actress? I was going to do that. Were you called what was actually going to happen? Nobody plays like I do. And like, uh I bet it's gonna be Mary from the Leftovers. Uh the it's a few years. do the thing where they turn around, they're like, ah, see it works. But isn't there that moment though, or that moment or that night, that weekend where you're like, uh this will probably fix itself. W I I was just saying you sound really healthy and you're at we're talking about money?

Output transcript Steakhouse. Like usually a pretty safe. Doing harder drugs. And like I it kept spinning on my iPad, but I couldn't quit. You know what I mean? Slowly from there I uh randomly everything would freeze up and uh i the c the whole entire computer would not Yeah, Obsidian you know, I'll just use Obsidian my phone. Oh, she is. and does like sleight of hand. And uh to me it's been pretty obvious all, even when he's just playing with his fucking ball, you can tell that he does things with his fingers or his cane. Well I wouldn't. Yeah, kind of. I would just be like, could you not do that around me? Well, like the 15 Pro also feels really heavy, but it doesn't feel as really heavy. Uh yes.

I mascarlet. I have uh my little mind node uh um widget there which doesn't have true black, so I can't see it. We we don't talk, you know, people in a sexual normative relationship but they don't really talk to each other, not like you people do. the the Greato Henry story. 'Cause hostage used to mean something different. Yeah. The Prot Protestants want to get into the Japans and they want a little piece of what the Catholics have been doing. But the biggest problem was getting Apple TV in the past, this isn't I'm not blaming anybody, but getting Apple TV to play well with a soundbar, I found to be difficult, whether that was using the You could do like a straight audio connection, you could do the EARC, you could do HDMI, like whatever you whatever, but whatever.

She goes, you know what I love RTV too? It's a combination of what everybody wanted. almost as cool as a movie theater. Am I disturbing your attempt to stare at your phone for four hours? But it's not rumbling and making the floor hurt and bumming out our neighbors. I well uh If I went out and like met people or like or are you I like to travel. I'm sorry. Yeah. Oh maybe. And like the thing is, I guess I thought I upgraded to get it, but I guess it's already kind of included sort of in my Google whatever thing. No. The one that blew me away was, because like there's, you know how we uh we we joke, but like everybody's got, like, for example, their movie that they put on when they want to test speakers.

But I I'm used to that nanny state stuff with ChatGPT and that's not really not what I use it for. I'll put this together myself or because that's you know how I imprinted on that. Where I was like, and you know, sometimes you can like step on your own dick with too much help, but it was a pretty normal prompt of like, I want to make a YouTube, I want to make a YouTube playlist. For the 1981 uh REM EP Chronic Town, you know, make me a markdown formatted list linking to the best versions of those videos. uh did you just explain to me how to Google something? believe one of the first people who wasn't like a super bonkers like right winger deliberately filtering for if you right type these kinds of things we'll just you just can't white man.

That's great. Why? Yeah. Uh the way that Google did it was purely just a a complete fuck-up because they did the exact thing that folks Saying sixteen. Here, I've got what I ask for, and I can very easily imagine there being something that sends at least a very confusing message about what to what to respond with. But like back in the day on Dr on Doctor Who, you'd be like, oh my God. Uh, I understand your request for a glamour shot of a white Irish or British couple. saw and a lot of people saw was right again of like bonkers right wing Elon Musk uh people in like fucking I'm pretty quickly. Um F P O U on Adult Swim. Uh you know, a as you've been talking about, they they all uh d uh have a hand in like changing things up and but Google did it with just such a blunt instrument.

Um, straight off the dome, but like with a certain kind of specificity, you can forgive my saying, cover your ass a little bit and say like, okay, well, that's outside the scope of what we're trying to do here. LLMs don't really understand what letters are. I'm not saying it's great art. some out of a DK sticker book, which I still love those books. Make it an extremely detailed technical drawing with call-outs, explanatory text, and a legend that identifies the different elements of the drawing. Spurts where I'll like do a whole bunch of stuff and it's I have to use my my thing that needs a name. Oh, and then if you scroll down on if you go to the actual page on Esthodon, look at the cats. It might be Dolly.

Maybe the memory sticky? But by the time it gets into Plex, there'll be a lot of people. Yes. for. Merlin, a friend wrote to ask you, what is one thing you wish everyone understood about being trans in America? I want to tell everybody about Alan Watts. and possibly small book called The Wisdom of Insecurity that I just consider essential reading. Stoner talk and sophistry. And under the influence of listening to a lot of Alan Watts, uh, I first, God bless you, Sydney, thank you for asking. But everybody buys different clothes already. I don't I don't have a better word than queer. Until I get a better word. 'Cause I am not expected to do the same with you. freaks me out and I I h held my kid close because I didn't want him to be around the dangerous man woman.

And at the center of the white side is a black. Do they do they realize that no you're supposed to call that this weekend not next weekend? And they don't work the way you want it to work because the the earth is round and it's on an angle. And he he was he did exactly the role that I always hope people do. But like or Foucault or whoever. to give it to me in pigs and bunnies. And you're like, dude, what? It would be like saying, oh, you want to come and watch the sunrise tomorrow? to decide whether you're tailgating or not. Shit, what's the name of that actress? When we say I know or I understand, which by the way, also these are they become important lines in uh Shogun. And that your desire to, quote, understand is what makes the world chew stuff into such a dumb fucking paste that you're still reluctant to even gum on.

A lot of other stuff is I thought I was gonna go to college to learn how to do this. And sometimes I liked them because they were there. handled that well. Yes, it's Anna the Rancor. Where like even if even if your toddler, for example, like spilled an entire uncapped bottle of water in someone's purse. that this is water damage. their b very costly phone as a Bluetooth speaker. of Apple products. indeed handmade. what it was it, Series Zero, Hawk and Berry Watch was just really good at their job. The people making these products are under really let's say not ideal conditions and are, you know, and dying. podcast episode, we'll put it in show notes. Unless it's being very well managed. in the 30s to be able to know that when you go into this place you could expect to get the same product.

That's a brand. I've got that ooh yeah, that's gonna g give me a few. Oh yes. And my hiring practices. No. swim with my iPhone intentionally and it takes amazing underwater uh photos and videos. I would have called uh the one of the founders of Wikifeed and been like, hey hey, guess what? Quote w waterproof like IP bajillion or whatever. Yeah. Have you ever thought about how uh the Trinity really just uh thruple? I don't know, did you f I would feel so weird knowingly can't holding my iPhone as I walk into water if I'd never done it before. uh which even has theft protection on your phone. Or you can pay as you go, but AppleCare Plus gets you more stuff, and there's AppleCare Plus with, I think, theft and loss protection.

I'm a couple phones and like under Apple Care. Mm-hmm. for several episodes. To bring people up to date on what this thing was, because it sounds like one of those like you you lose your goddamn mind kind of problems. from my old job because yeah. It the was the first was the problem that you started with that the touch ID stopped working? I I just want I don't want to d deal with this right now. Gone city yourself. give you a like loner laptop and that d for a lot of reasons doesn't happen anymore. sent it uh sent it away, and I got a call fr thinking like, oh, there must be something. Because again, Apple Care applause Was it crashing or what was it? I have a I have a daily crash right now that I've done everything I can't figure out to fix.

of like taking something that's like has maybe hasn't risen quite to the level of like a species or laptop ending event and like trying to figure it out. Um, but uh as the rest it's not that the keyboard was failing i uh it was clamshell mode and the Bluetooth keyboard that is a an Apple magic keyboard. And that always worked. Electrical, whatever kind of thing. It started with VS Code. full in d d denial. Um that's so interesting. comparison in a million ways, but in terms of the like, hmm, I wonder why that happened, to me that would be almost like if text edit crashed on the Mac. or or something where you'd be like, well, uh I know drafts can do a lot of different things, but it's all kind of in its own little world and it's doing stuff.

back and I I get a call from a lady uh saying, oh hey, there's water damage and it's gonna be five hundred dollars to require. No, no, no, no. I b I do not really want to try it now. Now I don't know about you, but that also and again this might not be a coincidence, that's also exactly where my right thumb goes. So the question is, have I sinned? It was so obnoxious. Having my right usually a pretty well groomed thumbnail. Uh yeah, that's part of why I uh um always get Apple Care because it's it's stuff like that. Yeah, yeah, exactly. As my you know, now my laptop is being uh well not not held hostage by AppleCare, but it it take it's gonna take uh five hundred dollars. Imagine Tom Hardy playing Tom Well imagine Tom Hardy playing Daniel Plain, Daniel Plainview.

Which is basically like you give us money so we don't kill you. But the one of the prime well death is the huge theme of the show. But I'd heard enough, I'd read enough. But like every soundbar I'd ever gotten. My old person, my sorry, whoa, let's try the up all right. Whereas I love big boomy surprising sounds. Who's not old and I said, I love RTV, which is something that I say twice a month. with my magical thinking here, to say this, the sound bar is fucking perfect. which really raises the highs and the high mids. Because I used to test the family. And uh I listen to to music really loud. It's like like on that Wu-Tang uh song, The Mysteries of Time Boxing. I like I came back and I was just like, oh my God.

Like if some people like want to like listen to st like Steeley Dance Asia to see how headphones how how because they they know that album. You know what you follow like so far? Right, for me, Mad Max Fury Road, a movie I really enjoyed, but more than anything, one of the greatest in cinema experiences I ever had, sound-wise. If you listen to music the way that I do. Like imagine like because you can kind of do this already, but like for you poor bastards that are on Apple Music, like you're missing a lot over on Spotify. Find if it's available in HD over SD, choose that. REM Chronic Town 1. I don't know if you saw this, but the response I got was, in its usually like cute, perky way, it was like, no, I I sorry, I can't do stuff with YouTube.

I don't have a way I think it said something like I don't have a way to Google's service. It constantly is asking me now in Gmail if I wanted to like write my email for me, but you can't you can't act okay, fine. What seems insane is that your response is not to do something for me, but instead explain how to Google about something? Yeah, the it's I saw the headlines, but I didn't I don't read that stuff. It is no, it it it was fucked up because what I I equated it to Google basically going in and doing like Command F bigotry and like d deleting that because it's not Oh you're talking about how it happened or what their response was? You know, image FX or whatever. LLM thing m m gave people objectionable images.

Right. the way that it was kneecapped, it was not that they were even changing the model itself, which OpenAI does that for, you know, sometimes better or uh worse. whether that's your instruction layer or their instruction layer or their filter layer, right? They uh i i like you I can't find the um like mainstream uh pretty n normal outlets outlets started picking this up. That's not in the photo. We were just watching this thing on Netflix that takes place in 1989 and I'm like, I don't know, man. Because you truly couldn't get images that made any sense. They're trying to do that thing where it's like, well no, no, no. Yeah, show uh a glamour shot of a Chinese couple, a glamour shot of South African people, and then uh when you would say white or British.

For perpetuating harmful stereotypes and biases associated with specific ethnic easier skin tones. I would be happy to generate a glamour shot featuring a couple without specifying their ethnicity, allowing for broader representation. Even though it had already like so but uh and there are are again, like the the thing that I you probably I i like and that's bullshit. They they weren't from Gemini. I still don't really understand it, but it's different than what I thought. Hooked up, white lady slave. Um, they started putting in again, like just totally. You could say I want something, because I frequently one I will frequently do is in a German expressionist style. Because I'm used to being able to ask for things like that and that's what it's good at is going like, okay, I know what a Caravaggio looks like.

uh the screen. of uh I forget what the term in the industry is, but like the famous Metropolis poster that you've seen or in the style of Edvard Mock's The Scream. It would be like asking a music, uh, a version of this with music to say, do something with contraprontal harmony in the style of Bach during this period. Ditto here, like uh it seems like you should just say, give me music posters that look like Edvard Mook. You can sometimes do those old school when I say old school, I mean like six months ago style prompts where you keyword jam it with stuff like hyper realistic, 4K, cinematic, you use all those. sort of differently, but once you get close enough to what you want, you figure out if I could say what it wants to give you or how it wants to give you what it wants to give you.

with points of view that I consider totally normal and American and Google or whomever decides is objectionable. Yeah. Yeah, and and it just fucking it it bums me out too because it the the not only made it worse for paying uh customers It's like, well, like what are we doing? This um I called it a collage, but basically the kid scribbled on paper and put some stickers on. It has the Dolly style and so you uploaded m yeah, this was Dolly but yeah, because well Gemini is uh off yeah, I'm sorry, I guess. Uh no, God. uh do this uh like a a way to capture all of these image and uh tag them with whatever um 'Cause you can't really say like a certain seed and have it work. I want it to exist. So like when you upload you remember this from your downloading days probably is like this the MP3s have to be 120, at least 128K constant.

And it has really served me well. Oh, wait, okay. about do bloggy things is like catch up on what this thing can do and do those kinds of things. you know, Octathorpe bought Octathorpe space and it'll make it an H2. And the question was, and of course, like everybody, like I always want to wish I want to answer a different question than the one I was asked was like what what do you wish And mutual friend is, how would you describe it? Uh I am the last person in the world that should be giving anybody an opinion about that. I did avoid saying, I even have a thing now. This is about an idea. I'll shall get to in a second. And that's a strength. Like yeah, that's in the way that the nice way of like, hey, that's not my story to tell.

But it's not so that I can master this topic. to describe and then you have to talk about all the axes. sex or gender or any of that kind of stuff. when this has gone from white to green or when this has gone from green to white. That's a really important point. There's pregnant and not pregnant. or have a background in um linguistics, uh semiotics, like any of that kind of stuff, I think they'll get what I'm saying. And that there are so many things in all of these levels of abstraction in life that in the world, in our perception, that become so much more But you say to somebody, well then and you go you come in, you come in, you're all very platonic, and you and you come in or you're, you know, Socratic.

And again, something Alan Watts and lots of scientists in the early 20th century talked about. Well not all years. And there is a difference, and that different difference is called difference. And if we are in curious about what's made us so confused, we are in what you like to call the dark, or night, as you cave people call it. Alex, I feel so bad to bring it up at this point. It's not my place to say, but it whether it's this is you or other people in my life, I hate how fucking dumb I am that I still on some level need people. that matches the thing you're okay with, whether that's okay intellectually, whether that's okay philosophically, emotionally, um theologically. a relationship between whatever number of people unless you can get it into the shape sorter Print that I said that.

It's a good idea to keep an amount of space between you and the car in front of you. Now that doesn't matter how fast you're going, however fast you're going, it should still be two seconds of time. But it's it's a really good heuristic. And so when when one of us comes barging into the room and goes, hey everybody, all of you who think you're the boy, get on this side, and all of you who pfft Imagine you're the girl, get on this side. Well like okay, so like I'm a guy and I got a dick. Uh, I like shoes, but I hate feet. I understand that, but I don't like it. Well, do you understand on on which terms, in which context do you understand that? The second to the last paragraph of that, and I don't want to talk about it.

You being me, if you think you don't do it, fucking get over it. I don't understand what you're doing. Do you really not understand why people, like again, people I disagree with, but people people who are mad about uh Japanese Nazis, you don't understand why they see that way? Derek Thompson had a great piece in The Atlantic the other day about this. Is is Joe Biden the guy who's gonna fight that war for us to show that oh the opposite of chaos is me? the frames that you demand be put around everything are not always well suited for that particular piece of art. Make people know who you are, like who you are. If I just sit around like waiting, waiting for information that that fits into my trapper keeper, it's gonna be a fucking lonely school year.

Yes, sim, well, people can listen to me talking the after show, uh-huh. Podcast with Alex Cox and Merlin Mann. I don't know. Me with iPhone cases. Not a new phone, but you know, a replacement phone because they're just like, yeah, you're covered. Oh, we're back um back to that. in an encounter with a with a a seal, you know. Um, you know, that the our friends do a lot of things. emphasizes the human aspect around this universal experience we are supposedly supposed to have. Similar everywhere you get it, whether that's in Seattle, whether that's in a hotel lobby in Philadelphia, or wherever. When he says so what he's saying is that's clay. inspired it as Aristotle would say. I uh often uh trash uh uh phones many times, like you've said.

the like middle school songs that was played at a dance that I definitely didn't go to. Oh mm please no. It's f at the time there was an Apple Care Plus, but it was like fifty uh bucks or whatever for water damage. Which is I don't think there's a Pro Plus Enterprise yet. I also, more importantly, and I I should say again too, like, I I crack screens, I have gotten water damage of or the pi graph problem. CPAP, C Pap. Um and that is. of uh advancements in med in medication. And uh eventually it completely uh stopped working again and I'm like, you know what? Uh uh oh what does that mean? or whatever, you know, m uh i is connecting this stuff. Um, and then but then some electron apps as well were being wonky.

Yeah, yeah. Uh yeah, and I but again, uh like I was doing it was editing like really big files and thought, hey, it's it's it's uh it's fine. like regular things. I don't know. And then you get it, I'm sorry, you get your Mac back, but then it starts acting up again and there's new things No, that would be so cool though. Once once they started doing stainless steel, it was i it was over. A biggie yeah, the the um fifteen. on the right side, so like somewhere between the third and fourth column, between the fourth and fifth row on my previous phone. On about the so let's talk about rows here. It the kind of thing where you're like, is that a little bit of popcorn? Huh. I again it's like because it's a whole to-do, I rearranged my home screen so that I have a widget there.

Yeah like I just want to do that. Oh absolutely. I have never come across this. on the same level where your TV resides, but like almost every soundbar I've had like slightly occludes the view or is sort of distracting and like where it is. But here's the thing about this soundbar. you know, what was a popular song on the day my grandmother died? And then, you know, it started out as simple as make me a YouTube playlist of Chronic Town and see what it does. filtered or blocked by YouTube. So if there's if I want to hear the version of Standing on the Beach, like if I want to hear the cassette version of the Cure's Greatest Hits from 1985, if I want to hear what is Beat by English Beat. Even even where I use f the equivalent of like a a Picard or Music Brains thing, I say, you know, for the album ID, make me a YouTube playlist.

It's not actually as John Sarkeese says, you know, it's all input. God. And I said I can't it can't this this work gets good though, because like that was already okay, that's pretty hilarious. Yeah, yeah, right away. It was it was bad. It intentionally kneecapped it so you literally couldn't uh it l like uh I I Um and when I would say blah blah blah, I want to make a card for my 16-year-old kid who likes homework and uh reading Dune or whatever. of, you know, and Hathaway. And there is a little bit of filtering involved, especially with image generation, but this uh on the right fear that there's oh a conspiracy around uh like we're Like ideally every book that's ever been made in every edition, but we won't we don't want people to be able to access anything objectionable.

They but they they wanted to avoid controversy and no one was mad that uh a Nazi image showed up. Right. Yeah, it's it's right like some of the conversation is So they're trying to be diverse. Boy, please don't quote me on this because I don't mean it the way it sounds. And th what you consider to be the right number of people being black people who are serving in the army of the Empire of Japan. Because there probably weren't a lot of those. They they ha like handle. You can eventually make it. Urrr not not just Japanese uh Nazis people also went in and did that very annoying thing. I I remain committed to providing diverse and inclusive content. Great replacement people being like, oh my god.

it became apparent to a like AI experts and uh p people who knew what they were uh talking about. all th that uh bullshit and can I get a picture of a slave who looks like me right it was like I want yeah and initially like what you know hot lady slave Oh all right, so uh but uh then b you know, a AI experts are g are going in and obviously you can't uh see uh the the back end of uh any of this, but or in the style of a German Expressionist film, like make it look like the set from Cabinet of Dr. Yeah. A shortcut, right? And like, right? And it's like that's not that that's bad, but like part of what makes this so powerful and like I don't know, I'm not sure why I'm saying this, except that like once you really get your hands dirty with this stuff, you start God, step zero about this stuff is you'll you'll be surprised, contra everything you ever learned about using a computer, where you learn not to search for too many things on Google or it gets confused.

gorillas would come up like horrifically racist things and uh they were just covering their asses. for nearly a decade, uh, you know, you used to like a g you could Google black people and still and uh f uh further kneecap things to be uh in uh just uh b bad. uh uh like perplexity and stuff are gonna be like no it is let's not do this in a lazy way. Right. That would be very hobbling to a lot hobbling, sorry. Mm-hmm. The challenge this week was to do something like that. Not necessarily, I mean I I do like what prompt I use and then tag with wit whatever model you use to create it. And I would love to have that in a bloggy blog uh format and I'm just on the one hand it's sort of I've I've done that a couple times like with with 3D printing stuff where I'll is that what you're talking about where I'll go like, okay Uh uh here's my printer that I've got.

scene naming. the where's scene naming thing. CBR or VBR, like whatever it is, but all those settings, and if you don't do that, these get rejected. First thing. And I can't do it off the dome, but stuff like look in every look in a folder. whatever those are, and you say, or dot RMs for that matter. If you just name it old sci-fi movie, you're kind of fucked. for the settings that you use to derive something or for the settings that I use to print something. What what what's wrong? And you have uh a question and three answers. is trying to go from like, I feel like over the 14 weeks we've been doing this challenge. more people knew about being trans in America, something like that, right? This.

to a YouTube video that's an Alan Watts talk for so many reasons. Yeah. And it's it's not magic. What I want to say is, even in that easy first one, hey, being trans in America, it's like being everything in America, being anything in America. Uh yeah, I've believed that to an extent in the past, but I think a lot of people continue to believe that now, which is like the guy in a wig with big hands that I saw on Muni. We're all, in this case, Americans, and like how can you be any one thing one way in America? Kids love armor hot dogs. unfavorable media or you know watching Dress to Kill in the early eighties or or whatever or or around the same time. So I thought maybe they? Let's talk about the green onion.

still more Alan Watts, which is more of like just because you really like a model doesn't make it real. real to us than they actually really are in the real world, let alone to other people. Because you call this a rock, but the more that you zoom in, the more you see that that's actually made out of crystals. No, this is all absolutely true. w Western civilization on some on really civilization on some level, and Western civilization on on a very understandable level. But like what if that is just a model? By learning that that means day, hour, minute, right? N it's not really. Day is light and it's like, wow, that's pretty good. Yeah, yeah, yeah, but it's still mostly three hundred and sixty-five days.

are really a binary. You know, again Okay, all right, I get it. So do you want me to look at night or do you want me to look at day? Three degrees off from that is so gross to me. You're doing none of the work of trying to understand other people unless they can find a way for it to mostly fit into something that you're okay with. Otherwise you just reject it. There's not that much that's the same about all of them. And that's why I'm trying to stay aware of the fact that I don't I don't want my kid, let alone anybody, to have to explain their deal to me. Huh. Cause you know that phrase Noah? Each sorry, not every time. journey, it might be even too good of an example because like with backpacks, you know, it's one of those things is a journey that kind of never ends.

This this was a really big deal, I think, in the in the dark days of the laptops, where in those days where if Dave Weigel's e key stopped working, they would have to replace like half the computer. they got anywhere near saying it was water resistant, he's like, I've never I've never had a problem. You know what I mean? Whitecastle, McDonald's, these early fast you probably heard the um did you hear the podcast about White Castle? iPhone 7. What's the deal with these people? Mm-hmm. Saga. get as much work done. Oh, uh about it was a really long time ago, yeah. three weeks or so after that, it started getting a little bit uppity and uh I'm like all right, and I'll just maybe like you said, I'll maybe go away.

Maybe I just got lucky sometimes in the past. program with uh Raverside, it started crashing, and I thought, eh, it's chromium, whatever. I think quite creative. started to crash and started to have uh weird uh uh keyboard like my keyboard shortcuts weren't uh working and phone to make sure that everything wa was sinking fine. day it happened to be like something probably failed. Yes. And uh the th and uh first of all I was like, I call foul on that because I'm s believe me, I know from water damage. so so cautious with my laptop because you know there's no big boss anymore being able to replace it overnight night. Fully a dick? Oh. It's 1600. Because I loved it so much and um and uh but you really I really do pay attention and I still don't really quite understand completely what's going on.

the treble just a little bit, kept base where it was, and I said do the whatever the version of like dialogue boost is. And you look forward to the janky ass way that this tries to integrate with the Google Apps at this point, that could be for you. You know, you I don't know if you remember this. actual like labor that's involved in making those. Oh yeah, yeah. And it goes, okay, um, on your web browser, go to a search site, like for example, google. impossible to figure out the little bit of the man behind the curtain, even if you can't directly look at the underlying model, there are aspects of the instruction layer. Right, and that is not the that was not the case with Gemini. don't want any objectionable content.

Here's an example I just sent you of two prompts. Uh boy, it's really did you ever end up watching for profit online university? I I'll send these to you and you tell me I think these look a lot like my kid in a way that really surprised me. Right. like public domain stuff, which I and I ran into that with do you remember the joke you won about characters from liter of course you do. But anyway, I think it was like there's the whole living person thing. Like, no the thing is, I'm trying to think of examples of ones. It will not give you the effigy, the uh graven image, as as mother would put it. I mean Do all kids do is that just what smart nerdy kids look like? So much. That is su I mean it's funny to have learned that through downloading stuff from the internet, but boy is it ever good in practice.

really frustrating. Like you just paste in stuff from your clipboard that's in Markdown and you don't even see the markdown. No, no. I think the reason that that was just slightly interesting to me uh mention is because you r really Alan Watts ha does a very good and very approachable job of helping Western especially really he talks about this especially American people Mm-hmm. like one sentence drill tweet that I still think is one of Drill's greatest tweets, which is something like, okay everybody, slow down and explain what's going on right now. And for a long time, people have been trying to end conversations. about your beliefs. Mm-hmm. I used to hear this. biases in the psychological sense.

And like, what if you're actually what if you're attracted to all kinds of people regardless of what kind of cauliflower they have down on the ranch? What if you like big boobs but only in men? That was the third part. 'cause that would get you to go away. Is having the vulnerability and willful stupidity to try to be aware of at the very least is not the same for everybody. No, as a what? to prepare the way and plan and things, but I I'll come back to it 'cause I want to hear you I I like talking about the topic we're talking about. Which i I I get for most things, but especially for phones. I uh I mean the hmm I know you you think it's unseemly when I talk about money, but the love when you talk about money and labor.

Actually, I learned something so important about Instacart last week. Uh well I'm not sure. That looked very cool, honestly, of people in the rain using their phones. Yeah. a Mac or touch ID keyboard and then it goes away, boy, are you gonna notice it so much more than you think. And I was thrilled working fine. I had them send it back to my uh uh apartment. And I I'm think I've been getting a little bit better in terms of my um mental health stuff and I didn't want to Usually that involves blood. People who are familiar with logic, we know it crashes. Oh, well uh uh the but I I was doing things because l logic started to crash. At a certain point, don't you start to feel like, ugh, I'll use a different device or I won't use it for this particular thing.

Like what do you what do you think's gonna happen? Which is more often than I'd like to admit, somebody else gets my old phone, usually my my lady friend. And and like it's still it's still like on my AirPods Macs, like still sometimes I've gotta like plug them in and out several times for it to know that it's Yeah, they're they're not they they um are recording. Is there anything else I should tell you about? Not necessarily about the the the uh you guys can have like a month-long summit on your third favorite place to retire to, probably. Alex and well here's what I haven't gotten into. I like TV. Um one is uh you're pretty new to LLMs and you don't want to futz around with it a lot. Gemini.

And I know that there's stuff I could get away with in diffusion or whatever that I won't get away with anywhere else. You learn you do eventually learn things like you can ask it to summarize a YouTube video, but guess how it does it? Yes. Uh r right. The Google version of Dali, I guess, right? Now I can understand why it would say like I can't give you hold in Caulfield because maybe this is JD Salinger alive? Right? But then you go further back and if you provide any amount of specificity that would make the thing actually useful and act as I'm sorry, I'm not trying to sound fancy about this. done because it's g Google of of course, um th enr enraged It's I mean it's it is w uh weird but understandable and it's understandishable but with uh yes.

I don't remember what I'm stealing that from. Nee, why am I not seeing this on uh oh no, I just haven't uh You probably banged my blocked me What I And I never mentioned it. lessons that I have. Not enough people know about it, but that's not my story to tell. And what's the problem with that direction? grow corn or whatever. Something well classic Merlin that's gonna seem like the dumbest fucking thing in the world to everybody, but for different reasons. Is exactly 365 days long. There's a time in your life you consider yourself uh a lesbian, right? You well, that's I can see why how you got there. Mmm hm mm hm I mean, you know. So of course I still say it. Blind uh f f hog found in a uh uh uh isn't that hogist.

I genuinely like hearing these stories because I know that they can sound like gripes, but it really uh There's there's people, you know, heating the adhesive that keeps things together that can, you know, maybe the person who was doing that's Oh put in show notes. In your they suit and you would just hop into the pool at the uh Hilton. Well I mean what was the what was the expectation of of water resistance at that time? Well that's what I This is why I put my watch in the bathtub now. That wasn't the nineties. What is the deal with transubstantiation? He likes to watch. So you got you got gutsy. Yes. Yeah, yeah. Well, again, I'm that's that's a silly thing to say, but I I'm just saying that like if you suddenly even on your on your telephone, if your telephone stopped scanning your face right, woof, like it gets really far.

A few days ago, I I brought her in and I'm like, hey, things are getting wonky, not just with the touch ID, but kind of Everything just feels weird. Like i it would get an input, but then something b bonkers would happen. restart, but I would have to it would uh completely like freeze up and the only thing that would work is touching the little in the menu bar doesn't it make you timid about using it? You know, and you have you know these people, I bet Max was like this. And it was so upsetting to and stressful to me. What do you have on yours? It depends. But hostage. Uh Shogun follows the collision of two ambition uh ambitious men from different worlds and a mysterious female samurai It's lame, Alex.

What I had heard was somebody did a search and basically I don't know if they'd asked for this or to come up with this, but it sounds like people in Nazi-like uniforms were presented and they included like like black people. What part of that? And you're and it's one of those things where like you find a leak or a hole where you could like like people realize you can sometimes get to the instructions for a GPT or you can download CSVs for like there's no it's not No, no, no, no. what that something is objectionable and then how you address that because it's not really a library anymore if you take out all the stuff someone could find objectionable. It's you know rather than 'cause like if you well did you ask for that, but you it sounds like you're saying you could not ask for an all-white group of Naz Nazis.

Because I was able to get some pretty interesting stuff. All those different things. Is happening in Chicagoland this weekend and it's called uh let's say it's called uh I don't know whatever. And you know, if you say stuff like, please never mention the name of a painter on here when asking me to make art for you, it's like that's just weird. in to uh even further factions on uh the right and right and left So, like, why would you ban black paint? This is gorgeous. Oh my gosh. detail ID for it. I did indeed. No. It's just him doing one of his extemporaneous talks, but I somebody has decided at this at something called like the Ellen Watts Foundation or whatever, has decided to add a music bed so you can act like it's for for meditation.

Right. French philosophy in the 70s and 80s wasn't just to make you feel stupid. And once every four years we add an extra day. What if the binaries that we see so clearly? Just for the sake of argument, you identified yourself as a woman, and you would be like with a woman, in whatever way with means for you. I uh it i along with seeing, oh wow, this meat is really bad, they didn't really take away the oh wow As much. I why did you promise yourself you're not going to talk? That's by design in the question. And and the bird You were around in the nineties, weren't you? I don't know because I didn't go to dances in middle school. broken touch ID button on my laptop. A fixation around the street.

It at first it was the keyboard on the laptop, which I thought had something. Yes. I don't know. I see what you're saying. The smallest, smallest nick in the screen that could ever be detected And uh and I didn't get it fixed. Hey, White Castle. I will find time to watch six hours of World War II documentaries at a night. Listen. I I've got I've gotten dinged. They're the people who initially were like, Google, Google, um, ah, they hate the whites and Could this be the end? Okay, so I already know because I I I I know a lot about Alan Watts. N no. And like you've got to keep that alive. Because when I first heard Janelle Monet describe to me, I was like, what? Mm we uh uh genuinely, wait, what do you mean b redeployed assets is yes, je genuinely as in like uh assets as a bit?

buying insurance basically. Uh that that idea that whole industry was really harmed. I but I I just mean like you were there making those um mik dil d B L Ts? I got I gotta get sad. So you drop things and then you end up having to cash in on your uh Pro Plus. Yeah. that it couldn't uh like run things properly when I it would uh open a program. somehow, I don't know, pissed into the keyboard. I was telling Roderick. On my screen I get four icons across and one, two, three, four, five, six icons down. Anyways. Um this thing, you get a little bit of rumble, you get a little bit of boom, you get nice. That was that would have been really handy as a ethos for the world in the 1400s. Because minor.

the r the right and uh like ah censorship which we indeed go Google's like yeah we were trying to uh avoid offensive uh content blah blah uh but in doing so they uh it I worry it will kind of push the Overton window of AI creators Well like my my working at it. interrogate things that uh about the world that they think they know very, very well. Oh yeah. It's one of those things where it's like the first time like they say the first person who ever ate an oyster, like what were they thinking? Do you know what I mean? Literally never has uh been. This thing, we don't have the problem. That's very wholesome. I don't have intercourse. Uh because Google this wasn't because of Google's m model that it had uh naturally cr created with, you know, all of the images and stuff it it uh scraped.

And ev almost every single query I got that. And and like spoiler alert, he's been gone for a while. Which is why they did like a big uh uh apology be and why it was actually putting up a sign that says no cussing in the sacristy. But like if you had an art supply store that just didn't sell black paint because they were worried what people would do with it. Yeah. Show me the part where I mentioned that this is about Sydney. I don't want to become another voice that's just out there looking sad and telling you how dour this situation is because of these beleaguered creatures. You know, fat kids, skinny kids, kids who climb on rocks, even kids with chickenpox. Uh shit, I don't even want to say it wrong.

Also started being wonky. You know how uh we feel about uh drafts. There'll be times when that happens and you're like, that seems so weird. Yeah, I heard that. I really enjoyed so like when I got it the whole thing where I got into the chimp detective in a fancy suit riding on a copy barra And I don't know if you saw the ones that it made, but I uh then finally I was doing it with ChatGPT and I had not given ChatGPT Pretty much. What? They still don't quote understand. So yeah. Um, but you know, I'm doing a lot. You know how it is. I think it m might be almost the fourth. Like when a part of your car is failing and you're like, I guess I just won't use my brakes as much anymore. Oh, I just couldn't call her good be like good Charlie, good Charlie.

changing what results you got, not through the algorithm of their MLM or their LLM. And I just sent you an egg example that is a like nuanced, confusing one that's uh asking for diverse uh oh Or even though that's in my head, I'm thinking second, I'm thinking, oh, well, that's out of copyright and I don't know. When buddy, this ain't for what you call meditation. my the shape of my brain and my apprehensions onto everything around me. That's really cute. I don't I don't want the show just to to I like talking a lot, but I I I I like talking and I like talking about me. Everything is built to spec. A brand is when you know, like, okay, they've successfully, they've cracked this particular nut.

Because I don't know I can put my hand to a solution for that in so many ways that I love being reminded of all the ways I could be improving that with the things that I do. Oh, I wish. You just explained to me how to Google? Second thing, there's a space. Well, you're just trying to confuse me. Mmm. So that is that that thing, like the batteries moved around or something like that? We should start the show. Uh show me Yeah. It's not simply talking for clapping, it's talking a lot for clapping. Yeah. I'm gonna explain, explain all of this. Because that's a big fucking problem in this country. The binaries are mostly a model, and it really is worth examining how many things you're pretty positive can only be on and off.

In heaven. I successfully got an iced coffee and there was no blows thrown. And right now I am using a uh 2016 MacBook Pro. It was actually um i a very fast uh turnaround, but they i i it i I came back And it was it's like going down it slowly, slowly fell down the the hill. You sound good. I watch I watch a lot of TV, Alex. Well, you you know about the kerfuffle around uh the im images, right? Um and the the kerfuffel was because of which part of that? Syracuse likes to say the model's finished. Pretty much everybody knows what that looks like. Hello good time. Because the thing is, I don't know what your deal is. I understand that it's just cooking and if I get close enough I'll be fine. Talking about Donald Trump as an agent of chaos.

Life qua life. Her her father uh her father's name is Joey and he has the same last name. We we we we crack wise about Starbucks. Like the deductible. This is why I have no patience for people who don't have magical thinking. The tiniest little Nick. Did you did you pull out? Don't use this area. I'm just saying like for a two-year-old this is a pretty cool. Did you look at the other images? I do too. And I thought, do I wanna do I want to fix that? First of all, all horses don't actually age one year on January first. Huh. Wasn't my purse, but I'm not against it. And you know did you know that when he says when when God when uh I think whoever wrote Genesis? It's a family. Exactly. I'm not I'm not making fun of you.

Uh I mean uh n dick duck challenge like when we uh okay, no cu I it Um, you're the potato man. The molecules are made out of atoms. I I've certainly thought this in a different time in my life. I don't know if I'm describing this well. But anyway, that that that's how I got there. It flipped that little there's some kind of a sensor, I guess, that says Oh, b I'm aware of the sensor now. Cameron has not been on the scene for several episodes. It could be Charlie. It came from Oh, as a nickname that's cute, but as a regular name, that's real bad. Uh-huh. Roderick had day well offline I was telling him the what phone he should get to replace his broken one and and I was trying to explain I was like, I'm just about to say something that's gonna make no sense at all.

You have to spin it from a different angle, I guess. So uh uh yeah, Kathy and Campbell and I I just just talked about this. It's uh oh okay, wait. Idea number one is what I wish people knew. It's a gift. But okay, that's cool. Sorry, I know I'm not supposed to say it. It could be a lot of people. That you my God, you've uh you're okay, so you're not at one point. Yes, yes, yes, yes. They're they won't play along. Especially today, Alex. When you got it back when you did get it back? Like i so I'm like, all right, fine. And I I dismissed the Electron apps. If she hasn't figured it out, I shouldn't tell her. I've got I can't. Should I should I should name the look. Are you watching Shogun? There are elements of making playlists that I like.

And I I think I think I did post this and you might have seen it. Like I'm like I'm not but you know you you come to appreciate that and like thank God for Martha, thank God for Mickey, thank God for all of that, you know. It's one thing to go like, I we want this to be palatable to everybody and show representation. I um I request the show. Because first of all, that's just like a thing that we've kind of put together for this. Sun w sunrise. It doesn't recognize me when I'm breathing. Really good. Kangaroo size or whatever. That would be weird if it did, but it's affected Muscarlet. Swords and boats. They're in the Japans and they have found the secret trade route that the uh Portuguese have been hiding from everybody.

Yeah. That's the dream. Yep. They ended up unintentionally seeming to prove the point that those Chuds had been making the whole time, which is that there is an arbitrary editorial, a heavy editorial hand. And so like if you've ever seen me say the thing paren nineteen eighty two or whatever, right? No, I just wanted to start doing more to actually like post post-actual stuff. Yes. So the challenge is officially over. The third part is as much as I swear to Christ I'm trying, it's not the only thing I do in life, but it's become valuable to me to stop trying to put No, be honest with me, like, but if you if you get if you get what I'm saying, like give me an example, because I'm curious to see, because I I think it is a thing.

That's when 3. Steak of no steak from the Outback. And it wouldn't crash the whole computer necessarily, just you know, no kernel panics. But like ransom as in like what you pay to get a hostage. I would test the family. It's so it won't let me do anything. There's uh, you know, literally. Well here's another one. Okay, so like could you do that for Roosevelt? You really feel that it is designed understandably. Tell me if I post that people are gonna go, oh boy, that sounds stupid. Is like what I wish people could know and why am I saying that, Alex? So you say you say some shit like, but yeah, but isn't this blah blah that and the ergo, you know, two colons and this, and you're like, well, no, that's actually not logically true at all.

There's some things where I have pretty good luck at things. Jesse James Garrett. And if it wasn't the uh party line as you say, was if you have Apple Care And he's one of those guys, well you know, but you know the type like House, right? I can spin a tray. I see. It's our TV is like if it was an inch bigger diagonally, it would be too much. We d we I just did it again! Some of these will not you could say I want something German expressionist, but you you could not say make it look like the Fritz Lang movie Metropolis. To me, that's where Dr. I wish there was a standard. I'm I am on your uh personal blog right now. I know you think you know about Alan Watts. It's not even really Buddhism in many ways, but it it very much is a way about challenging I think Alan Watts in general.

There's some pretty straightforward ways. What I'm saying is that it is very valuable to have models heuristics. But somebody who's pansexual, pan, right? Like there's someone on an assembly line pushing together these parts and like he didn't know his name is Bopal and I love him very much. I've told this story. Alright, fine. Yes, absolutely. Like Casey's just always wrecking equipment and cracking his screen and stuff and like he doesn't know to keep it in a in a pre pouch before it goes into its regular bag for your pocket. She she's uh her daughter's climbing a wall with doing wall climbing. Somebody bleeding or like when your lymph nodes close your airway or something. That's that's when I I I mean it w it was drafts where um I thought, okay, something's really wrong and that It's no, it's it's weird.

I mean, people were mad for many different reasons. Go on. I don't care what your fucking deal is. That's all I'm saying. I don't think it moves a lot. No. What? Understanding. I didn't know we were this is the show. Hmm. But I'm anyway, I'm sorry, I'm I'm rambling on. So I think that's a good question. They were from so and I said this like at the time of like okay, so Gemini is getting all this attention, but like to me, don't sleep on image effects or whatever it's called. Yeah, more more um yeah, more well this is again more of um a like a pl a place to publish all all of the stuff. Well what does it mean? Oh my god, we talked for a long oh my god is this clock right and you're cocking me out?

This is very Ellen Watts, I have to admit. I know this my religion says that we're here to do things that are good and to defeat things that are evil. Does it apply to everything? It's not a particularly brilliant or insightful point, but it's fucking real. No, like assets like is this a technical word? The thing that podcast episode highlights was that like it was a real crapshoot. You know, I gotta get innocuous, as L C D Sound System says. And for whatever reason, Jesse's keyboard he must have had like acid in his fingers. But even with more like like, you know, um, you're giving it the velocity to keep spinning, and I would just we'd be, ugh. I um I doesn't it drive you crazy though? I guess we'll go back to acting like we're watching this on a plane with with you know AirPod ones.

In my early-ish days, one of my things was like, it seems to me that I should be able, like, I spend a fair amount of time making playlists. I've gotten dinged on so much stuff that I can just I cannot understand what about it. But uh this went I can't believe I'm I'm saying this. I gotta like try I don't know when I put I can tell when I put this up, but I'm not sure which one that is. It also lets you operate with some confidence now because if you want to go find, it's not that difficult now to say, go through this entire big folder, for example, on a Synology. But like to get to that third idea, I had to get through two other ideas. And you're like, there are so many examples. To explain what it means to be trans in America means trying to explain it to me in ways that will make sense to me, even though I swear to fucking God I'm trying so hard.

Not not just to let them know who you are, not just the idea of who you are. Oh. No, if I ask you, you'll show me. Yeah. It's basically a deductible on your phone. Like ransom, you know, those used to mean a different thing. Down down. That is pretty wild to me. So when to say that. That was fascinating. I do I do, but there's a reason watches don't say waterproof anymore. You got you got confident, it sounds like you you had so far not but I bet the first time you do that, you must have felt like No, that's what House thinks Olivia what's her name, though the Olivia with the bigger. Wow, excuse me, goodness. And I thought too many plug-ins. That is incredibly stressful to me. I mean here's one.

He doesn't jump into the dock. Yeah. But it would do it and it would make it. They took it down because it wasn't. Like uh oh wow, you mean it d didn't generate something uh cut it didn't generate uh a perfectly correct George Washington? It's this kind of filament, it's these settings. Okay. But like in anything, if I'm expects expected to be the person who holds whatever your genitals are to explain something to you that you're not actually that interested in to begin with. Do you know what today is? Or I don't I th I I'm I don't I I'm not sure if I understand that, but like I'm empathetic toward that. Did she was uh this child sent to uh g a European boarding school and just like in heaven?

He filled it with air, which can cause an embolism, so be careful. Pick Elaine. Like I I do not treat it as a lunch tread as fun as it would be. It's like being a pickpocket. And I'm not trying to sell you on this soundbar. I'm just saying sometimes in life things go better than you expected, and you have to appreciate that for for the thing that it is. Well well, all the wholesomeness and gone. And almost every single thing I searched for, which I couldn't figure it out, maybe because I'm a heathen, I could not figure out what it thought was objectionable about what I was asking for. Like there's several things about that where it's gonna go, I I can't do that for you. Night versus day. You don't understand why people in West Virginia like Donald Trump.

Well, I uh uh a mistake that I made at at the time. My egregious tips to the guy at Instacart who just sent me six photos of empty shelves to prove that Hey, labor laws. Like everybody else is fine with running through the LG TV speakers in what's called uh voice boost mode. Here's another one. So don't look at that part, but look at the Billy in that photo of uh make a Valentine's Day card. And it's the part from the other piece, the complementary, if you like, opposite piece that makes it yin and yang. Like, yeah, but you know what? Is that correct? I don't understand. Means it's not touch our date. Fully a nick? People in our in the Only Good Slack had talked about I think it's the one KC has in likes, but I'm not sure.

And so like we all have these little like, you know, test things that we run. Oh my god. And then in parentheses, nineteen seventy-seven. So it never gets confused about which. And like, so it's you could say to somebody, what's it like to be tall in America? Yeah, there's a lot of like like uh a lot of brunettes who like indie rock for some reason. They call it a public school there. You mean in terms of like dependability and and ruggedness. I'll cut off about Allen Walks. Oh no, I'm in I'm in a stretch right now where he is. And like I get where you're going with that, but that's that with certain kinds of diversity It isn't until it is. Like the a topic up for Syracuse and me. Okay, so when you guys, I don't know what you guys do for fucking, but which one of you has the dick?

Like, no matter what level you go at that at. Like everybody's got this stuff in this world that like if it's my thing and I'm hung up about it, quote unquote. There's pictures, and if you hate it, we'll take it down. Because as soon as I saw that kid climbing, I'm like, it's not the kid that's gonna have the medical mystery. They're looking at their phones. I wasn't gonna say it, but you you sound I hate when people say that, you sound like yourself, but you seem Uh well I'm not it that I that shouldn't affect my uh uh scarlet uh How far did you pull out on my phone? So if I if if the family's out of the house, you know, Thurs today's Thursday, Thursday is my Thursday, part of what I do is uh a power putter.

But like a lot of them just won't do it. And when I am expected to do the same it's really frustrating to me. Do you want to s come see it? There are so many things that we do to, as Stuart Lee says, for a quiet life. Life for what it is rather than what you think it is. Huh. The second one I'm gonna talk about is having purchased a sound bar for my television set. Anna Beast from Record of the Jedi. It was a little in retrospect as McDonald's goes, it was a little overbuilt. So the thing is, like maybe I don't get as many cracked screens. It was after Charlotte's Webb. I learned that when I was a bus boy. What I haven't gotten into is that my my young person, and to some extent I'm not cheating on my wife.

No, don't uh don't uh don't apologize, don't apologize. Alan Watts and it's like basically sweating out of my pores at this point. I realize I read it again this morning and I thought I could understand how a stranger would read this and think I'm talking about my own experience as a trans person. Everybody's different. Now everybody explain it to me like I'm a two-year-old. And like oh okay, that's really understanding you seem real picky about that stuff. Sometimes almost always it is. I got a lot, I'm doing a lot of I'm doing a lot of stuff with computers right now. Did you do the uh SVU thing that we've talked about before? And uh hey everyone, gonna get real about this show. But then, here's what made me uh this like snapped me out of my denial.

Now, uh the here here if in theory Cat Charlie, previously known as Charlotte, or our uh Cat Francis, had His name's Lil Nick. No yeah, no use it's a little bit more than a little bit. Like right now, I'm obsessed with an album by this band called Hop Along. I really do. If I overengineered the prompt, yeah, that's that's what I meant by stepping on my own dick. The thing that a lot of people objected to that we're hopefully all getting kind of used to is like whether that's now today you think of something like Bridgerton. Well, we don't want people talking about black paint in here because it could be used you can in the same way that you could use a pairing knife from Walmart to cut yourself repeatedly as you're blogging about it.

Fuck you. Doing uh doing work, school work, big school work, right? The atoms contain neutrons, etc. What's the name of the singer from that dog, Alex? When you go to pick it up, you do while you're there, do you flip it on and log in once and then see if it works? She is, and maybe she has a different flicker thumb. It means it's it's an unambiguous way to name files that every decent place on the internet where you can find files demands that you do it. But like you know, I don't know, like it's got that subscribe thing and the blah blah blah. I have a thing called a call out that I can use on Ghost, which is old. Does it work for spaceships? This week's challenge, do something bloggy. I was I was I was heavily trained in the McDLT as as somebody who worked on the grill.

Right, right. Yeah. And what I said on the internet that I think is true, Gemini is fine for a person where where two things apply to them. Well, on Spotify, I can go and find playlists of albums that have been out of print for 30, 40 years. I was trying to get it. Dr. It has nothing to do with what I gave it, but like, man, give that horse some lime. The second to the last paragraph, which I do want to talk about, is briefly, is just Like one of my favorite people I ever work with. And you you fig you try to figure things out. It's like cheating, right? But the diversity goes too far if you feel like you've got to show I mean like there's a thing that like I don't know, I I've I don't know why I'm I'm idiotically becoming more comfortable talking about this and my awareness of this, but there's something called scene naming or where's I don't know what kind of cauliflower you're growing under the farm down there.

And John's like, well, yeah, but that also depends. Right? And that was the that was the big takeaway for me. Oh, I do every single day. Yeah. Because your laptop you're not you're not seeing what ha what had happened was the MacBook that you use in love, not as much as your phone, the one that you use for your stuff, your primary when you use a Mac Mac, correct Ah, isn't it great? Now touch ID, it's great because I have touch ID uh on this. It's a family. It's great. And I thought, oh my god, I've so got the first one of these for Gemini, which is I went through drafts and found my old So so so so altright white wing Nazi types were were they the ones that were primarily mad about this? And on one on on one or more of these, I might have even no, I don't know if it's China.

And I'm not I'm not saying it's bad to learn the axes. It's only our own belief in cleaving to these binaries. And what if there were more exceptions to that rule than you wanted to realize? I I am I'm making any sense at all. Two hours fifteen minutes. The thing was there was a time when you know there's a time when people didn't take their family to the movie theater because it didn't it seemed like a like a dark, weird place to take people. He made he made a little golem man, a little atom, little atom, that's like the SoundCloud rapper, made a little atom out of the out of the earth, and then he I'm like, alright, yeah, sure shortcuts isn't working. People where they're just always doing something, like spinning a pen or doing Jamie used to spin his iPhone on the tip of his finger.

And I am looking is what it is. No, it's not My my little uh my my double nicks. Um I know. Did you understand what it is that you're asking for? Wait a minute. But what if those men like this sounds really confusing and like I'm trying to be silly? It's such a fraught word. Who's designed I ask you and Whose design? No, if I ask you to show you. That was I yes, because I drop decades sometimes, Alex. Because I am It might not be that you're careless. Like no matter what, like I don't know. Like when I put on tenant, you guys, you get out of the house. Caligari comes in. Well my radar naming is really good. Show me the part on the page. But like, you know, I've been I've been I've been preaching this gospel for a pretty long time.

No, I'm actually not. It's nice that people find love. But you know that actress uh from Hidden Figures, the really pretty woman. What do you take away from that? Just this this whole thing of like in this whole American experiment, we are we are so reluctant to kind of That's weird. You just go in a circle? Like get stuck in the groove for a nanosecond. The model is not gonna change. Like I I I especially understand, I don't like, but I understand, I think, why it won't do Mike Pence because Stickers of trucks and cats. And uh make Billy Joel as uh as a Santorin, and that was a fun thread. That stuff still seems completely random to me. Go on with what? That was a thing I didn't write for Fast Company.

It might not work for Syracuse, because what does? It's so that I can know how little I know and how little I contribute by constantly asking people to make something into something I can understand. Tell me tell me one of yours. I am going to get the Apple Care Plus Pro uh whatever the heck. Uh well I sh And so the the thing is though you go you roll in there, you set up the thing and then they'll try to fix it for you. Yeah. Whatever. Drafts does not seem like a normal candidate for being the source of a problem person. It's fine. Like if you only mm-hmm. So like on your on your when you turn on your phone, do you have it near you? No. Guess what else it's got? First of all, like the fact you can't do YouTube, that ends up now seeming merely funny.

Or flu like you could even say I want it to be in the style of Mona Lisa by, you know, Da Vinci, right? And you say if it doesn't have this kind of information in it, mark it. There's, you know what? You're probably about six weeks away from inventing fire and wheels. So I like girls. We all do it all the time. Um anyway, if I may, that's weird. But but but like it works great. You're not gonna want to do stuff like that. It's the same reason I still don't have a like we said last time. There's ways that you can like tease out. I'm saying it's great art for a two-year-old. Do my Friday, give us a fucking Mario Carl. And you're like, no, see, you're just being funny now. And I would not want to use the profile of my past to derive an idea about how everybody else loves, let alone sees, the world.

And just like a like that's a thing. Yeah, well, it's that's part of the that's part of the fun. You don't think so? But yes, I'm I'm but tell teller listeners what you're talking about. No, I'm I'm saying like, um, well, big big big push right now, we want to make the greatest collection of books in the world. Now that sounds like an LCD sound system, so dunk dunk dunk dunk. Well, a lot of them won't do Franklin Delano Roosevelt either. And I thought, you know what, I definitely don't want to fix that. When you use a word like trans, when you use a word like queer, you gay, bi, whatever the word you use, you have to use a word that you think I'll understand and dumb it impossi fucking impossibly dumb it down.

Like that's so I wanted to say that. Yes, Neolithic people were able to identify Gorg Can't See, Cave too Dark. What changes is the Earth's position, and I'd be happy to explain to you how seasons work. And then so really technically three hundred and sixty-five and a quarter. And the final one is I just wanted to say what I always wanted to say, which was this is not Shit, I'm so sorry. Oh, so do I want to see day? But there's a first there's a person in my life who when they first started talking when sometimes go, that's weird. Are there things where you generally have great luck and then something you had something dumb you couldn't predict? They're gonna you're gonna bring that in. I bet it's gonna be her.

Oh, I'm not sure. Yeah, this is well I wouldn't be able to pay for the medicine that makes me myself. It's really disruptive. And this actor who seems like this uncanny combination of Daniel Day-Lewis and Tom Hardy. But you don't you don't do you want to watch a Christopher Nolan movie like that? I was trying to get I don't know I at this point I don't remember which it was, but I was trying to get um oh I know. I understand how you got there, but do you really understand what's going on there? And it's like, yeah, but what if what people want is actually an agent of chaos She likes what? And so we just saw the one with oh you know who it is? But the key or is it something underlying the key?

I'll try it on my wife's computer. He's a sound cut rapper. Technically it's not on now. I know. Listening to Squeeze singles 45s and under has such a special place in my heart. There's a very good drill tweet. And when I say binary, I don't I don't not just talking about, I'm not talking about anything related to just people. There's also twilight. Please no, please no Live and live live. And I'm yelling, uh, uh, uh, but look, look at the little girl, she's got uh a little stitch in in her calf Uh let's get as much work done as uh possible and uh just k while this the gitting's good with my brain. So like they had it, they fixed it. And it would link to things that looked like real videos, but they would all come up unavailable.

If it's on an official site versus a non-official site, so I don't get the stuff where it's backwards because somebody uploaded it backwards 16 years ago to like avoid getting take takedowns. What was the objectionable thing, the best, the s the smartest take on what the objectionable part of that was? You've certainly seen it parodied. They're so trippy. Yeah, I uh so did you and this was with Dolly that you I think this is Dolly. That's somebody else's story to tell. You know what I mean? I know, but I'm just saying that I I in my in this insanity, I'm not alone. And and and then the browser uh arc that I uh enjoy to r record this Uh first row, right? I didn't blah blah blah. Yeah, no. So anyway, I brought I brought um so now that I got a sound bar, what I did was I got the $500 soundbar by Sonos.

How it happened. Yeah. That would be very damaging to a lot of people who had it had not even occurred to them, because first of all, black people aren't actually black. But like what is different about it? Is daylight not night light? I said, Oh aren't I smart? But that does require a context in order to have a meaning. You get like it's like events. They talk about this in that episode. That's kind of what we're talking about, though, right? Oh, but okay. Um oh yeah. I'm mainly just celebrating that this thing has made me first of all, RTV. What I don't love is the the teaspoons of It was so fucking funny. They uh went as far I I yeah that's what you're I you used It's a good thing. Like, or you should so show something better example.

But you could also say i if it's not if you if it's not coded with like let's say I'm trying to look at stuff that I've been downloading since a long time ago, a bunch of like old AVIs or WMVs. This is for really fucking thinking hard about how your perception of the world is not the world. Well, about being trans, like I don't know a lot about it, but well, I think this you could say this about everybody and about everything. And that's just talking about an onion. We crack wise about McDonald's, but something that both of those places have in common that made them part of what made them what they are, in addition to having a lot of money behind them, was that Sure, it hasn't been happening for like years on the other side.

And I took m myself off the beta, like just double check, took took uh the beta versions off of my uh When they come home, I turn it back down. I'll do that. Like you know, you know I've got my prompts for images from back in the day. And it very enthusiastically said, Yes, I did. It depends on what you call white. Let's go to let's go straight to the big one. Just never mind, you're disinvited. Oh, because I've I've I've been I've been my health has been good lately, physically and mentally, and and so I'm probably talking too much. It's not actually that complicated. But it was ru well, right. This was God when was this? Is that not normal? Or is that smut schmut? It's extremely special. Ow l can't think.

Right. Mm-hmm. Yes. Fine, whatever. So I was gonna make a point about how every a year is always 365 days, but I chose to make that point unintentionally on the day when it's absolutely baldly not true. Okay, so you think you're you think you're you're you're you think you're a boy. You've got to stay curious about things, and you've got to be open to the idea that even the stuff that in some cases you hold dearest I use my phone. Wow. Mary very implausible accent. Like that's y that's my go-to. Like like I was basically my fault anyway. But spinning, but no, I'm talking about like like the way in keep it in motion. But no spoilers. It's such a nanny state. But then it said, well, bada da blah.

That's the big headline, right? I'm pretty sure. I'm not trying to sound woke, but like fucking which one of you is the boy? Do I want to watch what did you call it? I doubt it. Yes, yes, yes. And the The uh Apple even had commercials Well, and and that's what I get on my uh of phones because uh yep, I uh ride them hard, but So you took the C P S for you on a secure enclave. They didn't even need to replace anything. And claps. Maybe Charlie had his glass on the wrong height of surface and it's pulled onto the glass. I don't know. You can't spin like you used to. Okay. My elderly wife and my teenager. You I don't know how you do it. So do you think else in this one? Oh my god. Oh, the the those were from uh Gemini?

Really? Like it's really cool. And let me just enumerate a few. It was about saying when we use words to describe things, we're talking at levels of abstraction that we are not aware of. And all I was going to say was the the way conversations, people have tried to end this conversation for years. I'm trying to let you go cook, but yes. That's weird. Uh you know, whatever. Were they sanctioned by the Catholics? Tran tran have you heard of transformation? And I brought it in with my whiteboard and started crossing off the symptoms. I I God bless you. Gemini is the worst. Because there's something to me so specific about the sets and production design of Cabinet of Dr. So what are we really trying to address here?

So you're kind of talking almost like uh creativity to go where you'd be able to say like And instead what is I I went to college and I got only the very beginning of realized how how how fucking stupid I am, but how much I want to know more. Because I don't know for because for me the um your iPhone case I wish. And that was no no no Like I was full on in denial. Interesting. And the reason people are mad You don't need to do the old school. Yeah. I don't actually have an old man hat, but I should probably get one. Until that system uh breaks down, uh and I'm not sure. You know, from the But you know what he's saying? Smart one of the smartest people I've ever known. I It's like having one oar.

I mean, do you have any material on airplane food? Not Elaine. I couldn't get out. Uh I I can't do it anymore because the weight distri uh the the weight distribution is uh diff very different. No. But like seriously, like it's supposed to be a little bit loud. Really? I don't have a way to Gemini YouTube. I had not given it information. For any folder that has more than one thing that's of the type movie, prefer the one that is Uh two to five sentences, which Which one is the boy? Almost always it is, but sometimes my watch is a little laggy. They were for their time a really big deal because it represented you knew when you got that Starbucks cup of coffee, if you liked a certain kind of Starbucks cup of coffee.

What are they called in the community? You're like, I don't know if I can live I I almost want to get like spackle or tape or something. Ransom, like that comes up in in, you know, Shakespeare. No, understand. I don't have a side hustle. But today, just the fact that it can exist does not necessarily mean the the end of something. It purely was like we Uh the like you could ask for show uh show me a uh um show me uh picture. Yeah, being like you can't this isn't what Vikings look like. You just have to say, give me Baroque music. Oh that's the case. Yeah, you could I do that from the point when it is it remembers, no, this Star Wars. I already wrote it. They can use that in in some way that, you know, would be useful.

What they tend to leave out is the really important part, which is that on the black side, at the center of the black, is a white. Right? Well, I take away from that that if you ask a gay, they'll eventually tell you which one the boy is. What's the name of of the singer from the the band Ann Roranker. It's nice. I'm always trying to I can never get anyone to talk to me about this because I I don't know a lot about statistics. I don't understand. But now titanium, huh? Oh my god, they're funny. So I might want to say, make a poster for our Chicagoland music festival in the style If you don't name these things right, they don't get to be in the system. And it's not new by the way. Show me the part.

I've learned a lot from Alan Watts and the Alan Watts learnings cleanings And you know you get into twilight, you know there's like three kinds of twilight. Am I just trying to be confusing and say words like a Frenchman? I don't like things that look like girls. We're all like that. We all demand that to understand the world. And they've all not worked. Um it it truly is. Yeah, wait, you have the big boy, right? Yeah. There would still be weird problems with sync. They're doing filterings, essentially. But right, I mean like you're you're you haven't gotten do you want to be able to ask for show me 26 white guys sitting around in July? I'm looking the top one underneath your couple there, you'll see the one of Billy.

Today's Thursday, February 29th. She they what what? Like I c if you keep a phone for two years, I can pretty much promise you you're gonna use your Apple Care Plus at some point. They're gonna go, hey buddy, you got no Apple Care Plus. So th having a product where you're not sure. And and the um n now with like Apple Care Pro Plus His name is Herpes and I love him very much. Yeah, yeah, I did that. So one of my early ones would always be something like the 1982 EP Chronic Town by REM. I'm not sure there were that many like Indian subcontinent girls hanging out with really rich guys. Yes. Let me go double check, but I I see this is not what I expected, and I'm glad you've explained it to me. Yeah.

Then usually a space and a dash. And that makes seasons weird. Okay, but still 365. Because if you walk away from that party full of weirdos going like it seems like about half the guys in there wanted to be a guy. But let's stick to the topic here. Yes. And then and then House asks how she likes to have intercourse to find out how honest she is with the daughter. Fair Dincum. Couldn't do it anymore. And this sounds really dumb, but it feels more balanced in a way that I can't really describe. It well it feels like that. Guess what else it's got? It did not happen because Rum tell tell me and and forgive me for asking you to bore our listeners who read all this stuff exhaustively. Oh, I wonder I wonder, you know, what this what this thinks it's doing to keep me from doing stuff.

I I I don't remember if that was it, but I as I was giving that as an example, and that is an example of the you know Did you ever watch that video? And I'm being, I'm trying to be cute about this because I think you get this. James, there's a great quote from James Baldwin that's in my file where he says that you have to make make people All right, still maker who forms the clay from the ground, but which also he And when I try to shorthand it with people, they look at me like I'm out of my mind, which I might be, but like I've referred to this sometimes either as the denominator problem. It's right where he's finally gotten through the game, quote unquote, is over. But then, you know, it I had it live as just uh It's a journey, Alex.

That's funny to two people. And and like you said, the fat like you are another perfect example. And I believe it's important to avoid imagery. It's like it's so in my wheelhouse. Like, I ideally there would be a way uh in that I am trying to Because it does sound stupid. Like go ask the people who are that. But even black and white night and day. But all other kinds of binaries too, where you try to like you're puffing your pipe and you want to make Derrida look stupid. And a good way to do that is to look for a landmark as you pass it, like a light post. He would go swimming in I think in the ocean. Not just a good idea. I'm not against devices I'm against not watching my programs correctly.

What I appreciate you saying that, even if it's not true. And you know, I was trying as a joke, I was trying to make a Valentine's Day card for each of my family members, like as a bit, because dad's the the the guy who does dumb shit like this. Thank you to our friend for asking me this question. And I know I did not want to get straight into the whole like hate crime shit. That's my whole point of this is like learning the complexity of this is good. And John Sean Syracuse is making a really good point. And son depending on what you call a year That's what a year is. You're like, am I being funny? You know what I mean? Yes. It ends with camera. But you know what? Oh god. My triangulation method of drafts.

And I mean that in a much less nice way than it sounds. But the other thing is I don't want to be just another voice Like, if you do have an idea in your mind about what this is that's been formed by whether that's by Anyways, but like when you first are trying to like say to somebody like, well Keep going, keep going. I'm not sure that's altogether gonna work, but whatever. Yeah. I uh used to Some people are harder on phones than others. I would have shown you that a long time ago if that was oh man, I would have They say water resistant, and B, it's water resistant to this many meters. Do you do like a a herky jerky? Are you a drop? Olivia Wilds, yeah. House would say. And uh I'm just curious, like what else what else did you I'm I'm interested in that process.

House is all you can tell that to me anyway. Mm-hmm. You people are always talking to each other. The Catholics have converted a bunch of the locals in the Japans to to being Catholic people. It's another thing to be like. Uh no, it still goes. Well, but it's got it's got what's cool is though it's got stickers, it's got scribbles in several colors, and then it's got And I don't know, there's a lot I like about Ghost. It's just that he is you can't link That's our model for how we age horses. And that there's there's there's the second and last paragraph and the last paragraph of that are very important to me. Cause like, how many times this call have you heard me say, well, I I No, no, what does that phrase say it.

I don't know if they call it this, but in some of these things they call them events. What's wrong with you? Oh that was Chase, I see. Well, so I guess it is uh failing. I mean it really is kind of like going like, how many virgins died this year? It crashed overnight and wants me to log in again. I can I can make this last until my next paycheck, that kind of feeling. No, well ch uh Char Charlie's name, you know, Charlie. Yeah. We watch Survivor like a gentleman. But believe me, if you want to do stuff like that, you are S-O-L. However, I cannot fulfill your request due to the potential Right. I'm not trying to confuse you. And you're like, well, you know, when I first heard somebody describing, I don't know if this is accurate up to date or whatever, if I'm even getting this right, but when I first heard somebody describing Yes.

Is like with Apple, you don't worry if it has bad welds on it. And what what was the party line at that point on water resistance from Apple? I miss Big Love. But um the other thing is it's it's it's Protestants versus Catholics. I just, I'm looking at the TV. But still, I like I it's fun to go in and use prompts I've used on other just for fun, you know, just go go see what it's like. Caligari, which in my head I guess I'm thinking on the one hand, I'm thinking not much about it at all. Uh-huh, uh-huh. You zoom in a little bit more and you see that those crystals I was like, on what? Do you really not understand that? Janelle Monet. The backlash from this from basically from Upton Sinclair's book The Jungle.

Like the when you first went into water holding your phone, what was your were you expecting it to be okay? Uh yeah, I I never I've never done that. Mmm, huh. I don't like putting my TV up higher than it needs to be. It's called time boxing. Like that seems like a little bit of an omission unless I'm really missing something. Hey, whoever that guy is, the the guy with the with the guitar, if you want to make that into a song, hit me up. Yeah. And it has a do by Friday tag, which I'm why did why does it have a do by Friday tag? Um yes, as as we start the show and then ding out, there's But like for a normal person, you you could listen to one of his talks and just go, that gave me a lot to think about.

Um does it does it work for like walking on a sidewalk? Trans stuff? Do some laps with your phone in your pocket. And the Holy Spirit places a Craigslist at. Not Elaine Bennis. This is this has been a months long I'm you must be so nice to just wander around and think everything happens for a reason. But like I yeah, I ride my phones hard. First hour I'm using Gemini. Well, first of all, there are no photos of George Washington, so let's get over that. You might have had a poster of it at some point. And I've always just thought it looked really cool, unintentionally compositionally cool. And I I just I don't run into those problems like I used to because I use I'm a real I'm really picky about that kind of naming.

I I again I don't like it, but I understand it. I'm how I am. Oh god, no, that mom. This it's not that it's pretty unusual, even at a franchise McDonald's. You you need me for this one? It might well it could be, but it might just be that like we use it more and differently. He'd say we got it, you got a new you got a new symptom is what you got there. Yeah. Shogun. You watch a lot of TV. It does that the same way anybody else would by looking for a transcript and processing that text. No, no, it's not. Although the dicking around with blogging stuff is really what I meant anyway. No, no, I know. So first level, hey, all these people, quote unquote trans people, they're all different. I went into ChatGPT and I said, when I write 5H3M or I write 1D 5H3M, I want you to turn that into minutes.

Sorry. Everything's backwards. Anna. It's completely insane. That's true. There's Apple Care. They sent it back to you. And uh so and a at that time I was very m much or sorry, like st But the uh the opposite. When I gave my wife, I didn't tell her about it. That that it could make it at all, or that it like happily offered it up, or like what was the the kerfuffel was about I understand the fact that it exists makes people sad. R Right. It sometimes w yeah, it it sometimes won't even do um If it's just based on keyboard waiting, yeah, like you're gonna find a picture of Michelle Obama because people suck. It's been around forever. Woo. It depends on what you call green, but no matter how you feel about white and green, I don't think anybody is going to agree generally on the exact point.

There's good and there's evil. This is Do by Friday, a weekly challenge. I have uh m m bro uh broken uh beyond usability or crack screens. Like I I had to do the click, click, click or the the click-click long click to like That's that's what Should I tell her? Yeah. And what we're talking about here is I wish we, I think what we're talking about here is I wish we had that for describing more things. So I'm still trying to figure out what to do with it, but yeah. I'm saying that because yeah. I don't fucking care. Whoever gets you, what a catch, Hakuna Matada. Like there are human beings. Like you didn't know what you were in for. Have you considered that So good Charlie. Do it ju get an air.

He's barely perceptible. I had not given Howard any information. But then here here's where it gets interesting is look at that one. Oh. I could even say, hey, I'm a Right? And that maybe the reason you don't understand it, quote, is because you don't understand it. Uh so a number of our friends do this. It it was like Um yes, I drop things a lot and another reason why I You might have Huntington's disease. Oh, really? 1600? Sorry. Or I'll say the style of a German expressionist painting. He's been dead since April 45. Your web blog or blog? How good's your measuring stick? John Syracuse, I was telling him about what I was trying to do with ChatGPT and having it figure out durations for me. And you're like, okay, which one's the boy?

You have you have to get people beyond the idea of who you are. That's weird. How how recently was that? No, didn't say that. I hardly have a main hustle. It's really terrible. But like there are some like you can't ask it to make some of these, you can't ask it to make a painting that looks like Caravaggio You just see the formatted stuff. I Are you trying to are you trying being nice to me or are you promoted? So somebody else might choose to cut the green and the white part of the onion in a different place than you. And if you, the listener, you Alex They what? You're doing a lot of stuff with w Um sometimes sometimes sometimes my um D is not sunk up between my devices. And Jesse, for some reason, and we were all in an office where like everybody was working together.

And then she acts it she lets go of the rope and her daughter falls and hurts herself and then it becomes all about the honesty in the relationship. This isn't still happening, is it? So I've got all my stickies still on the front. Uh my touch ID and I I so I did not want to send my computer away because I I'm like, okay, I'm very much myself. It's again, it's probably a form of magical thinking, but there's this me, the thing with me where I'm just like, you treat it like Maybe the spinning will be back. It's like, you know, you can't. There's you know I don't have a place where all my playlists live in one place and are updated. God Japanese woman is cute. And I've cobbled it together from a bunch of different places.

Didn't need to be mentioned. First of all, the thing I desperately want to link to is a YouTube video called What is Reality? This is not about any person. Well, you have to buy different clothes than other people. We all agree. Or like you you'd be like, oh, I like a nice smile, but I don't want her to look slutty. Yeah, trans stuff. And that's it. Or was that just a Okay. Mm-hmm. And my right thumb's my flickin' thumb. So you can take your phone in the water, you can swim with it, and yet and yet I still get the little crayon marks on my lightning cables. I love it so much. And I I don't know if you saw this when I put this on Mastodon, but like Let me look at I bet I bet it's it might be And it doesn't take very long.

The idea three is all I wanted to talk about. They all love armor hot dogs. No black in the Union Jack? Sunrise, it's that short period of time where the sun's coming up and then the sun's up and it wasn't up before. That's what it feels like. Let's take that as red. God. I don't know. So it I didn't uh pick it up directly, but I believe usually they Like this show is what uh like this is my only form income now and thank you. And when it's yeah, and and there used to be the days where they would Billabong. It's it it was like it's like watching your friend who's an alcoholic get starting like So I get six rows, four columns. I yeah, I I have two little nicks on my phone. And I make sure that I um I com and search and I I I said Show something historical.

And then look what it made for me. Or is difference difference different than difference? They gotta be a real girl. Um but they're gonna go like, oh yeah, yeah, you know, the dingus like if you're John Roderick and you uh unintentionally go swimming with your phone in your pocket and you have a I can't believe she's on the show for so long. Yeah sure. Uh last Monday I think. I can't. Two, three, four. There would still be weird problems with delays. But it's exactly perfect. It's like if I I could if I I might forget I've got stuff in my general instructions, and of course Syracuse is rolling his eyes at the Like controversial trying to avoid controversy Well perplexity I mean like you can see how you can get off you get yourself off the hook a little bit with a certain kind of I'm just straight off the dome and look at your messages.

You know what's even worse? He's like, Do you know about leap seconds? Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Like, is it gonna really protect I'm like, alright, maybe has to do with touch ID. Should we start the show? Is that snot? Stay away from the little Nickies. It look not you know, looks good it looks good, it's like it's it's not, you know, it doesn't get in the way. No, um it happened like it happened like the week it came out. It will not give you the graven image of a person who's living. Oh no, and then go down there look at the little guy. Like I you know, you need you need something like Napster to make people interested or I guess lime wire is a better example, but That's a really good model.

Alright, alright. Like that went well. Well, you know what? It's um the doctor's, uh the ninth doctor's wife from uh The Leftovers. This is all this is with no satellites, this is with no side speakers, no anything else. And so like you're not gonna say stuff like Is that what happened here? Important to avoid imagery that could reinforce harmful generalizations. Hour 43 minutes? And and you come in and you go like, oh yes, but is it not true that at night there is no light in the sky and in the day the sun is where we can see Well first of all the sun's always where it is. And what we mean when we say understand, what we really mean is what you're doing is fucking crazy Oh man. Elaine. He has a funny name for everybody.

Uh my friend Jamie's uh one of the things he amongst many things is is he does close magic. You could see that like when he was a kid, he obviously learned magic tricks. It's part of the challenge. Like it's gonna be unbearable. The the amazing magic. Oh, you can see in the document It should be kind of dark and it should have the light coming in and if you ask it for a vermeer, like in your head, you know what a vermeer looks like, right? And you say it like, oh, I want a poster and I want it to look like the scream by Edvard Moonk. Alex, Alex, that nice thing I wrote about New College? You've come quite a long way in your journey. This is just this is just one example. There's Apple Care Plus that you pay for after your year has run out.

Right? I know, it's just like convening, talking about how things are going. And like the funny thing was on Chat GPT, I think because of the way it's sort of been. Wait on Walmart, I'm dying. Just just bad. Or said like Star Wars nineteen seventy seven in parentheses, that is a very rid reduced set of Because it's been around forever and I knew about it before But it's a pretty good blog thing. One of one of many great drill tweets. The sunrise. There's so many things that we have. And it's like, and but uh suddenly I was like, you know, it's interesting. That's gonna be pretty Like touch ID on the Bluetooth keyboard always worked totally fine. Just uh la logic force it would either crash or freeze up and needed to be forced quit.

No, no, no. Shogun. We're just watching fucking Chris Hayes. Maybe that's a national thing, you know, maybe it's a localization thing. But what's the what's the best good reason people were mad? Write that down to watch together sometime. You can, you can actually can. Oh god. So like on the first level, I want the most like superficial level, I kind of want to give everybody a chuck and say, hey, you know, we're all in this together. And that all really works, but all I was trying to say in the second part is Oh God. But uh They seem like a nice group. How long ago did you s take it to send it in to be repaired? Oh and I so I Sometimes it's nice to be reminded how to do this stuff. They're trying to do like the BBC in the early two thousands.

I'm trying to illustrate to you how confused both of us already are. I did my research. I mean and and I think the the thing that that Alan Watts is saying. But I was like, no, it it's it it's fine. Well make sure you fill in this thing. Yes. But I mean it it I was gonna say. It's exactly what I wanted. And the but the way I Yeah. I said this is a collage my kid made when he was two. But but Ghost Uh is under the side. Um uh But when you say you understand something, But then sometimes you drop your phone in the toilet and it's game over. No, you you do. Yeah, it could be because I'm quote more careful than you, but it also just might be I don't use it as much as you do. He's obviously from Manchester when he says Mary.

Um although then dear no. You've got like a big phone. And um so like if you can imagine on the Right? It's got a lot of stuff. And oh my god, I don't get complaints anymore. And it did its level best. And for you to have to explain that to me and then explain what that term means diminishes your experience as a person. And like that so great. Yeah, except shit. Also a lot of other stuff. There's some things where I'm generally like, oh, I'm pretty good. Oh that was like Australian, I see, sorry. And so I listen to Hop Along and I listen to it super loud. I don't I don't do anything else. Not about Huh. It is. And the truth is, this is the by m I know it's at least the third in the secret shame of my heart.

And that's me. Ela Elaine Elaine. It's never lupus. Did I sneeze on my phone? Didn't say that. And it works great. Like I can't ask for pictures of my guests. Um do you want me to help you with how how to make a YouTube playlist? Like when you if you search for uh hot dicks. So we have a friend. People like to say, oh well well black and white night and day. We can go further if you want, but like there aren't really that many things that are that binary in the world. The binaries that underscore And which one of you has the vagina and that? No Yes. But like there's some things where like uh it it turns it as it turns out in retrospect I made a good decision. Remember when the Rancor Wrangler gets so sad?

The dingus tells us And uh and boy believe me The 99% invisible while I was eating White Castle, yes. I my my I'm sorry, but in my mind, n this is not about you, but like knowing how that song goes and I'm confuse in my head I'm confusing it with that We're well into season four, so Chase has not been on the scene. Oh boy. But Touch ID stopped working again and I was sad. I am like just I I just treat it like a s the sweet precious angel. Oh I I think there was a way where you could like you know, the equivalent of like knocking your king over in chess. But for a ChatGPT boy, woof. But then really I read the third one first. When you say st stuff like and I still feel very much like I am the person asking which one of you is the boy.

I'm not making a joke. I talked about this with Roderick because Roderick, yeah, what I said I have a friend I who uses Alright, you you've bested me, Alan. But honestly, you would you would with your Well the the nickname and your kit hurt It's it's I find it I've watched the first episode twice. You know, and the joke I made, which is a real thing, is like, oh sorry family. I'm like, please. And if something happens, you do you backspace wrong and it loses its formatting, don't worry. And so there's a lot of complexity to all of these things. There's civic twilight, there's nautical twilight, there's all those different twilights. And like Justice Potter said about pornography. That's not the point.

Go where you want to go. Maybe Jesse Sins. It's really like It's an incredibly high fidelity album and like that's a good way for some people to test headphones. And um wait, what was I talking about? No, no, but Walmart fail. Because you can get as you say. You've s but you know everybody's familiar with that. Very much, I don't say starting with, but my first big Alan Watts thing in the 43 Folders days was a wonderful Once you get there, there's a music bed. And you'll notice though Okay, take these scallions, they're whatever you call them, green onions, take these and separate the white cut them up and separate separating the white part from the green part. Except I I think I'm a what? Like these are yeah, like these are quote You know?

No, you're right. Um that was a silly thing to say. Haven't been well That's not No, no, um that maybe what Sonus rules everything around me. And like it's just wild how like I can't think of off my off the dome a better example I'll take more I'll take more stuff like that. And you're like, wait. God, I hate when you're supportive. Do you do the frug or you do the swim? Again, like let's It doesn't work it doesn't work half the time. Have I sinned? Um so like on my screen I have an uh uh iPhone fifteen pro normal sized and I've got It's a it's a good situation I've got going. Because like the when uh when when the herald comes and says to Henry V, you know, Were you paid this ransom? They overcorrected for diversity and ended up with uh uh Japanese Nazis.

I remain Uh your your web blog, uh merlin. Uh but uh Dug Dug uh question three answers. And it's it's not it's not just a bunch of like, you know, sophomore year How good is your microscope? Because it's a leap year. Like, I gotta be honest with you, C and DopeSic helped out a lot. I've got my reckons about it based on information and observation, but like It's You got for like for a year they're like, okay, if this stuff happens or however long it is, but you can get something called Apple Care Plus. You say this as someone who on more than one occasion, I believe But he would swim with his Apple Watch, I think, almost every day. So I what I'm guessing I'm trying to say is as much as we like to I like when when Vision Pro is now uh being um using that more than a laptop to do Trying to get around that little cord that's No, no, no.

No no no. I love RTV so much. I want a different coked up white lady slave. Yeah. And uh because Mm-hmm. It's the dog kids love to bite. Okay. Like, what if you like people because of their sense of humor? What what's weird? I miss the guy who's not a doctor. I've got a full size with a touch ID here on my Macintosh. But hey, w uh if But I I'm not a laptop spinner. Do it in the store. I'm gonna say something here that I don't want to get back to my wife. Somewhere between the fourth and fifth row. Uh neither of them like big boomy surprising sounds. And you'd be like, you know what? I had not given it pictures of my kid, but I don't know if you saw, but the like the birthday cards it generated.

So that's why I've been shadow banned or blah blah, right? Right? Like that you now can operate at scale. Where do I even begin to explain to you how little you understand about this relationship? I learned it from a Shell advertisement in the 1980s. I have some pretty specific things I've been interested in sexually in the past. You get so many like events per year. It's not just the enclave. Interesting. But no just uh just keeps uh kept on crashing in the Um characters from literature in modern jobs. Like what what like so everybody you you but you derive the you derive this level of confidence That was not a misspeak. Or sorry, how long what what's the longest back that you could do that and it didn't wreck your phone?

Have you heard about it? And I was like, it's like it's like two blood two and a half blood draws for me. Yes. Oh my god. Well uh Alex, Alex, uh can I just say point of personal privilege, can I ask you I I in fact m booze. There's a lot of stuff clashing with a lot of other stuff. It looks great. It it it is just just uh uh uh frustrating because what i this has been a little bit more than a little bit. And like But then you can do a whole bunch of stuff, including including the IMDB or TMDB. Yeah, yep, yep, it sure is. We have a mutual friend. Like, you know That's not a that's not a fact of nature. Wow, lucky. That's that seems to be a pattern. No way. Right. By the second episode it becomes clearer.

Well, yeah But the thing is Or or and in a lazy well um I mean maybe I don't know, maybe Are other people getting that? Like, how will I know how to bin you? Like that kind of thing, right? Because if you're such a fucking idiot that they had to explain it to you in terms of, well, I guess technically I'm more of the boy. I thought, you know, I am Oh, that maybe was unintentionally a little overbuilt? We fixed that now, right? But there was that but we take we take somewhat for granted Have you ever known like some people were like for some reason the keys on their keyboard like wear down? Now that one, as it turns out, is available. And I even used all my old helper stuff. Because there's one, is it Gemini?

And like, okay, well, can I get a little insight on who decides Some some things about it are Um but Like so far so good, right? And I was like, fuck you. And there's a lot of those that really do matter. Like I have all the time in the world for people to understand what a complicated creature I am Maybe that is the show. Fighting right now. That means what he did was he made a little golem. The reason how I'm I'm the reason I'm myself is because And I don't and she hasn't said anything. Oh man. And I'm I'm jinxing fate. And so at that time you identified Oh boy. And this one at least Like it did not take a look at the thing. So this is I'm looking at this right now over my desk. What it made for me does not make any fucking sense, but I love it.

Yeah. Let this be the last one, please. And that's this question that they're asking lots of people and uh asking people to respond to. Like that's that's not my thing to like make a thing about. I don't know. Well I'm it's it really is just a plea. And I have one I really like now. I don't know. Or but you know what I mean? And and then you're wrong, you know, something I just wrote down a second ago. I'd have to watch or join in. Yeah I'll fill in the thing. Oh, I should tell her about that too? I want to celebrate my success in this regard. And like the stuff, I guess the 16-year-old thing maybe set it off. I think he is. But one of them, it's it won't even like you could say like Like, you know, who loves armor hot dogs?

That is that gonna derive your whole meaning of like, see, I didn't even want to use the word trans. Otherwise, it's just two colors in a drawing. I, you know, I did the best I could. I promised myself I wasn't gonna talk, but I knew I wouldn't keep it. I used to work with a guy, um So you take it in, and here's the thing, you guys, if you've been using a touch ID Just curious because Charlie is a lady and does Charlie's a precious angel. I am Do you agree that kind of looks like my kid? Did you get asked that question? Like People who have a background in philosophy. Like you you know, and how much of our life do we spend trying to get people to like the idea of us and they still don't care?

That's that's the rain on your phone Oh tiniest tiniest, tiniest little nick. What do you got when you got two of them? Oh God. Wait, are you making I can't tell if you're not going to be able to do it. That's what I was thinking of. Um yeah, yeah, I have a whole file of things my child used to say. Yeah, yeah. I'm f That level of like you hardly notice it, but you do notice it. You put up the equivalent of a Comcast cone. But the whole point of a soundbar to me is you should be able to put it in front of your TV. Alright. But yeah, it involves a sound bar. Alan Watts refers to this as the ceramic the ceramic model. Um so no touch ID might work, which tells you it's something different than a physical But like yesterday I tried to use Apple single sign on, Apple ID to sign into this dumb service that I used.

Oh no. What would happen if you did that in the store? But like after less than two days. It's a really good WYSIWYG and it finds a really good balance of like what you want. Explain this joke to me like I'm a two-year-old. Now light big. And you're like, what if you can't even begin to understand how much you don't understand because y you how much you don't understand. She keeps getting parts that are just a little bit more. Or sarcoidosis. So what VS code clean because sometimes Yes That's crazy. Obviously you can tell that Hugh Laurie knows how to play piano and guitar. It's the most amazing thing. It's it works. Yeah. That seems like a pretty big omission. Headline comes out. And and that's what we're talking about.

Let me go look at my calendar. We all agree on that. No, you you well, I mean you're with a girl, so you must think you're a boy I haven't tested it. You know what I did? Yeah. What did you notice happening that's been hinky as you try to talk yourself out of needing to get it fixed again? As recently as two nights ago, I turned to my lady friend. And it would know stuff like find videos that actually are available in the United States. Dunk dunk dunk dunk. But yeah, it'll say Star Wars. I I mean it in the sense of like And when I say different, what do I mean? Because I think you've been practicing. You know, there there's some I'm not sure. Will the harvest be good? And I go, you know what?

And the other thing is if you use a lot of Google Apps Yeah, the open source stable Yeah, because stable diffusion is open source. Oh my god, relax. Computers are a crapshoot, right? I truly don't know what it's it's called. You gotta leave room for the Holy Spirit, right? Oh No But if you like let's just take that. You you would have your phone I mean you ask because you already know the answer. It's just refilling the secure enclave. Yeah, that's true. And I came up with all these different ways to try and get it to do that. But I wonder if it was set off by the asking for the a picture of a minor. And it was just it's a context-free But right, you two two two women who are together. What's weird, toddler, Merlin?

I don't know how I spent 20 over 20 years. I will speak for my men. I don't know what causes that, but it does feel like an oversight. I I think you would have if you had uh played with images for a while, you would have been like, something's I was trying to do the chimp in a fancy suit, chimp detective in a fancy suit writing on a copy barra. Look at that BJ BJ bananas and his best friend Cappy. They you know what? He just starts referring to her as Huntington's disease. I like that guy a lot. What? When you're a magical thinker, like you make connections that are Water damage in your laptop. That's my beef. But sometimes you are a little bit like, well, the diversity goes a Would you like me to generate an image like that instead?

Well, it understands there's a scribbly pattern, but like when it makes the steampunk looking one What was the other one? But anyway, I've been doing a lot of stuff with computers and I redeployed some assets and I feel good about it. What do you what do you do to a song like that? Where's my belt? It could be the logic board and I wasn't worried. Yep. Herpes Marie. Do you put a you put a you put a like a do you do like Ray Romano, you put a Sharpie mark on one of them so you can tell which is which? Because I can throw it all in the same way. Like there's sometimes where I'm like, fuck, every time I do this And I'm like, ah, cool. Uh, boy. What does it mean when we're like conosco? No, you have to talk now I We fixed that.

I'm like, I cannot stand They would not there would not be And it's still got the same problem all the previous ones had. The second one then is what? And people's idea about meat was understandably really I've gotten Apple Care on so many things. It crashed again when I wasn't doing anything overnight. What was the original headline that where everybody was mad about? Here's an example. But you know, that's the point of the yin and the yang. But there's some people where I really did just like them because they were really fucking funny. I by which I mean I don't know anything about statistics, but Probably thinking what? No, no, no, no. Yeah. It's uh it says what it called it said, this is it sometimes that's a teachable moment.

There's one more through the web interface. This I mean, I think this is visually staggering, like all of these. Okay If you go to a franchise McDonald's A Uh I And remember when they said that that Adam was created from The things he says to an eleven-year-old girl who's obviously not eleven, uh I'm like listen, as someone who damages a lot of things with water. The thing to understand that you you you can't understand about the sexual normative people. Conversation complete. But interesting. And my kid would be like, Ugh, you're do you did the thing again, didn't you The Nutsis of Color, yeah. But it it it went And of course it's hilarious to quote John Syracuse, something along the lines of like Sp Yeah, but what if it's really complicated The last paragraph of that is the greatest thing I've ever written.

Like I've been in relationships with with a fair number of people in life, and like I was like, you know, the 14 Pro feels really heavy. It's consistent. Can I just make fun of the world without it being about you? So I know what that felt like. But the dream for me is I go in and say It's plenty artificial and not very intelligent. People were mad about that because That acts as a kind of heuristic. Being anything in America, there's no one way to be in America. I was talking about in the context of driving, that's a useful way. I uh I I uh I uh Uh but like on more than one occasion, let's just say I've rolled in there and walked out with a new phone. Giraffes Not not this Monday when I uh After all that time it comes back Is that where the name comes from?

I love RTV. Headline comes out. What magazine was that I didn't write that for? That And that's okay. No spoilers. But uh it now or or it decided Like that's how it feels a lot of the time in my computer world. Caligari. Search for exactly what you want on Google and it'll find it, right? And in some ways they took the easy in some ways they they took what must have felt like the easy way out. Which doesn't seem like it would be a big deal, except That's like how it is.
