Keep up the resitance:
https://www.theguardian.com/technology/commentisfree/2026/may/14/elon-musk-sam-altman-ai-feud' #Sora’s demise ultimately stemmed from several intersecting considerations shaped by grassroots action: flatlining usage, rocky public perception, tightening financials, and heavy constraints on computational resources.
Here’s the thing about empires. They don’t just seek to devour everything – they depend on it for their survival. In other words, the very thing that appears to give them paramount strength is their greatest vulnerability. '

Just an ordinary workday: colleagues are slopping out machine-generated bullshit to please other machines, the sellers are babbling away human-generated bullshit to get idiots buying the machine-generated bullshit.
I stare at my machine in a mindless state – barely more conscious than a robot vacuum cleaner – distantly wondering, when was the exact moment when my working life turned into this.
Situation normal.

Whoa. I’m a big #Pentangle fan too but I can’t but bow before this avowal of love and indeed, awakening:
' These songs, stories and customs seemed to emanate from a very different kind of #Britain to the one invoked by anthems such as Rule, Britannia! or by the union jack. They had little to do with monarchy, military or empire; instead they conjured a vision of Britain that was enchanted, subversive and strange: a Britain I felt I could belong to. '

Kicked off the #citybike season today.
It was a half-accident: missed a bus, cursed that I’d be late from the meeting, then saw the line of yellow Föli bikes across the street.
And huzzah! Made it to the meet sort-of-in-time after all!

Started walking to work in the mornings. Tho they extended the #citybike season til Christmas, I'm not sure I want to bike on those icier & icier streets anymore.
Besides, walking ~2 km through #Turku is _nice_. Through the Sports Park, over the Aura River, up the Puolala Hill... what a cute little town this is!
(Yes, I'm actively ignoring the construction site of the new concert hall en route, and the Theatre bridge repair… but there's still plenty of pretty things to admire.)

John Cage – the #Italian #quiz show winner!
' In the 1950s, the American #avantgarde composer #JohnCage turned a thoroughly wholesome hobby into an unexpected source of cash. The hobby was #mushrooms (non-psychedelic varieties). '
(…)
' Cage appeared in five episodes in 1959, where he was quizzed on – of course – his beloved mushrooms. At the end, the composer walked away with 5m lire, equivalent to about £70,000 today. He used his winnings to buy a Steinway piano. '

Incredible story, told in a charmingly laconic way. The plot twists hardly need boosting…
' The #ANC had been trying to figure out how to target Koeberg [nuclear power plant] for years. '
(...)
' The value of an operative who could re-enter the plant, with a face that looked like it belonged there, was greater than any unit cutting through a fence from outside. Why send a unit when you already had a ghost? '

We’re planning a trip to #Narva, #Estonia for the Easter wknd. Originally just bc why the hell not, but now it turned out that there's a kickass Estonian #prog band on a gig at the time:
https://www.bandsintown.com/e/1037696595-pohja-konn-at-narva-kultuurimaja-rugodiv
Põhja Kõnn plays excellent old skool prog shit! Been listening to their 2016 album for two days now. Check it here:

_Now_ I'm even _psyched_ about the upcoming trip!

Whoa. I’m a big #Pentangle fan too but I can’t but bow before this avowal of love and indeed, awakening:

Tuli vahingossa harrastettua oikeaa kulttuuria Narvassa.
https://toivioretki.fi/vahinkokultturellina-narvassa/ -
Rullailen #Viro'n karttaa sinne tänne yrittäen löytää lähimestaa, jonne ei olisi luvattu kaatosadetta koko päiväksi. Ärsyittävästi Ilmatieteen laitos ja Foreca on erimielisiä vähän joka paikasta – paitsi #Narva'sta, jossa sataa kummankin mielestä.
Mut jos meniskin vähän kauemmas... #Tartto’ssa ei satais (paitsi ehkä pari tippaa, sanoo Foreca). Viinaralli #Valga’an? (Öh, bussilla? Äh. Enkä mä mikään viinaralli-ihminen ede ole.)
Toisaalta mitä väliä sillä on, sataako, jos maleksii kahvilassa?
-
Opin juuri, että kaikki #Viro’n kaupunkien joukkoliikennemaksukortit ovat ristiin käytettävissä. Eli mun #Tallinna’n #ühiskaart toimii täällä #Sillamäe’ssäkin? Niin ainakin olin tuolta lukevinani:
https://ivytk.ee/bussiga-soitmine-ida-virumaal/Mut jos ei, niin bussista semmoisen saa tälle alueelle ostettua. Mikäli ymmärsin oikein.
Mitä mittä, meitsi täräyttää #NarvaJõesuu’hun viikonlopux sit! Tosta menee talon edestä bussilinja 33 sinne.
(Jos bussittelu jostain syystä epäonnistuu, taksireissu on alle 15 euroa.)

Pyhiinvaellus elokuvamuseoon
En tullut Łódźiin varsinaisesti turisteeraamaan, vaan edistämään jumissa ollutta kirjoitusprojektia, joten nähtävyyskertymä on ollut varsin vaatimaton tällä reissulla. Yksi ”ei saa missata”-kohde kuitenkin listaämpärini pohjalla on kolistellut.
