    Ubu Roy

    I was in high school when my sweetheart, Rachel, discovered Alfred Jarry’s Ubu Roy [King Ubu] and started reading big chunks of it out loud to me, as we walked to and from school.

    Stable Audio

    Right now, the popularity/interest in stable audio is so high that you basically can’t get to it unless you’re a journalist who has a public relations person making calls for you.

    IANAL, But

    I’ve been following the tribulations (and am looking forward to the trials) of Donald Trump. It’s fascinating, to me, the level of stupidity and bad lawyering that the republican fascist party has managed to scrape together.

    Simply Delightful

    I’m listening to the audiobook version of Ian Toll’s Pacific Crucible, which is about the naval war in the Pacific, WW2. [wc]

    On the Affirmative Defense

    Obviously I’m not a lawyer. I’m just a guy who reads a lot of stuff. So, I’d like to clarify a few small points as I understand them.

    More AI Remixing

    [Content warning: pixels representing paint representing breasts]

    My favorite thing about AI art is that the results are throw-aways. You are not asking a real artist to pour weeks of work and years of skill into something that is, basically, a joke.

    Another AI Prediction Coming True
