We have reached that magical time of year when T.K.MAXX gets their first shipment of unwanted elderly adult Halloween shit. Scent candles, towels, doormats, and GONKS. All ready for geriatric thrills. #halloween #merch #UtterRubbish

Fuck yeah you know you want this. #UtterRubbish #cats #TEMU

Maybe I am going to hell but these images of Adolf Eating A Carrot are a damn fine/stupid video in the making... #AI #UtterRubbish #Hitler

Ad Break: THE SAW OF TODAY
#UtterRubbish

News just to hand Dilbert Guy gets cancelled because he took the bait in an obviously trolling survey where it wasn’t ok to be white and Jordan Peterson went blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah and looked at a camera like this and meanwhile life drags along endlessly. #UtterRubbish

I remember the hype about "expert systems", but all they seemed to me was a bunch of glorified if/then/else conditions. I couldn't see the "intelligence" in those.

So Artificial Imitation now is a pretty apt description IMO.

@lardmotel I'm with you in continuing to be reluctant to call any of this "intelligent".

Yeah, sure, I'm willing to concede that neural network-based recognition models and even generation models have come a long long way further than I ever expected early in my tech career. But have a read around all the holes these have: training data biases, non-explainability, and a whole raft of attacks on these models that can add undetectable biases.

Actually after a whole lot of listening… AI is just Artificial Imitation. There’s no intelligence. It’s a pastiche, a gravy of ground up fragments scribbled by a child. It reminds us of the sources and that is all it has to offer - a reference. If your music is under threat from this your music is genre-riddled shit. Listen to this for clues as to redundant audio landfill. #music #ai #UtterRubbish #bollocks

@lardmotel Ellard, now look at what you (inadvertently) made me watch:

Jimmy crack corn. I really don’t give a flying monkeys. Who the hell is Jimmy anyway? Let him have his crack or whatever. #corn #jimmy #UtterRubbish

Headline in Sydney newspaper is that a musician thinks the government should do something. Why the flying fuck is this news? Do we get an expert analysis? No. But hey his band sounds like it’s vaguely political (it’s not - it’s just old guy emo). #UtterRubbish #NewsFail #Journalism #MusiciansAreNotExperts

A beautiful bit of comedy politics this week. The Premier of NSW admits wearing a nazi uniform to a party when he was 20. This admission comes to preempt a photo drop by the gambling lobby that want to frighten him off reform. Then of course we hear of other fools that wore Hitler to a party. Including poor idiot Prince Harry who (of course) claimed that the royal family was at fault for letting him do it. #Harry #Hitler #Gambling #Politics #Australia #UtterRubbish

@octopede @dj2mn put it on TikTok as well just in the hope that someday somebody will put it under a dog twerking. That would be total win. Total. #UtterRubbish #twerkdog #music

Here in one current museum brochure everything I fucking hated about the 90's. Branded UNPOPULAR but all popular bands on major labels. Fake type / xerox in an era of DTP. No local names. All O/S bands only coming here for holidays. Cock rock with electronic music rebranded as 'electronica' and 'remixed rock'. I survived the that era working on album covers for SONY called 'Indie' this and 'Alternative' that. So glad when Glitch came around in the 2000's and held a bonfire. #music #utterrubbish

Found today in a box of old toys. Probably 40 years old. It still beeps. #DontMakeThemLikeThatAnymore #Toy #Music #UtterRubbish

Hi! It's Jesus here. Have you tried those new weird Cheeseburger flavoured Twisties yet? The taste is the pickle on a cheap burger you drunkenly bought at 2AM at George St. Maccas with a slight whiff of Unleaded fumes and an accident in the Men's. Not bad!

Anyway I'll see you later, when you are asleep. Just checking. #UtterRubbish

This picture hadn't made it here yet. So here it is. #music #UtterRubbish
