Just some dumb thoughts in my brain. I'm enjoying all of the social and political commentary that David Cage has brought to us with this game.

It's definitely not perfect and there are some problems with this story/future he's envisioned, but I am loving how it provokes so much discussion.

It's a separate question as to whether we SHOULD design androids to appear human like. I understand the whole uncanny valley comes into play.

But if we've gone all in on having them appear life-like, then there should be more diversity of body shape, gender, representation. Not just this idealized thing model that we see so often in these futures.

There's a whole host of issues at play here, so I'm just spitballing, feel free to join in and share your ideas/thoughts.

NL made a comment that was basically, “I'd buy a chubby android servant/assistant.”

He said this with a bit of tongue in cheek humor but it's interesting to consider.

Why not design our AI servants/assistants/workers with more diversity?

Was watching the Northernlion Detroit: Become Human stream/play-through. And he remarked on something that people often avoid confronting.

This future world where androids exist, all the androids have one very specific body type. Everyone is thin in a very specific way.

Assuming we continue to push towards this future, if we're wanting true simulation. Why wouldn't we design/build androids to appear like humans actually appear?

I was 4 seconds away from jumping into the golden chest and winning with Lazarus and fucking Binding of Isaac crashed on my Switch. God damnit?!?!

I hate that my brain is petty and shitty this way. But it's a feeling I can't stop because I care for her and I'm annoyed that I can't just snap my fingers and be there to help her deal with her shit.

I'm angry at my friend for being distant but I know she's going through some really tough shit and I'm being a good person and giving her space and letting her know that I'm there should she want to reach out.

But I hate that I'm still annoyed and kind of angry because the selfish part of me is taking it personally, even though I know it's not in my control and not about me.

Ugh.

When a robot gets hit by a self-driving car, is that considered manslaughter? Or vehicular boticide?

It's still a young project but you can check out my tumblr art project: http://www.jazzhands.xyz

The theme and what I'm doing is pretty straight forward. So enjoy.

So I finally figured out my online art project (something I've been wanting to do all year) but I was not happy with the custom domain name, so I paid for another. Because I'm that kind of crazy and as I'm wanting to really commit to this project, I need the theme of my project to reflect the domain name and vice versa.

My work is very much impacted by GDPR and I'd say that about 70% of our back end systems are broken because the developers did some stupid coding shit they needed to do to accommodate the GDPR implementation and it's completely fucked my ability to help customers.

Ugh.

I log into Twitter about once a week now. And I find myself even dreading that.

There's just too much sadness, anxiety, and bad news on that site. I know it's driven by the accounts I follow.

All the more reason why I avoid NEWS/MEDIA on Masto. I'm here for you people. You tooters. That human connection. You make this place a good place.

Feeling very lonely and wistful tonight.

Bill Callahan is soothing my soul. It still feels worn but he makes it ok.

Cheating on playing Binding of Isaac with CaveStory+, such brilliant platforming. So well designed and fun.
