writing up the 2024 mixtape web page. i have my own fiddly rules about band names.

all upper/lower case? nope sorry.

punctuation? especially nope, really hate that. doubly so for exclamation points.

i respect diacriticals.

haven't run into symbols yet. i will create new policy right there on the spot.

occasionally i start re-thinking about this petticoat junction episode

http://cardhouse.com/2024/2024.htm#20241018

and more specifically, when was the first time in recorded history that actors employed a stilted way of speaking to convey poor acting?

silent era doesn't count because no speaking. just wondering about that half-robot half-amateur way of talking.

was it in the guise of an advertisement, or to convey someone who shouldn't be acting as a plot point?

What's "great" about AI is you can generate total bullshit thumbnails for your horseshit Youtube video and get millions of views. Here's a thumbnail from MAX TV, which sort of looks like Devil's Tower. Turns out it's some sort of AI beefed-up "Make Devil's Tower look like a giant-ass tree" jagoff instruction. Here's the generic voiceover, during which they show the actual Devil's Tower but the top cut off, so it sort of looks like the base of a tree with tiny people circled at the bottom of the image -- just like the thumbnail. [addendum: this is at the end of the video, which has a selection of large/odd/unique trees. could have just made a thumbnail of one of those, say. an actual real tree from real reality.]

"In the depths of the Ancient Forest where each tree holds thousands of stories there is a giant that makes you stop and freeze in admiration people like little ants go to this incredible giant whose height Rivals the mountains its Mighty Roots buried in the ground like arteries nourish the earth and its branches pointing to the sky seem to be trying to reach the very Stars it seems that this tree saw the beginning of time and silently watch the passage of centuries its trunk full of deep wrinkles reminds of the power in wisdom of nature before which humanity is only a small episode."

That there garbage requires a very strong shovel. Plenty more where that came from at MAX TV.
