I need to step away from my PC – for a moment – because, although I have so much to write, the statements made in this video touch me too deeply and are too closely aligned to my own views and too close to the fundamental reasons underlying my own depression and disillusionment and burn-out.

Watch it.

Seriously. Watch it. If you are well briefed on the A.I. bubble and A.I. Hell, just skip to:

~ 34 minutes to miss the demonstration of the tedious issue.[^1]
~ 38 minutes to reach the philosophical statements
~ 39 minutes to hear about deception – the universal "tell" of A.I. scammers
~ 41 minutes if you're prepared for tears: to lament what we've lost, what we so nearly had, what humanity is losing, what is being stolen from artists ¬

(I need some space.)

[^1]: I assure you this video is not about content farms, SEO or the death of search but one might be mistaken for thinking that, in the first half. Don't. It is worth your patience.

If you wanted the specification why not search for ".glb format specification"? I did that on Google and the specification was the first hit.

I find it interesting as an experiment to measure how polluted the information environment is with machine-generated shit, not as an exercise in how to navigate around it.

It's only "polluted" if you're looking for something specific and you refuse to ask for something specific.

If you go into a restaurant and ask them for "a drink" without specifying what drink you want, don't complain about the quality of the coffee when they bring you a coke.

Just dropping by here to remind you to treat others on this instance in good faith, even when you disagree.
