WordPress, like pretty much everyone, is gulping up the ai hype and introducing and showing off a bunch of ai capabilities around a wordpress website (as seen in State of the Word 2025)
My question for anyone out there is, is this even wanted by anyone?
Having a third party ai take action on a website is not exciting to me. It’s just another step in taking humans out of creative endeavours.
No. I’m not gonna rebuild my website core. But i think I’m gonna try to build my own classic theme, based loosely on an old version of my site.
Could be fun?
The urge to completely redesign and rebuild my website again has once again entered my mind.
Send help.
Also: should I?
I’m considering doing a regular post on a Friday called something like the “Friday Five”.
Where I will endeavour to have listened to five new albums that week and write up my thoughts on them.
Inspired by The Sunday Six by Christian’s Music Musings.
Alien Romulus was actually pretty good.
The little winks to previous films and the usage of some classic lines were to its slight detriment, I thought.
But all in all a good one.
Decided to go back to WordPress from ClassicPress.
Let’s see how this goes.
I am so fucking bored of hearing about, and seeing the “fruits” of, AI.
Trying to listen to Supertramp albums on YouTube Music — some of my favourite ever albums — and half the songs are unavailable.
Most likely this is down to some stupid fucking copyright issue that only occurs to certain songs or somet.
You can see from the screenshots below that half the songs — arguably the best ones — are greyed out unavailable.
This is why music streaming — aka renting — cannot be relied upon.
Buy your favourite albums and keep the physical copies for yourself.
The ActivityPub plugin for WordPress is incredible.
Holy hell. The new Cradle of Filth album is out tomorrow.
“The Screaming of the Valkyries”
🤘🤘🤘
Been really digging this album today.
Murder Ballads by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds.
Never really heard their / his stuff other than the title song from Peaky Blinders.
This album is incredible and dark. Going to be investigating more of his stuff.
My single criticism of The I.T. crowd is this:
“Track 4 Coffin Fodder”
Coffin Fodder is the 9th song on the Nymphetamine album.
That is all. 🙂
