Me: I am a pretty big Vintersorg fan, not sure how many fans there will be here tho British lady in front of me:

It's an example of the discourse here on Bluesky, and that's just taken verbatim from the Twitter discourse. Here's the boss of Hugging Face saying the same thing, and news media is reporting it as such: www.bbc.com/news/article... www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/7/... At best an ignorant response.

Xitter post from Clement Delangue, boss of Hugging Face: We suspected last week's cyberattack might have come from a frontier lab, given the sophistication of the agent. Turns out it did!

We've spent the past 24 hours working closely with the @OpenAI team (thanks!), and we strongly believe there was no malicious intent on their part. It's quite mind-blowing that all of this happened autonomously!

The investigation is ongoing, and we'll share more learnings from what might be the first incident of its kind!

Og alt er bedre enn ingenting. Jeg putta litt vann på kumlokket i nærheten for spurvene, og det tok ca 2 min før de var der:

welp

Temperature forecast for the next 11 days, almost all saying at least 30C, with highs as high as 33C. This is in Oslo, Norway

Yeah, this is very solid. I don't mind clean vocals but I am very picky with them. So have a listen to "Nothing Left to Deconstruct" by Loneshore if you long for some prog dead/doom. Since I'm a sucker for that this seems to be one of the better albums I've listened to so far this year.

I was promised rain and 20°C two hours ago, now I just get this bs

After sampling both bands for like 10 seconds I realised I needed to update that meme.

The bottom panel of "Holy shit! Two cakes!" edited to say "Holy shit! Four cakes!" (with two crossed over in red), and two additional cakes are on the table.

The top of my Ampwall library, now showing all albums from Wince and Frission and Negative Bliss with their album cover at the top.

Jean Niklas L'orange 🦆@hypirion· Jul 1

Me seeing both AIiT? and Eveale are gonna have new albums out in the future (also, I guess I need to look at the other new bands here given I really enjoy what I've heard by Steve et al so far)

Lower part of the "two cakes meme", where a stick figure is looking at two cakes with a fork and knife (... which is certainly a Choice to eat cake with) saying "Holy shit! Two cakes!"

No joke, you know a black metal album's gonna be good when the guest vocals are birds. Also, the song Carniflora is really good.

All songs written by North East Wizard Tyrant (instrumentals) and Monarch of the Hillside (lyrics and vocal arrangements, co-writing of instrumentals on “The Ritual”)

Eurasian Blackbird and Common Wood-Pigeon - guest vocals on “The Beckoning”

It feels like I have made an impossible problem for the LLMs. And it feels like the LLMs are gaslighting me into thinking I've specified the problem statement poorly. It is honestly exhausting to hear from reasoning models that basic logic statements are false. Also, what the fresh hell is this

I know @neastwizardtyrant.bsky.social is the number one fan, but me being #3? I’ve neglected my sacred duties and must recommit to the cause.

Alright, trying to resurrect this one. Today I'm listening to Acheron by Mechina. I really like this narrative concept album for some reason, though obviously you need to play it from start to end. It's sci-fi symphonic metal with a folk choir mixed in. Plus violins.

Cover album for "Acheron" by Mechina. An Earth-like planet in red hue is in the background, and some symbols are in the front. The symbols looks like portals that show a mountainous landscape with pine trees.

Running a 10k, but make it metal.

Me crossing the finish line, with both my arms raised with the horns. I am looking angry, straight into the camera, with my tongue out and down.

The others around me just try to cross the finish line without any attempt of shenanigans.

Sounds like these developers are living their best lives. www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

Text that says:

Staying small also meant eschewing the production practices commonplace at many game-development studios.

“What is Jira?” Gibson said when I asked if they used the task-management application.

“Is it a software?” Pellen said, adding that they’d briefly used Trello before their account was deactivated because they didn’t use it enough.

Another Vintersorg single released this Friday. I'll be shocked if Vattenkrafternas Spel don't end up being one of my fav releases of this year. #metalsky #avantgardemetal

Single cover for the single "Efter dis kommer dimma" by Vintersorg. A painted bleak/winter landscape with a river to the left, some river rocks in the centre/right with a forest in the background.

I remember looking back at my 2024 listen list and went like "dang, that's a lot of bands with worm in their names". (Wormhole and Graveworm came out too early with their 2023 releases)

Hunger - Worm Shepherd
Wormwitch - Wormwitch
Omegon - Wormed
The Star - Wormwood

Listen, when it's 33C in Oslo over multiple days and you don't have AC, you just gotta improvise. I knew those computer fans would come in handy one day.

My battle station. It has a big desk mat with a scary foresty vibe, and on top of it is a split keyboard (Halcyon Elora) with two wooden palm rests. There are also 7 fans on top of the desk mat, some 140mm, some 120mm, some black and some with the Noctua caramel/brown combination. At the right of the desk mat is a small black computer case, approximately 25 cm high and 17 cm wide. On top of the case sits an eight fan, which is 200mm and has the Noctua caramel/brown color as well. All the fans are on. The computer screen is put on top of a black monitor stand. The screen is off.

Forgot to mention it last Friday, but Impureza's new album Alcázares is so good if you like flamenco. (I like flamenco.) Nobody expects the Spanish Reconquista.

The album cover for Alcázares by Impureza: It depicts a courtyard in an Alcázar, with four stone statues looking towards a sepulchre. The statues look kinda vikingy, though they're probably aimed to depict "hooded" knights. They all hold swords with both their hands right in front of them, tip pointing down.

The lid of the sepulchre/sarcophagus is opened, and a vengeful ghostly conquistador comes out of it.

Above the tower of the Alcázar is some sort of sky vortex, though the rest of the sky seems unaffected by its presence.

I must've missed today's releases, or there's nothing that interests me this release Friday. It feels like a @fleshvesseldm.bsky.social day, so "Yearning: Promethean Fates Sealed" it is.

Album art with no text on it. An "alien" world where hands with claw-like fingers come up from the ground. In the middle of the cover is a fissure, with teeth on both sides. Some of the hands seem to catch spirits that are falling from the sky, and some of the spirits are connected by a white string.

Jean Niklas L'orange 🦆@hypirion· Jul 2

Today's album is Nightfall's Children of Eve. This one doesn't feel doomy, so melodic death/gothic? Also, it's kinda interesting how you can hear it's a Greek growler from time to time. Bc. of accent, or perhaps the early 90s Greek black metal bands have this distinct quality to it? #metalsky

Album cover for "Children of Eve" by Nightfall. It has a painted style. A woman with flowing hair embraces a red-toned/bloodied man with long hair with a fearful look. The man is part of a group of red-toned/bloodied men, the others looking more like they're in a rage or anguished. The image is set against a cloudy sky, the woman's hair looks like it melds with the sky.

Really enjoying Shadow of Intent's new release today #metalsky #deathcoresky

Cover art of Shadow of Intent's album Imperium Delirium. A green-tinged necropolis of headless knights, some with their heads in their hand, sword in another. There are stone stairs leading down to a towering "shining" skeletal figure.

Another one where Google's AI just can't. "An Insatiable Violence" was released last week, not this week. There's literally nothing in those link sources claiming it came out this week. Like, this is surprisingly bad, I expected AI to do this without any trouble whatsoever.

Image from Google with the following text:

AI-oversikt (Norwegian for AI summary)

Several new metal albums and EPs were released this week, including works from Cryptopsy, Heaven Shall Burn, and Inhuman Condition. Additionally, there are upcoming releases from To The Grave, Aversions Crown, and Grand Cadaver in the coming weeks.
Here's a more detailed look:

This Week's New Releases (June 27, 2025):
Cryptopsy: An Insatiable Violence
Heaven Shall Burn: Heimat
Inhuman Condition: Mind Trap

I'm gonna be speaking at @hellostavanger.no! It's a talk about what (sometimes) happens when I type in my legal name into a website and click submit, versus what I actually want to happen. (It's probably not what you expect!) www.hellostavanger.no/talks/920261

A website card showing my face and the title "Apostrophe Catastrophe", along with my name "Jean Niklas L'orange" underneath. It is tagged with "product development."

The MRI scan lady: "So you've gotten a priority appointment for an MRI" Me: "oh, yes, that's right" Lady: "But unfortunately our machine is undergoing service the next two days"

The Elmo in Hell meme (Elmo with his hands up, with a face that looks like "oh no, it has come to this", with flames in the background)

Loving all these new AI summaries, they are so good and correct. "Obsidian Ritual" and "Vomit Upon the Altar of God" are also my favourite Witch Club Satan songs, you should really look them up. #metalsky #blackmetalsky

Screenshot of a Google search for `"you wildflower" witch club satan`.

Two videos are the first results, named "Witch Club Satan - You Wildflower (Official Music Video)" and "YOU WILDFLOWER releases on Midsummer, night to the 24th ...".

Then there's an AI summary that says the following:
The song "You Wildflower" is not a known song by the band Witch Club Satan. Witch Club Satan is a feminist black metal band known for songs like "Obsidian Ritual" and "Vomit Upon the Altar of God", but they don't have a song titled "You Wildflower". It's possible there's a misunderstanding or the song is by a different artist.

"Obsidian Ritual" and "Vomit Upon the Altar of God" are not titles of any Witch Club Satan songs.

Whoop, there it is: Vintersorg's new album Vattenkrafternas Spel will be out Sep 26. #metalsky #avantagardeblackmetal www.hammerheart.com/vintersorg-a...

Album cover for"Vattenkrafternas Spel" by Vintersorg. A painted frozen river is in focus, with a snow covered pine forest in the background.

New Vintersorg single you said? Don't mind if I do.

Single cover for the single "Malströmsbrus" by Vintersorg. A painted winter-looking (bleak) landscape with a river in centre and a forest in the background.
