LENINGRAD CAKE FACTORY

Yes, so it turns out that watching most of Traumazone in one sitting is not a good idea. You’ll reach 11pm on a Friday night basically ready for bed and full of despair. I know how to kick off a weekend, that’s for sure.

Also, the LENINGRAD CAKE FACTORY will haunt your dreams.

I am in two minds as to whether to update But This Was A Fantasy? to include the new series. It is 420 minutes of footage after all, and would give me a good excuse to fix a few awkward bits in the UI and maybe move from FAISS to a different vector database in the backend. But I feel I’d also have to edit out a few bits of the documentary. There’s hardcore amateur porn, photos of beheaded people and video footage of mutilated bodies. None of which you want to have popping up on a random vector search. Of course, if I do move to a different backend, I could run a classifier over the footage and give people a ‘safe search’ option by default. Which would have its own problems, but might be something to try.

Anyway, next week, we’ll begin the Autumn Archival Drama Period in earnest. It’s time to go full Potter.
