It's stuff like this that reminds me why I was also dubious of AI science fiction, like "the AI lives inside the internet" without anyone knowing. Any server admin would notice the power/bandwidth consumption. This on the other hand is just a bubble.

This goes to my materialism. Some technology with enhance existing disparity of wealth.

I would love to see how low-paid workers like waiters are supposed to use AI for their day job, and why them not using it somehow means AI is reinforcing inequality...?

"Following the discovery, it was recognized that Pluto was not massive enough to be the expected ninth planet, and some astronomers began to consider it the first of a new class of object..." Hang on. They knew ALL ALONG that it was too small??

Happy werewolf Wednesday, freaks

Aaaaaand this is why I deleted TikTok.

The CEO of Palantir posted a fascist manifesto on X. I pointed out that it was fascist—which resulted in a permanent suspension from X (my second time!). So, when you hear the tweeters complaining that BlueSky is intolerant, remember why many of us came here in the first place.

The year is 2027 I am a criminal mastermind participating in very much crime alongside a large and diverse cabal of zany like-minded individuals Together we commit dastardly illegal schemes such as *checks notes* using computers that don't know how old we are

I get that Haze is annoying, but knockdown really isn't the right response.

Just 3 days ago, the story broke showing Flock employees viewing camera feeds in a private community center, including but not limited to the children's gymnastics room and daycare areas.

Hey FTC, this should be a rule.

Yep. This is pretty much how playing feels.

They're going after horror, we said this would happen

hey i’m being real fucking serious right now call your reps. this is insane. he already had thousands of jobs removed from the us fish and wildlife service. dismantling the us forest service will have a devastating impact on habitat protections. im too mad for words.

This point reveals much of the problem of technology generally. Importantly, AI companies are intending to solve alignment through automatic enforcement. Centralized technology leads to authoritarian governance, because technology embodies ideology.

Genuinely makes me want to lay in a bed of warm clay.

AI companies really think they can solve the alignment problem when we still haven't aligned the technology of like, knives

One of my favorite stories my dad used to tell is about how when he was young, he was out with his friends looking at the night sky and said "man this is awful, there's hardly any stars anymore" and his friend replied "what are you talking about?" That was how he learned he needed glasses.

This is what radicalized me as a native of color Seeing them send fire hoses attack dogs and sound cannons on water and land defenders during Standing rock

It's been about a month since I touched the game. With projects that huge, sometimes you really need some time off 😅 Anyway, I've finished propagating simulated water chunk updates to higher LODs, meaning the basic water system is more or less finished! #indiedev #gamedev

I feel this. Deleted my discord and twitch accounts recently.

Welp, Godot has officially passed a new milestone: GDscript, in a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment, officially debuted in an anime. The new anime Needy Girl Overdose shows a few lines of very clear GDscript on a computer monitor in the first episode around the 9 minute mark. (Credit: u/Quincyillpie)

Vote For Women presents a new way to ruin friendships: who wants to play as the Opposition to the 19th Amendment? Game looks fun. I love these political/historical board games.

Deadlock Doodles #deadlock

I watched The Fifth Element last night. I think it's one of the best one off sci fi rom com action movies ever made. It kills me that it was made 30 years ago.

I mean, did it really surprise anyone that 4chan became a breeding ground for antisemitism, racism, and white nationalism when the community unironically modeled its identity after the cult in fight club?

Great graph. It reminds me of this classic by the Wall Street Journal's graphics team: graphics.wsj.com/infectious-d...

I have a thought about this problem, the lack of viable p2p services that compete with things like Youtube and Instagram. The answer is always "users lack sophistication", but then they build the system to enforce dependency on the corporation.

"Haze, you're an absolute madman" - My teammate while I solo Mid boss with all five of my teammates dead and secure all three rejuvenators.

I would wager this is a side effect of being patterned into random advice from the internet being generally reliable. Unreliable sources wither on the internet (except flat earth stuff), but within a neural model, are given equal weight.

Realistic figures reflect human condition.

wouldn't it be funny if EVERYONE blocked this Attie AI account @ bsky.app/profile/atti... before they could do anything with it

There's a rule of evidence that means settlement offers are not admissible, except under rare circumstances: Rule 408. Publishing a settlement offer can be viewed as trying to a) prejudice the court, or b) prejudice the potential jury pool. Both would be viewed unfavorably by the Court.

Scope creep, scope creep. Made a whole pixel editor inside of my game so the players can paint their own little paintings! It's janky as hell, but hey, it works! #pixelart #gamedev #indiegame #godot

Replicube is Picross but a nerd who loves coding shaders came up with it

Just participating in one of my favorite hobbies: adding games to my steam wishlist that I’ll be watching for them to go on sale! 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️

Valve dropped SDK 1.64 about two weeks ago and I've been building updates for it. Then Godot dropped 4.5.2 and that added a little extra time. Then I decided to get the GDExtension updater finished and, well, here we are. Time for some updates. GodotSteam 4.18 and GodotSteam Server 4.9 are now live!
