Most accurate portrait of modern culture currently available

An underrated reason the "AI" "revolution" is shit, is scraped "generative AI" is a *LOSSY* record of all human data. An "LLM" model can recreate past images or sentences, but not in the form someone labored over and loved it— it can only preserve it by making it worse. Pirates should be archivists

Gonna have to ask why GDC keep letting invaders in, do they not know their audience? Crypto, NFT, GenAI..

Pokopia is going to sell more than GTA6 in 2026

Still no Eevee in my Pokopia. Where is my Eevee

It's a hobby, not an obligation. If you're having fun, great! If not, you can do something else. If structure makes it more fun for you, knock yourself out. If it makes the hobby onto a chore, you can go without structure. You do you.

The same reason college doesn't have a class to teach you Microsoft Teams The whole world is going to throw this shit at you, and it's likely to change faster than the college can prep to teach it to you properly But many of the foundational concepts you learn in college are literally timeless

I’m sure Iranians will be very open to a leader chosen by the people responsible for this.

It's incredible that not only China not paid the tariff, the US Tax Payers are now paying the tariff at $700 million a month

YOU ASKED FOR THIS! Downfall. Kristi Noem Edition:

““So … what the hell is wrong with this guy? One word: insecurity. Pete Hegseth is the textbook definition of “overcompensation,” “fragile masculinity,” and “incomplete pull-up.”” apple.news/A4FQNI_fKS6O...

Stay safe, trans people in Thailand. It's getting very ugly all the sudden

Pokopia is dangerously addicting. Animal Crossing all over again

It's not that AI is useless. It's that AI is useful like asbestos was useful.

Now that it's out, I can finally share that I had the pleasure of working on the English localization of the wonderful Pokémon Pokopia alongside a fantastic team! I've been waiting a looong time to see what people think of this one, and we are unbelievably proud of how it turned out!! HAVE FUN!

You guys won't believe how much LGBTQ+ are getting detailed by pronouns right now in Thailand.

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

Yeah, I saw the trailer. It was just really unfunny punching down

I miss the days of Andrew Dice Clay, when edge pushing comedians were all “Fuck ‘em if they can’t take a joke” and not “I said stuff I knew was offensive and people are offended WTF!”

I'm a member of the family that has served/worked with the royal family for three generations (not me).

Raskin: Based on what you know today, were Renee Good and Alex Pretti domestic terrorists? Noem: What happened was an absolute tragedy. Raskin: Were they domestic terrorists? Noem: My condolences to their families Raskin: You lied about them.

I’ve been notified about another death in ICE custody. This marks a stunning 40 deaths during the second Trump administration. This cannot continue. There must be real accountability for ICE and DHS.

What it is Like to Accidentally be Trapped in a Country at War By Zack Davisson Hey! You seen on the news of evacuation orders for Americans whose vacation was suddenly disrupted by a little war as a treat? Well, it happened to me too. Gather round for story time! Destination, EGYPT!!! (1)

If you ever want to read a paper for free and can't find it otherwise, email the lead author and politely ask for a copy. You will not be bothering the person. You will in fact make their whole entire day. I have had scientists get so excited I asked they sent me everything they ever published.

Add in a fourth primary in NC: Michael Wray, a former North Carolina Democratic lawmaker who helped the GOP override a bunch of Governor Cooper's vetoes before losing in 2024 to progressive challenger Rodney Pierce, was trying a comeback. He is down 62% to 38% so far.

NOT JUST THIS: Two other Democratic lawmakers in North Carolina who sided with the GOP to overturn vetoes of major bills (e.g. anti-trans legislation) are also losing in their primaries so far to progressive challengers. This could be a major night in NC.

Wow: In the early vote, it's a blow-out *so far*. Rodney Sadler, the progessive pastor and activist, leads state Representative Carla Cunningham 75% to 18%. (Stay tuned as we see how the Election Day vote compares, but that's an ominous start for the incumbent.) Context:

deleted his tweet as soon as an actual war popped off

Calling AI "slop" has been one of the most effective instances of the public rebranding a product and it pisses them off.

"we had to attack iran to stop their nuclear development, even though we supposedly did that last summer, because they won't agree to a deal we'd withdraw from anyway so we could go to war"

Pombon please don't

New family

Pokemon Winds and Waves, i like it. The new gen looks a big step up

Oh my Pombon, please stay four legs

Oh noooo

Jesus fucking Christ, shoes on the bed? This is peak psychological horror…

I will never forget when Mikami-san rushed me into a side office in Osaka and showed me the controller. “Please authorize this for Xbox.” I did.

AI Added 'Basically Zero' to US Economic Growth Last Year, Goldman Sachs Says https://gizmodo.com/ai-added-basically-zero-to-us-economic-growth-last-year-goldman-sachs-says-2000725380

Some of the weirdest gatekeeping I’ve ever seen

TDIL from some YouTuber that Isaac Hayes didn't want to leave South Park, but some Scientologist did it in his name while he was suffering from stroke, and Matt and Trey never knew about it

The Ford Pinto had a death rate of 85 people for 10 million cars sold. The Cybertruck hasn't sold 10 million, but the fatality rate so far maths out to 1,452 people killed per 10 million sold. The Cybertruck may be the deadliest road car, for the occupants, ever sold. fuelarc.com/evs/its-offi...

Some AI startups are boosting their valuations by raising capital in back-to-back or multitiered deals, raising questions about how much they are really worth (Angel Au-Yeung/Wall Street Journal) Main Link | Techmeme Permalink

"AllTrails has a new generative AI feature that can be asked to 'shorten my route' or 'make this more scenic.' But the people in charge of searching for lost hikers say the feature is going to exacerbate an issue they’ve been warning about for years: hiking apps providing false information."
