The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (remake) announced, coming 2026

This is what every game developer sounds like right now.

Seeing people talk about genAI use in video games and being like "Well it's fine if it's just coding" No, absolutely not. You do not encroach upon my field and decide it's okay just because you think it's less artistic somehow. Video game code is art too. Way more than it's science, even.

Harder to think of a clearer example of "The Master's Tools Will Never Dismantle The Master's House" for this era than people using "generative AI" to protest the outputs and infrastructure of "AI"

To the journalists on this beat: 1) You don't actually have to treat every bit of drivel that comes out of Anthropic as a news story 2) If it's news because Anthropic is planning a big IPO, you could frame it as about how ridiculous their valuation is given that they are peddling fantasies. >>

Today Microsoft moved all its GitHub copilot subscribers to token-based billing. If you want to see what happens when people have to pay the actual costs of AI, the day is finally here. It's obvious that every customer sees the deep, meaningful value and isn't angry at all.

You used to be able to google the time of the sunset, and Google would give you the exact time right on top every single time. Thankfully, with artificial intelligence, you can now ask Google what time the sun will set and it will conveniently tell you "I don't know."

Google had perfected something to the point that its brand name became a common verb and then they decided, wait, let's fuck that up completely.

look. is everything more expensive now? yes. but you have to look on the bright side too. now every time you open a computer, it doesn't work

The Equality and Human Rights Commission, unless you’re trans then you don’t get equality or rights and the guidance is ambiguous on if you’re human.

I lied, because “it is a stereotype that gender critical people are nasty bastards” is actually written into this code and sorry you can’t legislate to make people like you

The weird thing about AI though is that it's the youngest who are most skeptical. Take a look at this new NYTimes/Siena polling. AI is mostly bad: 18-29: 47% 30-44: 43% 45-64: 32% 65+: 24% Just 17% of Americans 18-29 say AI is mostly good.

Let's be clear - AI is *not* art. It's just uncreatively remixed stolen art created by actual human artists. No, I will not be taking questions or comments.

We'll just go fuck ourselves, I guess. Or not, because we don't have any time to with all these bullshit slop PRs

What’s not well known is that before 1970 treatment for ADHD was starting to get quite decent. And the press suddenly had a moral panic about Ritalin and it pretty much ended. The mostly women of Gen X and early millennials who got missed are called the lost generation for ADHD diagnosis.

I wrote about why I quit my job, and how weird and tiring tech feels these days.

If you wonder why the "Quiet Posters" feed doesn't work for you anymore, it is because the @why.bsky.team subscribed to an anti-anti-ai block list, rendering it useless for over 300 000 users. Good job bsky team!!

AGAINST ALL ODDS, THOSE WHO BELIEVED BLUESKY THAT THE CRASH WAS DUE TO A DDOS AND THOSE WHO DIDN'T BELIEVE BLUESKY AND WERE SURE IT WAS BECAUSE OF THE AI VIBE CODING WERE BOTH RIGHT

as well as the transphobic shite, and the inescapable comparison to "separate but equal" racial segregation unless the ward doesn't allow male staff (which they ALL DO), it *is not* a "single sex space" under any definition. this is true for mental health wards too, as well as prisons.

You know if you learn to write you don't need either www.tomsguide.com/ai/i-ditched...

Look if we all get together and work hard, I think we can overthrow the morning people

nothing to do but watch the game

the long term effects of medications that have been used for 50 years huh no clue where you'd find that data, no clue at all /s

how should I feel II 4"x6" oil on canvas panel

Gvt & press: OMG stop 'self identifying' as stuff without a clinical diagnosis! It's woke. Us: Can we get diagnoses then? Gvt & press: No Us: Can we at least get a GP appointment to talk about it? GP: uhhh, does it look like exactly 8am to you? Are you currently on hold & lucky today? Then fuck off.

Watching the tech industry unleash unpredictable software into production in the name of AI adoption, then spend twice as much time and money trying to limit the blast radius, proves humans should be investing in our own intelligence before allowing the machines to mimic us.

Happy International Transgender Day of Visibility! We're everywhere and we're cool. Here's the trans pride flag 🏳️‍⚧️ on a mid-90s Pentium running DOS.

If you’re a writer, and your world building omits politics and social commentary, you’re a cowardly shit.

I had one on my badge all week.

My dear friend @jamesl.bsky.social really knows how to pull a crowd to the @isovalent.bsky.social booth! 💙 Loved seeing so many people excited for his new book!

It’s done. #KubeCon

Oh, you can't learn anything valuable on LinkedIn? Then what's this, huh??

Oh, you get that too? 🫠

Found @strongjz.bsky.social looking at ingress-nginx. #KubeCon

Where near the RAI can I get a Red Bull or something 🫠 #KubeCon

We must believe in a world to create that world

Every time I do #KubeCon I’m wiped by the time the actual conference starts, and this year I’m not even at Rejekts. 🫠 I love it of course, but I’m glad I thought to book Friday off on holiday.

Perfect

"GenAI is so useful! You just have to outsource your thinking exactly the right amount to increase productivity while not doing it so much you stop being able to think for yourself. Or go crazy. And you need to know enough about every topic to catch all the lies. Also, it's spying on you."

New horrors on the way for trans adults in the UK... (When they did a similar review for trans teens, they threw out 97% of all studies and then basically went "wow, there's not any research to demonstrate this if effective; guess we gotta ban it.") Now it looks like they're doing same for adults.

It's 2026. Puberty blockers have been banned on the basis of a fake study conducted by a generalist paeditrician. Hormones for under 18s have been banned on the basis of a fake review conducted by a head injury specialist. Both remain available for cis kids because that's 'different' somehow

Medical transition for trans kids is now banned for new referrals on the NHS. Trans kids in the UK can still go private or DIY (for now). This means the new clinics that replaced GIDS are close to useless at best, conversion therapy at worst. 1/5

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

As @davidgerard.co.uk has posted elsewhere, the maintainer of the library HarfBuzz has gone all-in on vibe-coding. typo.social/@behdad/1161... and xcancel.com/behdadesfahb... (apologies for linking to the Twitter proxy service) A note on why this is a worry in the thread ->

Introducing Hannah Spencer MP 💚

OH in the airport: *answering phone* “Hello. Oh, okay. Yep… Yep… Listen, mate, I’m out of the country so it’s not gonna happen. Yeah I’m out for a while… Okay… Bye.” I’ve gotta respect that level of “nah I’m on holiday”.
