Not one shred of exaggeration - I've seen probably two dozen playthroughs of Expedition 33 since completing it, and it still hits. Brings me to literal tears. What a game.

Senate dems have a chance to do THE FUNNIEST THING tomorrow

Gen-AI stuff is seriously making me think we may never have a cultural grasp on objective reality again. I just saw people analyzing a marketing screenshot from an unreleased game, but they first upscaled it 8x. They then microanalyzed all the cool details. Details that DO NOT EXIST in the original!

omg thank god I have so many problems… using consoles???!!! there is simply… not enough AI in my services???!!!

Stella, a fellow creative, got cheated out of pay by some all-too-common corporate scumfuckery. This is a chance to help fix that!

where we're at: ai sucks ass! the fix? ai!!

“I need it for —“ Shut up. You are worthless. You serve billionaire murderers and pedophiles. Learn to write an email on your own, you piglet.

My current earworm is a Russian Soundcloud rap song. I can't easily sight read the lyrics to follow along because they're in Cyrillic script, I wouldn't understand them if I could, and even then the actual meaning is alien to me, dripping with bitter jaded nihilism. Terrible! And catchy. I love it.

I'd like to say to these people, and this comes from a genuine place of a lesson I myself had to learn: It is all right to have these sorts of thoughts. But they're inside thoughts.

Right now on bluesky a bunch of people who should know better are reposting a claim that the US military was fooled by AI into killing those girls at the school. The source: a FUCKING AI CHAT screenshot presented as a scoop by some rube. The correct move would have been to bully the OP out of here.

If you are able to have Claude write 99% of your code, that is because your code is trivial or you simply do not care about the long-term of your project. It is guaranteed that high usage of these tools will deteriorate one's ability to even judge whether one is deteriorating.

At bare minimum, you should keep your location off by default, run an app tracker-blocker like the DuckDuckGo app, and use an ad blocking mobile web browser. And even then, limiting phone usage is prudent since there's no getting around every major device and carrier being backdoored to hell.

they're trying to kill my beautiful wife (ao3) but the doctors (volunteers) in the ER are doing everything they can.. come home wife .... the kids miss you........

One of my favourite sides of politics/media.

I think anyone who asks Grok to confirm something should have their whole social media access blocked until they complete a remedial literacy and critical thinking course. The social danger of letting them keep posting is just too severe.

Love me some Green Day

what a crazy night for sam altman to be like "yeah we got that dept of war deal, and there's no moral concerns here"

The most draconian propaganda-laundering ever to see a CNN correspondent just regurgitate the language of the Israeli defense minister. Ridiculous. Malpractice at best.

Game devs! As your Steam release date nears, you will get many emails from prospective reviewers. Many will have some cool traits, such as not mentioning your game except by name, not explaining why they like it, and asking for 2-5 keys. Here's how to respond! - Report for spam #indiedev #gamedev

I saw an author on here explain that real writers will spend hours explaining their characters and why they did things, while AI "authors" can't tell you anything meaningful, because they didn't write it. I've noticed similar for coders. It creates an uncanny effect in how they describe their work.

I have a dormant Twitter account so it can't get name camped, but if I ever want to get banned, I think I'm gonna spend a whole day talking shit to anyone who asks Grok to verify something

I love this site and its manually curated chronological feed, because you can read someone's posts and go "damn this mfer is cooking" and click Follow, and then from that point on every time you open the homepage you'll see more cooking.

You can have criticisms but you have those as discussions not demands that’s art and art criticism ya dweebs Also don’t give kids Reddit accounts

Hang onto your offline capable PC, user level admin account, dumb monitor, open source 3D printer, and anything else that just works. I think we may be only a few short years from "refusing to pay rent to a tech megacorp to do basic tasks" being a revolutionary act.

Speak softly and leave that stick by the front door. And wipe your feet. Dinner's ready and your mother has been calling you.

I'm gonna kick John Google in the nuts

There's a flip side to this: chat can be absolutely horrid, especially left to their own devices. I've seen VODs where there's just a carousel of clowns coming through, trolling or backseating or making snippy remarks or hijacking attention. The only sane response is harsh moderation and bans.

Supporting Gavin Newsom in the primary is announcing that you'll step over the dead bodies of trans people and unhoused people to get what you personally want. It's a character defect. We can't be friends.

My girlfriend lights candles with a crème brûlée torch and I think that's dope as hell

Degoogle as much as you can as soon as you can. Here's some helpful ways to do that.

Yeah I'm sure.

todays a big day for longtime discord haters like myself 🫩

Who up John Jacob Jingleheimering they Schmidt

For literal years, I've had a shortcut that shows me every GHPC video on YouTube, sorted by recency. It's a great way to get raw feedback and see how people are interacting with the game! As of this month, it no longer works, as YouTube removed chrono sort from search completely. Fucking what??

"Summarize this email"? How about I summarize my foot up your ass.

Jay and Aaron bluesky are totally in the files aren't they

help i think im going to turn into a marble statue pfp guy but for computer. this is a moral hazard. we’re losing our culture. this decadence will end in decline

Sometimes I still sit in awe of how cynically and viciously Rockstar fucked up GTA Online. They could have done anything with that open world, and they chose to nurture one of the most toxic multiplayer environments I've ever played in: one where the CORRECT way to play is to ruin everyone's day.

I recommend this book here. But I also talked about it in a spoiler filled podcast.

The average gamer has a woeful level of comprehension about how their games are made (which is fine), but once in a while someone will use their wacky assumptions as the basis for a screed about how devs are mishandling the craft. That's weirdo behavior. Don't do that.

half of all tech news lately is some variation of "the computer company has discontinued their well known product, the computer"

Is there like a built-in AI subtitles plugin in DaVinci Resolve or something? Been seeing a lot of YouTubers of all sizes using dogshit inaccurate subtitles with slick professional-looking animations. (By the way, whenever I see these, I write that person off as negligent and lazy. Don't use this.)

At the end of the day, the Black Lives Matter era was about whether people should be killed in the street, and lots of people decided yeah and put those little blue flags on their cars. It spread to everyone because it stopped for no one.

Headline is a bit misleading since this is made by Walmart and posted on the Unity Asset Store, but still... what the hell is wrong with these people?

I made a general reference to current events and my usually soft-spoken therapist cursed aloud about it, if that's any indication of where things are at
