Space! Welcome to Mars. A place I've visited often, in my renders at least. Always chasing the perfect image of the red planet. Not got it yet but the journey is half the fun. #Lightwave3d #Scifi #ScifiArt #Mars

I have a huge backlog of games to get through spanning ten years and more , I have no problem not buying games from studios doing this and watching them rethink when their profits drop.

Autofahrer rast mit 98km/h durch Berlin, tötet Fußgänger, und begeht Fahrerflucht. Urteil gerade: 22 Monate auf Bewährung. Klimaaktivist blockiert wiederholt für 30 min eine Straße um die Gesellschaft für die Klimakrise aufzurütteln. Urteil: 22 Monate Knast ohne Bewährung Ein völliger Wahnsinn!

A superb piece, not the least for the author's insistence on using "emit" to describe a chatbot's output. That's exactly what's happening! They're not *saying* anything. They're not *telling* you anything. They're emitting words. Such an important distinction. www.theatlantic.com/philosophy/2...

Drama struck the city again with the construction of Kapine Tower, the new HQ of telecom firm Kapine. It was built on Wood Street, the border between high density Downtown and low density George Harrison Park. (1/3) #CitiesSkylines2 #TrinityGate

Feels slow at times, but I’ve certainly made some progress on my relaxing building game 🌳🏡Island Architect🏡🌳! #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #gamedev #indiegamedev

I don't think Americans really understand how bad literacy has gotten when teachers say students don't even know words like unfathomable or pearlescent, or inexplicable everyone I know that's not a native speaker know and use stuff like that all the time, how can a native college level not know

Hate, racism, corruption, stupidity... The greatest danger lies in their ability to work together #MAGACULT Ex-MAGA influencer Ashley St. Clair explains why she was offered a "substantial" sum to "not speak" about her time in the MAGA "cult." Thread 1/5🧵

Time I post something again I guess 😅 So here's some build progress images of a Terraria base I'm working on with a friend ^^ #Terraria #Fairy #Grove

Bicycles are hugely space efficient, which is why they make a lot of sense in congested cities. This video demonstrates why there aren’t traffic jams in bike lanes. Just imagine the traffic queues if every bicycle here was a car.

When politicians say they can't hold corporations accountable, remember: they can. They just choose not to.

This familiar story carries particular weight because it unfolded in Europe’s most auto-dependent economy. While Slovakia manufactures millions of automobiles, its capital proves prosperous cities aren't defined by how efficiently vehicles move through them, but how comfortably humans stay in them.🔚

The arguments mirrored those heard in cities around the world: businesses would collapse, traffic would become unbearable elsewhere, ordinary people would lose access to the city. Instead, the opposite happened. Because rather than simply banning cars, planners reimagined what the Old Town could be.

This is a safe space: feel free to drop your favorite conspiracy theory in the comments.

There are SO MANY human writers who dream of seeing their books in stores. Instead we get computer generated slop filling shelf space. It's an insult to writing.

Let’s go biking this summer :3

Every time we hear about how genAI has pushed another teenager to suicide, another person into committing a mass shooting, or generated CSAM of school girls used to blackmail their schools, remember we were told that what we'd be hearing about is a cure to every cancer, and global poverty itself

❤️‍🩹The reunion of two loyal friends after a long separation – a Ukrainian soldier and his dog. First, the dog seemed to scold him for being away so long. Then it started hugging him. I’m not crying. Something just got in my eye.

Keep this in mind when people claim cars mean business — closing Central #Madrid to cars over holidays resulted in a 9.5% boost in retail spending on its main shopping street: STUDY. There was also a 71% drop in air pollution. Via @carltonreid.com in @forbes.com. #citymakingmath #citiesforpeople

It’s always hilarious when people who couldn’t make a salad opine about how nobody could eat without their divine presence.

Someone just told a pro AI bro in my comments: I’m not using it because it’s not smarter than me, I can see why you like it though.

Entwickler sind von KI-Einsatz nicht begeistert Während Führungskräfte KI idealisieren, zeigen sich Softwareentwickler zunehmend frustriert über die entstandene Mehrbelastung.

NEW: Solar plus batteries cheaper than gas. “A new report finds that 24/7 ‘firm’ clean energy is cheaper than coal & gas in many parts of the world. The Iran War may catalyze faster adoption.” It’s just really dumb not to lean in on renewables. Unless your personal profit requires oil dependency…

I've been receiving emails daily (!) whether I'd be willing to promote Meshy (crappy AI 3D model generator) for cash. Obviously I don't, I'd much rather tell you all that it's crap for free :)

A daily sight in Utrecht: cyclists queuing up at the busiest intersection of the city during rush hour. Just imagine the space needed if all those cyclists were driving a car instead...

France is mandating solar panels on every large commercial car park in the country — turning millions of square metres of idle asphalt into one of Europe's most productive clean energy assets. I have been mentioning this for months - they are shooting up on all the supermarket car parks.

"According to the survey, 99% of artists “disliked” AI; for 92%, the dislike was “strong.” And that distaste translates into action, too. Per the survey, 85% of artists completely abstain from using AI at all. And 88% percent refusal use AI to generate images." Empowering

It genuinely doesn't matter if AI works for devs. The technology is built on disenfranchisement, exploitation, abuse, destruction of the environment and elimination of human labour at the expense of the labouring human. And FOR WHAT. There is no upside that can compare to the downside.
