Excited for #AIIDE25! @aiide.bsky.social

why do we allow private equity in our society? it's obviously bad for everyone in the world except the people doing it. it should be illegal like fraud

I'm looking forward to checking out MicroTales from Molly Siler, @sgware.bsky.social, Gage Birchmeier, Mira Fisher and Lasantha Senanayake from this years #INT workshop. It looks like a neat event-level narrative planner with a simulation environment complete with support for custom extensions!

Next we have Stephen Ware's @sgware.bsky.social talk on MicroTales, a benchmark for narrative "chess puzzles" with a number of desirable traits! This seems like a really useful planning domain.

started from the bottom, now we here (a new bottom)

@microsoft.com, these are rookie numbers. I could lose way more than this. Call me.

every star trek episode is titled Ere Fire Down From Olympus Came and every plot is "what if a comet had a milf on it"

This is what they took from you

maize maze was right there

it's so crazy we don't have a coke freestyle type of machine but for chip flavors. in some ways we're still basically living in the stone age

INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE SECOND INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE OVER ZOOM TO MEET MORE OF THE TEAM UNFORTUNATELY, YOU HAVE NOT BEEN SUCCESSFUL ON THIS OCCASION, BUT WE HOPE YOU'LL APPLY FOR FUTURE POSITIONS WITH THE VAMPIRE

Really enjoyed my first time at @roguelike.club! If anyone is interest in my talk, "Planning and Replanning Structured Adaptive Stories: 25 Years of History" it's here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ikrP...

Before you embark on a quest for revenge, dig two graves, because that asshole probably has at least one henchmen you're gonna have to kill along the way to getting your revenge.

This is all a question of the pleasure of responsiveness, and for me the best model of this is in @stcymsn.bsky.social’s dissertation. It’s been incredibly influential to my thinking on narrative satisfaction.

Fellas, is it gay to breathe oxygen?

"Technologies like LLMs have utility, but the absurd way they've been over-hyped, the fact they're being forced on everyone, and the insistence on ignoring the many valid critiques about them make it very difficult to focus on legitimate uses where they might add value."

Okay, for the folks who asked: here's the majority AI view, writing up the reasonable, thoughtful view on AI that the vast majority of people in tech hold, that gets overshadowed by the bluster and hype of the tycoons trying to shill their nonsense. anildash.com/2025/10/17/t... Please share!

This heist at the Louvre is like boat stuck in canal, except in 10 years we'll get a kick ass movie about it.

One of the most TRUE signs I have ever seen at a march. Write this down and act upon it, friends. #NoKings #Manhattan

the old ways must croak

But in case you missed it, Fr Dowling's statement takes the time to make it explicit: "Father, forgive the ones who do not know what they are doing. Have mercy on the souls of those who know exactly what they're doing."

What does it say about the capitalist class that they're excited to finally get to own people again?

What's up with everything in tech having rounded edges these days? Is this Web 2.0 2.0?

Most of the power authoritarians have is freely given. We should not comply with them in advance. Trump is far weaker than he looks. So is the GOP. We should draw them out, drain them at every opportunity, and fight for people’s wellbeing at every turn. We have been sent here to fight for people.

If "AI" was as valuable as they say it is, they wouldn't be selling it to you. They'd be using it themselves in secret to make the next Minecraft, the next Avatar, the next Hello Kitty and then they'd sell that to you. They're trying to sell you a sick goose, while pretending it lays golden eggs.

For the 50th anniversary of Rocky Horror my local shadow cast, The Master's Affairs, did the show as Muppets. Casting Muppet movies is a favorite pass time. Let's see if you agree with their casting.

A mass walkout of the UN General Assembly as Netanyahu prepares to speak.

you're telling me these sausages are made out of vegans

Where's a good place to follow all this rapture stuff that doesn't require me to log back into Twitter?

So cool they discovered the cause of autism on basically day they guessed they would. I’m also glad they are withholding this information for a few days to prep for a WrestleMania-style announcement. This is how science works.

C. elegans uses an "accept-reject" behavioural strategy, based on learned features of its environment, to make decisions about food. This research tackles a core problem in #neuroscience: how neural circuits mediate decision-making. buff.ly/AXcsRVX

Loins pretty much the only thing we gird these days.

My power ranking: D: The clear winner. Cantonese food, Indian, enough other Middle Eastern food for variety. Sausages and Vegemite from Austria when you want junk food.

A sign of the times? You mean a clock? Lol

Daily bunny no.3079 is sworn to secrecy

wait so are we horrified about violence or we get fired or we should be really happy about this or what

Knowing your rights is how we hold power accountable.

Watching some old black and white Japanese movie, and whoever this Kurosawa guy is he totally ripped off George Lucas.

A lot of people I know are in today's Wondermark, and they don't like it. wondermark.com/c/1573-the-t...

great work bill cassidy this would have been an excellent question to ask him at the confirmation hearings which you greased the wheels for

i really think Evel Knievel should have named one of his kids Wheelie Wonka. i feel it in my bones

My lab had a historic run at @aiide.bsky.social this year: 3 full papers, 3 posters, 2 doctoral consortia, and (hopefully) 1 workshop paper. This is a record for the Narrative Intelligence Lab, and it speaks to the immense effort by my student coauthors. Here's a breakdown of each paper!

ok I synthesized a few ideas and I think I figured out how to explain basically all goth music

I hate headlines like this. AI isn't ruining them. Business idiots who didn't bother to learn the capabilities and limitations of AI and who are eager to replace workers are ruining job prospects.

Building this city on rock and roll was a huge engineering blunder.

cracker barrel is so woke it’s just called white people barrel now

Just got UFO 50. Where should I start?
