[AI bubble bursts] billionaire tech bro: the stupid consumer did not understand it

I've genuinely listened to this at least five times a day for the last 3 days: www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5XR...

Attacking a data center like it’s The Bastille, everyone fleeing with a bushels of RAM to desolder and resolder the chips. One peasant coded guy with a wheelbarrow of SFP+ modules. Manifesting this for 2026.

If you pay attention to any large industry long enough and follow it to its logical conclusion you eventually end up sounding like a communist even if you started off testing CPU case fans. youtu.be/cUrJVdF2me0?...

We spoke to a dozen professional concept artists who are currently or have previously worked in game development about whether generative AI image tools have made their jobs any easier. Zero said it did. Most said it made things harder. thisweekinvideogames.com/feature/conc...

The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) paid $18 million for a chatbot named Charlie, which the auditor general reported gave her team the wrong answer 66% of the time. The chatbot's responses were found to be brief and lacking context, with only 2 out of 6 questions answered accurately.

Bears repeating

That much money financing games by actual game developers would have financed 150+ of the highest budget AAA games, and the several orders of magnitude more jobs to produce them. Instead it was burned failing to produce advertiser-safe Second Life.

What a great headline

Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷

re: roblox dude's interview crashout. the thing he wants to say but can't is "at scale, kids are gonna get hurt. that is the price for scale." the thing nobody wants to say out loud is "maybe scaling to a level where harm isn't manageable is bad, and scale should be contained"

Generation Exile Sustainability Edition (i.e. the everything bundle) is 48% off right now as part of the Games from Vancouver Steam event! store.steampowered.com/bundle/60317...

Truly breathtaking, absolutely incredible. Set a hectare of rainforest on fire and the world's stupid robot can enthusiastically and emphatically insist that Zelda is spelled with a "J."

werner herzog: the korok says “i need to reach my friend,” but i see not friendship here. instead i see the cruel jungle, i see abandonment, one left behind, struggling to move, like a turtle on its back, baking in the hyrule sun. “oooh” it cries out in anguish. “aaha.”

Sometimes you just stop and have a think about the fact you can say the words, "I just got an email from Mayonnaise" and you're describing factual reality

i spoke to LOADS of people about this very recently, and the only people using it regularly were the dipshits in charge

"babies are born worshipping unknown gods" is one of the most incredible dwarf fortress bugs i have heard of. its poetry.

We launched GenExile, our solarpunk city-builder, in Early Access last week. We had ~35k wishlists before launch (not a barnburner but not nothin'). And they said, "Well, there's no way you'll convert literally 0% of your wishlists to sales." I looked them dead in the eyes and said, "Watch me."

It was such a pleasure to get to help @softrains.bsky.social with Technical Audio for the unique, mystical, *fungal* experience that is Ambrosia Sky! We really love the game and think you will too 🍄

We... put out a video game? That you can play? On your computer?!? store.steampowered.com/app/2963240?...

Turn off Gemini in Google! It's been turned on by default. Go to your Drive, click the gear icon, click settings, go to "manage apps" and uncheck that nasty "use by default" box. www.zdnet.com/article/how-...

"In the two years since the state started charging a 4% surtax on incomes over $1 million, the effort has created a $5.7 billion windfall, with the surplus being used to fund bridge repairs, bolster literacy programs and address the transportation system’s budget deficit." Taxing the rich works!

NFTs are amazing because you apparently “own” them but the AWS outtage yesterday took out everyones apes lol

Taylor Swift announces next album title: The Queen in Yellow. She told Variety: "A few years back I came across this amazing play and I was so inspired. It's been living in my head for years. I even dream of it, of the city in the play."

Four ways to avoid taking damage in FF6

now where i am from when someone in your office has an accuracy rate of 57.2 percent in editing spreadsheets we call them "fired"

I'm not sure about this branding but I'm not the billionaire business genius

Lowering the flags on 9/11 at the Guantanamo Bay McDonald's for Charlie Kirk is the most dril tweet thing that's ever happened

Profile.

Just found this on my hard drive. It seems I made this just over a year ago. For what purpose? I know not. I could probably go find out, but tbh, I prefer the mystery. And gotta say, I think it works pretty darn well.

[slaps roof] this billion dollar calculator is so bad at math we have to warn you not to use it for math

"Why aren't more Canadians visiting the U.S.?"

really feels like housing affordability is one of the most important political issues of our time, affecting nearly every aspect of our lives, and everyday our mainstream political discourse is about whether sour cream is woke or not

only psychopaths would vote for the flag when my dude is literally in Final Fantasy

AI is the future you guys.

Patient, sobbing: But Doctor, I AM Pagliacci! ChatGPT: Apologies. I didn't realise when recommending Pagliacci's epic show to cure your depression that you were the genius himself. I'm impressed! With regards to your initial question, I can recommend seeing the Great Clown Pagliacci.

Y'all only seeing this quoted bit - which is without question, the *stupidest* thing in the piece - but the core premise of the article is NPCS IN VIDEO GAMES ARE SOON GOING TO BE REAL AND THEY WILL DIE IF YOU TURN THE GAME OFF (despite every specific person quoted in the piece saying the opposite)

You know what emergent tech of the last decade actually works well, and was adopted by millions? 3D printing. It’s great! So many applications. But also nobody is sneering at you for not having or utilizing 3D printing. Nobody is trying to sneak a 3D printer into your garage without your consent

one of the saddest things about video games using generative AI for bulk environmental decals and posters and stuff is they’re such cool opportunities to expand lore and sneak in jokes and leaving a computer to spit out generic malformed gibberish just smacks of not giving a shit
