a reddit post is claiming Lennart Poettering allowed Dylan Taylor’s surveillance PR through into the systemd repo because it commercially benefits Poettering’s new startup Amutable. Amutable sells "cryptographically verifiable integrity”, OS attestation, & deterministic state compliance for Linux.

All of this, but also even more importantly: What's your problem with computers doing math? ML models are no more inherently evil or harmful than kitchen knives. If you really wanted to make up some slurs, at the very least make them up for who's actually fucking you over: Tech execs.

Animation tests. Studied the frames of the original trilogy a lot to get the look right

I, for one, am not prepared to assume without evidence that this man is incapable of teleportation.

The fact that many tech CEOs find LLMs extremely useful for their day-to-day work says more about what these CEOs bring to the table than it says about the capabilities of LLMs.

Adding to this thread: it’s a common mistake (I’ve made it myself, many times) to think of the motivations of the capitalist elites as essentially mercantilist: that is, that they are largely still motivated *entirely* by profit and loss, selling product, etc. This has not been true for a while.

When you boil it down, the "AI" boom and the ceiling it's starting to bump up against can be explained by two factors I don't often see discussed or understood: 1. ML models don't "learn" in a general away like humans do. ML is about optimizing math problems. 2. Training objectives are very hard.

I think he had a pretty good idea of what he was getting into, actually. www.npr.org/2026/03/17/n...

PANLINE is a very Mirror's Edge looking first person parkour platformer, set in a post-scarcity world, but unfortunately, you are not on that list and still have to make deliveries to earn a living

The FOSS game OpenTTD can no longer be downloaded from Steam except by buying an Atari game currently with "Mostly Negative" reviews. You can still get OpenTTD for free off of Steam, for now. This is still awful and hostile in any case. Fuck off, @atari.com. steamcommunity.com/app/1536610/...

I firmly believe that LLMs have already surpassed the intelligence of many humans, if not most. After all...who's the more foolish? The fool, or the fool who follows it? www.404media.co/ceo-ignores-...

If the computer is a prosthetic (and it is) then this means we legitimately have to be careful about what software we run, because we are deciding what to make part of our selves, part of our minds

Seriously, how was 2025 such a great year for movies?

The emerging cases of AI psychosis have shown that all it takes to drive some people completely insane is to put them in contact with a sycophantic chatbot who always agrees with them. Now, what does that tell us about billionaire CEOs surrounded by sycophantic people who always agree with them?

This "AI in Context" YT channel released a very popular video in July which was extremely loose with the actual facts. They released another hit in October, and another a few days ago which is just straight up disinformation. This is weirding me out. forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/ERuwFv...

All of this plus also water and impact resistant with flaps over the charging port and headphone jack to keep them sealed and dry when not in use, please. God I miss when my CAT S41 phone was still usable. Best phone ever made.

This video upsets me. Everyone is wrong. Neither choice is logical. The premise of the question assumes a violation of logical reality and renders conventional logic and statistical breakdowns moot. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ol18...

Gonna once again point out that everyone has carried around a rectangle containing infinite pornography for the past decade minimum and society didn't dissolve so miss me with any weepy handwringing about smut.

Happy Pokemon Day!! I'm reposting the maps I drew of Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh. Every trainer's journey through Gens 1 -4 is all here!

“The mistake we made was not being clear enough with what we’re doing” is rapidly becoming my most-hated form of corporate doublespeak, because of the level of stupidity it presumes in the audience.

Odd-ish! 🩷 #posca #art #pokemon

i love that you gave to wonder whether americans will have the gumption to throw out a bunch of bums who, after illegally imposing a new national sales tax on you for a year, imposed a new national sales tax on you because they're mad about being told the prior sales tax was illegal

This: But for everything, not just game development

I'm older than you so I can confirm that they came with a little book that had the tutorial in it and you read it on the way home

"Birth of the Homunculus" A sorceress astounded by her creation. This painting has been floating around in my head for months now, and I only found the right time to bring it to fruition yesterday! (see thread for details + process shot-by-shot)

liberal walking into the car dealership: i want the second shittiest car you have. i will buy it for literally any price

As it turns out, when you post a bunch of flyers for how expensive games were in the 90's and say things just cost "what they're supposed to cost" now, you get sales figures from the 90's too. Hey guess what, game sales in the 90's were comparatively low because they were too fucking expensive.

Facebook plans to put facial recognition in its glasses and they think we’re too stupid to fight back. Their internal memo: “We will launch during a dynamic political environment where many civil society groups that we would expect to attack us would have their resources focused on other concerns.”

The deeper you get into the complexities of getting a rigged character with IK and physics properly working in a videogame, the more Rayman makes sense as a character.

Discord lied. they’re now sending scanned IDs to persona, a third party company. “facial scans will never leave your device” -discord lmao.

Microsoft has withdrawn their DMCA claim! The game is back up on Steam! Allumeria is back! Thank you EVERYONE for your support. It's hard to comprehend that a single post in my discord would lead to so many people expressing support. Thank you <3 #gamedev #indiedev

OpenAI and these other generative LLM peddlers have deliberately co-opted the language used in these fields and slapped it onto their plagarism engine, specifically so people will "well-actually" anyone arguing their products are garbage with "it's used in science actually"

Toyota has just announced a proprietary game engine, but that doesn't mean it's targeting PC and consoles www.eurogamer.net/toyota-fluor...

When your rulers' actions cannot possibly be rationalized using their stated motives, e.g. "protecting the children", that is how you know when their stated motives were not their true motives.

Every business right now thinks its such an essential part of your life that you'd give them anything to keep using it and brother I am here to tell you I don't need a chat app that bad
