Anna a profité de la scène des Pégases pour révéler le musée virtuel Hall of Femmes. #Pegases2026 Plus d'informations très vite ! #halloffemmes #womeningamesfrance

Women in Games lance le 8 mars sur Minecraft le serveur "Hall of Femmes" qui célèbre des personnalités féminines de l'industrie et de l'histoire du jeu vidéo

Not only has the NIH terminated hundreds of grants, they’re also giving out far fewer grants than appropriate for their budget. Some researchers will have to close their labs or severely cut back their research. This is a self-inflicted wound.

The secretary of Miami-Dade County’s GOP started a group chat for conservative students — and within 3 weeks, it was filled with over 400 instances of the N-word, Nazi rhetoric and writings of "dozens of ways of violently killing Black people"

Gotta be honest, humans being wiped out by an asteroid is the least of my worries right now… sadly, somehow..

Extremely sad to watch US science —some of the best in the world— being abandoned...

If we care about human life (and earthlings in general) we can’t let AI make important decisions unsupervised by responsible humans. www.newscientist.com/article/2516...

Horrifying and devastating to wake up to.

Thinking of all the civilians having to deal with bombings, war, repression in their daily lives, and especially Iranian civilians today. Stay safe.

What we argued in Stochastic Parrots, however, was that you can get those benefits of the transformer architecture without ammassing datasets too large to collect with care (meaning consentfully, intentionally, and with the ability to document what's in the data). >>

Brenda is an important role model in our crumbling & increasingly unethical industry. She’s both extremely talented & lovely (I’m eternally grateful for her foreword in my book). We need more people like @brendaromero.bsky.social and more coverage of the awesome things she does, please and thanks.

Les années 30 sont partout. Dans les éditos, dans les débats, dans les unes alarmistes. Mais parle-t-on vraiment d’histoire, ou d’un réflexe collectif face à l’incertitude ? Comparer peut éclairer. À condition de savoir ce que l’on compare. ➡️ https://l.franceculture.fr/fz2

Whoa— what the hell?… 😧

This world is scary but at least we have Lady Gaga to cheer us up and make us feel part of a joyful community.

This local Wolfdog joined an Olympic ski event and triggered the finish-line camera. This is Nazgul. He snuck into a cross-country skiing sprint this morning and raced the homestretch with some competitors before being escorted home. 14/10 someone get him a medal

1. I’m quite happy with this popular piece that Lee Dugatkin and I wrote recently. For the next two weeks it’s free to read on the American Scientist website.

I hope you’ll join us at #GDC to talk about #ethics in #gamedev!

So good y muy divertido! 😍

Retrouvez sur YouTube la conf de @celiahodent.com «Jeux vidéo, sciences cognitives et design éthique», qui s’était tenue au musée du JV. Forte d’une expérience de 17 ans (ex-Epic Games, Lucasarts…), elle décrypte comment différents paramètres façonnent le game design. ➡️ youtu.be/lxos7Bmx_lg?... 1/2

This looks bad, right? But here is the thing... ITS WORSE This survey only reached a narrow selection of respondents. Notably cut anybody who has been unemployed for too long. Mostly just ppl who can afford to attend GDC. Many laid off before 2025 are still looking! variety.com/2026/gaming/...

Just a few pictures of Greenland, one of the most beautiful places in the world, for no reason whatsoever.

Thinking of the people of Uganda youtu.be/un2unuN0RHg

Looks like ICE is now cracking down on … Native Americans. This letter was just posted by the chairman of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe in North/South Dakota: “Our Nation is a sovereign government and our members are not immigrants. We are not subject to immigration enforcement on our own lands.”

The world news is quite overwhelming. Thinking of all the people who are trying to live under political instability or worse, bombs, those fighting for their freedom or merely for the right to exist, those facing winter without a home or electricity, those pushing back repression... Be safe 🌸

New: 6,700. That's how many sexually suggestive or nudifying images Grok is producing every hour, according to an analysis. X is now a top deepfake site. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Thinking of my Venezuelan friends. I truly hope things are going to get better and that you’ll be able to finally go back home. But such interventionism wasn’t beneficial for the people in recent history, sadly (Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya..). My thoughts are with you 🌹 time.com/7342906/vene...

Whoa… And all of these decisions without Congress. www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

I wish you all a kind and fulfilling new year. May it bring you peace, good health, lots of joy, interesting projects, and a united and supportive community that can help you face strong winds, may you encounter some. Take care 🌻 (This is my photo, taken close to Cape Horn).

Welcome to France, Amal and George! We love to “râle” and we have problems but we also love to enjoy life and free healthcare 😉

Worth noting that @celiahodent.com has written a 2nd edition as well! And the book is available in a multitude of languages 😊

The irony of making money with GenAI videos of climate disasters thus worsening the climate emergency… We must resist gen #AI bullshit widespread use www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Damn… This is harsh and extremely sad…

If you’re tempted to buy a ModRetro please take a moment to learn about the company behind it. Anduril is specialized in armed drones and military surveillance systems. We #gamedevs make games to brighten people’s lives. Let’s not give money to arms dealers. www.timeextension.com/news/2025/12...

Happy solstice everyone!
