Bonhoeffer on Stupidity

Not spicy at all. People who do this are actually just amateurs. Anyone who has actually worked hard on games for a long time knows that *any* game is incredibly difficult to make and respects the craft. People who do this are real losers.

Oh man I just made the funniest post on my own social network! There are some really quality posts there! No I won't share them!

I watched this (youtu.be/TMoz3gSXBcY?...) on the abuse of LLMs & 'vibe physics' by @acollierastro.bsky.social - well worth a watch! - and I was struck by how the back 15 minutes (the 'thought train') also summed up neatly what it has been like to be a public-facing historian, even before LLMs.1/

I'm not going to use the word binge in relation to watching TV. Or really in relation to anything. It's not a positive word, it doesn't conjure feelings of joy.

Could have a lot of fun at work with this: higround.co/products/hig...

I'm reserving my best posts for my own social network now and it feels like I've figured something out. Feels good to feel like I'm contributing to something valuable that will last. It's something I've been missing.

BlueSky team working on AI bots: bsky.app/profile/pene...

Here's an example of the kind of scam you get when you register a company. Looks like a legit government wmform but it's just a scam trying to get you to pay for something that is actually free to file. The company name is "501-CORP".

What do people use for gamedev version control today for small/medium/large projects? I thought the medium/large were still Perforce, but I'm hearing that many people are using Git+LFS now?

PSA: Slack will auto-enable AI features on all your workspaces in two days (July 17th) unless you opt out. They describe opting out as "fine tuning the settings".

More past work repost! :d Star cruiser Hephaestus #spaceship #illust #イラスト #scifi

Bye forever, WeTransfer.

I'm lichen this!

anti-doomer sentence of the day: "Globally, roughly a third more power is being generated from the sun this spring than last" www.newyorker.com/news/annals-...

Unfortunately, I think this is correct: x.com/JNavok/statu...

Look, I've already asked you to stop using my high-school nickname and is appreciate it if you would respect my wishes.

Do you consider mutuals to be more trusted than non mutuals you follow on socials?

You can despise someone's politics and also acknowledge a tragedy when children die. Children are not responsible for the actions of their parents and they don't "deserve" anything but love and care. If some gloat over people dying in the LA fires, doing the same thing makes you the same as them.

Everyone on here knows that the BlueSky developers are fully into AI and crypto right?

What is this "not bacon" stuff? I can't identify it:

Eating my breakfast with my hands in New York like a native New Yorker.

Got annoyed with YouTube shorts sucking my time so I wrote a local chromium extension to kill them with fire.

Live music for Macy's 4th of July on NBC the background is totally dark, but out of t the window in NYC is still light. What is this conspiracy!?!? What are these lies!

A company once had a private detective follow me around for a month after I quit because they thought I was working a second job while on garden leave. At night he would sit outside my flat and in the day, he would turn up after I went for job interviews and ask questions.

Not engaging with posts that are designed to make you engage is one of the most important skills you can develop. If you don't agree with that then you're a fucking moron!

Really nice little platformer! dietzribi.itch.io/uvsu-demo

Still runs on current macos under crossover :)

I forgot about the Steam Summer Sale! You can pick up the entire LOVE series for $7.24, and I'd appreciate it if you did! store.steampowered.com/bundle/32119...

People who argue that the law and ethics are the same thing really blow my mind. You don't need to be a history student at all, you just need to think of literally any time any group of people on earth were discriminated against legally based on the laws of the time. It's everywhere in history.

Having experienced Tesla full self driving (supervised), it will absolutely cause a serious crash in Texas. It's just a matter of when.

"X is just a distraction from Y" presumes that X and Y aren't equally as bad and equally as deserving of attention. If you "flood the zone" with enough bad stuff, then yeah, it's not possible to report on it all, but that's the actual problem, not that one is better or worse than the other.

Another drawing has a birthday today. This view of Staithes on the North Yorkshire coast, was finished 23rd June 2020 as the first Covid lockdown started to ease off. #ArchitecturalIllustration #pencil #drawing #Staithes #ArtShare

"Iran's nuclear programme has made rapid advances since Trump pulled the United States out of a 2015 nuclear deal between Tehran and major powers that placed strict limits on its atomic activities in exchange for sanctions relief."

But you do know what you're going to get in a box of chocolates. I mean there's a little card inside telling you what they are. And it says on the outside what's in the box.

Have you eve used an AI and had it say "I don't know" ?

listening to the final fantasy 7 soundtrack rendered in real time on my Roland JV-1080 lol

I've got a say, I find Indiana Jones and the Great Circle incredibly frustrating in terms of the UI/UX. I'm constantly doing the wrong thing.
