Americans mad at this like "I'm fine with fascism if it meant the movie theaters survived!" and then never go to the movie theaters. www.cnn.com/2025/12/05/m...

Last week @theverge.com published my essay exploring the limitations of large-language models. This week, that same essay is cited by a federal judge in Michigan to distinguish the process of human reasoning from what these models do. Very, very gratifying.

The backrooms seemed to be hauntological but were in fact an intermediate future prediction of AI generated residences to be built and immediately abandoned at Neom.

Thinking "impressions" and "user reviews" are real is a true "dead internet" flag. Before 201X, journos understood the limits of these measures and their place in the web ecology. But then a new generation of rich kid dipshit started getting work in media and twitter impressions = nielsen captures.

The Campbells brouhaha had me thinking. I've always been a fan of how the Tekken announcer says "chicken." The enunciation rests at an optimum short of declarative (Chicken!) but not quite interrogative (Chicken?), and thereby exists in perfect culinary tension. www.youtube.com/watch?v=sEGy...

Got one of these 5 years ago and feel strangely incrowd now.

the only good thing about genAI is that it got me to really love seeing bad art, because I know a person put in time and effort, made themselves vulnerable by showing it to others, and is trying to improve. I value that more than anything now

In this house, we believe: - love is love - science is real - books are magic portals - pants are always optional - squirrels are little demons - the forest accepts you as you are, and for who you will become

And here why Disney can continue to maintain its Roger Rabbit works even though a statute reverted rights in the characters back to the original author. The statute doesn’t revert ALL rights back to it. It allows the grantee/licensee to continue with existing works under the contact.

The first computer game I ever played was Survival on the ZX Spectrum and there'll always be a deep well of interest for bird simulators

The obvious meaning of "placeholder" here is that they're using the AI to generate the art and having humans paint out the sloppy mistakes. But this takes just as long and has all kinds of failure modes with "management" written on them.

I wrote on @boingboing.net about Disney losing the rights to Roger Rabbit - they reverted to the author of the original novel boingboing.net/2025/11/17/d...

You only need 512 lines to show entire Gauntlet levels (32x32 tiles, 16x16px each) full-screen. 960x540 (i.e. 1920 x 1080) holds it nicely on modern displays.

The Daily Mail is owned by Jonathan Harmsworth, 4th Viscount Rothermere, the great-grandson of its founder, a Nazi, whose money he lives off.

This seems like such a dumb problem to give yourself. They could take the opportunity to make the next Bond "run" be what people used to assume might be the case in the 20th Century era, that it was a codename. Having to become Bond seems an interesting inner life challenge for a "fast horse"

Death Wish movies appeared once every 3 years on average until the series ran out of steam. Had it continued, we would be looking forward to a 105-year-old Charles Bronson in Death Wish 17 next summer.
