The year is 2035. There are three game studios left. Each one produces a game every 10 years, killing 250+ developers in the process. They all accidentally make the same game because they used genAI in preproduction. They sell 500 million units each, missing quarterly targets. Everyone is laid off.

This morning my ChatGPT quota was inexplicably exhausted.
It took a while but I pieced it together. Voice mode somehow got activated when I went to bed.

(I've had this happen to me too, by an NPO client who gave it to a big consultancy because they were a sponsor and promised to do it for free. Turned out great.)
Green-tinted image showing a bowl of strawberries created by Japanese psychologist Akiyoshi Kitaoka that doesn’t have any red pixels in it, despite the strawberries looking red (they're actually grey, and it's just their relation to the overall green tint combined with what colour we expect to see on a strawberry that creates the illusion).
US: “I believe it when I see it! Reality is what our senses tell us! Always trust yourself!”
SCIENCE: “Here is a picture created by Japanese psychologist Akiyoshi Kitaoka that doesn’t have any red pixels in it, showing how easily we’re all fooled by what we think we can see. Have a lovely day.”

Mountains in Laax Switzerland
Sorry to interrupt your doom scrolling. Here are some mountains.
In January of 2021, photos started bouncing round the internet of this deeply weird thing happening in the sky above Glasgow, Scotland. Photoshop trickery?
The bizarre truth:
- yes, everyone really saw these

- they absolutely don't exist.

Im Aargauer Hinterland, wo @bluelle.bsky.social aufwuchs, gaben rechtsradikale junge Männer den Ton an. Und sie forderten Unterwerfung. Unser Redaktor fragt sich: Welche Rolle habe ich damals gespielt?
If you can only name a few "explainer graphic novels" as Zach calls them, you might be delighted at the incredible variety of the genre found in this thread!

I call 'em "explanatory comics", though just "explainer comics" might be snappier. Hm... 🤔
("Non-fiction comics" is too broad IMO.)
On this day 12 years ago, @kcg.bsky.social posted the “This is Fine” comic.

Today I was asked in an interview about folks who use the weirdness of ✨quantum✨ to hawk pseudoscience junk. I think that kind of grift proliferates because of a big misunderstanding a lot of folks have about quantum mechanics, which is not really their fault!
