Sykt imponerende dette spillet. Har sett en full playthrough pรฅ YouTube. Boggles the mind!

These are the 4 things AI can do well:

โ€ขClean up your email inbox (badly)
โ€ขGive my shittiest neighbor (Alan) something to talk about at a party
โ€ขTell a 12 yr old to kill himself
โ€ขIncinerate a school at 10:16 AM on a Tuesday

You can see why we need to base our economy around it

Sier det igjen: Ikke kjรธp en dritt fra ModRetro!

Om du รธnsker en retro hรฅndholdt/konsoll for รฅ spille gamle klassikere finnes det sรฅ ufattelig mange andre selskaper der ute som ikke eies av den evig ubrukelig rasstappen Palmer Luckey.

Glad people are settling on the term "pervert glasses". Bonus points if you also say it while posting a picture of Mark Zuckerberg or call them Mark Zuckerberg's pervert glasses.

๐ŸŽถ๐ŸŽฎ February 2026 Roundup First roundup of the year, let's go!

I finally got it done. Sometimes โœจLIFEโœจ happens, you know what I mean?

Anyway, I think you should check it out. Plenty of variation this time around. ๐Ÿ™‚โ€โ†•๏ธ

One part of me really, really wants to get back into Deadlock cause the game is looking great, and then another part of me completely deflates at the thought of playing anything that's competitive multiplayer.

Maybe I'm just too old now.

Minner meg om nรฅr vi hadde prosjekt i 6. klasse, ca. 1994. Vi laget minidokumentarvideo om en lokal herregรฅrd og dens historie. Medelevene mine nektet รฅ tro at vi hadde laget den uten hjelp fra voksne, selv om jeg kunne forklare hvordan vi hadde gjort alt. Fikk 'S' da, sรฅ var meget fornรธyd. ๐Ÿ˜

Been working hard on my roundup for February but it's not quite done yet. Hoping to have it done tomorrow evening. Been implementing a new system to stay a bit more organized with all the music I'm listening to, and hoping it will make next month's roundup easier to get out the door. ๐Ÿ™‚

Both Trump & Bibi depend on a fair amount of chaos & prolonged war-powers to stay in power/out of jail - that's probably another factor worth weighing in the analysis of the "why now" question.

Installed @fluxer.app tonight to see what the fuss was about. It's a good looking app, but unfortunately their servers are completely overloaded right now due to its insane explosion in popularity. Hope I'll get to try it properly in the near future when it's more stable.

The political effects of X's feed algorithm

Feed algorithms are widely suspected to influence political attitudes. However, previous evidence from switching off the algorithm on Meta platforms found no political effects'. Here we present results from a 2023 field experiment on Elon Musk's platform X shedding light on this puzzle. We assigned active US-based users randomly to either an algorithmic or a chronological feed for 7 weeks, measuring political attitudes and online behaviour. Switching from a chronological to an algorithmic feed increased engagement and shifted political opinion towards more conservative positions, particularly regarding policy priorities, perceptions of criminal investigations into Donald Trump and views on the war in Ukraine. In contrast, switching from the algorithmic to the chronological feed had no comparable effects.
Neither switching the algorithm on nor switching it off significantly affected affective polarization or self-reported partisanship. To investigate the mechanism, we analysed users' feed content and behaviour. We found that the algorithm promotes conservative content and demotes posts by traditional media. Exposure to algorithmic content leads users to follow conservative political activist accounts, which they continue to follow even after switching off the algorithm, helping explain the asymmetry in effects. These results suggest that initial exposure to X's algorithm has persistent effects on users' current political attitudes and account-following behaviour, even in the absence of a detectable effect on partisanship.

A new paper shows that less than 2 months of exposure to Twitterโ€™s algorithmic feed significantly shifts peopleโ€™s political views to the right.

Moving from chronological feed to the algorithmic feed also increases engagement.

This is one of the most concerning papers Iโ€™ve read in awhile.

This is an amazing-sounding thought experiment, but thereโ€™s a simple oversight that renders it misleading.

In reality, if Bezos lit a million dollars on fire every day for 693 years and 8 months, he would have more money than he started with, because his wealth grows by more than $1m per day.
