For real though, 1993 Mario Bros film is absolutely better than the general consensus would have you believe.

It is most definitely a god damn FILM with all that production design.

WELP.

In this house we don't fuck with genAI.

I would really love to live in a world where I could write an impassioned, well-researched appeal to a corporation and have a single shred of hope that someone would look at it for more than a millisecond, but that is not the world we live in.

CAMPAIGN UPDATE: 6 DAYS TO GO!!!!

💥 The Abughamentum is real!!

💥 We’re within the margin of error of first place and still growing!!

💥 AIPAC is dropping $1 million+ against us!!

💥 Door-knocking and phone-banking shifts every day!!

💥 Donate BEFORE Friday if you want to help us beat AIPAC!!

I calling it bullying because the only language that corporations understand is the language of force and intimidation. Appeals based on evidence, logic, or compassion fall on deaf ears - compulsion is the only mode remaining.

Oh FFS!! What the even hell is this. Up next: learn to love your cancer, manifesting your way out of asthma, is your diabetes insulin dependent or insulin co-dependent? #TransRightsAreHumanRights When they come for the most vulnerable of us, we had better all stand up, or we’ll all get walked over.

BULLYING. WORKS.

the collapse is NOT inevitable! Keep yelling! Keep fighting! We CAN WIN

please do not make me have to vote strategically to avoid a two republican ballot, you cretins

So many average citizens have stood up to Trump.

Alex Pretti went to the street to protect his fellow humans, who the Trump regime was harming. He lost his life for it. Renee Good lost her life for resisting.

And sorry, but—these fucking cowards in the Senate can’t vote against Trump nominees?

every indie dev is one compute shader tutorial away from a grass obsession

holy toledo

now THAT'S what I'm talking about

Politically, this is incredibly stupid, but as a policy matter it’s also incredibly stupid.

The Democrats!

Wait we pokemonwent into a dystopian hellscape?

I could make a lengthy statement about how living / working in Hollywood has shown most wealthy are like utterly incapable purebred (inbred) dog breeds: if not for nepotism they literally couldn’t feed themselves.

Instead I’ll say this: Husted fite me IRL you fucken dusty bitch

If you played on PS3 or PC you got to see the fruits of all my optimization testing and our team's PhysX and APEX destruction integrations... some really cool stuff in there that's still not in any modern games.

it's good when the judge asks a US Attorney this, right?

right?

(fantastic thread about a USAt getting busted for using an LLM to slop out some court orders)

babe wake up the llm cultists are trying to get free localization work from bsky posters now

It's always awesome to see someone remember this game - genuinely amazing squad command and a supremely talented team behind it.
I might be a tiny bit biased due to it being my first AAA game, but, hey, gotta toot your own horn sometime :D

Fuck ICE. Free Palestine. Vote Kat.

Failures of “AI” Promise: Critical Thinking, Misinformation, Prosociality, & Trust So, new research shows that a) LLM-type “AI” chatbots are extremely persuasive and able to get voters to shift their positions, and that b) the more effective they are at that, the less…

This is to answer one question so I couldn't go too deep, but I'm reccing @wolvendamien.bsky.social article: afutureworththinkingabout.com?p=6422 and Justin Brown's siliconcanals.com/sc-d-i-spent...

please stop spreading false rumors about me 💔

i cannot even begin to tell you how many commonly prescribed therapies are technically off label. this is one of those things that sounds scary if you know absolutely nothing about medicine. which to be fair, how would anyone in america know? our system is reliant upon people not knowing.

If the future being pitched to us by LLM companies was actually inevitable on any near-future scale, they wouldn't have needed over one-and-a-half trillion dollars just to get to where they are now.

hi guys I know I haven't been very active lately, and I don't talk about where I'm from often, but the government made some really scary announcements today so I thought I'd share to let everyone know what's happening. here are some posts from twt for context
