The Singularity is upon us: Apple's AI summarized a text message that read "I'm still down to clown if you are" to.... "clown event still possible."

Seriously? Opt-out via email is a laughably inadequate recourse for selling a product that verges on impersonation and profits on unearned credibility.

I could only see Chris from the lights but I see you now and acknowledge you!!! (Chris's Kotaku video from The Strong was my first awareness of the LaserActive I'm pretty sure)

So, "SchrΓΆdinger no neko" isn't up your alley? How about a fully 3D JRPG about an amnesiac siren? This is "Shinkai densetsu Meremanoid". Already hacked the thing, got a half-width font, script dumped, the whole kit and caboodle.

Ping me if you know Japanese and want to translate it!

I can't say that matters to me one bit

You've at least got an audience of @joshuawolens.bsky.social and @dilfpatrol.bsky.social who no doubt started salivating reflexively

Hey, some of us read it was bad in Leonard Maltin's movie guide!

A screenshot showing 24 Japanese magazine cover thumbnails on archive.org They're Nintendo's Family Computer Magazine's 1987 issues.

Awesome news! @ozidual.bsky.social edited the full run of the 1987 Famimaga (Nintendo's Family Computer Magazine) magazines that I scanned a while back which means they're so much easier to flip through and read now! Check them out: archive.org/details/@ozi...

Leon crouched in front of a dark server array full of drive bays and twinkling blue lights

You think these servers are JBOD or are they running ZFS?

Some great PC representation in Resident Evil Requiem. We've got some off-brand Dell Optiplexes, some Lenovo "ThankCenters" ... and does that beige one have 5¹/⁴ *and* 3¹/²-inch floppy drives??

Sure the island isn't as good as the village or castle, but it still has some killer stuff -- the Iron Maiden enemies, the cat-and-mouse boss fight among the shipping containers, Krauser... RE4 at its worst is still better than most action games at their peak

afaik you just have to use the thing and root around as it suggests an assortment of "experts" based on context (or, perhaps, arbitrarily). Maybe someone with programmer smarts could access its whole database idk

It is a funny irony of the situation that presumably none of the AI editors are based on writing we've edited

So far with some digging we’ve found Grammarly AI editors based on:

@brandon.insertcredit.com
@mackeza.bsky.social
@ramiismail.com
@jasonschreier.bsky.social
@xoxogossipgita.blacksky.app
@stephentotilo.bsky.social

How flattering :^)

Grammarly is using our identities without permission Grammarly’s AI stole my boss’s identity.

I happened to be in downtown SF today, so I tried stopping by the Superhuman AI office to ask about the AI β€œeditor” based on me. Unfortunately just got a very nice office manager who said no one was in.

Lots of games people in Grammarly’s pool too besides me…

I've been running gdcparties.com for a few years now. Some shitty company BlueberryAI decided they'd just take all the source code for the work I've done and reskin it, advertising it as their own. Jokes on them...it was still linked to my events spreadsheet, and now their website looks like this πŸ˜‰

I grew up listening to MCC via my mom as well and still have so many songs from her early 90s albums I wholeheartedly love. Maybe John Doe Number 24 if I had to pick a single fave??

Hard disagree with the above, Double Team and Knock off are a killer double feature. Some amazing Tsui Hark camerawork and some legit stunts in Knock Off. More importantly, Van Damme is clearly on cocaine for the entire movie

Stop the clock: Resident Evil Requiem's first sexy Leon mod hit Nexus Mods just 4 days, 11 hours, and 23 minutes after launch I'm glad we can all share this moment.

"Today, a new page is added to the great chronicles of history. As of 11:23 am EDT on March 3, 2026, Nexus Mods now hosts its first sexy Leon mod for Resident Evil Requiem: Leon Shirtless RPD by modder SERGISHOLS, whose name will live forever."
