Axe Ghost. On Steam!

my wife and i, decadent emperors, turning off a $200M netflix series 12 minutes in, not entertained.

intelligence exists independently of personhood now & people are struggling with this new reality

yes. the rule *is* well tailored, coincidentally or not, to enable godot to say "this project doesn't rely on ai" with plausible deniability. and this might be a strategic consideration that's real for them, given their user base.

for the avoidance of doubt: I want to emphasise that LLMs tell me things id rather were not true many times each day

Godot 4.x: arbitrary code execution via .po translation file Plural-Forms header

anti electricity propaganda from the 1900s

if your godot game accepts community authored .po translation files you should urgently read this.

I suppose the issue, is non AI users can't understand how a person may simultaneously not understand/be interested in line-by-line code that touches the bug, & *still* have justified certainty that a finding is real (repro, antagonistic review, general llm-knowing) I claim to be in this position

A community translation can run attacker-chosen code in an exported Godot game axeghost.offprint.app/a/3mysixmpap...

in response to my query godot updated the contact page to make clear that even for security bugs, ai-generated reports are not welcome. since all my reports are created that way, i won't be attempting coordinated disclosure with them any longer. more to follow.

pick one

here is a demo of my "ah" tool showing: - terminal-synced dashboard with live HTML task tracker - side by side markdown editor - diff review UI - arbitrary HTML illustration all of which have integrated buttons/chat/comments that talk back to the running TUI agent. will make repo public soon

maybe this is already that!, but now I'm thinking of a 'chat interface' that's really a long html page w wherever arbitrary widgets/illustrations the agent deems helpful to add on its turn. with your regular text input fields inbetween.

very nice talk by @maggieappleton.com. the demo at the end is a lot like the thing I am about to open source that lets agents in the terminal spin up arbitrary HTML pages that talk back to the agent

yes. 7 prototypes here. a maximum of three have a chance at being worked out into completed games, the rest aren't good enough - i wouldn't want to be represented by that work.

"I've decided that it's okay to be a bigot about [cause]. because winning is that important"

A lot of people seem confused because AI both lowers the floor AND raises the ceiling. They se slop and assume thats all that's possible. But special is possible but takes effort! Don't listen to people who cannot imagine using a powerful tool to do anything but put minimal effort in.

"A tech that lets a Zimbabwean teenager compete with a 40 something American suburbanite knowledge worker is going to test a lot of people's progressivism."

validated. a 'power user' day of DeepSeek 4.1 Flash in my location (eur) is less resource intensive than the same number of netflix HD watching hours.

heuristic: 'there's no reason for anyone to X' statements are wrong

i wanna hammer on this too: most of everything you touch exists because industrialization made it cheap; your couch is factory-slop, as any carpenter will gladly tell you. your phone as well if you call me stupid, you'll use industrial slop to do so, even aside from 'bsky uses llms'

llms are very useful for finding errors in published papers

menger stays winning

Cool site

Just got my first real sale for @avette.eu ✨ super super happy about it. It's a dictation app for macOS, the productized version of what I've been using for a year. It's really very good, I encourage you to download and try it out, should be fresh air after whisper/parakeet/apple stuff x)

another one: disk latency they measured the latency of continuous disk write workloads and modulated the workload to create latency. The latency transmits information

the scariest part was that in every test that involved an internet connected service, the agents were able to figure out how to exploit it

basically if you have an idea that you want to be able to spread to other people, politics or journalism or pretty much anything, it has to be AI-friendly (no paywall, no crawler blocking) and you have to chill out about copyright. surprisingly few understand this
