Oh, dear. I had the good fortune to meet him a few times at conventions and had lunch with him once in Australia. Such a lovely fellow and of course an iconic figure in science fiction. RIP.

Single board computers allow literally anyone access to a machine more powerful than pretty much anything available to normal people when I was growing up, at 1/10th the cost. Yes it's all more expensive than it was, because of AI market implosion, but an SBC is still viable for just about anyone.

Casual reminder to Democrat politicians that even the majority of conservative voters don't really seem motivated to vote based on hating trans people. And if they did they certainly wouldn't vote for you. So all you do in opposing trans rights is lose voters.

Every single hobby I love has has been infected by slopped up and unserious software. It's exhausting. aftermath.site/ai-slop-hobbie...

weird thing is i might not have said this even 5-6 years ago, but the current shit times we're living through has me appreciating the boundless joy and optimism of the dreamcast era in particular more than ever.

Went to Target today and it's kind of insane how drastically they changed the back of the stores to accommodate for cards and blindboxes. Rows upon rows of them. Everything is just collabs and "drops" now

the political part aside, it seems like a pretty big problem that a social media company controlled by a conglomerate that includes two Hollywood Studios is banning an account dedicated to a film from one of its competitors!

how could you forget the follow-up to this?

Employers worldwide are pulling back on AI as they navigate a flood of errors and low-quality work that sap employee time, raise privacy and security risks, and drive up costs

the big thing the rise of LLMs has revealed to me is that there is a not insignificant chunk of the population that considers cognition itself to be a frustrating and unnecessary burden

Motherfucker what deal? They were invaded, there's no fucking deal except "fuck off back to Mordor."

3D graphics were an experiment we ran for a few decades, the study period for which has now concluded. Thank you for your participation. We will be returning to 2D pixel art only starting January 2027.

Have you ever been so mad that you rebuild a whole ass press release image from some random fuckin' AI grift company?

Having long been aware of those tech bros who read my work as utopian porn, where they’ve taken that doesn’t exactly surprise me.
