My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

Go see Wildwood. Seriously, don’t wait—go see Wildwood. What a piece of art. The love for the manual craft, for story that doesn’t hold back, for filmmaking that is not here to answer to stockholders, it weaves all through it. Incredible stuff.

I do not want it in my code Nor to wait for slop to load As programs become worse and worse I scream and cry and yell and curse I do not want AI for games Nor sites, nor apps; it’s all the same For these need time and care and thought And AI has none, it does not

I do not want it in my book On in the recipes I cook I do not want it in my art Not even just a sketch to start Not for emails day or night Nor searches that aren't even right I do not want your AI slop I need you all to fucking stop.

So wildwood is an amazing achievement in so many ways. Within a few minutes your brain - even going in knowing it’s stop-motion - forgets and assumes it’s just 3D animation. It doesn’t make sense. It’s at a scope and scale that’s insane. But that’s Laika for ya. The story’s alright, cute and sweet.

I’m gonna be honest. When sci fi settings go for the ai vs non-ai cultural divide, I did not anticipate ‘the ai isn’t sentient, it’s a tool to make scams, and the people who make it cook their brains thinking it’s sentient when it’s not’ as the primary issue. Typically it’s a slavery thing.

Hey, reboosting this to say Especially you furries, go see this movie!! Some very swoonable beast folk on top of being *just incredible* in general. Go see Wildwood - you won't regret it!! ✨️

Mole doin' draws@molearts.bsky.social

GOOD LORD - GO SEE WILDWOOD!! Nobody does it like LAIKA! If that isn't a masterpiece, I don't know what is. Absolutely staggering!

Well, I don’t die in a way that matters, so the meatsack is going down.

Part of my literal job is to fly out to physical game studios to rescue and recover historical materials that might be endangered and put them in a permanent archive. @gamehistoryorg.bsky.social is a 501(c)3 publicly funded to do that, my DMs are open, and I'm free for the next couple weeks...

I love this thing that’s happening where my stomach is upset for days at a time, with extreme amounts of gas, and now dizziness, and somehow this isn’t emergent.

to me the existential threat posed by AI slop games is less "AI slop games will steal our sales" and more "the onslaught of AI slop and the exhaustion over having to second guess every new game will make people mentally check out from supporting new games at all and retreat to their backlogs"

When Grammy-winning musician Rhiannon Giddens begins playing “Old Corn Liquor,” a traditional Black American folk tune, acclaimed Chinese pipa virtuoso Wu Man recognizes similarities to Chinese pentatonic music and spontaneously joins in. The joy on their faces says it all.

remember to wear lung protection when working with furs velvets and the like 😷 they will not break down naturally in the lungs when inhaled. they are part of you now...

It’s worth pointing out, there are 1000 little scripts or spots or features that will become the domain of LLMs and vibe coding as this progresses. Shit that used to see just a hint of care and love will now be stupid crap you can do but probably will forget about in 20 seconds because it sucks.

I can’t really argue against it. These sorts of features were at best nice to have in the past. They could just as easily be forgotten about and lose priority to whatever else. Just that now their transience is built into the process. You KNOW this will rot, it will ALWAYS suck. So why ever use it?
