@psenough.bsky.social just double checking: will you accept remote entries to Inércia 2026 as well? I have a genAi demo waiting for a compo :) P.S.: inercia.partyman.cloud seems currently down
Even if you're not that interested in AI banter, the video about the 'bitter lesson' Ethan one-shot using Claude is a sight to behold.
I wrote about the thing I underestimated most about progress in AI: its ability to self-organize to accomplish tasks. Also, what that means for agents like Muse and Dots, along with a music video explaining why we keep relearning The Bitter Lesson. open.substack.com/pub/oneusefu...
The next shooting star. You've seen it here first!
The Washington Post drinking the Kool-Aid while the world realigns. "Democracy Dies in Darkness" indeed. (Via @phillipspobrien.bsky.social)
Shout outs to the guy who out of spite made a free historic stock video website for public domain content, just because the absurd fees over on GettyImages pissed him off. Best reason to kill a business model. The content is available on destockd.com and there's also a video:

This is hot news in British Columbia right now and I'm all for its simple, non rage inducing, non click-baity wholesomeness.
Pretty harsh video compression but fear not, I also got a version that renders in the browser in realtime: paralax.at/rigged/

Very good, nuanced reading, especially for the haters and fanboys.
AI: Considerations for people who make decisions. There is enormous pressure to deploy AI, and if you believe the thought leadership, you'd think that if you don't get on board NOW you'll be lost forever. Thoughts on what to do now & what things might best be postponed. berthub.eu/articles/pos...

dear imgui 1.92.9 released! github.com/ocornut/imgu... - new liveedit on/off settings and defaults - tables track topology changes - metal4 rendering backend - timestamped settings entries (for cleanup etc.) - 50+ other changes/fixes (fonts, multi-select, popups, backends etc.).
If you're updating to ImGui v1.92.9, be mindful about the changes to textual editing of live values in certain controls. In my case I was better off with the old behavior. Luckily, there's an easy way to restore this behavior both locally and centrally.
In news that surprises absolutely no one, Google is killing ad blocking on Chrome for good and continues to act in bad faith about the entire affair. protonprivacy.substack.com/p/google-is-...

What Gary Stevenson is bringing up in the UK should really be a much bigger issue all around the world. Don't expect welfare checks from the rich from any future AI windfall. www.youtube.com/watch?v=EPeP...
