The serious point I’m trying to make is that there’s a distinct “before” and “after” when it comes to events. Things that were inconceivable prior to an event can become obvious after. But it’s important to think about what should be obvious *before* important people are panicking.

wait wait wait wait wait the filing only covers up through Q2 2026? it only covers the token maxxing honeymoon period of "AI can code now writing code yourself is dead spend ALL the tokens nowwww!!" yeah no shit they had ridiculous revenue growth specifically through the end of that period 🙄

ahhh lmao that is a great catch

Roons tweet seems completely reckless. Not in infosec but from what I understand any hacking attempt not under procedure/contract can land you in jail. On top of this you may break stuff, which will land you in jail even longer.

"the simcluster" refers to the very active sims 3 modding community on bluesky and reddit

Politics hits different when you're an "issue" instead of a citizen

A Gaussian splat of a rose. It was rendered in blender CYCLES with the lens optics plugin: kaiwanshaban.gumroad.com/l/lens-optic.... #3dgs

bluesky is tbh a more enjoyable place for ai than twitter. lots has changed since like 6 months ago

Its forever been the wildest thing being at games conferences -especially the largest ones- and the talk schedule is like - creating sincere art from playful naivete - balancing passion and health - how to dodge parental controls when monetizing toddlers - regrets from my 1st commercial codebase

playing around with radiance cascades + ps1-like rendering with webgpu

I really thought this was an exaggeration I can’t believe they explicitly said it

the horrifying realization I kinda had for work is that "smart guy with bad office skills" is a position that got absolutely kneecapped by LLMs, if you don't get good at office work you're out. Which for ADHD I'm picking the LLMs, they're a legitimate disability aid.

So beautiful!

"I've come to the conclusion that the only way to combat the four year headstart we've given the fascists in shaping and controlling this technology is to continue giving them totally unopposed control over how it is used and designed."

Zadie Smith tells Dua Lipa inequality has made culture clashes feel ‘existential’

Who was 3d printing human-looking teeth and painting it with glow-in-the-dark paint in preparation for pumpkin carving? This guy.

ABBOTT: Japanese developers today have unique names, like FromSoftware COSTELLO: From what ABBOTT: FromSoftware COSTELLO: I thought you said it was from Japan ABBOTT: It is COSTELLO: But what's the name of the developer ABBOTT: FromSoftware COSTELLO: The Software's From Japan, though ABBOTT: Yes

it continues to be funny to me when i hear people go "but obviously these dsa types just want to destroy the market and implement stalinism" while, meanwhile, they are actually *more* pro-market than the mainline democrat incumbents they're challenging

lmfao brutal

After learning from @jimmunroe.net at last night's Video Game Arts Appreciation Night that its brutalist architecture was the inspiration for the level design in @metanetsoftware.com's game "n", I can't look at Robarts Library / "Fort Book" the same way…

the tv shows are honeslty pretty insane overall

it's kinda fun to think about how models will be evaluated on "how much they encourage token spend" as a proxy for "people are using it and find it useful" a metric that shoots up if more people are pushed into addictive usage, or schizotypal like obsessive behaviour, as we saw with gpt-4o

yeah it's seemingly hard to internalize how expensive programmers are. chillsky, a whole ass bsky client that you can use, cost me ~a dollar of my subscription, but would have been ~$100 at api rates but it would have cost ~$10,000 as contract work (a cheap senior engineer-month)

Because eMudhra is in the news, I am sharing a screenie of a footer of an email I once received from them in reply to my query about my PAN card (a government-issue tax identity and card).

congrats we invented a doctor that actually listens to you

I think it's odd to live in a time where we're just past the peak of everything. In less then two decades, billionaires have stripped all progress, turned to warmongering, and ensured we will all suffer for their pissing contest. That said, luggage wheels are great.

i try not to be so pessimist but if today ends with adult links being valid, countdown to relitigation in less than a year as payment processors become A Thing Around Here

Oh we realized decades ago and warned everyone. The ruling class just didn't, and still doesn't, want to pay for non-slop software.

Love how bad the subtitles are here
