In my personal life I have moved away from thinking of people as stupid. Instead I just think of people as "incurious," where the Doing of learning has become something they are too tired, scared, or proud to pursue. Curiosity is, I think, the greatest human virtue, the Doing of learning.

Man the pro-AI crybullies are really out in force today, huh?

Well done Brasil. The world was watching and you won. Now the rest of the world must follow suit.

I didn't realise until this exact post that there was a reason that particular scene spoke to me. Chernabog is who I still want to be. He always struck me as unloved but fundamentally kind, a creator and friend to the dark spaces of the world. Probably not the intent, but it's what I got.

Fantasia was the first movie I ever saw in the theater & I cannot overstate how utterly galvanized tiny me was by this specific vignette. I couldn’t have been more than four years old at the time and other four-year-olds would’ve been terrified of Chernabog I wanted to BE Chernabog

I can't believe he's still at it, it's been days

He should be showing all the AI assisted games he is proudly buying and playing if he thinks it doesn't matter

Looking for game devs who have been directly inspired by anything BioWare for my next video. I suspect the public likely doesn’t quite realize the extent of their influence on the industry, so I’d really like to highlight that. If you are one such game devs, pls reply to this post!

RT if you don't use AI for coding

Must be really rough out there for people actually named "Claude" right now, every time someone says their name everyone in the room's gonna have a barely perceptible flinch

Social anxiety haunted house where it's just a house party that you aren't sure if you're supposed to be there, everyone you make eye contact with asks why you're looking at them, and all the actors are laughing while you're not looking and stop as soon as you turn towards them

because it is relevant to my work, I have tried very hard to educate myself on how AI works, be fair and measured in how I evaluate it, and regularly test new tools to confirm or debunk my priors and tbh AI haters are just nailing it with less work like 99% of the time. keep at it folks

People assume that fighting the computer is what makes programming suck. They're wrong. It's what makes programming rock. You write the correct words in the correct order and, because you did it right, something magical happens and it only happens because you did it that way.

What if the Hounds of Tindalos are just normal dogs and Chalmers couldn't handle a bad trip

The other line on this is, why do people think it will stop at pornography, an already famously difficult to define category?

325gb of art and material that artists and animators weren't allowed to use in portfolios to keep themselves fed.

i do not meaningfully care about this argument but my stance remains: i refuse to generate unpaid content for elon musk the child pornographer, and to model the behavior that lets elon's algorithm show me the optimal unpaid content he wants me to see. it's interesting that you want to do that though

One of the greatest video game stories ever written is about piloting a deeply hungover, divorced, schizophrenic detective through an Estonian DnD group's strange mid-apocalyptic game world and trying to get him to dance with his partner, a closeted petrolhead. AI can never generate a Cuno.

Someone just reblogged this on tumblr with this tag and I just fucking died I've been on this shit for over a decade and it's only getting worse

"studio head" or to be more accurate studio only employee

I don't know if folks know this, but the thing Bier is describing is a felony.

Harvard just dropped a study AI productivity in software engineering and it found the average increase in productivity from using Claude code is.....zero and for exactly the reasons you'd think fion.ac/jellyfish.pdf

“You are infringing on the time and brainpower of people by pushing "your" content that little/no of your brainpower went into” is such a banger

We could solve so many problems by just imposing a rule "the statements and works produced by a chatbot are, legally, the personal statements and works of everyone with voting shares in the company controlling that chatbot."

it was smart of jacob geller to only post about what he did to his 50k followers on here instead of to his 1.5 million youtube subs or on his patreon. that way fewer people know about it and he limits the financial hit

I think it's pretty neat that one of the legit breakout indie success stories this year is a game about painstakingly designing and sewing opulent ballgowns store.steampowered.com/app/4019220/...

Seeing the ease and beauty of farm to table game development behind the bars of my industrial Jira hell.

i posted an epiphany i had about why i hate AI so much on fedi and i wanna post it here but it won't fit and i don't wanna cut it down to size so fuckit i'm just posting a screenshot

After a long day at the aquarium, the otters help tidy their toys away. Payment is made promptly and entirely in ice cubes.

Christ, Resident Evil is such a fucking good time at the movies. Funny but not insistent on it, knows how to do terror and horror. Bloody, meaty, boney, but it isn't fascinated with gore. The protagonist is radiating little brother energy in the best way.

This is, as far as I can tell, the only use of an em-dash by Reuters in its entire posting history on bsky. Their standard for this would be to either break the headline into two sentences, or use a semicolon, or a normal hyphen. The em-dash is being deliberately deployed here.

boring people should be exposed to ideas and art that make them uncomfortable only when someone becomes some sort of esoteric pervert, are they really complete to ignore the libidinal is to be half a person

Rush the stage. He's right there.

It's art that people who aren't in the space have trouble seeing as such, much like poetry, noise music, and dada
