Update: their PR manager wrote me back and said that my position on AI was wrong and called me unprofessional for commenting on the game development credentials (or lack thereof) of their board and CEO

You can test new tech ideas using the Seinfeld Test

Would the product eliminate the plot of an episode? (Google maps, cell phones, paypal, battery packs)

Good tech.

Would the product inspire new Seinfeld plots? (NFTs, AI chatbots, crypto currency, blindboxes, metaverse land sales)

Bad tech.

Fifth #EdJam26 progress! The jam is now over but @m-enderbug.bsky.social and I managed to get a quite complicated game working!

Dissimulation (yes I see it) is a rule discovery, dungeon crawler puzzle game played with a Launchpad Pro MK3.

Here is the start being played by the lovely Ewan!

While I am 100% behind you on this and I am certain things haven't changed since then, it is worth pointing out that this article is from 2018, and isn't specifically referencing current events (although as I say, it would surprise me more if they WEREN'T doing that shit now)

I have this problem with my brother as well. Every time he comes out with some utterly deranged nonsense, I just can't find a good way to argue with him, because it's just so obviously insane...

Is this about the official government poster featuring RFK as a bond villain? Because holy shit I've never seen a more unserious group of people in a more serious position in my life.

Every time I something written by the Cheeto in Chief, I doubt an adult human wrote that in earnest. Yet, every single time, it's been true. Cannot believe this man is running the largest military in the world...

The imagery and creativity in the scripts for both The Thick of It and In The Loop is truly incredible. Armando Iannucci is a genius.

It's so unbelievably thin. One person sacked for saying "I haven't heard anything like that"??? Surely won't stand, but I have little faith in the system...

using chatgpt and other ai writing tools makes you unhireable. here’s why AI isn’t just pie in the sky, it’s a cow pie in the sky.

I hate AI almost as much as I hate ICE. I write about stuff on my reader-supported blog, and this one's been getting shared around again lately, so I figured, hey, I've got a really big $350 doctor's visit cost coming up.

Rain at 10, hail at 12, little bit of haar coming in at around 2pm, a brief respite of sunshine to burn it away & then gale force winds around dinner time. A typical Friday.

Italian parents raising a kid in France have a French kid, Italian parents raising a kid in New York have an Italian kid.

South Asian immigrants make a dish in the UK, Europeans say it's British, Americans say it's South Asian.

I think that it comes from the same place the "Italian-American" arguments come from. In the US, people seem to think purely in terms of heritage, whereas in Europe, it's much more about upbringing.
