A tumblr post from orteil42 (cookie clicker dev) that says: am i losing the drive to create things for an increasingly alien and hostile world whose mounting taste for fascism feels like a cold metal vise around my skull or am i just lazy and unmedicated and looking for excuses

Sorry for the lack of activity it’s literally just this

Again, leaders of other countries don’t talk this way. The glee with which our current leaders talk about killing people is not normal, and nor is their lack of concern for who exactly we’re killing. American bombs incinerated 100 kids in Minab. Were those the “right people”?

Exhausted Nation Lacks Strength To Form Opinion On Donald Glover Being Voice Of Yoshi WASHINGTON—Claiming their mind was solely occupied by the hope of curling up in a ball and sleeping as long as they were allowed, the entire U.S. populace told reporters Thursday they lacked the stren...

“At some point, in ideal conditions, maybe I would be able to cobble together some feelings about Donald Glover playing a digital dinosaur, but right now I’m tired—very, very tired,” said Wisconsin resident Gina Logan

Not enough people talking about how trump is just throwing around "Sussy" as a prejorative. Yet another piece of evidence for my Baron Is Wearing Donald Trump's Hollowed Out Skin theory.

This is where the real humiliation kink comes in. He asked. They lied out of vanity and we get to see how pathetic they all are.

It actually rules to watch LLM centrism develop in real time. "Ok yes, tech bros are taking things way too far but LLM skeptics are just as silly, surely we can all agree that it's a transformative new technology and we all need to get onboard" and like, bro. Bro. We know who's side you're really on

Recently been informed that you can "play" games instead of just writing them and buying them? Excited to explore this bold new space.

A black and white line drawing. The image shows a giant snake with a swastika for an eye. The snake is being killed by two medieval style knights, there are three downward facing arrows piercing the snakes neck. The caption reads: Teamwork.

Always a good day to make new friends

Yes. Anthropic has made $5bn in its entire existence up until March. It also spent $10bn on compute. It's raised $60bn (with $30bn of that arriving Feb 12), which suggests other costs - or prepayments/deposits for compute are brutal

PANEL 1: A FRIEND showing MATTIE a big canvas.
FRIEND: Hey check out this art i bought. I think it's incredible.
MATTIE: Uhh. What is it?

PANEL 2: reverse shot, you can see it's just an enormous black dot on a canvas.
FRIEND: It's the aggregate of all human creative output, in the totality of recorded history, averaged out and then printed on this canvas!

PANEL 3: Shot from panel 1. MATTIE just kind of stares at the friend.
FRIEND: I can see you think I'm stupid. Would an IDIOT spend 14 billion dollars on it? Hmm?
FRIEND: Would an IDIOT have been MOVED TO TEARS by this?

PANEL 4: Same shot, two people walk by, looking amazed.
P1: Wow, the computers are getting so good! 
P2: We'll be replaced any day now!

This is an important fact that everyone should know: Real rednecks historically were and should be antiestablishment socialists who hate cops. This guy explains it more brilliantly than I ever could

I know I don't have a lot of followers, but does anyone have any webtoys or toy-like web-based tools they like?

I'm thinking stuff like:

Forget-Me-Not<R by ERYNGI DUNGEON SICKNESS

I know about this game only because I read a blog post about how forget-me-not (eryngi.itch.io/forget-me-no...) was inspired by it, but I can't find the blog post now.

How Pixar’s Open Sexism Ruined My Dream Job (Guest Column) A former Pixar employee writes that after John Lasseter's departure, the company still has a lot of work to do to fix its sexist culture.

If you're wondering how bad things were at Pixar for women, the answer is pretty horrifyingly bad.

An anti-gender manifesto.

For International Women's Day, I, a female-presenting tranny dyke, am asserting certain things. I am beseeching people to stop saying that women would end all wars if they were in charge. That women are not violent.

There are lots of more serious reasons to hate Instagram and other social media sites, but I on top of those I also hate how idea theft has just become just completely normalized. Like it’s not even framed as theft, it’s just part of the culture. (1/X)

We get a better look at the graphic in "The Making of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine". All the text is fully legible there, confirming that the creature on the bottom right is indeed the Denebian slime devil, making the creature's appearance canon. 6/7

A page with various charts showing fantasy loot. 2 pig men illustrations are on there too

Threw together a loot chart for my creature zine because felt it needed something at the end. Like, the creatures gotta drop something when killed, right?
