Drake’s lawsuit against UMG over Kendrick Lamar’s ‘Not Like Us" has been dismissed

"The Court concludes that the allegedly defamatory statements in ‘Not Like Us’ are nonactionable opinion, the motion to dismiss is granted”

They also noted that the song had a ‘catchy beat and propulsive baseline’

Finally: AI cannot do your job, but an AI salesman can 100% convince your boss to fire you and replace you with an AI that can't do your job, and when the bubble bursts, the money-hemorrhaging "foundation models" will be shut off and we'll lose the AI that can't do your job, and you will be long gone, retrained or retired or "discouraged" and out of the labor market, and no one will do your job. AI is the asbestos we are shoveling into the walls of our society and our descendants will be digging it out for generations:

This whole section really.

Oh yeah, I still know how to cook. New tutorial video on autopilot systems coming eventually.

This landing was done entirely by the autopilot. It's also capable of takeoff and navigation, but landing is the most complex mode.

The whole thing is driven by like 10 PID controllers.

Frustrated little dude gripping a pencil saying “how do I pack this down into something I can actually share?” While swirling rainbows labeled “INFINITE POTENTIAL” float around them. Little dude frowns at a tiny grey box, exclaiming “all that work for THIS?!” Little dude shoves the grey box into another little guy’s hands; Frowning, stomping off, and saying “Here you go, I made this, it sucks.” Second little dude cracks open the box, swirling rainbows project out onto their face. Second little dude stares in awe at all the swirling rainbows now floating around them.

Sometimes we’re unsatisfied with a thing we made because when it only existed in our head, we saw all the things it could have been and when it’s done we know all the things that it isn’t, but we can’t see the way it expands into a million new things when someone else unpacks it in their head. 🖊️🦑

Its been a pretty great summer... damn...

The Valkyrie in Nova Squadron is an attacker all-star. Capable of even dismantling formations of warships, it is equally effective in... street to street combat? Avoid getting out flanked by flying away. #NovaSquadron #indiegame #flightsim

The material has no textures... It's just math... Lots and lots of math.

The flying in ZAKON by Mishanya can get hectic during urban combat against towering monsters. Knowing when to stay engaged to cause damage and when to fly evasively is a vital balance. #flightsim #indiegame

my mom taught me there's two kinds of businesses: hot dog stands and art galleries

- hot dog stands protect territory and keep competition off their turf
- art galleries benefit from more adjacent art galleries, cluster together to amplify reach/support

youre an art gallery, not a hot dog stand

Me: This is so perfect… Wait a second!

[pulls off her face to reveal American philosopher Robert Nozick]

Nozick: “Hahaha, I tricked you into being happy! It’s all a simulation!”
