“It is important to consider that ChatGPT and other AI systems can generate scientific inaccuracies, lack the ability to critically discuss results, and ultimately fuel the spread of misinformation," the study authors write.

If I had nothing else to do with my life and no needs or wants, I would be screaming this forever to everyone.

Monopoly was a warning. It is a cautionary tale, an anticapitalist fable warning us against landlords and the pernicious effects of real property in particular.

It is 27 degrees C at 1am and this is the BEGINNING

Have just been informed they've extended the heat warning to next week.
This is the sixth heat warning this year.
At this point it's just the mf temperature stop lying to yourselves to pretend that AC isn't just as essential in this day and age as heat is.

I have thought about this frequently, since. I have thought about this for a lot of different, varied situations, from the personal to the world politics.

I think about this mentality often.

I think about how some will not call out a wrong, because they do not want others to call out theirs.

There are few areas of modern enshittification that rankle me as much as how airline baggage policies have resulted in delays from this stupid shell game on every single flight.

I am genuinely terrified everyone will forget, or has already forgotten, how different people were 15-20 years ago. Since then, all technological innovation has worked toward the goal of sapping human attention as a commodity and society is far worse for it.

It bears reiterating, but the in-replicable combination of the pandemic quarantine, the major player exodus from WoW, and the culmination of a ~10 year long story produced sub numbers for Endwalker that shouldn’t be used as a standard or measure of an expansion’s quality.

Somebody on LinkedIn said what we're all thinking.

A society that has scorned education for what it is—which is an investment in the generative value of human knowledge—and turned it into a purely transactional value, and only to the degree that it can create profits for corporations who are simultaneously trying to solve for human labor entirely.

Your job is not your worth. Your bank account is not your worth. Capitalistic society wants to quantify each individual’s value. But capitalism also thought for a brief window of time that pictures of disengaged monkeys were worth millions. Capitalism is dumb as shit. Don’t let it try to define you.

If you're denying a transgender woman employment because you're afraid it might be seen as a political statement

a) our existence is not political
b) congrats, you're now part of the problem that perpetuates that myth

the most common experience of being an artist in any capacity is doing a lot of work seriously and rigorously for years and learning to be ok with it not finding an audience. this is like the inverse of that in every way

The eagle-eyed among you may have noticed my little easter egg in these pictures. If you saw it, congratulations!

For those still unsure -- only one of these pictures is actually of the Scottish capital, Edinburgh. The other three are all from Bloodborne.

YouTube video by PlayFrame How I made Elden Ring sound like a Zelda game

Earlier this year, I did something very silly and reconstructed a full hour of Elden Ring gameplay audio using sounds from N64 Zelda games. By hand.

It took a long time

Here's a behind-the-scenes breakdown of the process:
