Ultimately right now in video games I feel surrounded by people who are worried, all the time, about long-term unemployment and ensuing social (or actual) death and so if you seem very invested in coming up with fun uses for LLMs in games I find you despicable.

Asked Claude Cowork organize my wife's desktop, it stated doing it, asked for a permission to delete temp office files, I granted it, and then it goes "ooops"
Turns out it tried renaming and accidentally deleted a folder with all of the photos my wife made on her camera for the last 15 years. All photos of kids, their illustrations, friends' weddings, travel, everything.
It's not in trash, it was done via terminal It's not in iCloud, it already synced the new file structure.
She didn't have Time Machine.
Disc recovery tools can't see anything.
I called Apple and they pointed me to a feature in iCloud allowing to retrieve files that were saved before but are no longer on iCloud Drive (they keep them for 30 days).
I'm now watching it load tens of thousands of files. I nearly had a heart attack.

"rich dipshit owner doesn't understand the industry he's bought into and clumsily destroys what made it good" feels less like a narrative unique to the washington post and more like the music that's been playing in the background of all our lives for at least 40 years

๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡บ In 1960, the State Dept compiled a report concluding the Cuban revolution was too popular to overthrow, so they should "den[y] money and supplies to Cuba, to decrease monetary and real wages, to bring about hunger, desperation, and overthrow of government."

66 years of genocidal strategy.

As Black History Month begins, we honor the generations of Black New Yorkers who built this city into the โ€œgorgeous mosaicโ€ we call home.

Today, we reflect on the words of Mayor David Dinkins: our cityโ€™s first Black mayor (and a democratic socialist!).

Engels to Marx in an 1869 letter: The paederasts are beginning to count themselves, and discover that they are a power in the state. Only organisation was lacking, but according to this source it apparently already exists in secret.

Poor coverage of the Mangione trial aside, I do think there's a nonzero chance he gets as little as 20 years based on how badly things were botched during his arrested and on social media by Pam Bondi and Jeanine Pirro.

It turns out a government of podcasters and TV hosts is bad.
