#GVerse Um. WTF???

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy: "Pilots need to stop depending on air traffic controllers. They need to suck it up and go with their gut feelings."

This is the stupidest and most dangerous administration in history.

"i asked grok" "i asked chatgpt" yeah well i asked carl sagan and he said the greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance but the illusion of knowledge 🧪

lol

I really love this Vincent Van Gogh quote:

"To do good work one must eat well, be well housed, have one's fling from time to time, smoke one's pipe, and drink one's coffee in peace."

No romanticizing the starving artist. Van Gogh said UBI all the way.

Back in my day, AI used to stand for Adobe Illustrator! And we hated that, too!

Shit so sloppy I feel like I gotta fight Ilberd Feare on top of it

as this goes on while i grow older, i am very much feeling like a creature of another time. obviously things have always been more or less this way my entire life but as the last vestiges of truth, shared obligations, a loose moral framework get sheared away, i feel increasingly out of place

"But when the team looked at the employees’ actual work output, they found that the developers had completed tasks 20% slower when using AI than when working without it. Researchers were stunned. “No one expected that outcome. We didn’t even really consider a slowdown as a possibility.”

New Work by Gary Larson | TheFarSide.com Get an exclusive look at brand new cartoons and artwork from cartoonist Gary Larson, creator of the iconic comic strip The Far Side®.

It's kinda cool that Gary Larson is doing new cartoons because he picked up a digital tablet, taught himself how to use it, and it made him love drawing again.

#NoKings Miami!

Legendary Final Fantasy Composer Nobuo Uematsu says he’s never used generative AI, and never will.

"I think it still feels more rewarding to go through the hardships of creating something myself."

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

Just a reminder, the layoffs in govt were just done out of spite, not necessity

In Yoshi's Island, a cave background sparkles, but only when Yoshi moves. This is achieved in an inventive way by making many 1-pixel "pinholes" in the background through which a field of stars is visible. The parallax motion shows the stars intermittently, creating sparkles.

just a reminder that bandcamp friday is tomorrow & streaming services are interrupting music streams with ai generated shit, flooding the database with artists that don't exist in any way other than profiting the platform owners

so instead of paying a monthly fee, buy an album or two each month ok

Gonna shout out this thread for all the fellow Silksong enjoyers complaining about the difficulty. #gitgud

start organizing your tech workplace now. you and your coworkers will not only be able to bargain over the terms of severance with a recognized union, you will have built a structure that allows you to take care of each other when the worst happens. because it will.

Man. it was worth the wait.

I can’t think of any other time in modern video-game history that a game as highly anticipated as Silksong has arrived with no early reviews, impressions, leaks, guides, videos, or even forum teases.

Soon, everyone will be playing Silksong for the first time. It’s unprecedented and kinda beautiful

I think the silver lining to today is ironmouse has raised over $200000 for the Immune Deficiency Foundation in just the last 5 hours ❤️

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

It's great that FFXIV is square enix's golden goose and that it means they can fund other projects

I just wish they'd actually feed the goose too
