Hell yeah! We're in @theverge.com

You don't need the "if" ;_;

Murmurant Games is registered! Say hello to a new narrative game studio :)

Murmuration is emergent coordination in flights of birds. It's social movements without leaders. It's narrative complexity from honestly motivated characters. It's simple game mechanics creating a living world.

But CO2 is actually dangerous. Every year people are suffocated by CO2. In 1986 Lake Nyos disaster 1700 people were killed by a CO2 eruption from the lake.

The zine jams are consistently our favourite events, bringing a quiet, quirky community to collaborate and/or co-work with physical materials. If you haven't attended before and don't know what a 'zine jam' even is - well, folk get together to assemble small experiences packaged as booklets, pamphlets, magazines, maps or anything really. They can be unique or photocopied. They can be filled with writing or drawings or collages or anything really. This February we're leaning further into that in two ways... Number one is our theme: ANALOG. Literally 'analog' means data stored in physical qualities, but it has become the antithesis of modern progress, and maybe the antidote to modern problems. Which leads to number two: we're asking participants to turn off phones during the jam.

For this you must own your IP. Do not give it away. There are people with wonderful work who own none of it and survive from gig to gig.

Braid the long tail of your work into a sustainable career.

Myth of Obsolescence!

Screenshop of a bluesky post with a wildly incorrect opinion that reads: "Finally watch Spider-verse. Huh. That was a much weaker film than the first, even ignoring the cliffhanger, which I didn't know to expect so woof nice sour note to end on. I'm not even sure if I liked that? Not that I disliked it, but compared to the first it was just content. IP slop. Bleh."

I hold my rosary tightly as rock back and forth chanting:

"People are allowed to dislike what you like. People are allowed to dislike what you like. People are allowed..."

@freelives.bsky.social you know what you need to do.

Maybe a tax on property size per inhabitant.

You have a point, though I'm unconvinced that there's a single industry/niche that can be taken as a comparison - which is sort of the promise of llms. Find information! Get advice! Research! Write essays! Talk to a fake psychologist! Meet your new best friend!

It's a trap!

Soon...

Why do you think that comparing llm usage specifically to search engine uses is the right method to gage llm uptake?

Continued..
The quoted paragraph doesn't really disuade me because it's still comparing very different things and using a modifier to do so.

I did read it, and unless I'm misunderstanding, it means that to get a number of 'searches' they had to remove all the other ways chatgpt was being used.

So arguing that yahoo gets more searches than chagpt is missing the point of the thread, which is that llms are being widely used.

Article is comparing share of 'searches' specifically - 'use of chatgpt or llms' in this conversation is obviously about their broader use.

Oh sorry - I thought you're afrikaans

Incorrect. It is clearly pronounced "Good Ou" because it is a good ou, right ouens?

Kinda rude of Dude2 to assume Dude1 can't make money posting nudes. I for one believe that a man cam do anything a woman can do. (Except endure menstrual cramps)

Exhibit B: Skype.

I just refered to the unused front door versus the default entrance door as the 'door jure' and 'door facto' so I can confirm I still have my sense of humor.

brass solidarity band performing “stand by me” in the streets of whittier next to alex pretti’s memorial. the crowd started chanting “the people united will never be defeated” so they incorporated it into the song. i love minneapolis

Article is dated 16th January.

A gloriously dumb take from a He-man review. At first I thought it was specifically about scifi-fantasy like Battlestar or Lexx or Star Wars... but by including Alien Earth they have crossed into absurdity.

If it's not being adopted then it's not useful. It's been forced into absolutely everything; there is no one who hasn't had an opportunity to test AI tools.

Ai sucks but this is good actually.

It's so intense - I'm sorry man.

Screencapture of a stock image titled "radiology and x-ray image of head, generated with AI." The image seems to be a merge of spine and hips over the back of a man's head. No skull, and detailed soft tissue like ears are clear.

It used to take effort to make an image this stupid.

AI generated cartoon of diverse women holding signs. Centred is the most telling artifact: a three armed woman whose lower half seems partly in a wheelchair.

Screen cap of the account that posted the AI. It reads "in pro create you can draw things like this pretty easy, sad that the power of AI is now making people doubt hand made creations. But understandable and you're entitled to your opinions"

It's the lying that really grates my carrot. The ig account is about "conscious sustainable feminist" products.
Added irony, @procreate.com is anti-genAI as far as I know.
