A pixilated dragon breaths pail green fire towards a figure, blocking the flames with a shield. In pink it reads "Diabaig - conornally"

Release day! Here is Diabaig, a traditional #ascii #roguelike.

conornally.itch.io/diabaig

Descend through #procedural floors facing increasing adversity and creatures to defeat the dragon at the bottom. Make your way back out with only the resources you find along the way.

Iโ€™ve just released a game about representation, mimesis, and escape. You load an image from your computer and it converts it to an ascii dungeon for you to try and escape.

Vale John Laws.

Back in 1993 there was no fucking around. Prime Minister Paul Keating went into the studio and told the listeners directly what was happening on the Mabo decision. PMs can't do that these days. #auspol

Can AI agents coordinate influence campaigns without human guidance? And how does coordination arise among AI agents? In our latest research, we simulate LLM-powered AI agents acting like users on an online platform, some benign, some running an influence operation

Ed Zitron Gets Paid to Love AI. He Also Gets Paid to Hate AI Heโ€™s one of the loudest voices of the AI hatersโ€”even as he does PR for AI companies. Either way, Ed Zitron has your attention.

Who the fuck is this dude who rolled in saying what women researchers have been saying for years? He came on my thread here once to tell me I was wrong about something โ€” I wasnโ€™t. I responded, he said nothing, and disappeared. @alexhanna.bsky.social @safiyanoble.bsky.social

They want to hammer the truth away from mind-independent correspondence to reality, towards an ideological version of truth that lacks any internally consistent norms or rules beyond the unblinking drive for more power and capital

"My son - is he alive?"

A Russian KAB struck a residential building in Kostiantynivka, Donetsk region, leaving the family trapped under debris. Ukrainian Warriors from the Khyzhak and Azov Brigades pulled a woman from the rubble. Unfortunately, her son did not survive.

Itโ€™s so important that we maintain a clear compass during these times: this is an immoral, inhuman way to address complex security issues. Itโ€™s not normal and it should not be the new norm. Human life is precious and people deserve a fair trial and transparent, accountable processes. Not #JudgeDredd

What distinguishes legitimate military action from extrajudicial killing (read: cold-blooded murder) is usually: clear legal authority, genuine combatant status of targets, proportionality, and accountability mechanisms. None of that appears to be the case here. #StateSanctionedMurder

Imagine going out in a boat for your livelihood and fearing that you see US military coming for you, who will kill you in cold blood with no jury or chance to escape. This is not the America I know and love.
