Found out Dark Souls was narrated by Malaysia's Pik-Sen Lim ๆž—็ขง็ฌ™ (British citizen).

In the 60's she was torch bearing fire maiden for the Rye Fawks bonfire festival.

Backers are asked to believe that OpenAI is the most responsible guardian of The Dangerous Majick, while also understanding that the urgency of Al's arms race frees it from all obligation to act responsibly. Burning cash is foundational to its business. There's no time to sandbox new products or abide by laws when liquidity is only ever measured in months. The looming threat of insolvency is what propels OpenAI forward.
Does value-for-money get a look in? We know very little about OpenAI's day-to-day operating costs, but we've learned a little more about the day-to-day operating costs of the CEO.

Maybe it's useful to know that Altman uses a knife that's showy but incohesive and wrong for the job; he wastes huge amounts of money on olive oil that he uses recklessly; and he has an automated coffee machine that claims to save
labour while doing the exact opposite because it can't be trusted. His kitchen is a catalogue of inefficiency, incomprehension, and waste. If that's any indication of how he runs the company, insolvency cannot be considered too unrealistic a threat.

This may genuinely be one of the most devastating things I've seen about a tech CEO in the mainstream media. Amazing.

@cococucumber.bsky.social has recently (re)released Ravenlok on Steam. In case if you missed it, Ravenlok is a game directed by Malaysian director @caravandetta.bsky.social .

To me Ravenlok is like a love letter to Alice: Madness Returns with more wholesome tone to the game

1) Tightly scoped projects, with identified and specific needs
2) Everyone works part-time
3) Paying people above this rate, sometimes significantly
4) โ€ฆI donโ€™t budget in myself yet. I live off of backend, which with our stable of releases has worked out so far (but I want to eventually address)

Musk believes that people are being paid to protest Tesla because he's paying people to vote for a Wisconsin Supreme Court candidate. Every accusation is a confession.
