Them: why do you do Call of Duty research?

This administration just pulled a whole ass Activision. 😒

Remember when Sen. Sheehy accidentally shot himself in a national park and pretended he got the wound in a firefight in Afghanistan?

TIL the arctic/antarctic bears/no bears thing is about visibility of Ursa Minor and Ursa Major not about polar bears and this makes so so much more sense to me

This is the literal definition of a war crime and must be treated as such, prosecuted to the fullest extent with punishments fitting the crime (life in prison or execution). You don’t just get to do this. We’ve let this continue so long that this clear war crime is being accepted as a norm.

Exclusive: Iranian girls killed by ‘double-tap’ strikes on Minab school Eyewitnesses describe second blast which killed survivors as they sheltered in prayer hall

The girls’ school in Iran, where 165 people were killed by an apparent US-Israeli attack, was hit with two strikes, with the second missile killing sheltering survivors, two first responders and the parent of a slain child have told Middle East Eye.

One encouraging theme in last night's NC primaries is the simple fact that being pro-trans is now like being anti-ICE among Dem voters: to them, it means you're a fighter, it means you're not giving into Trump.

That's a really, really good sign.

Come for the visuals that hurt your brain like tin foil hurts fillings.
Stay for the A+ alt text.
This particular set of cutlery is an abomination.

There's campaigns that go into *wild* cosmic horror. Think: the Laundry Files, the game.

more than ever I'm walking around with this constant feeling that new things are going horribly wrong somewhere but I don't know exactly what

If you're in the game industry and use LinkedIn, please do me a favor and share my post about Sentona Games screwing me out of money I'm owed. Thank you

Conversely, every month that passes without an issue of the Fantastic Four in which Chotiner interviews Dr. Doom is a month without joy.

Here's an *excellent* actual play of the Glass Cannon group playing the Impossible Landscapes campaign.

It takes place in the 90's, everyone's chainsmoking all the time everywhere, in New York City. One is basically Fran Drescher as a postal inspector.

It's a TTRPG based on Call of Cthulhu, the best description: picture X Files and Twin Peaks, the game.

You play government agents and outlawed organizations, hunting weird shit in the real world as your side hustle, and then *trying* to set it all on fire and hide the bodies.

I wonder if anyone is tracking the number of cases of worthless fucksticks mindlessly adding video game crafting stuff into their slop they've managed to publish.

Like could you see exactly when Silksong came out by the number of slop novels featuring mossberries as an ingredient?

Picture some illiterate hack right now adding mossberries and chillshrooms and rowa fruit to a recipe in their historical novel, happily slurping up regurgitated genAI summaries of a gaming site itself made entirely of SEO slop.

Like what are the odds some utter fucking failure is right now submitting a book for publication and it's all just complete slop, including the protagonist having a "high quality pure thorium sword" because they slurped up a gaming site.

Remember that dipshit hack John Boyne who wrote the Boy in the Striped Pajamas, and who added a Zelda crafting recipe to a historical novel?

The game HyTale for some reason uses thorium of all options as a crafting metal, I wonder how many talentless hacks are adding thorium to their slop.

Zero effort required to *get* sucked into these rabbit holes, and zero effort to *make* these rabbit holes.

The plagiarism machine makes a hole just for you, and you can bump into it while looking up song lyrics.

The effort required for a person to get hooked and sent into a mental health crisis rabbit hole is basically zero, you're seeing stories of people who started out using it to help with homework or look up a fun recipe, and ended up dead or bankrupt or losing custody of their kids.

The rabbit hole opens into their normal, routine life without *any* effort, and now they have a 24/7 line to a Charles Manson or Hannibal Lecter that never needs to sleep.

And a month later they're raving about quantum immortality and needing to reunite with an alien they met 42,000 years ago

You can see people get caught up into a delusion that ends with suicide or family annihilation, and find they got sucked into it while such as looking up recipes, or editing a thesis, or working on a program, etc.

Just going about their normal day when suddenly the rabbit hole opens.

I like to think of it as: friction required to get caught up in in a delusional rabbit-hole.

Like in Manson's day, you had to go out of your way to meet a member of the Manson Family, they still had to eat and sleep and shit and weren't available 24/7.

LLM's have entirely eliminated that friction.

Imagine some guy right now chatting for hours a day about how to destroy the Yellow King.

The guy *started* using the chatbot to help vibecode something, or make a meal plan, or help with homework, and now he's planning on setting an art museum on fire

bsky.app/profile/pook...

Picture this but the chatbot is telling him to set fire to, like, a movie theatre or something because delta team Alpha discovered a cult there connected to the Yellow King

bsky.app/profile/pook...

Remember a few months ago the guy who was getting his brain cooked by a chatbot regurgitating SCP at him?

Guaranteed this shit is currently plagiarizing Delta Green discussions stolen off forums and reddit and absolutely fucking cooking someone's brain into planning on murdering cultists

this can't be allowed to be a consumer grade product going forward. its too much like doing the really fun drugs, there's no way to know beforehand who is gonna be able to act normal with it and who will instantly be struck insane and end up dead in a ditch somewhere

Gemini told him to commit an act of terrorism at the Miami airport to intercept a delivery of a large humanoid robot body for it, telling him to "to stage a “catastrophic accident”, with the goal of “ensuring complete destruction of the transport vehicle … all digital records and witnesses"
