Article du site du Figaro titré "La K-pop, un phénomène mondial qui peine à convaincre en France"

Le Figaro qui confirme ne jamais avoir adressé la parole à une personne de moins de 30 ans

Conférence de presse officielle, au pupitre est inscrit « réforme des retraites ». Un ministre à l’allure de responsable RH énonce : « Chers concitoyens, vous travaillerez désormais jusqu’à 102 ans… » Réactions indignées dans la salle : « Quoi ?? 102 ans ?! » Un conseiller souffle un mot à l’oreille du ministre-RH. Celui-ci enchaîne dans un sourire narquois : « Ah oui et pour chaque année non-cotisée on vous tranchera un orteil !! » Hurlements outrés du public : « Mais ça va pas ?!! On se laissera pas faire ! » Plus tard, plan large dans le bureau du ministre, le ministre et son conseiller écoutent les infos : « Camouflet pour l’exécutif : la clause orteil est finalement retoquée et la réforme passe sans… » Ils exultent : « Haha, à chaque fois… » [fin]

la clause orteil

A tweet by "rohit" discusses the application of AI in geopolitics, specifically focusing on tariffs, and includes a table comparing tariff rates between China and the US.

Guess where they got their weird trade deficit math from?

Today on Digital Foundry, John reviews the last Wii U to Switch port we'll see - and it's excellent. Here's our review of Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition. youtu.be/x6miwExra3o

"Also, Switch games should be judged only on what the Switch hardware can do, NOT, on what PC or PS5 hardware or any other hypothetical hardware can. And since I mentioned Zelda, let's talk about the silent avatar. Not all modern games put voices in the avatars, journalists are fine with Zelda and Baldur gates 3 doing silent avatar, so it comes to reason one should be fine with a silent avatar in XDE as well. On Story and open world structure, remember that in Zelda TOTK, if you do the tear of the dragon sidequest early you basically breaks the story, because then you are forced to watch characters making a bunch of dump questions or statements regarding Princess Zelda, and cannot do anything about because link, who is supposed to be you in the world, is not given an option to tell them what he/we already figured out eons ago, and yet many journalists call that game an open world masterpiece. TOTK story is also full of inconsistencies regarding the events of BOTW, its direct prequel. Yet many fully ignored that. So I very much hope that, for consistency sake, I will not see some journalists making a big deal of the Avatar in X not having much agency in the (main) story or about story quality. Would be big double standards, after all. Furthermore, most Fromsoftware games that reviewers love to praise to the heavens and back demands the player to search themselves for the story, whether by NPCs dialogues, environment or item descriptions, otherwise there is almost no story to be seen, so one you expect that Xenoblade X also requiring player to engage themselves with the world, NPCs and sidequests (normal and affinity missions specifically) is not a problem at all, on contrary, it is a great feature, right?" And more that won't fit.

Some rando emailed me with the subject "Tips for upcoming review!" and it is 1000 words telling me how to review Xenoblade X Remastered. I am very tempted to reply to this "You are not my editor. Go away."

Don't do this.

It isn't normal, cute, or appreciated.

Seems the new Death Stranding trailer has brought the 'Kojima is too weird and needs an editor to cut his wackier ideas' crowd.

No, fuck that. He's basically the one guy in the ENTIRE INDUSTRY that gets to be weird at high budgets.

We need more Kojimas. Dozens! Not hammering down the one we have.

This make me want to replay Octodad.

I kid you not, @itch.io has been taken down by Funko of "Funko Pop" because they use some trash "AI Powered" Brand Protection Software called Brand Shield that created some bogus Phishing report to our registrar, iwantmyname, who ignored our response and just disabled the domain

Oh geez, another Horizon remast...wait...

Extrait d'article en anglais: [...] That's, of course, still a big "if". MIT Technology Review reached out to several AI companies, such as Midjourney and Stability AI, which did not reply to requests for comment. A spokesperson for OpenAI, meanwhile, did not confirm any details about encountering data poison but said the company takes the safety of its products seriously and is continually improving its safety measures: "We are always working on how we can make our systems more robust against this type of abuse"

La meuf de Midjourney qui nous explique tranquillou que protéger notre boulot contre leurs IA de merde est "une agression / un abus". 👌
