it's getting to be every day now that I think about the timeline we just barely missed where Elon Musk got himself and Peter Thiel killed while speeding in his uninsured sports car

This is what gaming is all about

from reddit r/ExperiencedDevs • 21h ago Tech-Cowboy An AI CEO finally said something honest (Meta Dax Raad from anoma.ly might be the only CEO speaking honestly about Al right now. His most recent take: "everyone's talking about their teams like they were at the peak of efficiency and bottlenecked by ability to produce code here's what things actually look like - your org rarely has good ideas. ideas being expensive to implement was actually helping - majority of workers have no reason to be super motivated, they want to do their 9-5 and get back to their life - they're not using Al to be 10x more effective they're using it to churn out their tasks with less energy spend - the 2 people on your team that actually tried are now flattened by the slop code everyone is producing, they will quit soon - even when you produce work faster you're still bottlenecked by bureaucracy and the dozen other realities of shipping something real - your CFO is like what do you mean each engineer now costs $2000 extra per month in LLM bills"

someone in AI fucked up and actually told the truth

a-ha comic book

guys with wrenches

singer being hit with wrenches

dead body

The plot of the comic book "A-ha", which a woman reads as part of the music video for "Take on Me" by the band A-ha, is that guys show up and beat the singer from the band A-ha to death with wrenches. That's what's inside the comic book. That's how it ends.

Horrible thought: Resistlibs lining up to join the FBI, CBP, ICE etc when the Dems come back to power, to heroically Change The System From Within

anyone who thinks you can sweep homeless encampments "nonviolently" is lying to themselves and to the rest of us in turn. it is *impossible* to strip the violence from what is an act of violence in itself in any sense. no amount of performative pretense will change the underlying truth of the action

Immigrants can teach us how to fight dictators:

"Myrla Baldonado became one of the “forced disappearances” under Philippine dictator Ferdinand Marcos Sr., in 1983. She was kidnapped by state agents, swept away to a secret location, tortured, and then imprisoned for two years."

And yet:

doodlemancy @doodlemancy on cohost (rip): "the script at this point is just company: we're going to do something really extremely bad for our customers and possibly even people who aren't our customers. we think this is good an enormous, furious internet mob: we hate this company: we'd like to clarify our intentions. just to be clear: we're doing the same thing but we'd like you to hate it a little less now"

So Portland bans the carrying of firearms in City Hall. Then a peaceful protest spooks one councilor and now they're advocating to allow JUST councilors to open carry, even though the main advocate for this rule admits they don't know how to use a gun and just want it on their body as a totem.

ps5 is our most juiceless console yet and we just fired everyone making games for it. we can't wait for you to see what's in store for the ps6

I really do not want to die in the billionaire-induced climate war mass genocide

I don't know. I just don't think corporations can make real video games anymore.

The year is 2043. President Moggthot just announced a successful raid by Literal Seal Team Six on the submerged remnants of Mar A Lago, capturing the cocaine-desiccated husks of the Trump children and finally bringing closure to “The Bugs Bunny War.”

Trillions of US dollars remain in Saudi banks.

“Make bad game? Fired. Make good game? Fired. Make incredibly successful game? Believe it or not, also fired.” Original source of meme is from Parks and Recreation.

the video game industry is a mess

I understand hating video game culture, because it sucks, but play is a neutral act. Humans love to play and it’s good for you.
