Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeareโ€™s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

The emotions this is putting me throughโ€ฆ itโ€™s nothing, but ALSO, it could ruin my life.

I havenโ€™t played either, and Iโ€™m not going to be able to sleep until someone explains how this is even possible

Some Godot Impact and Explosion VFX.Since they're composed of multiple different parts I made a script that makes it easy to customize them.

I've honeatly poured my heart out for these
Check them out: binbun3d.itch.io/impact-vfx

there's another group of people who are constantly and viciously being murdered by police, with basically no fanfare, no attention, no sympathy, and it's folks with severe mental illness. i'm not chiding anybody but i guess i just wish it was acknowledged more often

Youโ€™ve inspired me to pull out my copy of that book again. It probably could have helped my 2025 be a bit lessโ€ฆ devastating.

The most important point to keep in mind is that you call methods of children, while you signal to make a parent/global object perform an action.

Call down, signal up.

I feel like most of my gameโ€™s structure emerges from ensuring signals are available to the right listeners.

Peacemaker on HBO is worth your time, and directly ties into Superman in season 2.

Also, great music!

Related: I love the idea of the pro AI work crowd seeding little bits of UXO into their portfolios. They'll literally have no idea who or how much they're ripping off, until they do.

Same.

I like to pretend that the harder puzzles are just unsolvable background fluff and the protagonist always dies from starvation in front of a locked door about 60-80% of the way through the game.

Love the name!

I want a course called Hell Hole: as each hole (1-9) gets closer to Hell, the cave gets brighter/redder, and there are smoke, fire, and lava hazards.

ok a question: if you could have your students read one thing on genAI that you hope will encourage them not to use it, what would it be?

Canโ€™t wait until it bumps a cart, locks in the bananas, and makes a flambรฉ

Screenshot from a Tumblr post by ralfmaximus: Mozilla, in its finite wisdom, embedded LLM bots into recent versions of Firefox for the vitally-important purpose ofโ€ฆ naming tab groups. Now, some users are noticing CPU and power usage spikes caused by a background process called Inference.

Ugh. Reminder again for Firefox users to visit your about:config page, search for the browser.ml.chat.enabled key, and set that to false:

If yours says true then double-click it until it reads false.

Doing that turns off the AI chatbot features in Firefox, but also the stupid new LLM tab-naming feature that's rolling out

Hey Firefox users.

The frame before the last bit of damage would kill the final boss, freeze the action and roll credits. During the credits, replay every enemy death in sequential order, but include the names of their next of kin and the hole youโ€™ve left in their communities.

Utterly savage.

The instant an AI can make a tutorial worth watching, the info is NOT WORTH LEARNING because the AI can just do that thing for us now.

Right?

This business has all the structure of a perpetual motion machine, but itโ€™s just a wildly inefficient Universal Basic Income scheme.

I think once youโ€™ve crossed the line where you trust an LLM as a source of authoritative information, the LLM isnโ€™t going to correct your thinking. Especially if it gives you some wins by chance.

Itโ€™s like joining a cult, or accepting a massive conspiracy. You need to be deprogrammed.

Generative AI by definition is conformity. It is an averaging of anything you ask of it - quite literally guessing what the most likely version of a thing might be. It is, by definition, mainstream, as is everything it creates old and deeply ideological, as every model trains on similar data.
