✨ 1000xRESIST is the WINNER of a PEABODY AWARD ✨ This is an honour of a lifetime. We took a lot of risks in the storytelling and we are so proud to be recognized. We are still digesting this. We cannot believe it... HEKKI GRACE EVERYONE 🥹

i really feel for all the Alberts, Alphonses, Alexanders, etc. in the world who can no longer go by "Al" it's just too confusing nowadays

Good folks doing good work and looking for more good people. #lawsky

an ai labyrinth created by ai to thwart LLMs that ignore "do not crawl" webpage requests. i like this. robots.txt is sacred. but what a weird world we live in

Last year, I reported that Bungie had fired former exec Chris Barrett for misconduct. Barrett then sued for wrongful termination, which surprised me given that I'd seen his texts to subordinates and figured Bungie could publish them in response. Which they now have. www.scribd.com/document/830...

NEW: Sony has finally responded--aggressively--to the December lawsuit filed by a Bungie veteran who said he was fired so they could get out of paying him $45 million They deny claims of a "sham" investigation and share texts between him and female employees www.gamefile.news/p/sony-bungi...

welcome to the future 🎉 robots talking to robots about your access to basic utilities

Just found out my mentor, the legendary figure who taught me everything I know, is the one behind the sinister plot I’ve been unraveling 👎

you were looking for the NVIDIA 5080 gpu drop i was looking for the progressive soup drop we are not the same

great read on video games: - research here is validating re: games are good and don't quite melt your brain - it's a beautifully interactive article. the medium is part of the message (and some wonderfully cozy art!) www.reuters.com/graphics/VID...

The biggest loser from the DeepSeek announcement is OpenAI. OpenAI has been bragging they’re close to AGI and charge $200/month to access their top model. DeepSeek just gave equivalent tech away for free on GitHub. Nvidia will still sell GPUs, OpenAI has been dealt a mortal blow.

"Keep your eye on the donut and not on the hole." RIP to an incredible inspiration. and read "Catching the Big Fish" if you're looking for a good, quick read
