A bit of wishful thinking from the media editor here, I think

Not to be pedantic, but I feel we can rule this out in particular. How would a t-Rex attach the hair-ties with its short arms?

Yeah they deleted it. It hasn’t been a great week for people declaring BlueSky dead!

That was it. Time to brush off the old javascript manual. Sorry everyone.

So they did the only rational thing and deleted it from here :D It was literally a self-disproving post.

I had to use Bing for a few weeks while travelling in China, and they even had bugs in removing the placeholder text in the search input field. I don't think they're big on polishing the experience over there :P

It seems like a natural extension of play testing or simulating the dynamics of economics which I assume game studios do, without really knowing :D
But if you look at Claude playing Pokemon, it also seems like there's a long way before they play at human levels through normal UI interfaces!

Yep I can totally see that. It's a bit of a challenge of finding the right metaphor, I think.

Hm that's helpful. I have to ponder that for a bit. My game is quite niche and there's not that many similar games, but there is a core mechanical arc to consider.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge, much appreciated!

I was hoping someone would say something like that! I was starting to wonder if I’m the only person in the world who doesn’t understand how games work.

It’s even more ominous imo. No editorialising, just an acknowledgment that someone we know nothing about came and took someone away.

When people complain about information bubbles it always means they’re frustrated that they can’t inject their narrative into your view.

My take-away is that it's more important for the protesters to make a point about pride and heritage, than to win the fight.
It's not the Mexican flags - it's the combination of Mexican flags and burning cars and mayhem. At the very least you must admit that it's great PR material for Trump admin?

... and also, I'd like there to be at least 5 people at Anthropic working full time on making that experience as smooth as possible :)

Yeah, I want Claude to come up with the actual prompts behind the scenes, so I just discuss it and give the top level description of what I want.
But have you tried the MCP server approach? If you have and think it works well, I'll give it a shot. But I might start with the fal.ai MCP server.

Weeell.. ok... I mean, this feels more like a proof of concept than a integration like ChatGPT has with Dall-e. I'd have to do a lot of work myself here to get it to that state :( I just don't want to do the work :/

Hmm... tell me more. Do you know of a good image generation MCP I can add?

Same with pink eye. It does nothing good to pee on pink eye.

I have people from the full range of the political spectrum not engaging with my posts on here

This is never going to become the place to discuss AI, though. Twitter just has too much critical mass with techies. But for following journalism, Bsky is already better or on par as a destination for following international stories!

Old Twitter also used to have this (we all came from there, after all), but it was drowned out by other voices *and* we had tighter content bubbles there.
I think the solution is to help new people filter out this stuff and find good accounts faster. The original sin on Bsky is the onboarding

No general account - I searched up journalist starterpacks to add.
(Then I promptly unfollowed a lot of them, because I don't want too much American political news)

I don't use a lot of emojis, evidently, but when I do it's not with a light heart! 😬😱🤯

Hmmm I don’t think that is true. Start a new account and click around a bit, and you’ll see they personalise quite actively. You can also tell that they do quite a bit of explore and exploit personalisation.

Yeah goes to show how different people are - or maybe also how different roles are. My last in-office experience was also like this and I still have PTSD 8 years later. I was also super frustrated over how slow development moved, which adds up with devs solving tickets w/ tech support tbh 😬

I hate saying it, but I feel it was more a string of hits up to and including Grand Budapest Hotel, then a string of misses.

There’s so many variables in play here that tech leaders have not typically wanted to engage with, which makes it so much harder to discuss because people come to it with very different experiences.
For ex: Was you last office a focussed 6 person team room or a 100 person OO shared with sales?
