We're at the stage where ChatGPT is actively encouraging its users to take copyrighted (translated) work, add their name to it, and submit it to specific magazines. It truly is an automated theft machine. www.timeextension.com/features/cha... (via @timeextension.com)

A "FROM BELOW" FIRST! @kirby703 has survived beyond the "kill screen" in my NES game, From Below🦑! There's a small asterisk on the run because she used a game genie code to skip ahead, but this run isn't easier except that she skips the easy part. www.youtube.com/watch?v=cKAL...

Deep Blue is 30 years old and was capable of defeating chess grand champions. It could be housed in a single cabinet. ChatGPT spans untold data centers devouring massive amounts of electricity and it got its ass whipped by an 8 bit gaming console from the 1970s.

Proposals to claw back federal funding for public media are happening now. This means the NPR Network is at serious risk. Your local station, the shows you listen to, and the website you read - could go dark forever. Protect one of America’s greatest resources. Take action here: n.pr/4mGteTj

This is wild. Submit your bids for David Lynch’s personal 35mm print of Eraserhead; a bunch of socks for the Bobby Briggs character; instruments, film gear and books; his parents’ memorabilia, band saws and other tools; furniture and of course, lots of coffee stuff. I want to hug it all.
