I always love how quiet their scenes together are. It's odd how rare it is to see a calm loving couple in movies and not have one of them ending up in a box.

I hate that movie so much. It seems purpose-built to be hated, though I don't know how. In other words, I'd love to read a smart person's take on it.

New game idea for @molleindustria.org, honestly

Yurt Glampers has the same ring to me as a Dutchman as I assume Sleeve McDichael / Bobson Dugnutt has for native English speakers. It could work, but it's comically uncanny.

Amazed, too, but only at first glance. Then the two-tailed cats start standing out, and after that I realize the only real use case for things like this is fakery (or stock art we're not supposed to look at for longer than two seconds). Who does this tech help? We can for sure say who it's harming!

Real people in this subreddit engaged with this content. Thought deeply about it. Perhaps cared about the "people" who posted them, e.g. a (fake) SA victim.
AI impersonating humans in online communities where we go to connect with other people is harmful: theconversation.com/ai-chatbots-...

This should be the default, if not from a safety perspective than at least from a UX perspective. It looks like this has all the buttons and dials a car needs: platform.theverge.com/wp-content/u...

Vreemd hoe hij daar opeens vergeet hoe er een hele economie is ontstaan rond de 'gulle giften' van miljardairs die er vrij direct voor zorgt dat directe overheidshulp exclusief 'bragging rights' wordt tegengehouden.

Then you do press record and what comes out next sounds like a deflated whoopee cushion that's not feeling it today.

Wife and I still screech the lizard shopkeeper's "OK I'll sell it to ya" line at each other every so often.

I was thinking of post-apocalypse-y stuff or something dreamy. Screen 4 felt like a bonk over the head.

Best thing about it is neither people nor advertisers are paying for this at the moment. That money's all coming from investors for now. How do they ever expect to make a profit on it?

Please don't use genAI, not even for this. At best it's arguing a use case those same billionaires you're rightfully ridiculing would love people to believe in, at worst it's using a lot more energy than needed to accelerate the bringing together of penguins and fires in less comedic ways.

Voor iemand die jou al op Twitter volgde wil ik even zeggen hoe heerlijk het is deze post op BSky te kunnen openen zonder bedolven te worden onder allemaal nare, oneerlijke reacties. Wat een rust!

Mine are usually but not inherently creepy. Some are just so loud that I wake up to see who's making all that racket.

It's the individualistic values that cause y'all to not see much value in collective action.

I've been a judge on a game design challenge for a few years where this topic always comes back; how can you make a game raising awareness of relationship abuse without having players behave violently? Every year I'm amazed at the creative ideas designers are coming up with. communicating.games

I'm in games research on games like these in particular. You summarized DQ's value perfectly. Tried interviewing Quinn about this when that game was still new, but my messages got lost in the sea of harassment...

It's odd how much of a hair trigger we're on online, considering how much overtly awful stuff we see.

Silent Hill used to give us the difference between 'this lock is broken' and 'this door is locked' so that you can easily suss out doors that you should be able to open and ones that are just there to make the space more believable. Much better than the 'no interaction possible' method, I'd say!

Sorry! I didn't mean to talk down or say you're wrong. I said it because I agree with almost everything you post (and then just like and move on) but feel that making fun of this dorky language plays into the hands of automated content censors. Sorry for doing the pancakes/waffles thing.

On here, sure! On platforms where speech is limited but they want to talk about serious topics, not so much.

At first I'd say no, but put a y after wack and it seems to point to a different word. I wouldn't call any cartoon races 'whacky'.

Yeah, agree. As someone who's always had 14 as their 'lucky number' (pfp is 14 too) I've been side-eyeing this particular dogwhistle for decades. That kind of post is inexcusable to us, but apparently plausibly deniable to many. I wonder if @dieworkwear.bsky.social's stance on this is evolving.

I was mostly shocked to see the likes and replies he's still getting there. I think this migration's success is a little overblown. That or there's vastly more nazi sympathizers than I expected. Unfortunately his answer to your question would be 'for engagement'. I wonder how long that will stand...
