A major danger of LLMs is that humans are SO predisposed to attribute knowledge to any entity that uses natural language fluently. We cannot imagine that a machine that outputs natural-seeming speech/text doesn't have cognition. Brilliantly articulated by @emilymbender.bsky.social et al. (2021).

After 3 years in russian captivity, 🇺🇦Elena’s husband from Mariupol is finally home. He wasn’t a soldier—just a man who joined the city’s territorial defense to protect his home from russian forces. For that, he was taken, tortured, and held without rights. Source: x.com/United24medi...

Studio Ghibli was founded on June 15, 1985, by the directors Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata, and producer Toshio Suzuki! 40 years of awesome and moving and joyful and tragic stories, beautifully animated 🥰

The Internet Archive has rolled out an extremely effective new tool for searching for old Geocities GIFs. I'd apologize for what I'm about to do to this website as a result, but that would be a lie, because I won't feel sorry at all gifcities.org

I think a lot of games jargon is incredibly bad but I have to give it to whoever coined the new term for Clair Obscur-specific subgenre of the French-infused JRPG, the j'RPG. Incredible work.

Day 1205 of my 3 day war. Hitting 1 million casualties in a pointless war on Russia's national day is perfect symbol of what I've done to Russia. I remain a master strategist.

Geneviève is right. Since @eeoor.bsky.social and I gave our talk on burnout at GDC last year, the most common question I get from burned out devs is, “How do I keep my job and recover?” They don’t typically like my answer, but it’s honest and sourced.

Had a chat with a friend who is clearly burnt out but still at work. The problem is that if you wait too long to seek help and take care of yourself your rope can just end up snapping suddenly. It’s a very long road to recovery after this. Friends, if you feel burnt out please seek help 🙏

I ran an experiment, simultaneously posting articles on Bluesky and X, and then testing to see how many people actually clicked and read them. The numbers on Bluesky are higher, both because the X algorithm downranks journalism, and because Bluesky attracts readers, not just shitposters.
