people in the replies to this are getting into arguments so heated that they're blocking each other. some say we need sports to distract people like these, but sports are for intellectuals. maybe we could reboot the west wing for them or something

Yes, and studies show that working more than ~60h/week for more than two months straight results in a decline in both efficiency and overall productivity. These guys have their heads up their asses. I went over a bunch of this stuff in a Reboot talk in 2018 btw youtu.be/nHWvUmlzamo?...

As everyone is rightfully in shock about this despicable treatment... Please also remember that the US has been helping to break down intl law for a year and a half. This is not new. And will continue to destabilize everything.

This is so good. Elon Musk is throwing a bunch of money into the Wisconsin Supreme Court race, and his PAC launched an attack ad... against an person unrelated to the race with the same name as one of the candidates. wisconsinexaminer.com/briefs/musk-...

extremely important PSA

Someone is breaking into all the Melbourne LGSs and stealing their stock. 7-9 or so stores in the last 8 weeks. Please keep an eye out for suss sales in the next few weeks online to try catch these despicable knobs targeting small businesses.

Incoming message from the Grammy’s. Lady Gaga wants to know what the fuck you’re doing so close to the Neutral Zone.

OpenAI says it has proof that Deepseek used its work without permission to create something meant to undermine and destroy its product. On behalf of all the authors whose novels and stories were taken as training data, oh no that must be so hard for you.

Weird how worried Wall Street is about DeepSeek, weren’t they just saying AI innovation is good even if it harms some people in the short term

John Fetterman’s a disgrace to the oaf community. He does not represent America’s lumbering buffoons, ham-fisted galoots, or men whose heavy footsteps are soundtracked by a tuba.

my worst quality? probably that i work too hard. i've been called a bit of a perfectio—[i immediately blank out and open up my phone to youtube shorts. family guys clips blast out my phone at 100% volume. i awake in the street outside the office. stewie is darth vader and hes fighting brian with a l

The extras is easily one of the reasons why I read the Fullmetal Alchemist manga even though I saw both TV anime adaptations. Hiromu Arakawa has a way with her words and art... and the bonuses in each volume.

What much of this debate is missing is that to ‘get a joke’ one must first accept a premise, with a total disregard for one’s own critical faculties, with the distinct goal of admission to a powerful group at the expense of the other. As such, every joke is nothing less than a primer for fascism.

In honor of David Lynch (1946-2025), some quotes about how his work on Twin Peaks influenced the Zelda series. #DavidLynch #TwinPeaks #Zelda

Trying and struggling to think of any consumer facing tech that feels *less* consumer driven than generative AI

Godot 4.4 beta 1 is finally here! This release had tons of editor quality of life features as well as performance improvements, we know you are going to love it. Oh, and I almost forgot to mention, we added embedded game debugging inside the editor! #godotengine godotengine.org/article/dev-...

rather than make Trump look good, this just so deeply underscores how monstrous Biden is. none of this had to happen, this is his legacy, any amount of good his administration did do is completely overshadowed by his indispensable role in a genocide

This deal has been available at least since May, arguably since last November after the first prisoner exchange. Every hostage who has died since, every Palestinian killed or who died of malnutrition or a treatable disease, is a direct result of Biden’s refusal to force the deal.

If the Greenland thing is indicative of how liberals in the US will respond to Trump, then it’s game over. All the grifters who juiced anti-Trumpers for 8 years are now like “Look he is actually raising a real issue about Greenland’s strategic importance”.

Screen NSW has opened its game funding program for new applications.

after days of grifters and con men at CES we stumbled upon the booth for VLC. they were all dressed as wizards and told us, "we have nothing to sell, we just decided to show up". i told them I'd been using their software to pirate media for 15 years and they said "keep doing that"

i guess you have to pay for the pro plan these days

My game Stimulation Clicker is out now, enjoy :) > neal.fun/stimulation-...

hmmmmmmmmff 🍷

You don’t understand scale. Use $50 to buy 10 burrito plants. In 6 months you have 250 burritos. Plant those into 250 tortillas. 6 months you have 6,250 burritos. Plant them. 6 months you have 156k burritos. Plant them. 6 mo you have 3.9MM burritos. Sell them on doordash for $40 each.

The first 11 Bowsers so far! Which one is your favorite? #BowserPosting / #PIxelArt

one of my central beliefs, really genuinely and sincerely is that cars are fundamentally evil and indoctrinate people into extremely reactionary ideology. I am not joking.

with every bite of bánh mì they grow stronger

They just completely won with calling LLM errors "hallucinations" didn't they? Even the fiercest AI critics say it. Unnecessarily anthropomorphic and helpless way to say "returned false and broken results," as if the bot had an imagination or the ability to tell truth from lies.

Last night I drew a map of places of worship in and around Melbourne’s CBD w/ 150m exclusion zones around them. It shows that the new laws will make protests at common gathering places, parks, transport hubs and thoroughfares illegal /🧵

Australians should probably be a little less smug about our healthcare as bulk billing doctors become rarer and rarer and gaps become wider. Where do you reckon this is going, exactly?

Yes yes a thousand times yes

LOL the Washington Post replaced its archive search tool with an AI that tries to summarize the archive ahead of delivering any actual stories, and which only ranks its findings by "relevance," with no option to rank them by date

I'm fascinated by the Singal discourse because it feels like a real inflection point for Bluesky. There's what the platform owners want to use it for (a springboard to establish a decentralized social media protocol), and what its users hope it will be (Twitter but aligned for good).

Every prof I’ve seen speak on the state of academia has said that a large percentage of incoming students neither want to read books nor write essays so a lot of them use ChatGPT. Epic $100k+ bachelor’s degree to not learn anything. 👍

It continues to blow my mind that Tony Abbott almost got rolled for trying to introduce a $5 GP co-pay and since then, a $40+ fee has been introduced by stealth and it isn’t even an election issue

Remarkable how many takes upon takes we’ve had following this horrible synagogue attack, when so little remains known. The Age has spent the weekend blaming pro-Palestine protestors, Dutton is now attacking Jewish MPs. None of this is really feels like it’s stopping antisemitism does it.

"Mark Regev, former senior adviser to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Australian citizen, has been served with charges of advocating genocide. The next hearing will take place at the Victorian Magistrates’ Court on 10 December 2024."

When Animorphs ended, fans were vocal about how they didn't like the depressing ending. K.A. Applegate responded with amongst the most brutal letters I've read. It takes a generational talent to tell your fans "If you're mad at me because that's what you have to take away from Animorphs, too bad."

During the pandemic I wrote, designed, and did virtual photography for a travel guide to Breath of the Wild's Hyrule. I've been working on it this week to make it readable in-browser. If that sort of thing sounds interesting, please give it a look jintor.itch.io/hyrule-tourist
