Stumbled upon this lovely summary of human creation vs ai - www.youtube.com/watch?v=dK11...

In the meantime I’m just gonna draw dungeons for Halls of Teknor✨

Ive finally gotten around to printing a little half sized maquette of one of my Rampage models. Quite happy with how its turned out except the eyes were too small to print separate irises so he looks a little boss eyed 🤪 #rampage #amiga #c64 #retrogaming #3dprinting #bambulabs

🔥 It's happening! Disney and Universal are suing Midjourney and they cited mine and Gary Marcus' work exposing their infringement in their filing. LET'S GO! 🔥

there are powers that will do everything they can to convince you otherwise, but it should be said loudly that protest proves love. community is a conduit for love and oppression seeks to crush community. standing up to say no is an act of love

Love the teacher who says it is like sending a robot to lift weights for you at the gym.

possible mechanism and treatment for long covid! fingers crossed it bears out

Britain has no idea - in terms of its self-image, not economists obviously - what economy it actually has One of my favourite facts to point out is: at over £8bn annually, the *videogames industry* is more than twice as valuable to the UK economy as fishing and steel combined.

When people talk about advances in technology unlocking a new frontier of human prosperity, I'm always skeptical. Efficiencies accumulate wealth to the wealthy. Only a change in values — a change in the distribution of prosperity — will improve the lives of non-wealthy people.

Hey, our TikTok is blowing up! If you’re also into games that make you feel things, give it a like/share and go wishlist to support us? 🫶✨ vm.tiktok.com/ZNdkAPNWs/

Absolutely surreal to have lived through the Napster days and watched as the titans of industry moved hell and high water to lock down any possible chance that someone's song might get swapped online without giving the studios a cut and now those same people are just like "well we gotta steal music"

This is a coverage of a fake car show made with ai by google and I fucking hate it so much I know there are slight details to tell it apart from a real thing, but this is just going to make disinformation so easy to spread, it already is, but this is next level bullshit

due to israel’s morally unjustifiable actions we are suspending trade talks [5 seconds later] here’s our minister for beastiality enjoying a behind-the-scenes tour of all the latest UK-made genocide kit

Laying workers off should be more of a source of shame in the games industry. I think they did it a few times and realised there are virtually no consequences and now workers are at the whim of a quarterly report. They hire new staff, lay them off, hire new staff, reshuffle, sell, etc, repeat.

Doing some more archive.org digging, because what else is there to do on a Friday night, and just struck gold: a Wip3out press CD from 1999. High-res renders, concept sketches, lots of Designers Republic stuff, and some wild PlayStation hardware photography. Link: archive.org/details/Wip3...

@personalbeatles.bsky.social OMG - when you said that Bee Gees movie was bad - I didnt think you meant THAT bad 😧. its so odd 🤯

Oh No! More Lemmings #amiga #retrogaming #3dprinting

I don’t often get fomo, but today’s one of those days. It seems like half of Croydon is on their way to Wembley!! 🦅

I predict that the rise in the use of LLMs at work will lead to more unnecessary meetings -- as nobody either writes or reads their own emails any longer, they'll need to have more frequent meetings to figure out what the fuck is going on.

Another satisfied customer 😊 I might have to get thinking on one final pose 🤔 #lemmings #retrogaming #amiga #3dprinting

“It is astonishing that a Labour government would abandon the labour force of an entire sector. My inbox is filled with individual artists & global companies who are bewildered that the government would allow theft at scale & cosy up to those who are thieving.” www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Wow. The UK is in Minority Report mode. Also, as it was at a Quaker meeting space it seems like only some religious spaces are respected. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

Hey bsky! 👋 I'm Lenja, a solo indie dev based in Berlin, Germany. Here's what I'm currently working on: My 6 month old prototype for a game about spreading water in the desert and watching things grow. 🌱✨

What a fucking great way of handling such a distressingly evil interview. I had never heard of Kneecap, but I'm buying their discography just for being good lads with a solid moral compass in a fucking horrifying world. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3C17...

the UK is a country where the House of Lords has to protect labourer rights from the Labour Party

The Prime Minister imitating Enoch Powell’s ‘Rivers of Blood’ speech is sickening. That speech fuelled decades of racism and division. Echoing it today is a disgrace. It adds to anti-migrant rhetoric that puts lives at risk. Shame on you, Keir Starmer.

Even if Duolingo is helping you as it once did me, deleting your account is the only correct move right now. The company posted record profits, but capitalist greed means they're killing jobs, lowering quality, and will be creating an increasingly inferior experience for increasingly higher prices.

I left Duolingo when they set out in this direction. Language is the way humans communicate, and I want to learn from humans, by humans, about humans. AI should have no place in this as far as I'm concerner. www.theverge.com/news/657594/...

This administration is sickening in its cruelty and ignorance

Don't forget to object to Meta using AI if you're in a place with enough privacy regulations to have them offer the option. help.instagram.com/contact/2339...

brb, time to delete everything off Instagram
