Comparison is a way better thief of joy than me :(

Just a reminder that there is no good data to support these uses in K12, we are just testing it live all on kids who won’t ever be these ages again and can’t get them back if we fuck it up.

Anthropic is trying to write its own federal AI regulation law. The major AI firms have all issued feeble proposals for how their AI will serve the public, in anticipation of their pending IPOs. It's all a reminder that we cannot, any under circumstances, let AI firms govern the future.

I finished reading The Brothers Karamazov and the “Ivan’s Nightmare” chapter has to be one of the most compelling parts I’ve read in a novel. Every time I read a classic it’s like ah yeah dang ok you’re right, everyone in history.

Our October show ruled thoroughly. Check it out via "nearly two hours of unedited video" here!

I'm getting surgery next Tuesday because my ovaries keep growing teeth! The surgery is paid for, but if you'd like to help me out, please consider subscribing to my patreon (where you can read comcis early) or purchasing my comics on itch. www.patreon.com/c/theyoungdo... jrdoyle.itch.io/voidcall

getting to the finish line in a marathon and shitting your pants and slipping on it and just straight up exploding

I'm sure it's good that over the past several days I have seen multiple vibecoding people say their individual versions of "yeah this is like playing a slot machine for me and I find it hard to stop and I love that actually"

Every single hobby I love has has been infected by slopped up and unserious software. It's exhausting. aftermath.site/ai-slop-hobbie...

MYTH: Every mixup is a 50/50 FACT: All is written. You were never meant to block that low. The very concept of a mixup is the post-hoc invention of a mind in hitstun. The trajectory of particles cannot be changed

(after 7 and a half solid minutes of just letting the freestyle beat play uninterrupted) My money's like pinocchio They're lyin' and I nose it The fairy life of a real boy And I chose it

working in games these past few years is just like, perpetual mourning

every day from a thousand voices, we hear: "what if gambling could save us"

Was just typing "this fucking industry" to a friend and instead typed "this fucking injury." and you know what,

I reviewed House of Leaves. www.instagram.com/reel/DevHb_F...

I'll be honest, there is nothing more demoralizing to me than devs saying "I know AI is built on theft, and anti-labour, and harms the environment, but I'm going to use it anyway bc I don't believe individual choices matter". This is how a movement fails. www.molleindustria.org/blog/future-...

how far out are we from them making a SEARS movie

Oouuuhhhhhhghhh I can't take it anymore (has no choice but to continue to take it)

(any chart) man we are fucked

The restored version of The Devils is a masterpiece. For me it takes it from "great movie!" to Great Movie. Really spectacular to see on a big screen.

there is a kind of collective suicidal exhaustion in the 70+ crowd as though the unspoken wish is to beat the end of civilization by being entombed alive with their family and possessions to all die together, the friction of living finally at an end, suburban pharoahood culminated

The Devils and Concrete and You Can See Everything all happening at once makes me feel like there is actually hope for this world

Seeing ads at the movie theater: bad Seeing AI generated ads at the movie theater: murder is legal

just got out of The Devils (1971) and hey if that's playing in a theater near you then you should STRONGLY consider it. consider it the maximum possible amount

Society should reintroduce the concept of taxis

"I know not with what weapons WWIII will be fought--" wrong. teeth.

growing up, my mom really drilled into me that it's very rude to annex southern Lebanon

LKIAB has one of the sharpest, most fun dialogue systems you've ever seen in a game. And the game is really fucking funny. Ten years sounds wrong though, Christine, you should check the math.

Sealed Fortress is so awesome. I should have made a map. I still could. A really tough dungeon crawler… I’m like 15 hours in now and having a blast. store.steampowered.com/app/5210640/...

I worry about that Cowboy Dan. Even if he’s a major player, he just sounds like he’s having a rough one.

when it comes to visualizing video game health, it's hard to beat a globe of blood

my greatest sexual fantasy is getting my prescribed medications at regular intervals such that I experience uninterrupted therapeutic effects
