"Time is not what a clock measures in general — time is the length of a path through spacetime." You have no idea what just happened inside my brain when I read that. And neither do I.

I watched You Can See Everything and honestly Nathan Fielder was almost as interesting as Holmes was.

Umm.. there's already open source apps for basically all of this stuff already.

In July, an incensed Elon Musk vowed that Grok Imagine would produce a "full-length" and "historically accurate" adaptation of Homer's Odyssey to put Christopher Nolan's woke version to shame. Three months later, we got seven minutes of slop that Grok itself admits is not historically accurate.

Okay I'm poor and watching the Elizabeth Holmes movie from a cam recording and the person recording it is audibly crunching and eating something and it's very audible. YOU BASTARD WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT.

So my understanding of the huge losses on Anthropic's sheet is that they are basically investor money skyrocketing in value that Anthropic will owe them in stock. Is that right? This isn't debt, it's a whole bunch of rich investment scumbags about to get even richer?

AI isn't the problem here, people being stupid is.

Writers Guild speaks out about tech platforms squashing the @alexgibneyfilm doc about Elon Musk: “A small handful of billionaires now own virtually every major media company, news outlet, social media platform and are demonstrating how this unchecked concentration threatens democratic discourse.”

I live in a rural town and, like, I don't know how to tell you this, but the girls play on the boys team and vice versa all the time because otherwise we don't have enough players for a game and it's literally always fine so stop being weirdos about kids sports and just let trans kids play.

Can't wait until these dumb takes finally die down and all this extremely predictable hyperventilating fades into the background.

I got curious how much electricity I'm using doing a bunch of image gen/edit locally so I had Claude write a small Perl script to query GPU power usage every half second and keep track of it. Neat.

Using distilled flash llm models be like…

A probably unpopular thought: even if an LLM can faithfully reproduce a single page of a copyrighted novel with 100% accuracy, it's fair use due to how little of the work is being reproduced. One page of a 334 page book is equivalent to reproducing 0.6 seconds of a song.

Me, to Claude Code: “I have a friend coming over. Modify Pac-Man to support a horizontal display with two player co-op, where player 2 is Ms. Pac-Man. Make one button be a speed boost. My Mistercade cabinet is at 192.168.1.102” Claude, two hours later: “The game is loaded up and ready to play”

I use LLMs for coding near constantly, in 30 seconds they give me something that'd take half an hour to write myself. In 5 minutes they give me something that would have taken a full weekend (if not longer) to make. They make software development WILDLY more efficient.

everyone is dooming about AI in game dev but i know in my bones that we are entering into a truly golden age of indie games

I use LLM stuff every single day and and generally very pro-AI, but I have a counter offer: how about you just pay developers up to $50k to... make games themselves? Which they love doing? And are really good at?

TV writing.

If we fired every 5th Circuit judge and replaced them with AI, would things get worse, ... or would they get better?

@hailey.at awee why'd you delete that weird ass harry potter vid post, I absolutely lost my shit at "The only man who stood by me when I got cancelled" 🤣

Love AOC but this is dumb and I'm disappointed in her.

I don't suppose anybody has a copy of "flux-2-klein-base-9b-fp8.safetensors" they can send me? Hugging face seems completely dead this evening.

Or we could just like.. I don't know.. work with and cooperate with China and Chinese companies so that all of us benefit. 🤷🏻‍♂️

my overseas midterm ballot got tallied today!! wishing my american pals a good outcome this election. if you haven't registered yet, please please please do it now. there's too much at stake to ignore this election. vote.org

Writing tie-ins is *a real fucking skill* and anyone who sneers at the people who do it can go piss up a rope. You think it's easy to write an entire novel to very specific order on an almost impossibly tight deadline? And have it be satisfying to read? Motherfucker, *you* try it. See how you do.
