We acknowledge that no one has the bandwidth for this, but if it helps: -It’s ‘sleight of hand’ -It’s ‘bated breath’ -It’s ‘lo and behold’ -It's 'buck naked' -It’s ‘brass tacks’ -It’s ‘free rein’ -It’s ‘toe the line'

eBay users! Don't ignore today's email, even though it looks like a boring standard update to the User Privacy Notice. They want to use your data to train AI models. If you click the link over the words "the right to object", it takes you to a page with a toggle button letting you opt out.

This means that the increased price of RAM and consumer electronics was a result of an artificial "supply chain crisis" created by Jensen Huang pushing NVIDIA's customers to take early delivery of GPUs. Jensen Huang is responsible for making life worse for everyone.

Ed Zitron@edzitron.com

NVIDIA seems to be channel stuffing, forcing Amazon and other customers to take early delivery. The argument that these things are "scarce" when you don't even have anywhere to plug them into is nonsense...unless NVIDIA is saying you NEED to take them now, or else. GPUs are stacked in warehouses.

Why do we keep on doing this? Praising a 'small core team' for a game with 1100+ people in the credits is incredibly misleading. This PR narrative hurts, hides the massive shadow workforce of outsourced developers and testers, and sets impossible standards for actual indie teams.

Star Wars: Galactic Racer was made by a core team of 75 people. "What we wanted to do was keep that core small, smaller than perhaps you might have done in the past, and scale capacity and capability with what we call distributed development." https://bit.ly/4hT02qg

You know, the thing is, I had drafted this piece a month ago, and then never published it, because I thought maybe it was too mean.

can’t think of a better example of AI being mostly a solution to a problem that doesn’t exist also it can’t help when this is your user base

Just saw someone say their AI runs their fantasy football team and I can’t stop laughing. Like, I’m sure everyone’s doing it or something but it’s very funny to me that pretending to be a team manager was so hard that you needed to pretend to pretend to be a team manager

Just gonna light this bag of dogshit on fire and walk away from the doorstep, but the people in media I hear saying AI has made them "more productive" appear to be producing less than ever, and worse things than ever. I wonder if they can even tell.

We started a trade war with these people because the president, who has some sort of degenerative brain disease with visible bruises on his hand's injection site that the press doesn't talk about, was bored.

On 9/11, the people of Gander stepped up. They showed the very best of Canada.

It's always "I hate A\i" until a trend comes along and all of a sudden everyone thinks it's the funniest thing to slap slop filters over things and share it for social media points, doesn't make it any better if you do it as a joke, still counts as contributing and normalizing it

For an enthusiast press magazine that supposedly cares about the creative industry it covers; it seems real dumb to run an AI ad. Like, put the magazine back in the ground dumb.

U.S. SENATORS: doctor, doctor! is mitch mcconnell ok? is he alive? DOCTOR: i’ve never seen anything like it. he might still be alive. he might have already gone off to the afterlife. there’s just no way to know for sure. LINDSEY GRAHAM (kicking out the 12th story hospital window): oh yes there is.

After hiding suggestions for Adobe Illustrator constantly trying to get me to use generative nonsense, they seem to have decided that FORCING me to see it will somehow make me more amenable to the idea... it's just an insult to creatives, man.

Knicks fans, on Friday head to your local mosque and tell them you want to join Jummah prayer. Championship locked for Saturday. Trust me.
