Tl;dr love your weirdo neighbor and invite them to poker night Peace and love 💕❤️

Tbh this dude sounds like a winner to me. I wish more were this thoughtful and no overlap in special interests is a discovery goldmine.

Artists today by and large live off the patronage of others who share their values I suspect the artist economy changes little for the lucky few to gain traction and completely disintegrates for those who support themselves thru commercial commissions

I have a bad news about what would be involved in spinning up said service and it starts with “A” and it ends in “I can’t believe how entitled people are”

another downside of clinging to hard-line anti-AI rhetoric. you're just doing yourself and your peers a disservice.

how i feel explaining llm -> llm adversarial review to non ai types

I hate the idea that the inherently queer stance is anti-AI that some people seem to think is the default. I've had people question if I'm even a woman, and call me a tech bro, and it's like they're in active psychosis lmao. If you can't respect me as a woman you're a bigot, AI or not.

This is the scariest part for me. I've never lacked in ambition- it's self-control I need to keep an eye on, lest I careen off a cliff from relying on principles I don't actually understand.

the ideal combination is insane ambition and formal structure, without the second as scaffolding it collapses into slop or endless gastown-style epicycles

We are in the voting period. Watch your words cause someone is listening even if you don't think they are.

a counterintuitive synthesis here is that it is probably a good sign that the "impending Democratic backslide on trans rights" is constantly looming elaboration below:

I absolutely do not care about plagiarism, slop and spam. Not real problems or not new ones. As for cognitive surrender, that's been the norm since we started making tally marks on bones 35k years ago, 6 times older than civilization, it's how human cognition works. We externalize it habitually.

This, but also, as a liberal I believe in freedom and human rights for all people, all around the world. That translates into rooting interests in elections where freedoms and rights are on the ballot, as they often are.

> sick of the robots on the street sharing our space, we didnt consent to that brother you have consent completely fucked up, you cannot consent on behalf of the street dawg

why does every story / ad / fluff piece about AI give the absolute saddest pathetic example of AI use? it's pretty obvious to me why so many people assume AI has zero legitimate usage when even the "propaganda" confirms that prior

Hot take: an indie/solo dev with a vision using AI as a force multiplier is creating a game that is more "human" than the vast majority of AAA games

I sympathise. Im sitting on 3 game mods, 5 essays, 3 book manuscripts and a book revision. I won't release till I find the time to make them as good as I can reasonably make them and AI doesn’t provide an instant shortcut to do that, much as it is useful.

i believe this post is sane now

My biggest takeaway is that reporters should have been pushing back like this since day one. Every time they do he breaks a little bit more.

No on all WA initiatives But ESPECIALLY NO on I-638.

The day he dies may accidentally become the first nation-wide general strike as everyone calls in sick to celebrate

genuinely: the strangest thing about now is the gap between the average software person's ambition and what's actually possible loads of stuff you thought was too much work, just beyond your abilities, more trouble than it was worth…. is now $100 and a few days away

Cosigned. Unfollowing Erin made my life better without any reduction in my take of actually-relevant news.

Fuck anyone saying Vivek should win over Acton He's literally said he wants to put trans people in institutions & ban our access to transition care ffs, HOW is that better for trans people in Ohio? Fuck you, Erin.

AI really forcing me to reevaluate my internal productivity metrics There are categories of task I can barrel thru at 2-3x or more now and I have to NOT treat that as 2-3x more productive or soon those will be the only tasks I want to do “Make time for creative work” is becoming my new self-care

“That’s like someone at work asking you to star in a porno.” Hey now that only happened ONE TIME

"The moment you compromise the rights of a trans person in America you compromise the rights of every citizen in America" bsky.app/profile/mpun...

I see a lot of non-technical people confused about the recent security notices, so here's a quick explanation of how you can minimize risk: burn your driver's license, wipe and smash your computer, cut and dye your hair in a gas station bathroom. Find a coyote to get you over the border. Pay cash.

making a game right now, I literally cannot imagine making it without the tooling that I generate every day it's just grunt work. I made a thing that lofts two curves together in a certain way so I didn't have to manually repair the mesh every time. probably saved 20 hours of the dumbest labour

Listen to this true work of art.

I have made like ten prototypes in the last week and each proved something and taught me something It’s a game designer’s dream and it’s dizzying

If AI is actually that easy to use then I’m an idiot because I learn new tricks daily I am so thankful I didn’t wait any longer to get skilled up because like it or not AI expertise WILL be a deciding factor in most careers moving forward

There is only a weak correlation between "used AI" and "low effort" Once you understand that, you understand the potential of the time in which we find ourselves

AI demands best practices many of us have been… less disciplined about in the past This is a Good Thing

I need to come up with something fun to try out these System One models on

Always, always, always remember that throughout American history, people with no rights and their privileged allies kept fighting until they forced the issue. We can get back what we've lost and what we never knew we had. Nothing is over.
