Slack added joke statuses for Halloween I kinda love the idea of a world where TF is so normalised that someone would just be like, sigh, let me get my status up

In the last few weeks i've been bombarded with emails from people who have minor tech support problems. ChatGPT is telling them to email me, writing their emails, and compiling "evidence packets" after convincing them they have stumbled on a major story: www.404media.co/chatgpt-keep...

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

It’s always so sad when a TOS cast member goes, but there’s some comfort in knowing how much love and inspiration they leave behind Everything I’ve read about Koenig made him sound like a class act

My pal Danielle Koenig shared that her father Walter Koenig passed away last night at age 90. A performer whose kindness and warmth shone through the screen. He will be well remembered.

Accidentally creating an AI whose entire worldview is just the dick pics on my phone and then asking it what I should get a relative for Christmas

Genuinely trainwreck stuff in the article below This horrific anecdote is part of a fluff piece for an AI personal assistant which boasts the unique selling point of doing all the stuff every other AI personal assistant claims to do

cool, cool

I really like how iOS works out the foreground of an image and adds some depth to the lock screen I mean I have no fucking clue what time it is but it looks nice

Epic/Unreal are deliberately trolling anti-AI sentiment for free advertising and the best thing you can do at this point is ignore it

So what is PHP? “PHP is like when a brother and sister meet for the first time in twenty years, but can only communicate by whispering poems across a moonlit lake,” explains Murray Canvas of VigilantOffspring, a Berlin-based cybersecurity think tank. “Sometimes you hear the echoes of the lilies.”

I do genuinely enjoy that PHP’s acronym is recursive It’s just a dumb little dorky joke that’s now being included in a thousand dreary cybersecurity articles

As much as it's funny to dunk on PHP from time to time, a programming language is just that: a programming language. If it allows you to achieve what you want to do, then it's a good language. For all its flaws, it's an important part of the internet, and will probably continue to be so.

“What programming language does your brain run on? Is it Klark? Do you have a SLEEN port? These are widely derided technologies on my planet. You know nothing of my culture.”

I left a job after a single day as a teenager because I was told I’d be sorting recycling and when I turned up they made me a bin man

I thought RPS was incorrectly using quotes here but no they actually said that They’re trying to be relatable and it’s quite possibly the most tone-deaf thing Epic have ever done Which is really saying something

"We vibe coded a new Epic Games Launcher" because "programming is hard", announce company we're somehow supposed to see as a serious Steam competitor https://bit.ly/4hMHbi5

People who know me will know that I generally try to resist get swept away with some of the hate that gets channelled towards large gaming companies but good fucking god epic, you’re one of the biggest names in the industry, you don’t get to suddenly go “lol we’re a self aware quirky brand 😂” now

Genuinely, do this Even stupid memes like “would you fuck your clone” and “legally cannot say fuck” can be great little character explorations

The Cartoon Network leak revealed that the team actually wrote fake interviews for the Powerpuff Girls in-house so that the writers could understand them better and honestly this is incredibly useful for learning how to characterize your characters holy shit

This was the most accurate I could get it in the span of my commute without overthinking it I think I need a “willing to say fuck if it’s scientifically necessary” row

Sayla is definitely someone you’d never hear swear, but then would tactically deploy an armour-piercing “fuck” when the moment was right

One day, probably soon, we’re going to get a game where you have to pay upfront for packs of AI credits before you play, and the Al guys will have successfully invented the world’s shittiest arcade
