The internet can be pretty gullible about tech products, but congrats to everyone who called exactly what this was going to be used for from the first moment they saw it.

I know absolutely nothing about Lula except that i saw someone share a clip on insta of him in celebration kissing a trans woman politician on the cheek and oh my god is that a radical act for a politician in 2026 so lets fucking go

I do kind of feel bad for this guy, he seems sincere about the whistleblower stuff but this is what people say when tech people are dismissive about how art works their whole life

STAT@statnews.com

β€œ'You Can See Everything' is a hilarious, thrilling, fascinating, beautiful piece of art. What it certainly is not is a documentary, and it’s dangerous to pretend that it is,” writes Theranos whistleblower Tyler Shultz. https://bit.ly/4Bk2nDJ

I was wondering coming out of the theater if this movie was really confrontational to the tech guy worldview or if it was just flattering me, and I guess we have our answer here. I kinda feel bad for this guy.

If bolsonaro had won then Yglesias would 100% be saying "here are 3 things Americans should learn from the Brazilian elections..." instead

Yes well it does require things like β€œempathy” and possessing a basic understanding that all of our lives are interconnected

This seems true to me, every incentive is aligned to write as much code as possible to look impressive, cause more work for AI agents later, and make it harder for humans to read. It's also just the nature of these systems to be overly verbose.

what does it say about the national party that there are candidates running on the dem ticket buying ads saying that some people are technically subhuman without reprimand or even comment. would you abide that for any other group or is this one special

I heard people wanted incredible indie games without any slop. So everyone’s buying Virtue and a Sledgehammer right??

I wish you could experience a life without pain. Virtue and a Sledgehammer coming 27 October.

I think it might have been the Star Wars special editions, according to my mom I really didn't like them lol

First film you saw at the cinema. The real first one, not the pretend one you tell people! Mine: The Empire Strikes Back, 1980, Wigan. We were near the front and I can still remember how massive the AT-ATs looked, looming over us out of the snow :) Film, year, where, and whatever stuck with you.

SPD likes to have funded vacancies not just so they can "show that they've saved money," as this story says, but to pay for extra overtime for its officers, who make time and a half on six-figure salaries. That's what the money is primarily spent on.

I support this car now. Every rich guy in the world should have one. Pressurize and depressurize this carbon fiber vessel many times in a variety of temperatures right by your head

Ian Boudreau@ianboudreau.com

Ah, the auto influencers have explained that this carbon fiber-wrapped ball, which sits right behind the driver's head, holds about 100kg of nitrogen pressurized to about 10,000 psi. Let me just go review the tolerances people found in their Cyber Trucks

Humanization from the average western person towards people our governments say are condemned nonpersons in other countries and are supposed to be hated

Social media loves talking about how everything is getting worse. But what’s something that you’ve seen get _better_ in your lifetime?

Obviously fraught and in many specific cases worse than before, but generally towards Palestine, Cuba, even Iran and the DPRK

not the point and i feel the same way as OP, but if you scrolling are in this position I would love to talk to you about starting a worker co-op instead of being a boss.

A Florida man was found dead in his home during a welfare check in July 2022. Weeks later, one of the officers who discovered his body moved into the home and spent years impersonating him, according to investigators.

Ok so I saw You Can See Everything and there's one part I REALLY hated- (spoiler) the AMC theater I was in didn't turn on the air conditioning and it was a packed house so by hour 2 it was boiling hot and humid as fuck. I can't believe Nathan made that creative choice.

I don't think it's an accident that @ko-op.com is committed to being AI free due to its democratic structure. The workers have made their stances very clear and their power to impact policy and workflows gives them the opportunity to define the workspace how they see fit.

Keepsake County, after 5 long years is releasing on November 12. Burgle Midwestern farmhouses to pay off your massive debt in this roguelike immersive sim. Go to jail, break out, and try again.

this is significant is that it costs money to make and release a game, even with AI at least a few hundred dollars. Zero reviews almost guarantees it made no money. A handful of reviews is still generally less than $500 revenue. Are people willing to lose money on these slop games forever?

zagawee@zachisagardner.bsky.social

just wanted to share something i discovered the amount of games released in 2022 compared to this year has increased by 77%. I use 2022 because that marks the last year before AI really took over the internet whats crazy to me is that the amount of games with ZERO REVIEWS has ALMOST TRIPLED. ZERO?

I think if I were valve I would start raising the price to submit a game to steam, maybe start with $300 instead of $100. Squeeze out the people trying to flip 100 games for $100 profit each.

It's always been easy to make and upload a shitty game on steam nobody wants to play. The difference now is the delusion that these slop games will make any money, but can that last forever?

It's definitely not the case that more reviews = a better or more serious game. But it is significant that the number of games that made significant money have grown a reasonable amount yoy and the $0 revenue games have exploded in number. Two groups that are playing completely different games here

I'm curious how well valves systems are going to work with this, we will see on Wednesday how many of these games are still visible.

Like I'm curious how many games will make back the token cost + $100 steam fee even, there's no way it's even half of them.

At this point I'm really not. I think there's a niche for making games that rely on a meme-y gimmick to sell that is being attacked by this problem, which sucks, but I don't see it happening outside of that.
