Hi, I'm Vincent Zell, and I'm running for President / Governor / Mayor / System Admin of whatever's left of the Mid-Atlantic States of America in 2036, and I'll buy dinner for anyone who can help me build or nuance this take.

CastleBuilder, built in Godot. I exported a web version, so it doesn't have global illumination and other rendering features like volumetric fog and physical sky. But it works the same as the Godot app. The UI isn't great and lots of settings, I know. Link artbuddy.urlich.ch/castlebuilder/

this is something I do worry about, not because I think the GOP are even doing this necessarily--but because I think that on the left we are uniquely vulnerable to giving up in disillusionment if our wildest dreams don't come 100% true.

I’m conspiratorial enough to wonder whether the gop freakouts are an attempt to manage expectations so that anything short of a blowout is a disappointment www.texasmonthly.com/news-politic...

having grown up a movie freak in the 90s i will never call the internet a mistake. just finding out about movies used to be hard. when the internet made that easy, you'd read about stuff and have to accept you may never see it. the internet cracked the door to cinema and then kicked it wide open ❤️🛜

would there be any surviving artefact to show that character ai ever existed?

Jason Koebler@jasonkoebler.bsky.social

New: I pulled the Character ai bankruptcy documents. They show: - They were spending $14 million/month on compute alone at a time their revenue was around ~$1 million/month - Currently losing $9 million a month - They admitted they enshittified & that it didnt work www.404media.co/character-ai...

Would you believe our game is built from basically just 1 texture?

The only friends I have that host regularly are a couple, and they each do half the work. No one else seems to have the bandwidth.

Proposing analog to,”racism can explain every weird thing in America” is, “women are busy working for money is the secret reason everything we miss about a society is now dying.”

Look we have to accept some bad things happening in return for what AI can do for us, such as selecting the Star Wars LEGO set that looks the most fun for my kid

I am printing this whole arc into a little booklet to give to my local Taco Bell when I drive through next, this is my order, it's 7$ and all the calories I need to not die that day

Wow! Texts are super rare for the Hittites, basically there’s just one archive and it’s 95% lists of prayer sacrifices to mountain gods, so this is really, really exciting!

Human beings have no choice but to live with technology and it's time that we enforced an ethic that those who build it must make technology transparent, safe and rationalisable to the point where it isn't so fucking mystifying and dangerous to use for ordinary people.

A lot of people like to reference Asimov’s I, Robot in tech discourse, but seem to fail to remember that the collection ends with the robot singularity becoming fully manifest in the destruction of fascist political projects

"AI lets you focus on the higher level ideas!!" because we all grew up dreaming of becoming managers and CEOs we all know the real artists at the very highest level are the shareholders, famously full of amazing ideas

i also just have to say that pointing at a falling down barn while bragging about how fewer people are coming to america is about the perfect encapsulation of how MAGA believes in making america smaller and weaker

There are two academic disciplines, computer science and sociology. Biology? Computer science. Physics? Computer science. Economics? Computer science. Computer Science? Actually, Sociology.

Man, you have to be just...really racist...not to come away from spending basically any time at all at an American university with a nearly boundless faith in the power of American assimilation. All sorts of students whose ancestors came from all over, utterly and completely American, all the way.

I know people have been saying it for years but maybe this is the thing that finally does Blexas?

they COULD design their app to make it actually serve the customer, with an easy “reorder” button that would duplicate the order exactly without error it would be: 1. utterly reliable 2. faster 3. cheaper so much “ai” is a sloppy patch for learned helplessness at the corporate level

There’s a popular depiction of expertise that looks like intense, obsessive focus on infinitely complex abstraction, but I think an even more accurate depiction would be not scaling a fifty foot wall when you know there’s a door.

i agree with the key point here and will add to it that there IS a reward, it’s knowing you did one right thing instead of walking around plagued by the nameless shame that afflicts all men who are determined to live the most frictionless lives possible

Hannah Vardit@hannahvardit.bsky.social

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward
