between this and the cornell stuff coming back up this week, idk. Probably worth remembering that someone you know surely had a similar experience in college and that this stuff even being in the news is making their life harder

Hate Instagram with a passion and the ads it pushed on me but I truly needed the laugh I got from this AI calisthenics ad.

A workout plan where, on Day 3, you are required to dislocate both of your knees in order to do the fabled "Techbro pushup" which is also labeled as '10 3 Squats'. The world is dying for this.

Why are writers so obsessed with talking about what CEOs do in the off time when it's insane shit that normal people can't do? Doesn't really help the humanizing goal of a profile piece. This person might be a CEO but they also have a cat, collect boats, and fly fighter jets. OK man

I really try to buy games on release to support them (because christ knows everyone can just get fired that week) but it is very annoying to play through most of a game for the studio to then say "whoops yeah we've fixed it now". You're really incentivised to leave it 6 months and grab it on sale.

There's a new café after opening up on my road and I want to support them because hell yeah local lattés, but ALL of their signage is AI generated so I shall simply never cross that threshold. Beyond being ugly I absolutely do not trust your food safety standards if you cut corners like that.

He's right. There is no problem that is solved by a new wave of expensive machines, from a consumer perspective. Games do not need to look more detailed than they do now, or 10 years ago for that matter.

I know Mank is well-regarded and Mindhunter is decent but you cannot tell me this man's career did not step off a cliff as soon as he signed with this company.

I dunno what the punishment is for perjuring yourself in order to discredit a survivor of sexual violence, but they should triple it. Whatever it is, just keep tripling it until the number sounds right.

I actually think Kyle Chandler would have made more sense as Joel from Last of Us. I could never fully buy Pedro as gruff survivor because his brand is too sweet and approachable. Chandler has a much better upper register of bitterness.

Tweed is such a beautiful fabric to wear this time of year because it produces, in Dolly Parton's phrasing, a coat of many colors. Even a solid-colored brown is not just brown, but bits of red, blue, and yellow to produce something that looks lifted off the Scottish landscape.

There are two photos taped together. The top shows a brown stone building with a brown thatched roof. It's surrounded by green grass, stone walkways, and blue-gray sea. Below is a checked brown tweed that reflects the colors in the landscape above it.

There are two photos taped together. The one at te top shows a rocky hillside with green and straw-colored grass, gray rocks, and a tan sandy beach below. The blue waters are crashing at the shore. Below is a green herringbone tweed that reflects the colors in the landscape above it.

There have been several (good) Predator movies in the last few years. Just let it sit for a few years until someone else comes along with something interesting to do with it.

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

One from the archives In 1984 Dunnes shop worker Mary Manning refused to handle South African goods & was backed by her shop steward, Karen Gearon. Both were suspended. 9 colleagues came out in support. The strike lasted 3yrs & forced the Irish govt to ban the import of all SA goods. All heroes

yeah, it's OK to be wrong, but why on earth is the point of a company that takes ten years to understand the basic realities their users face when there are plenty of perfectly competent semi companies making electric trucks?

On Thursday, Priestly offered a mea culpa. He called the original design “not sufficient” and revealed that the new Semi now has standard roll-down windows.

“We fully admit we were wrong about the windows,” he said. “Turns out there’s a lot of infrastructure in the world, whether it’s a badge reader, or your toll booth, or you’re talking to somebody on a call box. There’s all kinds of stuff right at that height, and it became evident that we needed a roll-down window in order to make that infrastructure easier to interface with.”

“It’s okay to be wrong, Dan,” Moravy added.

I saw this screenshot going around, found this detail charming, looked more into the game (I've never played a Silent Hill) & decided to buy it. Btw these are the "unimportant" background assets AI idiots think AI should be used for

Screenshot of a Twitter post by Val / @shegoingtogloat - it's a Silent Hill screenshot showing a close up of a cork board. On it, a paper says "Welcome to Shorefront Family Clinic" in a classic wiggly 3D font style. The tweet text is: Is this a Silent Hill asset made using PowerPoint lol"

The youngest person his pager attack killed was 9-year-old Fatima Abdullah, who had just started 4th grade. The pager was on a table when it went off and she picked it up to take to her dad. It exploded in her face and reports said it covered the room in her blood. She wanted to learn English.

The Facial Expressions of Tethys by artist Julius von Bismarck. A suspended high-sea buoy that moves in real time. Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves.

Alien: Isolation fans might like to know that its xeno-goo is splattered all over Silent Hill: Townfall. Using lo-fi gadgets to track enemies in atmospheric, convincingly lived-in, beautifully art directed environments. Using phones to save. Hiding in lockers. Reading emails on chunky old computers.
