You always see comments like this whenever anyone talks about Chinese electric vehicles, as if the strategy wasn't lifted directly from every single American megatech monopoly.

For almost a year the largest project I have been working on is building support for non-Puzzmo games on @puzzmo.com Ribbit was built in 90% of that system, and Hue Complete Me was 100% in it. A month ago I ported the Crossword to it. Got a game? We're exploring opening up bsky.app/profile/stfj...

i've spent the last eight months working on EA's FC 27, and today you can officially buy it and play it! on a semi-related note, my contract ends in four months. do YOU need a sound designer or implementer in four months? let's talk about it!

How did we implement the ambiences for Big Walk? @nicholaszhangaudio.bsky.social manually drew poly lines for all the different biomes and rivers, and built tools to detect shorelines and scatter positions. Most of it is done before the game even runs, and then we just blend between stored values!

I am clinically burned out rn (self inflicted). it SUCKS. It is the primary reason I demoted myself--I could feel myself becoming a liability. Pro-crunch lunatics need to ask themselves if they want an entire team of potential liabilities cuz that is what you're gonna get.

My dad got a deal on a pile of used (built) lego sets. I got to prying them apart so my kids could play & it's apparent it isn't the creative toy I grew up with. these are model kits. Giant bin full of weirdo single-use pieces & not enough regular bricks to build a little house.

werner herzog on AI filmmaking (from here www.indiewire.com/features/int...)
Q: A couple years ago at IDFA, I saw this movie "About a Hero," which is this partly Al-generated hybrid documentary that tries to recreate the atmosphere of your films.

A: The intention of this young filmmaker was never to remake any [of my films], but making something in the spirit. And I immediately said, "You will fail. It is such a stupid idea. It's phenomenally, abysmally stupid. I will not take part in it." He wanted me to explain things and have my voice in it.
I said, "You are alone. There's such a thing as free speech, which I respect. So go ahead and fail." And it is a failure, period.
It's so standardized that Al can step in because there's not real storytelling. It's mimicry of something that has happened before. And I welcome Al to replace all the idiots who are into nothing but repeating, repeating, repeating until it's ad nauseam.
When it's ad nauseam, please, please, please let Al step in and do the job.

As someone who knows a thing or two about dialogue capture--the capture technology these TVs are using to spy on their customers is unbelievable. They can legibly hear MUCH more than another person physically standing in your own home would.

This is insane. LG TVs: - record audio & text convert all conversations in your home at all times up to 70ft away - log every smart device in your home - record what you're watching - records when disconnected from internet, saves until reconnected m.youtube.com/watch?v=6IFV...

Thought it would be fun to take the kids fossil hunting. I have never been more right about anything in my life. Fossil hunters: finding this ammonite just sitting on a shale pile felt like beginners' luck. How hard should we be tempering our expectations? Any tips?
