Oh how I long to run away with the circus. At least I have managed to somehow find game dev work that is pretty much as carnie adjacent as one can get. 😂

If you ever wonder how misaligned with reality the AI hype is with game dev, today I was reminded of a meeting where an AI bro tried to convince me his LLM tool would help games studios save money cus now they "don't have to hire 50 narrative designers". My guy, where you getting your information?

Saw a job opening for puppeteer in a touring show and I'm going to be thinking about it all day. (I love my job and it would not be a practical lifestyle for me...but I guess I long for the open road?)

I've found that the struggle with loan words usually hits around the intermediate stage. They've learned how to pronounce a word they already know in their acquired language and internalize that as "correct" instead of "different" But "correct" is the pronunciation of the language you're speaking

This is awesome. I'm glad that graphic novel versions of so many works exist now! I'm also dyslexic and would like to add that audio books are awesome. Some books I would never get through reading with my eyes but have been very important to me after listening to them.

Itō Jakuchū's 'Frog' of 1790 for me is the iconic image of numbed uncomfortable bafflement at the predicament of existence in the coming modern world, much as Munch's 'Scream' expressed it through horror.

Oh no, hopefully nothing too awful? Also I know for myself, being good during emergencies generally means I have a bunch of processing to do after the emergency has passed. 🫂

The image is of a four panel comic.
In the first panel we see Sarah, the protagonist, next to a stick figure labeled “AI”. The stick figure says, “my outputs look just like yours now.”
The second panel zooms in on Sarah’s face. Above her we see text reading “I think”.
The third panel zooms in closer on Sarah’s face. Text above her reads “you missed”.
The fourth panel shows Sarah drawing happily in a sunlit room. The text above her reads “the point”.

I liked the concept of how the aliens evolved and their culture with the unstable system....also the wallfacer concept was an interesting answer of how can you plot against an enemy who can see/hear everything. (This is all from the books though)

A.I. versions of cute animal videos are NOT the worst thing one can make with A.I. But they feel so immensely, deeply infuriating, because the entire appeal of cute animal videos is something cute, wholesome, and heartwarming *actually happening.* Their reality IS THE POINT.
