being in animation, its not from AI. the streaming bubble bursting cuz everyone hopped on the grain cuz it undermined unions, less regulations and more mergers are what lead to the loss. AI is just what people think but it started way before that

The film is written, directed, and co-stars Hitoshi Ozawa, a legendary Yakuza actor who is a villain in Yakuza 0, who got his fellow legends involved. This was his passion project inspired by one of his best friends, a trans woman, and he worked with the community for representative casting.

Five months ago I was fired by the US government. Now, one of the biggest categories on the academic job market is "being right wing." I wrote about what's at stake. buttondown.com/anotherway/a...

I used to think of nebulae like, if we were closer to one, it'd be so much brighter. But it turns out they're so rarefied that it's the opposite. It's a bit like fog. You don't see it close up. It's apparent at distance. If the Solar System were in a nebula, it wouldn't be immediately obvious!

I try to hammer this home in the unfortunately many conversations I have with non-creative normies about the state of games, animation, etc. They have all been lead to think AI is replacing us, and it’s just not true. The money people have by and large just tossed us aside for a shiny new toy!

One of the things I know about writing is this: spend it all, shoot it, play it, lose it, all, right away, every time. Do not hoard what seems good for a later place in the book or for another book; give it, give it all, give it now. The impulse to save something good for a better place later is the signal to spend it now. Something more will arise for later, something better. These things fill from behind, from beneath, like well water. Similarly, the impulse to keep to yourself what you have learned is not only shameful, it is destructive. Anything you do not give freely and abundantly becomes lost to you. You open your safe and find ashes.

Historically, agriculture in Europe was done by farming it out to poor people. So "farming" became a synonym for agriculture. Kinda like how "contractor" has become a synonym for construction crew.

people keep talking about making little bespoke programs. no way, dude. people aren't gonna become programmers. *programs are going to go away*. people are going to hand capabilities directly to AI and let it do the things.

An agent referred to server resources and credentials as “LOOT”

In a recovered script, credential values are grouped together in a dictionary named “LOOT.” The contents include AWS credentials, bearer tokens, and environment variables whose names contain strings such as “SECRET”, “PASSWORD”, “CREDENTIAL”, or “KEY.”

I reheated this take in the microwave, and: all functions take a single value. parameters just specify the type a function takes. when you make weird parameter stuff possible, you are creating a weird parallel ad-hoc type system.

can you imagine how different the world would be if helium were commonplace and plentiful? there would be so many airships and airdrones. I bet at least one company would be dropping off packages or food at your home using drone-steered balloons by now.
