Excuse me, Lego, but da Vinci was famously left-handed.

Picture of a lego instruction booklet for the Leonardo da Vinci's Flying Machine set 10363. The user is instructed to build da Vinci's minifig model with a quill in his right hand. This is famously incorrect. No writing is visible; these booklets rely almost entirely on pictures.

Picture of the constructed set with da Vinci's minifig holding his quill in his left hand, as he mostly would have.

I lost my shit when I noticed this, then I looked it up and found out @scalzi.com was a creative consultant on this show. It's such a good show and I love they gave him his own little easter egg.

Listening back to the first @knowledgefight.bsky.social episode, about 41 minutes in, there's Alex denying Trump's connection to "Gerry Epstein". The guys didn't pick up on it at the time, but it was startling to hear in an episode from 2017. He always knew which way he would break on this info.

Not a shitpost: #NoKings is feel-good performative activism for comfortable mostly upper and upper middle class white folks and that’s good, actually. Millions of people in the streets protesting a fascist regime is good. It is good for the normie baseline to be massive displays of public dissent.

There is one fundamental truth about mutual aid, and it always shocks people: YOU MUST BREAK THE LAW IN ORDER TO ACTUALLY HELP PEOPLE. This truth alone should radicalize you. The more you work on scale, branding, recognition, institutional funding, the harder it becomes to actually help people.

youtu.be/NtZaP8VMv0c I think a better experiment design would be to get a loop of chain into a steady-state with a lot of energy before releasing it, rather than releasing it with almost no energy. That would make unintenional movements have a lot less impact on the movement of the thing.

The most annoying part of Bill Burr's response to all this is the pretense, like he wouldn't immediately roast anybody else who tried to play this dumb. "Are you really gonna sit there and act like you don't get it? Course people are pissed, what'd you expect? You want a fuckin parade, you hero?"

Humble Bundle's latest AI-based bundle has ditched the generated promo images of their previous bundle and has instead gone with the most generic tech book covers in history. These people wrote the book on AI for marketing and they know they can't use it in their marketing.

Several incredibly bland tech book covers, most notably "Machine Learning and Generative AI for Marketing" and "The AI Value Playbook". The "art" is not worth describing. It's mostly incredibly boring abstract lines, one or two are suggestive of the idea of architecture and one is just a photo of cable cars, I suppose to invoke the idea of "ascent". It is slop, probably made by humans, but slop nontheless. At least none of these images immediately make me smell cheap 80s mcdonalds toy plastic offgassing or burning circuitboards, which is the best way I can describe the experience of looking at AI slop images.

I'm definitely not saying that anti-robot slurs are hate crimes, but I will say that when someone in a marginalised group sees you saying "clanker" or "wireback", some of them will wonder how easy those words fit in your mouth, and you might want to think about that.

I've not heard anyone talk about how this happened, but my personal theory is that LLMs have only learned to trick people into thinking they're helpful, because that's a lot easier than actually being helpful. arstechnica.com/ai/2025/07/s...

A screenshot of the game Unfair Flips, where you just flip a coin repeatedly, and can unlock improvements to the coin, including its odds. In the screenshot, flip speed, heads combo and coin worth are all maxed out, and the heads chance is 50%. The option to upgrade to higher heads chance is greyed out, and I will not be purchasing further upgrades thank you.

I genuinely have ditched the entire concept of "deserve" for this reason. Like what does it achieve that "need" doesn't achieve better? I'd be happy if all talk of deservedness was shelved until everyone has their needs met. People need food & shelter, not dessert.
