one of the most heated discussions on X is about the ethics of a project in which a person is running Saw-like “torture” and “pain” experiments on a series of locally hosted LLMs, sparking a wildly tiresome conversation about AI consciousness and the idea of “model welfare"... time 2 log off

Someone ‘Torturing’ LLMs in a Robot Prison Has Triggered the Dumbest Debate in AI Yet

The "AI Torture Chamber" has opened an upsetting and absurd window into the effective altruist obsession with "model welfare."

I was worried if my comic is perhaps too self indulgent, but then I remembered the words of Björk and now I need to make it even more self indulgent 🥰

About 10 hours remaining as of this post. For me this game is the defining Double Fine game. Every single aspect of the game is crafted with intention; even if you're not into metal, the love that went into this game is impressive. Do yourself a favour and pick this up for free!

“It also detected an “unintended consequence” of the ban: the proportion of parents who didn’t know their child had used social media increased by 10%.” Well who could have possibly seen that happening.

Among all the many, many infuriating things about LLMs, perhaps less talked about is the harvesting of physical books. Not to preserve for future, but just as grist for the slop mill. So fuck you if you wanted to buy secondhand books in the future I guess? fossacademic.tech/2026/07/30/p...

more information on how layoffs have impacted microsoft studios continues to trickle out. today I've confirmed that blizzard china suffered layoffs, and id software lost around half its staff just as it released dlc that required "significant" crunch

“Today was actually the launch of our DLC for Doom: The Dark Ages,” a current id employee told Aftermath. “What was supposed to be a celebratory day after a long effort including significant crunch is now largely a day of mourning. Entire teams have been gutted or even outright eliminated, with institutional knowledge lost that can't be replaced. I don't even know our ability to put out fixes for today's launch if they are needed, let alone new projects.”

“All but one person who helped run all our old titles was let go,” they added. “Passionate fans of id since before working there trying to keep our legacy alive now won't be able to do so, and for some that has been as painful as the job loss itself.”
