Character.ai's Bankruptcy Documents Show the Economics of AI Don't Work
Character.ai enshittified its product but was still burning tons of cash, its bankruptcy documents say.

I think Trek should probably just stay dead for good until it hits Public Domain, if I'm being entirely honest. Give a chance for something new for a change and all, y'know?

Pigeons in holes. Here there are n = 10 pigeons in m = 9 holes. Since 10 is greater than 9, the pigeonhole principle says that at least one hole has more than one pigeon. (The top left hole has 2 pigeons.)

this is the ultimate end point of capitalism, ai will completely atomize everyone and there will be zero shared experiences. there will be no culture, only pure consumption. this must be resisted

Aw man, that A2 version was perfect! Updated for modern sensibilities, but still recognisably based on the original! Shame they didn't go with that, but oh well. I'd say "no use crying over spilt milk", but y'know. Reptiles.

The Gorn warrior is wearing his traditional flexible rubber-like armour, shaped to resemble their ancient reptilian god of war. This armour is pliable for maximum manoeuvrability in battle and yet resilient to the most vicious of karate chops

You better not stray, You better comply; You better obey I'm telling you why, Yaskoydray is coming to town. His children did try, They put up a fight, Then they all found out, The extent of his might; Yaskoydray is coming to town.

You better watch out, You better not cry; You better not doubt, I'll tell you just why: Yaskoydray is coming to town. He's making a list, He's checking it twice; He's figuring whose genes, He's going to splice Yaskoydray is coming to town.

And on the topic of useful software for worldbuilding; Spacesim, similarly on steam, has recently added a stellar evolution module to its very extensive library of simulators. What I find particularly useful is that it simulates ZAMS stars, and you can specify the X, Y, Z (H, He, Metals) fractions!

Arguably the greatest crime in the laundry list of crimes against SGU is the fact that its original soundtrack was never released. It was Joel Goldsmith's last work before his passing away and it is INCREDIBLE.

If you can spare the change, consider helping SETI's MARBLE mission get funded! From the Moon's orbit this cubesat would observe our home and create a reference of what it would look like from light-years away; so that if we one day spot another Earth out there, we can tell what we're looking at!

I've been reading through the New Generation Planet Population Synthesis series of papers by Emsenhuber et al about the Generation III Bern Model, and it's a treasure trove of info on core accretion. Highly recommend!

In 1956 the late great PETER CUSHING invited a film crew into his Kensington home to show off his hobby — painting miniature toy soldiers, and playing with them in the rules set down by fellow toy soldier hobbyist H.G. Wells.

The Facial Expressions of Tethys by artist Julius von Bismarck. A suspended high-sea buoy that moves in real time. Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves.

would you like to meet our new cat? her name is All The Fur I Brushed Off Madeleine Over The Summer
A pile of cat fur arranged into a loosely cat-shaped mound; two ears have been pinched into shape, and two googly eyes have been attached in the place where the eyes would be. It is sitting against a green wall, and it is very wrong to the eye.
