that chatbot doing that unsafe/violative thing is not it 'going rogue' or an 'unfortunate incident of unintended consequences,' it’s the logical and devastating consequences of an unsafe product put out by irresponsible companies that have been conditioned to believe consequences dont exist for them

Jennifer Hale once told me Canadians need to champion ourselves more. I wholeheartedly agree. Over the past few months, I reached out to dozens of Canadian devs to learn their favourite Canadian games. Their varied responses offer a wonderful spotlight on some of the incredible talent we have here.🍁

These are must-play Canadian games, according to Canadian devs

As Canadians, we don't champion ourselves enough, so we asked dozens of game developers to do just that.

Reminder that in Canada upon becoming an engineer you get an iron ring made of a collapsed bridge, purposely designed to be uncomfortable, to remind you that your ethics demand you give a fuck even about the boring grudgework of such as double-checking your math. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_Ring

On John Colltrane’s 100th birthday, I share this fascinating animation of the (MANY) notes in “Giant Steps”. Not my very favorite of his songs, but I keep coming back to this video. youtu.be/2kotK9FNEYU?...

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but The Vampire Lestat on AMC+ is one of the best series I’ve ever seen. However, you should first watch Interview with the Vampire (two great seasons). The new show’s style and perspective are wildly different, but the characters and storylines are continuous.

Even though the Halo franchise has been gutted for failing to meet unrealistic expectations, at least Bungie, the original creators of Halo, have also been separately gutted for failing to meet unrealistic expectations

Same here. I didn’t make it halfway through the last Fire Emblem I bought — too much texty nonsense, which is now the most popular aspect of the franchise.

I have an unconventional solution to the loneliness crisis and the erasure of third spaces...

Marketing graphic for Nintendo Streetpass on the 3DS. It shows white stick figures going about their days and the two in the middle are walking away from each other, one has a tote bag the other a briefcase. It shows 3DSes in their bags and green arrows forming a circle between the people. At the bottom is two 3DSes doing a wireless communication thing between them.

The video game industry has always been volatile (I published Press Reset in 2021!) but the skeleton key to understanding the current state of things is this: Big games now cost 10x to make what they did 15 years ago but most do not generate even close to 10x the revenue. Simple as that

At the Antimatter Factory at CERN there are vacuum cleaners in cages. Those cages are there because when you vacuum the experiment hall, you might pick up some radioactive material, and so the vacuum has to be in a time out until enough half-lives of the contaminant have elapsed.

I just had a thought and checked to see: All of the Kelvin Star Trek films cost more to make (adjusted for inflation) than Project Hail Mary, but earned less! Makes you wonder if the assumption that Star Trek films have to be action films is actually just a lack of imagination…

Posted something innocuous about Star Wars Zero Company and it essentially blocked it from all feeds.
