I always like how those CRT superiority posts keep using the worst connection type possible, assuming they're not faked in the first place

I frequently see "AI" boosters implying that LLMs are simply an innate and superior part of coding now, inescapable, and that literally all programmers agree with them. And, well. That, too, is a form of propaganda

Looking at my software peers in 2026 I see fatigued faces, I see frustration, and I see a lot of people looking for a way out of an industry that seems poised on the brink of collapse. LLMs are being pushed on us at every turn, most people seem at best frustrated by them, and ultimately they seem to appeal most to people who see the production of software as a purely mechanical means to an end. They are antithetical, however, to the idea of software as a craft, or something requiring both initial and ongoing care. As an expression of the soul.

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.

If you see 'Super Mario Bros 0.3' among some shareware and demos on an Apple II GS hard disk image, then it's something that must be immediately investigated. And oh yes, it's as cursed as I hoped it'd be.

"Reviewing an AI made translation" is like repairing a trainwreck VS building a new train from scratch. If you want the end result to be shiny and neat, you're better off just building it new from scratch.

the need for professional modelmakers for film was highlighted by Kubrick's 2001 and gave birth to the world's first (and only, for c20y) industrial modelmaking course, which i was lucky enough to get onto. a groundbreaking film in 2001 ways

Work-in-progress screenshot showcasing strange plants in the overworld. There are spindly trees coming from a big water source with even thinner branches that end in little flowers that drip dewdrops, and fern-like foliage that block parts of the map to emulate a dense forest.
