the negative effects AI is having on software is gonna be something we have to deal with for a very long time, even if it stops today. you can already see the effects in well-known vibe coded sites like bluesky and github that run like shit nowadays, but its incredibly pervasive throughout tech

By the time this merger ruins HBO, destroys WB, gets 5,000 people fired, moves production overseas, and guts the quality of the movies the new studio makes, most people will have forgotten how fast the AGs caved and how little they got in this deal. Writers will not.

It is my humble duty to explain: The parts of marketing that are super visible, like ARGs, flashy stands at Gamescom, or deluxe boxes of merch sent to creators are lovely. but they're the tip of the iceberg of what marketing work is, and they don't do anything without the foundations:

This summer Britain burnt. 3000 people died from the heat. Yet this Government is drilling for more gas, despite scientist warnings & it won't make a difference to bills in the UK. We need to double down on renewables, not bend to the wishes of fossil fuel bosses. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

One of the first "outrageous" claims I saw as Jason Arday's media hounding unfolded was that he ran 30 marathons in 35 days! Wow! What a thing to claim! And the newspapers all suggested there was no evidence he actually did it. Well, they clearly didn't look very hard 🙄 🧵 1/26

PC master race. 😏 Honestly though, this is so sad. I guarantee the vision for the PS was a balance between making a fair amount of money and providing a fun toy. I'd even say it tended towards the fun. I loved my PS and I still love my PS4, but Sony are going down a road I can't follow.

this image is of a classic meme which features a highway and a large green sign in the distance showing the path forward and a turn to the right, the path forward is marked with something really bad and the turn to the right is marked "161 ROYALTY FREE AND GOOD SONGS FOR $20" and there is a car steering violently to the right with the tag "YOU, I HOPE", that's it thats the image I hope you enjoyed this description, also the car is blue.

Insane new research. Scientists gave asthma patients free electric stoves to replace their gas stoves, then checked to see if symptoms improved. Not only did symptoms improve, ditching gas was *better than medicine.* Details in today's newsletter: www.climatecoloredgoggles.com/p/electric-s...

Researchers used electric stoves to treat asthma. It worked.
