To be fair, corporations were always shit. Half-assed games have existed for quite a long time too. We just never cared about them.

Don't worry, they will buy a third-party plugin that kind of works and immediatly discontinue it!

Someone at Unity actually approved this clusterfuck 🙃 Its pure comedy and I would be laughing, but unfortunately is yet another nail in the coffin of the tool I used for 14 years

The new firefox update looks terrible. If you're like me and want to go back: 1 Enter "about:config" on the navigation bar. 2 Look for "nova" 3 Disable "browser.nova.enabled" 4 Reset firefox.

Esto es fundamental. Un fan de Dr Who que sueña con que la serie tenga factura Disney es como el fan de Chimo Bayo (Dr whoo ha) que desea que sus temas tengan más letra.

The image is of a four panel comic.
In the first panel we see Sarah, the protagonist, next to a stick figure labeled “AI”. The stick figure says, “my outputs look just like yours now.”
The second panel zooms in on Sarah’s face. Above her we see text reading “I think”.
The third panel zooms in closer on Sarah’s face. Text above her reads “you missed”.
The fourth panel shows Sarah drawing happily in a sunlit room. The text above her reads “the point”.

This is almost precisely what Emily was saying when OpenAI had claimed that got-2 was "too dangerous to release" circa 2019-2020 so that you understand how long we've had to fight the press performing propaganda-as-news services.

Straight talk time: Doomerism is BORING. It's the same fantasties rehashed over and over again, just louder each time. And with each iteration it seems that new audiences are being reached, and a new group of people needs to be talked down from unnecessary fear. >>

We throw newbs in a pit. We tell them they must be competitive auteurs from day one, and that they’re disposable. Young professionals need space to learn. Apprenticeships and junior roles. They don’t know what they don’t know. We need entry level jobs. We’re moving in the opposite direction.

That GTA VI reveal is the end result of just so much hard work and graft from so many, many people. Worth remembering that graft and those people as we enter September and see the union recognition discussions come to a head in the UK and of course, the employment tribunal finally gets underway 🌱

Three panel comic. Panel 1: person who has post-op bandages wrapped around their nose, nervously holding someone’s hand. Another speaker off panel says, “alright… let’s get these bandages off.” Panel 2: the person is gleefully looking at themself in a handheld mirror, their friends are overjoyed. Their new nose is a gigantic, elongated and pointed sword shape. Panel 3: they are jumping out of the ocean with a smile on their face, in unison with two swordfish who are also breaching the water.

Three panel comic. Panel 1: people standing at the barrier for a race track, watching as the cars race around the bend toward them. A man says, “here he comes… MACH 5 MONKEY!” Panel 2: in a split second moment which feels like an eternity, Mach 5 Monkey (a mandrill wearing sunglasses, steering the car with his foot) passes by and glances over his shades at an attractive young woman in the crowd. Panel 3: as the cars veer away, kicking up wind and dust, the crowd goes bananas. The young woman blushes and thinks, “he looked at me…”
