In such contrast to literally everyone else who will sell you a Switch 2 Edition upgrade for $10 and then also require you to keep the Switch 1 cartridge in to play.

If you have Switch 1 physical version of Witcher 3 you just download update, launch the game, click the “Remastered now available for Switch 2” button in the main menu, and then it opens eShop where you just add the Remastered version to your account for free. No cartridge needed afterward. Amazing.

Well, we did it. We signed up for Costco membership and visited a Costco Warehouse for the first time. I don’t know, man, felt rite of passage-y.

My dreams often end abruptly without a resolution or a clean conclusion, and usually that’s fine albeit disappointing. But the ones where I lose / get separated from my son and wake up before I find / reunite with him? Oh man, those nightmares wreck me.

Pay attention Dems. Gov Beshear won twice, in a deep red state, and never threw trans people under the bus. He led with compassion rather than the fear and cowardice we've seen from some of our Ohio candidates and party leadership.

I think something not emphasized enough is that OpenAI is subsidizing this. It’s not like they create the agent and then it’s a self-sufficient guy who runs amok. Every time the agent’s little brain says “it’s cyberattackin’ time!” OpenAI pays like a few cents and a drop of water.

Okay so these aren’t my top 9 favorite but they’re probably my top 9 formative? Or at least these were some of my key gaming experiences as a teenager that probably had some kind of shaping effect on me as a person? That’s how I interpreted the prompt

A 3 by 3 grid of video game covers

My 9 games that shaped who I am
- Curse of monkey island
- the sims
- Team Fortress 2
- Star Wars knights of the old republic 1 and 2
- Mass Effect
- Heroes of Might and Magic 2
- grand theft auto Vice City
- Max Payne

The plan: Build a 200-room, 300-bathroom data center, 70% subsidized by federal and local governments. Make it accessible to the train. Build a supermarket for the 800 people doing 24/7 on-site maintenance. Call it the future of technology. Make OpenAI pay for the rest. Then let people move in.

Whatever the quality of the final Control Resonant experience ends up being, we’ll always have this sick trailer cut to The Prodigy - Omen. Control Resonant being bad won’t negate that.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but just fucking don’t film or photograph strangers who are just minding their business and not hurting anyone. I don’t care if they’re dressed weird, or “faking disabled” (they probably aren’t), or are adorable together. Just don’t.

while smiling! Gavin Newsom literally dressed up in his best Bad Boy™️ attire, invited the press, and smiled as he destroyed everything these constituents had in the world. Gavin Newsom is not a bad candidate; Gavin Newsom is truly, at his core, a bad and despicable human being.

It really is striking how many authoritarian states have ended up in this exact same place, where the leader seizes control of scientific inquiry. Lysenkoism in the Soviet Union, Aryan Physics in the Third Reich, Great Leap Forward (also related to Lysenko) in China.

There’s gotta be a better way to do recommendation systems than Instagram’s “oh you liked that one reel? Here’s 24 hours of nonstop feed of reels exactly like it or about that same thing” and Amazon’s “oh you bought that thing that people buy once in a blue moon? Wanna buy another one right away?”

I’m sorry but…what? They were selling other people’s content to each other???

According to another portion of the motion that was unredacted on Thursday, on top of copying stories to teach LLMs to cook up content that looks a lot like news, the companies illicitly copied
"billions of web pages" for "horse trading"-like deals
- meaning they sold the content to each other rather than licensing it from the news organizations. Microsoft did not address a question about the allegation.

I would like media to care more about the reality that tech tycoons want to kill people than what they’re imagining about AI wanting to kill people. We have multi-millionaires (with support from billionaires!) calling for ethnic cleansing, a thing that has happened in living memory. Not theoretical!

"Your brains stop developing at age 25" was a press misrepresentation of a study. They wanted to see if brains continued to develop after adolescence, so the study was capped at age 25. A later study with a wider subject pool showed that brains are ALWAYS developing our whole lives.

Not sure if people know Wakefield was trying to sell a competing measles vaccine when he made up his fraudulent study about the MMR. It was only after that failed (because he is a complete fraud) that he started grifting off opposing all vaccines. It’s all just a grift. Antivaxxers are their marks.

It's official: The EPA has repealed a rule that would have directly saved thousands of lives by limiting fossil fuel emissions from power plants. Industry lobbyists successfully pushed for this repeal using surging demand from data centers as justification. The government chose AI over human lives.

RFK Jr. has decided to change the way measles deaths are counted at the CDC. As @drdebhoury.bsky.social says in this article by @melodyschreiber.com: “The change doesn’t make any sense”. It only makes sense if you’re RFK Jr. and you desperately need to manipulate data to hide your malfeasance.
