This is so awesome. Makes me want to showcase my fantasy insect species and how they cultivate the telepathically sensitive symbiotic fungus inside them to shape how their bodies grow.

Highly recommend Macross Plus. I've yet to see a game that captures how a variable fighter moves in its entirety. It would basically involve making the most complex character controller in recent memory. One of the reasons I'm investigating/experimenting with such a thing >:3c

A key component of the Cambridge Analytica outrage was your friends subjecting you to data theft without your consent or knowledge. Facebook is running the same playbook on your text messages. Even if you’re not on Meta properties, they’re ingesting your interactions.

Aten installed Muse on both his iPhone and a Mac mini that he uses to test out various Al agents and tech. It took Meta a single day to begin "helpfully" pitching article ideas based on texts he'd sent to a podcast co-host.
When he asked Muse how it got the information, it said that it read banners from incoming texts. But that's not true, either.
After doing a little digging, Aten says Muse synced 187,000 lines from his Messages database, despite Full Disk Access being Off.

Unless Aten is the most popular person on the face of the planet, I sincerely doubt he'd gotten 187,000 lines of text in roughly 24 hours. What happened is that, without permission, Muse went into the app and downloaded the information.
He had not given Muse permission to access Messages, and full disk access was not enabled. It just went ahead and uploaded those texts anyway.
Muse can take "unexpected actions" indeed.

Leaving the remaining spots open while I edit. If you wanted to support splattering a corrupt megachurch, rescuing Jesus for Lucifer, THIS is the last chance. Core rules already in supporter hands, next segment coming soon! Read the thread, then get in on this NOW!: ko-fi.com/revcasey/shop

Black background, black and white + low color image of Jesus on the cross against a stone wall, money in the shape of the cross transparent overlaid on the crucified Jesus, blood red letters in an arc around and above it ("BLOOD.MONEY.GOSPEL"), white stamped letters in black area at bottom ("Written by Rev Casey" + "Published by Thought Punks")

The Gist
Jesus Christ came back. Of course He came back. He said He would. The problem is that He came back gentle and confused and asking questions about sparrows and rent prices.
Before He could get His bearings, Pastor Dominion Crale of the First Church of the Perpetual Tithe had Him zip-tied in an Escalade and driven to the compound in forty-seven minutes flat. That was eighteen months ago.
The main Cathedral now operates HIS PRECIOUS BLOOD™, a multi-level wellness sacrament pipeline moving vials of genuine messianic blood at a year’s Toronto/London/Paris professional’s salary per unit (Blessed Faithful Anointed Healing Moment™), the cost of a large luxurious home in Tokyo or NYC (Chosen Hosts Exclusive Miracles Package™), a tier only reachable by mega-millionaires and billionaires (The Perfected Saints Full Indulgence Membership™), and a newly launched Divine Disciples Triple Elite Plus Eternal Covenant™ option for the most wealthy that comes with a personal blessing, concierge,

They operate on artificial scarcity (above and beyond the limits of their gruesome extraction process). The First Church ensures that even the Eternal Covenant™ tier has a waiting list. Lower tier lottery winners can wait in line even through the night to receive their “blessings” on High Holy Days™. (Universal Love For All™ financing plans available.) The Vatican filed a complaint. It is in a drawer somewhere one guy has the keys to, and nobody’s seen him in a while. The SEC wrote a memo about drafting a proposal to explore a process to review the complaint. It’s in another drawer.
Jesus is in the Sanctum Sub-Basement, connected to the Eternal Harvest Array. He cannot die. He cannot leave. He has been patient about this. He waits, faithful, hoping, suffering. He waits for you.

You have been recruited by Lucifer. Yes, THAT Lucifer. (Please don’t call them “Satan” or “The Devil.” I would say if you value your life, but that is the least of what the Morningstar can take.)
Lucifer (pronouns variable and flexible, presentation business casual, stress beginning to show through the seams) sought you out personally. The pitch ran for almost two hours and included a PowerPoint with extensive citations.
The end of the pitch: “I know how this looks. I know you have questions. That’s too bad. It’s none of your business, really. What I need you to understand is this situation is more personally offensive to me than your little brain can grasp. I pursued every available channel for months. I am standing in this awful parking lot talking to you, exactly because there are no more channels. Please. You will be well-treated for your help. And I am asking nicely. I am… not good at asking nicely.”

I grabbed a frame from the video to make this chart that you can fill out when looking over your own and your friends' characters. It's great for giving feedback and understanding what aspects of a character the writer should lean into.

A chart for analyzing how much a character grabs and holds the attention of their audience, made from a screenshot of the youtube video "How To Fix A Boring Protagonist" by The Closer Look.

The upper half is "Primary Traits (Need at least one)," corresponding to Empathy, Intrigue, and Likeability. The lower half is "Catalyst Traits (Good to have at least one)," corresponding to Competency, Vicarious[ness], and Proactivity.

Do you have a player who always brings the same character vibe to every campaign? #ttrpg #dnd #rpg #meme #ttrpgsky #ttrpgcommunity

Image meme. Text reads: 'That one player who keeps playing the same exact character no matter what style campaign you are in...' Below are multiple images of the bear character Baloo from various Disney movies. Examples include Baloo dressed as Little John from Robin Hood, as a pilot from TaleSpin, and as himself from The Jungle Book.

Good read by @leifw.bsky.social on the problems of anthropomorphizing AI and obscuring human agency: www.nytimes.com/2026/10/01/o...

The reason this matters is that such anthropomorphic terms give us no ability to predict how the models will behave. Saying that models are “cheating” when they provide answers in the “wrong” way implies they are operating — or can operate — beyond the limits of human control. This, in turn, allows everyone to write off the accountability that clearly lies with the humans in charge of the process. In other industries, we might say that the companies in question committed a crime. The unusual thing here is that the companies are drawing a lot of attention to this fact.
