I just think that it's very considerate of an 'AI filmmaker' to showcase his lack of understanding of a film whilst also surprisingly aptly comparing the acceptance of AI to visiting Willy Wonka's shop of horrors.

Humans conduct experiments by putting mirrors in front of various creatures looking for the self-recognition that would inform us of the animal's intelligence, but then some grifters shove us into a hall of mirrors and we can't even recognise ourselves.

It's too early in my day for me to be pondering whether multiple apocalypses could happen (though my media learning does tell me that apocalypses can come in a variety of flavours - robot; zombie; plant monster; etc).

I think the game's artist Yoshitaka Tamaki sometimes used that character as his avatar?

If an AI™ goes out of control I'm sure that it will be because of the incompetence of humans and not because of the superintelligence of the software. People were talking about the ELIZA effect decades ago and with the improvements in tech I don't know why it wouldn't be more potent today.

It's amazing how in the NFT age they would have tried to sell this drivel, but in the AI™ slop age they just give it away for free.

I wish they'd do a proper remaster to replace the version that's currently available on Steam and GOG. ... and maybe if they do that they'll remember that the sequel needs making.

If I had to make a gender binary then I would make one of the two genders 'nonbinary' because I can't resist being obtuse.

Found a manhwa panel with these runes that are obviously supposed to resemble the word 'flame': Acomng?

I think that most people probably haven't heard of the numbat, which gives me the excuse to share this great news from just last week: youtu.be/VDj_Z0_Nj4Q

Thank you very much for the honour! While much of the ogham in the book came from @stoutstoat.co.uk and I, so much of it ALSO came from our wonderful team of artists! There is ogham crammed into every corner of this book - can you spot them all? 👀🏺 (1/4)

Been reading the webtoon and it feels like a fairly standard action manhwa to me - World where a guy has to go through levels of a dungeon/tower with all the usual video game RPG mechanics only this time the guy has a pet cat. I'm guessing it would more be popular for the humour and the characters?

Reminds me of the mechanisms that 戯れ工作室 makes. They've made one like that cat and mouse one and variations on that mechanism with different themes. I especially like their push puppets. youtu.be/XyaxRYJswkw

Yes, but I doubt that the *name* 'gunpowder' is older than guns. They could have easily gone for an alternative name like 'black powder'.

robertskitch @robertskitch.bsky.social · 05/06/2026

Sometimes I think about the fact that Minecraft has 'andesite' which means that the Andes mountain range exists somewhere in the game. But then it's also a game with 'gunpowder' but the devs have explicitly ruled out adding guns.

The isometric view and small town next to large dungeon had me thinking that maybe it was Light Crusader for the Mega Drive.

Obviously least qualified is Donkey Kong teaching music. The Donkey Kong music game of the trio didn't even make it to release. Of course that could just have been due to the Famicom microphone's technical limitations, or possible music licensing issues, and not DK's teaching qualifications...

Talking about the evolution of railway crossing signals from electromechanical to electronic reminds me of this article I read about the evolution of ice cream van chimes (it was referenced on the ice cream van Wikipedia page). web.archive.org/web/20090205...

Apparently it's called a 'turret truck'? That's a good name. I'm not at all tempted looking at the 1:32 scale plastic model kits...

Found the relevant Wikipedia page: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lister_... Looks like they were making some version of the thing from the '20s and maybe into the '90s? The one in the picture looks to be from after '75 given it's branded DP and it looks like it was around then they bought the design.

I am pretty sure anything that Boston Dynamics says wouldn't ever mean anything anyways when it comes to robots made by an entirely different company. That's a Go2 robot made by Unitree.

I don't know what the instructions for disabling a Boston Dynamics Spot are supposed to do when the robot is probably a Unitree Go2
