You can now play Project Zomboid in first and third person 😳 The PZ3D mod moves the camera right onto the character, turning the familiar isometric view into a full 3D action game. The dev relies on the open modding architecture, though... #SteamAndEpic #Project #Zomboid #Leave #PZ3D #Architecture

Okay so I've built a new Atlas, this time it lets you explore the conversations on Bluesky over the past 7 days graphically. It should update every ~6 hours and help you navigate the information environment that exists on here. I've learned a LOT about what people do here today... atlas.jazco.dev

A living map of what Bluesky is talking about: the past week's conversations, grouped into topics and regions and rebuilt every six hours.

Now that AI models are encoding a marker to identify AI generated content, the logical extension is permanent license and monetization of all generated content. Better read the terms of service of any AI model you're using very carefully.

The best part of being an artist is that you can just draw whatever dumb idea comes to your head at 1am

A scene parodying the Neon Genesis Evangelion scene of Asuka and her Eva unit getting pierced by the spear of longinus. In this scene, Linguini and Remy from Pixar's Ratatouille take the place of the EVA unit and Asuka respectively. Linguinis eye is pierced by a fork version of the spear and Remy is depicted in an inset where he is grabbing his eye and screaming like the anime. There are anime subtitles at the bottom that say "AHHHHHHHHH!"

Seriously, get gambling, legal or otherwise, the phuck out of sports. Now, before it’s too late. It’s entirely possible gambling could be the undoing of sports as we know them. There are too many bad actors, including people and athletes involved in and around sports, who could ruin it for everyone.

So basically, if you actually do ANYTHING of note using OpenAI models, OpenAI can burn compute time to beat you to the finish line. That is literally what happened.

"The Euler writeup, in particular, can only be described as AI slop. I am sorry for this" Imagine being forced into academic shame because the Tech company you paid for compute time stole your research.

The only valid criticism I'll accept of the OOT remake until it's released or play reviewed is how expensive it is. The rest is just content mill farming nostalgia (positive and negative).

Hang on. Did OpenAI really steal research on the Navier Stokes equations and then bully the researchers so they could publish it themselves?
