This is the funniest thing I've seen today, possibly ever

A tweet by SarahStarberry that says "oh god read the vertical axis" on top of a chart measuring AI models' release dates and model numbers rather than any real capabilities

Finally, the architect of gamergate and the man who effectively ushered in the Trumpist era of politics, has had a taste of his own medicine. If only there was some contrition for the role he played in the upending of society.

Tragically, I take great pride in being the first booking in the screen for this 40th anniversary screening of the greatest animated movie of all time. For WWE fans, you can imagine me saying that exactly how Liv Morgan does. www.tiktok.com/@slammygirlk...

The Odyssey then, it's decent, it's also not all that. You'll most likely enjoy it though, so maybe go to the cinema for it.

I am happier knowing I don't give two fruity figs about GTA VI and don't need to rob a bank to pay for it either. I can't for one second imagine it's going to do anything revolutionary for games.

If you want to know why everyone in the UK has been a bit grouchy, it's because it's been too hot for a cup of tea. Tomorrow looks like it might be cool enough for the first cup of tea all week. Setting the alarm early.

See this rainbow logo malarky. Just know that it's not tokenism as far as Sainsbury's is concerned. We live and breathe it every day. No rollback of inclusivity is going to happen here and we will fight to ensure it never does, regardless of the prevailing political winds.

If I'm generous, about a 3rd of the He-Man movie worked for me. The idea is absolutely fine, the execution is extremely hit and miss; and more miss for me. It probably needed to go full on camp, but was too scared to. Plus, you seriously have to question any movie where Jared Leto is the highlight.

If you like horror movies, you're spoilt for choice at the moment. Both Obsession and Hokum are top tier entries in the genre. I suspect Obsession will hit harder for men.

If you don’t follow Wrestling, and I know a lot of you don’t, there’s a great story going on now in Triple AAA, a Mexican promotion that was bought by WWE a year ago. It involves these 2 guys, Ludwig Kaiser and Chad Gable

Ludwig Kaiser a tall, thin, muscular, very German looking wrestler in little trunks

Chad Gable, a short, stocky, cauliflower-eared muscular man in a little red white and blue singlet

ULEZ and AI at work for the UK Government, providing value in incorrectly identifying cars. Neither the photo or the incorrect translation of the reg are my car. CD64 VPV isn't even a valid number plate. And yet, with all of these errors, they didn't hesitate to incorrectly auto-bill me. Fabulous!

The British electorate has voted in large numbers to boot out Labour, reasoning that “things can’t get any worse”, despite copious evidence from around the world that they absolutely can. From the new Private Eye, in shops now.

I know the consumers of games are very anti-AI use in games, but is that just its use in the artistic elements or the programming elements too? Are games developers avoiding both because of the backlash from the customers; or just the artistic?

Very pleased that MK held all it's LD councillors and Reform won't have a tangible impact. I expect they'll all sit on their hands claiming their salary and doing bugger all.

Today was my last day at Google. I have made a conscious choice of leaving for better. I am looking forward to spending more time with my kids, family and friends. I am looking forward to not yelling at my kiddo when he comes into my office because I am still busy until 7 PM due to some broken shit. Because we no longer have a sensible software engineering process and everything is rushed.
I am also looking forward to sleeping through the night without getting paged at 2 AM! Why and for what you ask? Because a job that, I kid you not, literally needed 2 CPUs and 20GB of RAM could not start for some time. It was starved for 2 CPUs, when God knows how many hours of CPU and RAM resources are going into GenAl! I had to get up to get an emergency loan and ensure the job runs fine. And then not be able to go back to sleep until 5-6AM.
Furthermore, I am looking forward to thinking for myself and gaining some autonomy, rather than taking product and technical decisions made up by higher-ups and executives (who are probably using Al for those decisions) and feeding them to Al to generate garbage. This has become absolutely meaningless to me very quickly over the past year. I don't want to be just another execution arm for someone else.
Trust me, I am not against Al. Heck, I have a masters in Al. I use a lot of GenAl myself, but work has lost all meaning to me. This GenAl stuff and the way it is changing software engineering creative process might be cool and fun to someone without a computer science or software engineering background. It might give them a sugar high, making them think they have superpowers now, but I find absolutely no joy in it. Needless to say, the use of Al where it should not be used is reaching new levels of absurdity.
I want to go back to "basics" and think. I invite you to do that as well.
With that, cheers to a better tomorrow. Better for humans, not Al freaking agents!.

Regardless of what anyone says, the primary reason Labour are screwed and were always going to be screwed is the economy. They were never going to fix it in 5yrs, let alone 2; and world events have sealed the deal. Changing leader might save some votes, but expect a coalition in 3yrs.
