Rick Moranis as nerdy accountant Louis Tully in Ghostbusters (1984).The horned, fangy demon dog Louis gets turned into later in Ghostbusters. Or else this is the one that gets Sigourney Weaver? I think they’re pretty much the same. If you know which is which keep it to yourself.

A 7 panel comic by the artist. First panel: The artist is running from a distance towards a group of people playing basketball in the park. The artist is holding a pumpkin above their head and screaming "AAAAAAAAA". Second panel: The artist has leapt up and is in position to slam dunk the pumpkin into the basketball hoop. Panel three: the pumpkin splatters violently against the backboard of the basketball hoop, sending orange pumpkin goop everywhere. Panel four: the players stand staring, covered in pumpkin goop and shocked. Panel five: the artist stares at them wide-eyed, also covered in the goop and says "it's October FIRST". Their hand reaches towards their face. Panel six: the artist rips off their own face like a rubber mask to reveal a skeleton beneath. Panel 7: the group of players stand shocked and horrified, watching as the skeleton falls to the ground in a pile of bones, the sound effects says "CLATTER".

I do like the Fire Emblem Dating Sim thing where you get to play around with a dozen different couples, but yeah, I like "supports enhance the gameplay" more than "gameplay provides a loose justification for the same eating cutscene I've seen a dozen times"

Man, you have to be just...really racist...not to come away from spending basically any time at all at an American university with a nearly boundless faith in the power of American assimilation. All sorts of students whose ancestors came from all over, utterly and completely American, all the way.

The best method to check if people are blocking you is "don't actually do that, are you trying to send your brain to an entirely new country of neuroses, why would you ever inflict that information upon yourself" the second best is to go on Clearsky and say "wow, I thought I'd be at 100k by now"

There’s a popular depiction of expertise that looks like intense, obsessive focus on infinitely complex abstraction, but I think an even more accurate depiction would be not scaling a fifty foot wall when you know there’s a door.

context. sentiment. inferences. People seriously cannot do these things anymore. That’s why they angrily demand you spell out every joke, every reference, super duper promise you mean something only this one prescribed way. They cannot do it for themselves or tolerate the any ambiguity.

But the crowding out is extremely obvious to see, in particular, in video games because just Microsoft by itself is responsible for a huge proportion of the bleeding because they're explicitly divesting from Xbox to plug the gaping financial ulcer that is OpenAI.

A digital illustration of a version of the big board from Wheel of Fortune. An array of green rectangles (each bearing an icon of a hand with crossed fingers inside a circle with rays), and white rectangles that indicate the letters in the secret phrase contestants are trying to guess. The board is not yet solved and reads like this:

M_YB_ I_
_ILL H_PP_N
__D_Y

Standing next to the board in a shiny pink and maroon evening gown and ready to turn around newly-guessed letters is a woman whose head is a human hand with crossed fingers. 

Below the board in the space where viewers at home are informed what type of  phrase is in play it simply reads ‘PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE’

everyone wants to tell artists what to do and i wish we could shift to telling audiences what to do sometimes. if you liked webcomics that were on tapas, follow somewhere else. learn to use RSS. don't let the seamlessness of apps turn your brain into soup. you can change your habits

reading this blog post is making me sad because it's calling out all the ways in which art and research are very much the same, and therefore how the moneyed interests are tearing us apart.
This particular kind of applied AI research is beautiful to me, and why I fell in love with research. You start with an impossible problem, and laughably few resources, and then you ask: how clever can I get with this? And there are so many directions to explore. You might invent a better algorithm that takes advantage of the structures of the problem to chop away huge quantities of unnecessary work. You might discover a way of estimating parts of the answers that are always inaccurate but consistent enough to be useful. You might learn something interesting about the way humans solve the same problem, and figure out how to incorporate it into your solution. You will never get the right answer. That's not what you're here to do. You're here to squeeze every drop out of the knowledge, techniques and insight that you have around you, and to see what new things you can force out of what you already have.
