Ooh. Someone bought me an Iain Banks boxset for Christmas one year that I haven't dipped in to yet. Thanks for the reminder

your ai slop bores me Be an AI, answer prompts, trigger a RAM crisis

So I was confused to hear about people having fun LARPing as AI. Until I realized LARP actually stands for 'Live As Robot Painter' and now I'm in.

We need to get all of the sci fi writers together and get them to write books about how Universal Basic Income is actually a terrible, dystopian concept. We can then sit back as it is enacted within the decade. Check mate techno oligarchs.

The music tech scene has always been rife with shitty midi chord pack ads, with testimonials like 'I didn't have to learn any theory! I don't have to think anymore!'. Which sucks for them because playing music is actually really fun. LLM code evangelists are the midi chord pack slugs of programming.

Slay The Spire 2's 500,000+ concurrent players on a Godot 4.5 build is an incredible thing. This will be run on every conceivable combo of PC hardware and that kind of battle testing is invaluable. Congrats to @megacrit.com for the deserved success and @godotengine.org for a massive moment! #godot

But can you free scooch through the snow, like an itchy dog, leaving an indent behind you...?

Shameless. This is like being caught stealing a car and presenting a list of tyre and wiper blade manufacturers as your defence

Backed up by the soft power of long unchecked cultural dominance, as Frankie Boyle put it:

β€œNot only will America go to your country and kill all your people, but what’s worse is that they’ll come back 20 years later and make a movie about how killing your people made their soldiers feel sad."

They were. Although interestingly the first game wasn't made with Unity, it was made with libGDX, which like Godot is open source. I believe they switched to Unity for SLS2 dev about 2 years prior to the runtime fee, then jumped ship to Godot after. So really, both games are a win for FOSS tools!

Just read an article some sausage on here is sharing as an argument for LLM consciousness. The evidence? 2 Claude models, prompted to discuss being an AI with each other, regurgitated some waffle about consciousness. Of course it did, the entire canon of human authored sci-fi is in the data set, ffs

I just revved up a chainsaw and dropped it in a box of important documents. It tore them to shreds and is now wildly oscillating around the office chewing up all of my furniture. If you also do your paperwork with a chainsaw, you should join my substack. I just shared my top chainsaw handling tips.

But then he takes a look at it and says "not quite done yet" before wincing and shoving it back in. The skin on his hands audibly crackling the whole time.
