I think my favourite example of a game security flaw was in the Firefly game where the Captain Reynolds outfit DLC entirely compromised your system. It was Malwear.

This is exactly what I'm talking about with AI. It's such a waste. You pay me half of what you're paying for AI and I'll come fuck up your life and ruin your business no AI necessary.

"The mainstream understanding of AI is as an interefering piece of shit which doesn't work" pt II

10. The baby announcement At the end of a meeting, a colleague asked their boss to stay on the line for a couple of minutes. The colleague then confidentially shared the great news that they were expecting a baby, and they and their boss talked about a few next steps to plan for parental leave. The AI notetaker then sent out notes to everyone who had attended the meeting with the headline, “Colleague Is Having a Baby.” 19. The equipment I recently saw a ~$50,000 piece of industrial equipment damaged and taken out of commission for about a month because Google AI search told a worker that the tightening torque of a screw was 50 ft*lb instead of 50 in*lb. This resulted in them over-tightening the screw by a factor of 12, which unfortunately didn’t strip the threaded hole (which would have been a smaller problem) but instead warped a bearing assembly that required a full rebuild at considerable difficulty and expense. The kicker is that the correct torque value was clearly printed in the service manual that is stored in the machine. 1. The fake initiative Our execs usually send out a hype email right before the annual employee morale survey, emphasizing wins from the past year, basically trying to put people in a positive frame of mind. Last year’s included the announcement of a major new program we knew employees really wanted. But it was a bit surprising, because it fell in an area my team was responsible for, and we were out of the loop, despite advocating strenuously for this over the years. So I went to the exec to a) convey enthusiasm for his newfound dedication to launching this program and b) ask what support he needed from my team/get us involved again. It turned out the program wasn’t launching at all; he had just asked AI to edit the email to make it sound more exciting and appealing, and it had done so by … launching my initiative. 16. The scam We work with a lot of small businesses just starting up, and as a result are asked to recommend professional services often. Knowing this, a client passed on a discreet warning about the bookkeeping firm we’d recommended to them. They had issues with their accounting software, Quickbooks, and called for help. It was right when Google started providing AI summaries for everything, and apparently their account rep pulled the phone number for Quickbooks’ support out of the AI summary, rather than off the website. You can probably guess where this is going. The number wasn’t legit, but instead put him in contact with a scammer who’d managed astroturf their way into the AI summary. The account rep gave the scammer full access to our client’s accounting software before he realized his error. Our client didn’t share a lot of details about the damages — I got the sense that they were saying very little because they were planning legal action — but they wanted to let us know so we wouldn’t recommend them again.

I'm very slowly working on a game and I'm not using AI because
A) it sucks
B) what's the point if I'm not even doing the work?
C) it's a mass plagiarism laundry
D) I have self-respect and respect for my prospective audience

Wait. Was that…a feeling of accomplishment?

No, for I haven't accomplished anything.

Just a fleeting phantasm.

As many have pointed out, Mamdani didn't stand apart from our trans brothers and sisters. He didn't play the "Gee, gosh, it sure is complicated," milquetoast moderate card. And he crushed.

The way forward is together, not over the bodies of our own.

Here’s @realgdt.bsky.social in NYC expanding on his rallying cry of ‘fuck AI!’, talking about how art and even love come from shared pain and movies can save your life. This shit made me and others in the audience cry as much as his version of Frankenstein…

wanted to draw my old frog sprites again #pixelart #frog
a set of pixel art frog sprites, each column representing a before & after comparison. Column on the left are the first sprites I made, column on the right are the ones I made recently. The first row (top to bottom) is the Black Rain Frog. The second row is the Desert Rain Frog. Third Row is the Green Tree Frog. Fourth Row is the Whites Tree Frog.

Tried some chili crisp on my eggs and it was pretty good. Not as spicy as I thought it'd be.

Also had the Korean BBQ spam with that again and it's still not my favorite. It's good, but I think the hickory smoked or plain are better.

The good thing about tech these days is that greed makes all these folks build everything as a service and not a product. So when the AI crash comes and they turn off the servers, by and large it will disappear.

Saw something that @realgdt.bsky.social said the other day, and remembered I had something I started a while ago that I should finish up.

I'm so tired of all this.

After getting 100 pages into a bunch of books and then not finishing them so many times (including this one at least 4 times) I finished reading a book! I used to read so much but for a long time I've had a hard time feeling like I was "allowed" to do it. Just sit and read something for fun.

Everybody's been tearing up our street putting in fiber for the past couple months and now somehow getting faster internet is going to be cheaper. I don't trust it. Nothing works like that anymore.

Here's a T. Rex bored to death trying to bite their own tail. My partner asked me to animate it in stop motion, after she watched a video about the very important topic of "could T. Rex chew its own tail like a dog". The puppet is still a work in progress 🦖
