Palantir, a US spy-tech firm, has been given access to millions of NHS patient records.

Its founder has said the NHS should be 'ripped up'.

Join me in calling on the government to end the dangerous Palantir contract.

Stop Palantir taking over our public services!
Our public services aren’t for a secretive profit-hungry US tech firm. Sign the petition to tell the Government to scrap all contracts with secretive US tech firm Palantir.

Everything I have read about this atrocity of a game ever since posting this has made me more and more angry.

What do you mean voices include fucking nazi party members, as well as the likely-stolen voice of the most prominent Mexican singers of all time that died 31 years ago?
hey what the fuck is this shit on the front page of steam here

Disabled people are part of the future.
We must and should imagine and dream of futures where disabled people don't just exist but are everywhere, as we should be.
This need to fix/cure all disability is a eugenicist dreaming, and we should want better for ourselves.
I have a friend who said, of Starfleet Academy, that this took them out of it - that seeing a person in a wheelchair in the 32nd century seemed unrealistic, since medicine in Star Trek "should be able to cure whatever was wrong with them."

That's not the case, for any number of possible reasons.

Right, another key thing that historians do is working with important records that have not been digitized.

And the vast majority of the world’s records *have not been digitized* and thus do not exist in any format that LLMs/AI can work with.
it's literally impossible for an LLM to do a historian's job

it's not even LLMs sucking it's that they need data input to do anything and where's that data supposed to be coming from without historians

never met a computer that can dig through a thousand year old book in a library

the CEO taking responsibility & helping place workers at new positions is the bare minimum.

show me executives who take pay cuts. show me studios who understand the time it takes to make games so they have financial resources to avoid layoffs. show me an industry that isn't rotten at it's core.

Over 1,000 Ubisoft workers around the world have walked off the job.

In response to a return-to-office mandate, layoffs, and the cancellation of several games, workers launched a three-day strike.

The workers walked out in response to five French unions issuing the strike call.
Ubisoft workers are on strike: 'We are treated like children'
The strike comes after the publisher revealed plans to cut up to 200 jobs and ordered remote workers back into the office

Hey. Psst. Y’all are rad. Hydrate your skeletons. Take your meds. Check your posture. Have a snack.

Whatever you need to do today/tonight, I believe in you. No matter how big or small it may be. I hope the week brings joy, relief, laughter, success, coziness. You got this.

Sweet Caroline is written about Caroline Kennedy who was 11 at the time. Neil Diamond saw a picture of her and wrote it - he was 28 at the time and of no relation……

Despite having written thousands of lines of poetry, only one complete Sappho poem survives.
A lot of people really don’t realize that there is a vast amount of information out there that is not online and plausibly never will be, or can’t be.
I think that's a point that will surprise a lot of people. There's a lot of calling the internet capable of accessing "the sum of all human knowledge" and such that I think gives people the impression that any and all records exist online somewhere.

I've said this before, but it makes me insane that in an age of human civilization when the ultra-rich have hoarded over half of all wealth, the go-to visual shorthand for depictions of gluttony is still "fat"

Every live service game these days needs to be a Fortnite size hit immediately at launch or else it’s a failure but what’s often forgotten is that Fortnite wasn’t even a hit at launch

I feel so bad for the devs, both for getting fired so quickly and for what I can only imagine are the psychological ramifications of spending years working on a game in such a fickle genre with so many high profile failures to the point where I have to imagine this outcome must have felt inevitable
Wildlight (Highguard) lays off staff according to a LinkedIn post

"Unfortunately, along with most of the team at Wildlight, I was laid off today.

This one really stings as there was a lot of unreleased content I was really looking forward to that I and others designed for Highguard."

it's insane to me as someone who watched the live service model grow into what it is today that these kinds of games aren't even given a month to live and potentially grow and gain and audience when something like league or fortnite didn't blow up overnight.
