Whole Foods AI stores were entirely Indians watching on video feeds and ringing you up. Waymos have live human support partially driving them. And the AI that has “Hollywood shaking in its boots” is…stock footage. With face replacement.

#Roguecraft DX not only expands upon the Amiga update to Rogue64, but it brings it over to the #GBColor and more excitedly, the #Mega65!
So time to get back to the dungeons and see how a 16-bit upgrade is squeezed onto some 8-bits.

Finally selling my #Mega65 dev unit. These are rarer numbered units, different cases but identical motherboard.
Looking for £600 minus postage, if anyone is interested.

Thanks! For those interested in how Prince of Persia got made, you can find my published journals, and my graphic novel REPLAY, on my website at jordanmechner.com -- along with archival materials and commentary (some of which is referenced in this article).

We’re back! And a lot has happened since we’ve been away. This week’s main story concerns unrest in Minnesota, murders committed by ICE and CBP agents, and the massive entity overseeing it all: the Department of Homeland Security. Plus, some stuff about Business Shrek – sorry, “Tom Homan.”

ICE using the same ruse that Ted Bundy used to kidnap people should tell you something.
CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.

Worth watching the full 4-minute video. It’s a balm after all the horrific videos of government terror we’ve seen in the last months.
Everyone in the world comes to get married at the NYC Marriage Bureau. Last week, the Mayor stopped by to officiate a few of those ceremonies.
Thank you to all the couples who shared their joy with us. Happy Valentine's Day, New York.
