May my tongue drip with parasites
that writhe through your mind,
and take root in your heart.
Let the flesh of mankind decompose
and the monsters carve themselves free.

honestly the idea that you can sharply improve encoding by framing something in terms of survival is very funny to me because it means 'imagine that a crazy person obsessed with this subject has kidnapped you and will kill you if you don't get it right' should be crazy good at improving memory
I wonder if this has any connection to how intuitive it is to learn and remember elements of playing a video game (if I can't solve this challenge, I'll die!) vs learning and remembering things in a more traditional educational context (if I don't pass this test, I will get a lower grade!)

if I was a game dev and I wanted to stop people from pirating my games I would simply create a half dozen creepypasta style romhacks of my game and seed the torrent sites with them the day my game went live, tbh.

oh people are talking about Nick Land again? looking forward to another round of people conflating the stuff he wrote in his mid 20s and 30s when he was a radical leftist with the stuff he wrote in his 50s and 60s after he burned out on meth and became a fascist, I guess

honestly if I were to do level design based on my dreams, it'd be more like... you're going through the house you live in, and notice a door that was not there before. Stepping through, you find yourself stepping out of the closet of your childhood bedroom.
TODAY! 10 AM PST!
With some help from legendary game developer American McGee, I dive deep into why so many video games have floating rocks for dreams, and how we choose to interpret art and its personal meaning to us.

Sony has pulled a generational bag fumble, and in my opinion, it's all downstream from Jim Ryan's leadership going all-in on the Live Service model and having nearly every studio working on one (Bluepoint was working on a God of War live service) and what we're seeing is the long tailed fallout.
BREAKING: PlayStation is shutting down Bluepoint Games, the studio responsible for modern remakes of classic games such as Demon's Souls and Shadow of the Colossus, Bloomberg News has learned.
A shocking end for a well-respected studio.

This is the cowardice of fascism on full display.
These people want cruelty enacted on their behalf in order to provide them with a sense of comfortability, but bristle at the thought of being confronted with what that actually looks like.

This might seem cold but I completely agree with this take in a lot of cases.
I'm sorry you are grieving the loss of your child but killing lots of other trans people because you're angry you didn't stop being shitty to yours in time to save them is fucking sociopathic and sadly all too common.

This is why I don't want parents of trans kids who committed suicide in our movement.
Brianna was murdered for doing this and her mother is doing this. I'm supposed to trust the parents who, intentionally or not, helped drive their own kids to suicide in our spaces? Fuck that.

Social media appears to have been a lifeline for Brianna Ghey, something she used to connect with other trans people, something that would have been difficult to do when I was her age. But her mother is talking about how social media "killed her", that she "died twice." It's revolting.

I'm gonna say it: Esther Ghey is overjoyed her daughter died. She hated her for being an independent being, she hated her for transitioning, and now she gets to use her corpse as a dancefloor for the rest of her life.

"The value proposition was-" dude shut up, I guarantee you didn't get bluesky pitched to you as an investment, you were asked 'do you want to go on a site without the fucking nazis' and now you're offended at the kind of culture which is necessary to remain 'without the fucking nazis'.
The whole value proposition of Bluesky was that it wasn't going to be as crass, toxic, etc.
And yet ... anytime it's pointed out that the experience here is *legit not-so-good* the responses are some mix of "fine, leave Nazi" (with expletives) or X whataboutism ...

the problem with the idea that large statistical models will lead to artificial general intelligence is that we know these models do not think, and there's no reason to assume that will change at any scale of implementation, no matter how complex it might be.

the funniest thing about 'does the left even like technology' is that I genuinely see technology as a set of tools we can appropriate and use for the cause of liberation, but because I don't fetishize the idea of some day having robot slaves, for some reason my view is presumed to be tech-negative.
