Make that two ridiculously awesome images of space in four days. The butterfly via the Chilean telescope was four days ago (I believe, from the single article covering it that I’ve read)
This is a staggering cool JWST image of one of the most terrifying star systems I have ever seen. Apep is a monster… *three* monsters, actually, and blasting out radiation and dust and junk at speeds to freeze the soul.
Read all about it!

Anecdotally on twitter seeing a big shift the last few days from every AI slop account saying every other creative field is “over” and they’re in control now to now posting about how nobody likes them and it’s not fair and they’ll persevere and real artists respect and uplift eachother

The death of browsing is part of the reason art is the way it is now. Our opinions are largely fed to us by algorithms. Spending a spare 15 minutes wandering around a bookstore or comic shop or video rental place was how you found stuff you wouldn't ordinarily pick up and thereby expanded your taste
Bookselling is like the most "people go to the store and buy what looks cool to them without a particular agenda" type business left, and your purchases have a huge influence on what is ordered, what is displayed, and what is recommended.

last week i remembered that macOS lets you set your own icons and that *I* have the power to delegitimize the professionalism of the software that runs on my machine, so here's a thread of the 16 new icons i've made so far
i really forgot how fun it was to just sit down and make art for myself :')

This is not a defense. This is anger that Valve are such colossal fuckups on so many levels, and yet every other major platform-holder is fucking up vastly more.
The bar to clear is at the bottom of the ocean and all the competition see it and go 'YOLO, Oceangate 2.0, bitches!'

From this second unknown indie games list I immediately added two of the first three without reading any further. I don’t even have my Steam Deck yet. Fun times!

I don't see how Tesla's Model 3 can survive if Benz can offer an alternative EV this cheap, with this kind of performance, on top of the 15% tariff that it's charged in the US.
Imagine what this model does to Tesla in Europe, where Benz pays no tariffs.

i think tech and ai positive people are going to be in for a big shock when anti tech and anti ai sentiment becomes a major part of leftwing politics going forward especially as datacenters continue to destroy communities and raise electricity bills
Is this platform still massively against AI or has it moved more towards acceptance?

Brilliantly succinct. The guidance in the below post should definitely apply to several figures on here who are otherwise undoubtedly credentialed and knowledgeable but whiplash-inducing illiterate when it comes to “abominable scam homunculus”
Literally all of society hates this abominable scam homunculus and the weird little death cult bubble of vampiric losers who spewed it forth upon the world. Take a break from bragging about how gullible you are and give yourself a swirlie and stuff yourself in a locker and sort yourself out.

Flaunt that shit!
Sick of scrolling games just to see AI disclosures at the bottom. When I see one, it's an automatic NOPE from me.
Celebrating that you are against AI is a great way to get me to look at, and cover your game!

I resent LLMs for many reasons, but forcing me to act like a cop to keep fake garbage out of publication is high on the list. I want to read people’s work in a spirit of generosity and curiosity again (‘I wonder what cool ideas might be in here?’) instead of ‘I got you now, you lying little shit’

On taxing billionaires: “If you went back a million minutes, you would be back to January 2024. If you go back a billion minutes, you are in the Roman empire. That’s the difference between a million and a billion.”

Xbox 360 was the first “core” console I purchased with my own money at 16, after having to borderline bribe my dad to drive me to the store the morning of release day as there wasn’t a chance I was going to be getting there at midnight

this isn't fun but it's reminded me of something i feel like everyone should know just in case, like a form of first aid:
if you or someone near you has a traumatic experience, playing games like Tetris ASAP disrupts the brain's creation of intrusive/sticky memories and will help prevent PTSD
