Football Manager 26 is a mess.
It is being rushed out the door in a state I would never have imagined.
It is in a state that I personally as a developer could never excuse.
This is clearly a business decision, they cannot afford to push it further.

The Sleeping City by An Abstract Illusion is an amazing album!
The mix of death, black, progressive metal with excellent atmospheric sounds is just a treat to the ears.
Haven't heard music like this before.
Time to go back through their discography!

Some people are so powerful they don't have to steal, because they can legally take whatever they want.

it's kinda weird that all the software i am expected to use for work are all written by distributed teams, go, python, postgres, linux, chrome, k8s etc
and despite being told "the best teams work in an office together" i don't know of any software i use that's actually written that way

This is frightening. If there isn't footage of something people believe to be true, they'll make it.
This alone is enough for me to dismiss this technology as harmful to society.

This is both fascinating & frightening. There is a demand for images that show and confirm what people already know and believe to be true, and AI slop meets that demand—with visual content that emblematically visualizes what the headlines report. One could call it synthetic hypervisualization

That TikTok account has a few fake videos of reporters getting detained. They make these videos because it’s a big story in the news. Real reporters are getting arrested. And so people are making AI videos to get engagement on TikTok.

It feels very nice to hear someone else sharing similar experiences in regards to LLMs and coding.
It's sometimes very lonely being a dev not using AI tools.

Du är 15 år och går på gymnasiemässan utan att veta att du bär på en väska med 350000 kr. Du möter en två år äldre elev från Kunskapsgymnasiet som lärt sig av retorikexpert hur man påverkar ditt val. Du tar upp mobilen och kollar en gymnasieinfosida. Den ägs av Academedia. 👍
På Kunskapsgymnasiets ambassadörsutbildning inför gymnasiemässan får elever som ska representera skolan lära sig ”hur du får andra att göra som du vill” av inhyrd retorikexpert. Sedan ska de träffa femtonåringar och få dem att göra som Peje vill.

Ages ago, when I was still a student, I taught myself Ruby on Rails for my senior thesis and fell in love. Fifteen years later, and I’ve used Rails at every job I’ve ever held in the tech industry. Fifteen years, and I still love Rails! But there’s something rotten at its core, and we share a name.
