Why do I still look at LinkedIn sometimes? Well, it's the only place online that you get to enjoy this kind of absolute cockery all the time without it also being laced with racial slurs.

There's a subtle linguistic difference between 'useful' and 'can be used for some things' isn't there? For example, the COVID pandemic can be used to prove the viability of working from home, but on the whole I didn't think it was particularly useful eh?
I don’t think there’s a single serious critic who says AI’s not useful? The concerns I see are about content rights, worker impacts, environmental effects, epistemological threats, or media manipulation. But that’s all predicated on the idea that it *does* work, often too well for people to manage…
The NYT Magazine asked me and @caseynewton.bsky.social to open their AI issue by talking about how we use AI, why it's not going away, and how you can't be a serious critic if you're in denial about how useful it is. Bluesky's gonna love this one!

Whenever I see an image like this I always do the magic eye thing, as I find those very easy to do and it works on any repeating pattern. A phenomenon I don't understand is that when you magic eye a repeating pattern like this it becomes much easier to see all the details.
Happy World Tessellation Day!
Did you know that weasels all naturally tessellate? It's true, try it!

The thing that truly frustrates me about all this is that nobody at the top seems to have any understanding at all of authenticity, and how it changes how we interact.
Epic Games boss Tim Sweeney believes small teams will soon be able to use AI prompts to make video games on the scale of Nintendo masterpiece The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

It's the end of an era as we say farewell to one of our Directors, Russet - @russet.bsky.social - as he steps back from the role. Russet has been with the con as staff for twelve years, including six as a Director, during some of the hardest years in the cons history.

I guess I don't really get the post con depression. There's some sadness but mostly I feel excited about next time, glad to rest for a bit and a very warm feeling about what a great thing we have going on and the people involved with it. I'm the good sort of tired.

Every time I come to Confuzzled it's with a bit of trepidation but I always leave with absolutely no egrets.
A few regrets, but none of them birds.

This has been my most enjoyable CFz for many years. I love doing all the metagame stuff but it's been so busy most years that there's been less time to enjoy other things, but with a little extra help this time I actually got a very nice balance and got to do all the things I wanted pretty much <3

I love it for us that we can now fill a small convention room for a few hours with a chess club event, during which I heard one person casually drop that they're rated 2500 blitz

I'll be there in a few hours. One of my favourite parts is arriving, usually in a bit of a mood because of all the travelling but then feeling that dissipate on the walk from the train station to the hotel lobby.

I'm proud of the previous videos we've made but I can't even begin to describe how much of a step up I think this one is in every direction. Please come and watch it!
On Saturday, 14:30, Second Stage, watch Mel and friends crack the fashion crime of the century in a solve-along murder mystery video quiz show.
Mel's putting on her first fashion show and all is going well, until foul play leaves her with a body on her paws.
Can you figure out whodunnit?
