A lot of us having been saying for years that oceans are battlefields. Welcome I guess, but don’t act like it’s big news.

The last few days did not move the main story forward AT ALL. It's just a guy eating little treats and doing nothing. And so many plot holes. He says, "no more little treats," and then he's eating another little treat in literally the next scene.

Dear Jared from the Subway commercials, Jeffrey Epstein here, writing to talk about our close friend President Donald J. Trump. Like you, he shares an insatiable prediliction for "eating fresh." (To be clear, that is a euphemism for pedophilia.) Hope all is well! P.S. Do you have Jimmy Savile's #?

I’ve been in game dev for 26 years and I can’t remember any other time where a specific tech was being insistently and persistently pushed on devs as a group in the public sphere.
Why would it? Cui bono? Why would any given dev have an interest in other devs using tech they don’t have a stake in?

My conspiracy theory about genAI in games blowing up more and more by big companies is that they’ve all got a ton of investors insisting they use genAI tools otherwise they(investors) won’t be able to bankroll em anymore

It incredible to watch "Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair" in cinemas.
At once Tarantino's most postmodern movie and his most personal, the story of a character's long odyssey from the world of exploitation cinema to a more grounded domestic reality.
Beautiful stuff.

In my opinion the only ethical use of AI in Larian games is summarising who I am and what the hell I’m supposed to be doing when I come back to the game six months later

One of the many reasons AI can't produce good writing is it can't hate its own writing. It can't think to itself "Maybe I'm illiterate" during the writing process. And that's essential

Thinking about “Hamnet”, “Pluribus” and “28 Years Later” as media this year that is (among other things) very overtly about the absurdity of trying to grieve the recent massive global pandemic in a world that often refuses to acknowledge the enormity of the tragedy.
