It is an absolutely delightful irony that the richest man in the world is universally acknowledged to be a huge fucking loser who not a single living person envies in any way at all
Remember folks: if you have any small amount of artistic talent, any sex appeal, or can make your friends laugh, the richest man on earth is crying screaming throwing up because he can’t be you.

Last week @theverge.com published my essay exploring the limitations of large-language models. This week, that same essay is cited by a federal judge in Michigan to distinguish the process of human reasoning from what these models do. Very, very gratifying.

holy shit, an accurate legal critique of LLMs. LLMs don't reason because they're just stitching together plausible-looking sentences indifferent to the content

Everyone knows data centers use a ton of water.

What hardly anyone knows: they can poison the water that remains.

And in eastern Oregon, Amazon is doing exactly that.

I've had a missile blow up next to my airplane, been shot at dozens of times by anti-aircraft fire, and launched into orbit — all for my country. I never thought I'd see a President call for my execution.

Trump doesn’t understand the Constitution, and we're all less safe for it.

The funniest thing about how absolute dogshit journalists are at their job, is that when you see a chatbot regurgitate strange sounding phrases the *only way it could do so* is by having stolen them from somewhere.

Searching for those weird phrases, yields the source the chatbot stole.
Google Gemini doesn’t appear to be doing too well:

‘"I am a disgrace to this planet. I am a disgrace to this universe. I am a disgrace to all universes . . . I am a disgrace to all possible and impossible universes and all that is not a universe," the bot continued.’
Google says it's working on a fix for Gemini's self-loathing 'I am a failure' comments
Google Gemini users said the bot is sharing self-loathing messages while attempting to solve tasks, including "I am a disgrace to this universe."

I’m so tickled by this story. We confirmed this game has been hanging in the store at $12 since MAY, and that it came from a random Famicom lot from Japan, meaning we paid no more than $3-4 for it.

Happy this is going to a good home! Proof that sometimes you can still get one over on the pros!
It happened, I am now the proud owner of the RAREST FAMICOM CARTRIDGE* (that was commercially released in Japan)
I cannot put into words how happy I am, especially with the added bonus of that price tag no less!

It's so crazy how the comics, animation, and video games industries are wildly popular billion dollar profit type shit and yet there is no money and no jobs for the people who make that possible

The demo for Kaizen: A Factory Story is now live on Steam!

store.steampowered.com/app/2275490

This is the first demo that I have made for one of our games since... 2011? I've been operating under the assumption that Bulletstorm killed the PC game demo, but apparently that's not true anymore.
Kaizen: A Factory Story on Steam
Kaizen is an open-ended puzzle automation game from the original Zachtronics team, set in 1980s Japan. Design, build, and optimize production lines to create iconic products, like calculators, camcord...
