BLUESKY IS A WEBSITE THAT TURNS (post by jay.bsky.team claiming that bluesky is made with AI) INTO (picture of bluesky not working)
As in: confident and wrong.
Looks like a chatgpt response.
Imagine all of the AI money invested in a Hellgate London sequel. Imagine.

The easter hare holding a basket of eggs running away from a mob of angry chickens. Illustration painted in gouache by Victoria Maderna.
Here it is, my yearly repost of my one Easter illo (or as I like to call it, chocolate day)! Cause I still think it's pretty funny (where DOES he gets the eggs from?)

The moment they realized initial interest wasn't predicting infinite growth (which they'd need for the social part to work) they bailed. Even Disney wouldn't save them given that most users weren't kids (and there's a limited supply of Disney adults?
They saw that the initial interest followed an exponential curve and got excited. But there's no product there. You don't need "social platform" to monetize video generation like you've proposed (Ariel wishing your daughter a happy bday) but they went with the social angle and wasted a lot of money.
They are bleeding money. There was no path to profitability for sora even more than for chat.
Crysis 2 OST is at the very least close.
Anything narco-* would be great.

Circle as big as how much your account gets interacted with on X, and Elon Musk is a huge dot in the middle dwarfing everything else like the sun
This is just an incredible visual model of what being on X is like

Daaaaad!
i know everyone is going on about this but i'm watching the digital foundry video on the DLSS5 stuff and they keep going on about how it really understands shadows, meanwhile it's just erasing every shadow and making everything look floaty and blown out.
That's because it's shit.

Mira carrying a set of bizarre pillows strapped to her back like a makeshift backpack. She's wearing baggy clothes and heavy spikes on her shoes for the oncoming ice climb. Walking across the tiles, she is followed by a little floating orb being, vaguely resembling a spiky, golden clamshell.
"Pillow deliveries pay well, but the region is suprisingly cold and require specialty footware to not slip on the ice once you get there. At least its easy to carry..."
Finished up the sketch I did. Possibly my final art of the year. Strangely, this the first time I've ever fully shaded Mira
Two beers on this being some dumb blockchain vaporware.

Screenshot thread of @NagaiIndustries on Twitter/X, that has now been deleted. Tweet 1: Hi, everyone! Here are some unpleasant insights into inKONBINI's development. Please, read the full thread and save these notes before they're gone. It's time some things were said. @IGN @Polygon @Kotaku @PCGamer @RockPaperShot @gamespot @Eurogamer @jasconschrier @patrickklepek There are 6 images total, including this one. This has been 1 of 6.
Tweet thread of @NagaiIndustries continued. This is image 2 of 6. Tweet 2: To be clear, this thread isn't intended to harm the developers, who are mostly victims of the situation themselves. The only person this calls out is Nagai Industries' Studio Head: Dima Kluev, aka Dima Shen. Tweet 3: The public persona Dima projects -- that of a passionate developer and a die-hard Shenmue fan -- couldn't be further from the truth. The reality is far more toxic and disturbing. Tweet 4: Having seen him operate up close over the years, I feel obligated to expose him as a ruthless opportunist with a Machiavellian mindset and a toxic leadership style. Tweet 5: Harsh management isn't new to the game industry. But there's a common hope that indie studios avoid the worst of what plagues AAA development. Tweet 6: Indie teams are often viewed as havens of creativity, collaboration, and flat hierarchies. That might be true elsewhere, but not at Nagai Industries. Tweet 7: For years, this small team of around a dozen developers has endured a deeply dysfunctional workplace that mirrors some of AAA's worst practices. There are 6 images total, including this one. This has been 2 of 6.
Tweet thread of @NagaiIndustries continued. This is image 3 of 6. Tweet 8: From needlessly long meetings (only recently scrapped), to extreme bureaucracy, micromanagement, public humiliation, and verbal abuse -- all coming from one person at the top. Tweet 9: It's also worth noting that employees at the studio don't receive any share of the game's profits -- something many would expect from a smaller indie team. Most are significantly underpaid, with average monthly salaries around $1,250. Tweet 10: On multiple occasions, Dima Shen (whose chosen alias coincidentally translates to "God") dismissed others' input entirely. He frequently declared his own opinion as superior in ways that were both arrogant and demeaning. Tweet 11: This wasn't just strict management. It was blatant mistreatment. You don't expect to be devalued in any workplace -- let alone in an indie studio meant to foster support. Tweet 12: He never walked back his language or tone. No apologies. No self-reflection. A typical response to feedback: "That's how I talk. You don't like it? That's not my problem." That's what people heard -- in private and in public. There are 6 images total, including this one. This has been 3 of 6.
Tweet thread of @NagaiIndustries continued. This is image 4 of 6. Tweet 13: He also had no hesitation in cutting people loose -- whether they were burnt out, disagreed with him, or both. Many of you admire the visual style of the game, which has arguably been one of its main draws so far. Tweet 14: What you may not know is that the original artist and creative director was removed from the project shortly after the visual foundation was completed. Shen dismissed her without offering credit, residuals, or any future involvement. She's refused contact with him ever since. Tweet 15: Another accomplished artist, who led visual work on the game's announcement teaser, was also discarded after delivery. (Shen "let" him stay listed at the studio's LinkedIn, so he could keep their housing until he lands another job.) Let that sink in. Tweet 16: At times, team members were told to stop working with no warning or quietly replaced without notice. Some woke up to find access revoked, removed from chats, and often left completely unaware of their actual status at the studio. Tweet 17: This wasn't just clumsy communication -- it was a deliberate pattern. A system where decisions were made behind closed doors, with zero transparency or respect. There are 6 images total, including this one. This has been 4 of 6.
You can delete the thread on twitter but you know what? The internet is forever. Not to mention, screenshots are a thing.
