I've loved this song since I was on an Air New Zealand plane in the 80's and it was probably the coolest thing on the playlist. I want to do a punk cover of it, it might actually fit this style, if done correctly and kept to tempo. soundcloud.com/yesterdays-e...

We’ve been quiet while building the foundations. Now it’s time to start showing it.
The first in-game footage from Errata is live. Systems are up, the world is now being populated.

What if everyone is an asshole?
Just dropped a new paper. If you’re curious about some causes of the brain drain in New Zealand, this might shed some light on it. Consider it a primer.

Nah, was just migrating domains.
Fuck ICE. Fuck JD Vance. And if you support their bullshit, fuck you.
Please pardon any handle issues over the next few days. I'm updating DNS providers.
Amazon has deployed it's 1 millionth service robot today. These robots have replaced people working at facilities for years, all powered by AI.
So why are we still shopping at Amazon?
Aren't they "stealing" jobs from actual workers?
Or are we just looking the other way when it's convenient?

The real question js: did Llama have a pre-existing contract with the SAG?

After this is addressed can we look at Māori unemployment and Māori suicide rates? They’re over 2x the national average in both respects.

I launched @tumekestudio.com in May thinking, “Let’s see if this world has legs.”
Until then it only existed in home-run tabletop RPGs at my dining room.
Since then I’ve:
📣 Presented it dozens of times
🤝 Been approached by young people
😮 Watched them light up over it
How cool is that?

I've noticed potential investors often fall into the following traps:
🚩Quick Returns
🚩Formulaic Thinking
🚩Hindered by Optics
🚩Led by FOMO
This makes discussions normally bookended by statements like "who else is investing?" and various bits of consultant-speak.
Rubber duck Daesh. Now with exuberance.
This is what’s wrong with AI. AI buddies are predatory. I don’t want to talk to my dead baby, Elvis, or Bigfoot. I don’t need a robot friend. AI has no idea what they might think, it’s just a messed up way to take advantage of people who are compromised.

Took this source picture at The Charleston at Bremerton, WA back in 2015. Totally worth saving it.
Honestly Trump is going to blame Joe Biden and Obama.
Funny how we complain about how destructive AI is to the environment from our resource intensive iPhones while watching our environmentally destructive TVs that produce absolutely nothing of value. Is it really about the environment, or are we just using the planet as a political bludgeon?
Meanwhile in New Zealand colonial descendants claim they are indigenous too, Māori unemployment is double the national average, with many university qualified graduates going unemployed not for months, but for years.
It must be.
Another NCsoft MMO. Probably going to play just like the last ones.
We don’t need the same cookie cutter games with updated graphics so we get better visuals of scantily clad female avatars and furries.
We need better gameplay, new ideas, and a reason to like the genre again.
If you’re creating Super Mario or Doom culture isn’t important. But if you’re creating a playable interactive world it absolutely is. But AAA studios regularly get it wrong, taking shortcuts for quick profit and delivering hollow apologies afterward. Why? Because we still buy it.
Let’s start this one off with Star Wars Galaxies.
Not currently online.
Careful. Quoting a music lyric is not expressing a desire to do anything. But publishing a false claim about another named individual does constitute libel.
Groks 6 second AI videos aren't perfect... but they can still be fun and with a little help from Premiere, you can get a nifty result.
This one is my wife and I. We took an American Gothic picture during lockdown. Grok provided the video conversion.

Follow up on this - we got the label removed by reducing our follow count to near nothing. Meanwhile this AM my own feed was hit with 2 porn fantasy products. I’m getting mixed messages here. Is this platform safe for kids?
This is interesting.
As a business owner I am constantly looking for ways to make my company a better experience for staff.
Things like insurance, dental, gym memberships, and vision have all been investigated.
Weight management is something I would happily support.
Are Blueskys content policies enforce fairly? This AM my business account @tumekestudio.com was hit with a Spam accusation. We are a growing MMO studio, our content is exclusively about online games. During that time we were hit with unsolicited follows from porn and politics. Double standard?
Who says AI isn’t useful?
