Why do the Japanese like their buns askew (2026)

My favorite example of this is from Tolkien: Frodo Baggins is only a translated name for English. In-universe, in Westron, is name is Maura Labingi.

a bit of a project to redesign some KOTOR characters. Making their designs align more to Star Wars design language whilst keeping the feel of the Old Republic.

You absolutely SHOULD NOT go around telling people that data centers are full of gold, silver, palladium, copper, and that the data centers are almost entirely unstaffed.

A flatscreen display on a "smart" water fountain, demanding to be reconnected to the internet.

In 1999, I was playing a decker in Shadowrun, and tried to distract a guard by hacking a water fountain to overflow, and my GM said "why would a water fountain be on the network? That's fucking stupid. No you can't try."

Well it's 2026 and I just want you to know, Phil, that I FUCKING CALLED IT!

OpenAI: We’re burning money like the Joker. A miracle needs to happen for us to turn a profit

Microsoft: Please please use our AI systems, we’re teetering on the edge here

Anthropic: I wonder what’ll kill us first: lawsuits, regulations or model collapse

Media and universities: AI is here to stay

It’s fucking bizarre how people are acting like something from 2022 is something they can’t live without.

Like dudes, the emotional dependence on a sycophantic machine regurgitating nonsense to encourage you to stop engaging in critical thought and trust the slop is truly depressing to witness.

Not a journalist myself, but I can't insist enough on how important the Internet Archive and the Wayback Machine are for @wookofficial.bsky.social effort to preserve and research Star Wars history. We account for more than 33 thousand pages from official websites recorded on our internal index.

Why has nobody from the game industry protested the imprisonment of this brave and innovative game designer

From EARTHSEED: THE BOOKS OF THE LIVING Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought. To be led by a coward is to be controlled by all that the coward fears. To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists who control the fool. To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen. To be led by a liar is to ask to be told lies. To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.

Octavia E. Butler, 1998:

A "wartime" poster that says: "Using Generative AI? You're Prompting with Hitler! GenAI is a Fascist Project! Try using your brain instead! Don't surrender your creativity to the Tech Billionaires' control!"

I missed this from @phineas.bsky.social when it originally came out but it sure feels relevant at the moment.

Bloody hell. Researchers invented a disease, published two fake papers to see if LLM’s would ingest them and kick them up as fact — and then it broke containment and all the major AI’s bought in. Information pollution.

A photo of astronaut Christina Koch from 2023. Text reads: She was the first to edit Wikipedia from space. In 2019, Artemis II astronaut Christina Koch made the edit during her mission aboard the International Space Station. Now, she's on her way home from the far side of the moon.

Sam Altman's Coworkers Say He Can Barely Code and Misunderstands Basic Machine Learning Concepts The OpenAI CEO reportedly confuses basic coding and machine learning terms, numerous insiders have admitted.

"I think there's a small but real chance he's eventually remembered as a Bernie Madoff- or Sam Bankman-Fried-level scammer."

Classics friends may enjoy this. Some of the Latin pronunciation is a bit weird, but the essence is spot on! 😆

Penguin Random House is suing OpenAI for alleged copyright infringement

• They say ChatGPT generated text and images 'virtually indistinguishable' from one of their children’s books

• It's 'clear evidence' OpenAI is unlawfully memorizing their author's work

Report: Decision Not To Call Film ‘The Baby Yoda Movie’ To Cost Disney $900 Million BURBANK, CA—Citing nearly a billion dollars of pent-up consumer demand for entertainment featuring an infant version of an already beloved character, a new report released Wednesday by Gower Street An...

“By naming the film The Mandalorian And Grogu, Disney is leaving money on the table from consumers who have no idea who Grogu is but would immediately take out their phones and buy a ticket for any movie of any genre with ‘Baby Yoda’ in its title,” said report author Heather Flynn

This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1,200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.

Here's a new way AI can fuck up video games:

The companies providing servers and online resources for multiplayer games might start bailing on devs and moving to support AI companies and hyperscalers.
