tis would be captchas if they were pawesome actually

As a (queer) cis man, I honestly think _everyone_ should think about what their gender means to them, and how they express it.

I've thought a lot about masculinity — what makes it toxic, or anti-toxic, or positive — and how that applies to myself, not just how I act but how I feel in my body […]

A graphic showing "Pride Versioning" where the first number is the Proud Version. Then second is the Default Version. And the last number is the Shame Version.

Made very few changes to the latest build and was thinking maybe I'll be able to ship this one without incrementing the shame version (last number in a version number) and 2 minutes into testing, it's already getting bumped.

Thankfully I was in the autopass year for A2... 😅 AS went... about as well as one would expect. Ultimately, you just have to pass. Work only cares about skills and if you have a degree (but not the GPA).

Most of my AI consultancy has been telling people to not use AI after throughly reviewing the usecase. They end up liking my feedback.

Maybe write up a blog sometime about the experience, the process, and anything to look out for. Would love to read.

I feel like people think "birds are dinosaurs" is a weird fun fact that is "technically true" but I don't know how to emphasize that there are tens of thousands of species of theropod dinosaur on the planet with us right now. People keep them AS PETS.

WE EAT THEM.

so it turns out that the identity verification provder persona, with its well documented links to peter thiel from the epstein files and palintir, is keeping all data of targets and linking them to intelligence databases and watch lists, exactly like you suspected

legitimately who at Discord thought this was a good idea discord.com/press-releas...

ah cinema its made by an ex microsoft employee(? just going off of the linkedin) too, explains why the privacy policy is so shit, why are people hyping this up exactly?

it's kinda fucked up that we universally agree that if a programmer lacks art skills, them resorting to using ai is wrong...

but a lot of artists seem to be okay with using ai, just because they lack the programming skills

where do we draw the line? what makes one ethical and the other one not?

- use stock assets for MVP
- realize most solo games take years and adjust expectations for yourself
- get other people to help
- make it text-based or otherwise light on graphics
- use code to create assets (e.g. Sonic-Pi for audio)

even places like gog use ai now, cheap fuckers go pay some actual artists man

Really nuts how many men were like "Me Too went too far, and I need to email Jeffrey Epstein about it."

The Steam Machine has been delayed because stupid little babies can't stop using AI to write their emails:

This year's GlobalGameJam theme was "Mask", so I'm going to try to generate some semblance of pixel art masks... (pixel art cuz that's my regular drawing style)

Sadly didn't get to participate in the jam, but this will be a fun endeavour :3

That's nice. Learning is the fun part imo. I like learning new fun stuff. I think I will also make an algorithmic pfp generator.

Not only did the cybercrime unit in Paris raid the X offices.

They rubbed it in and posted on X that the X offices have been raided.

Then retired their Twitter account, so their final post is that they are raiding Musk.

Absolute legend.

Magnifique! 🇫🇷

Doesn't matter what the output is used for. The ethical problems lie in how the inputs are curated and how the model is evolved. So both are equally problematic and for the same reasons. There is no difference.

Procedurally generating using your own code would be the way to go. Don't see the point in using unethically sourced probabilistic word predictor to generate such simple code...

cuts deep. having graduated and not getting a job over a year now, feels like everything i've done so far has been no more than toys. there's some truth to it, but the learnings were real. i learned a lot from all my projects. but nothing seems to be enough to "make it" in the world right now...

just looked it up and my first thought: ouch

i imagine the dress would have enough weight for it to hurt cuz of the pull, but maybe not...
