⚠️ Do not move your account to mastodon.cloud. If you know someone already on mastodon.cloud you might want to suggest they move to a different server.

-Mastodon.cloud's admin hasn't posted since Feb 2023
-There doesn't seem to be any moderation, really awful bigotry is still there months after being reported
-The server software is very outdated and full of unpatched security holes
-Because of all the above, many other servers have defederated mastodon.cloud

After you have committed an act of easy sabotage, resist any temptation to wait around and see what happens.

Y’all, GitHub sucks and you probably shouldn’t use it. But sometimes, you have to, I get it. So if you have an account, don’t forget to opt out of the Copilot silliness at https://github.com/settings/copilot/features because it’s 🤬 enabled by default, and that means they’ll train using your stuff, behind your back.

"Setting aside the moral arguments—"

You mean the power and water.

"Setting aside the power and water, and—"

Don't forget the industrial-scale plagiarism. The brazen theft.

"Setting aside the copyright fuckery, the power and water, and—"

Don't forget the maniacal, suicidal inflation of the bubble. Arguably the greatest single mis-allocation of resources in history, aside from war.

"Setting aside the financial madness, the copyright fuckery, the power and water, and—"

Don't forget the willful destruction of creative livelihoods, the willful destruction of education itself.

"Setting aside the destruction of art, writing, and schools, the financial madness, the copyright fuckery, the power and water, and—"

Don't forget the purposeful degradation of human cognitive capacity. The planned and designed addictive dependency.

"Setting aside the cognitive degradation, the destruction of schools, the financial madness, the copyright fuckery, the power and water, and—"

Don't forget the ghoulish ethical camouflage used to obscure, indeed to erase, the responsibility for decisions in budget austerity, insurance claims, regulatory oversight, medical decisions, court filings, and even real-time combat.

"Setting aside the monstrous mechanisms of official irresponsibility, the cognitive degradation, the schools, the financial madness, the copyright fuckery, the power and water—"

Are you going to say it doesn't work?

"IT DOES NOT FUCKING WORK"

#ai

game level building tool where you can record little audio diaries like this anywhere in the world with your desk microphone at any point in development, they get stored in the same source depot as the level data and at the end of development you can choose to ship some or all of them as Source Engine-style floating developer commentary nodes that players can switch on and listen to.
It's Sunday Best day, and today I've drawn my golfsona from Super Battle Golf. I've always been a fan of the particular form of golf you get in videogames, where the sport is abstracted as plotting trajectory and velocity. It's trigonometry as a toy. A gentleman's shootbang. I'll create some mischief.
I’m rewatching old Star Trek episodes to see which ones pass the B’kdel Test:
(1) Two named Klingons
(2) Talking to each other
(3) About something other than honor

"we're not using ai for game assets, we're just using it for..."

coding: you don't care if the final product is a buggy mess that crashes my machine

visualization: you don't care if your ideas are orignal, you'd rather just copy stuff that looks good

writing our emails: you don't care about team communication or feedback and your game will probably suffer as a result
