Same dude: “My game was developed without generative AI (except where I felt like using it)”

It's already in the Eldritch 2 credits, and it's a promise until it ships, whenever it ships.
NO GENERATIVE Al.
Eldritch 2 was developed without the use of generative AI.

| *have* used machine translation, just to give myself anything to work with while building out the localization pipeline. That might've accidentally used genAl, I dunno how it works on the backend. It absolutely will not ship.
Human translation or no translation.

witchsky.app/profile/did:... Incredible levels of desperate-for-engagement loser energy

Sam Rose 9 @samwho.dev

I remember when USB-C was first being introduced in consumer devices, one of the big new selling points was the ability to charge devices from other devices.
Do you ever actually do this?

Is this “journalism”

The verge
+ Terrence O'Brien is the Verge's weekend editor.
He's covered the tech industry for over 18 years and knows a thing or two about synths.
Most Americans don't trust Al. It's proven that it doesn't know what safe toppings for pizza are, People don't even want to listen to Al music. But none of that matters for some of America's wealthy, who are turning to Al to teach their kids instead of traditional schools.

About an hour or so outside Berlin lies an abandoned airship construction yard that’s been converted into a giant artificial tropical dome water park and as kitschy as it is I fucking love this type of shit

People should read Marx's Fragment on Machines, I'm begging you.
We want a world where people don't need to work to survive. That's the ideal. Focus on reshaping the economy to ensure everyone enjoys the fruits of automation.

If you're pro-Al and not part of the corporate elite, you need to ask yourself a question:
What makes you think you're safe?
Tech CEOs want to destroy *all* our jobs, not just the people currently suffering. You're not a special little exception, you're food like everyone else.

I do love that AI inadvertently confirms that our brains work like a muscle, too — use it or lose it. In this way relying on AI is like using a robot to lift weights, like running a marathon in a Honda Civic. You get nothing out of it.

“The road to transformative regenerative medicine leads directly to freedom of embodiment. There is no timeline in which humanity keeps the same hominid form factor and psyche into the future.” if you follow me this may be your jam, too

Screenshot of two slides from Michael Levin’s “A Talk for Mental Health Professionals,” watermarked “© Michael Levin.”

Top slide titled “This is Our Future:”. On the left is a cartoon waiting room with a clinician saying “NEXT!” to a line of unusual beings: a box-headed robot-like person, a human with a device on their head, a winged humanoid reading a book, a ghostly many-eyed form, and a partially visible clawed creature. On the right, text reads: “Non-neurotypical doesn’t even begin to cover it” and “These issues are not about ‘them’ - they’re about us (broader)”.

Bottom slide titled “Summary:” with bullet points:
“The road to transformative regenerative medicine leads directly to freedom of embodiment. There is no timeline in which humanity keeps the same hominid form factor and psyche into the future.”
Sub-bullet: “This is now, not sci-fi”
Second bullet: “The road to a mature species leads through overcoming our mind-blindness”
Sub-bullet: “This means understanding our nature, our origins, our potential, and the meaning of ‘our’.”

Well a “Brötchen” is diminutive of bread (so Breadlet or Breadling works) but means like a bread roll Wonder if when the hippo grows up they’ll just call her Brot

A tragedy in two parts

the fool@agnoster· Jun 10

Yeah I’m a centrist Like this guy

carding engines. The enormous destruction of machinery that occurred in the English
manufacturing districts during the first 15 years of this century, chiefly caused by the employment of the power-loom, and known as the Luddite movement, gave the anti-Jacobin govern nts of a Sidmouth, a Castlereagh, and the like, a pretext for the most reactionary and forcible measures. It took both time and experience before the workpeople learnt to distinguish between machinery and its employment by capital, and to direct their attacks, not against the material instruments of production, but against the mode in which they are used.

Many people are technical in this sense! Surely not “everyone”, even when you expand it “any techne whatsover”. Like I’m not sure there’s a point in widening “techne” to “any human practice at all”
