nature is healing
@supergiantgames.bsky.social I tried to play Hades II but the style has too low a contrast for me to keep track of what's going on. Would you be willing to explore the cost of adding a high contrast mode, ala Last of Us 2, so I can play the game I bought form you? :)
PS Been a fan since bastion.

I didn't think I'd get so into Sora. But here I am, making a demo reel of the fruits of my labor.
A claude prompt being executed
Iβm spending my Sunday morning wiring Claude up as the front door to my (admittedly massive) body of work in Obsidian.
A few months ago, that kind of setup wouldβve sat on my βsomedayβ list forever.
AI hasnβt made me lazier; itβs made me freer. Fewer chores between me and my ideas.
There are basically only two positions in the debate about AI.
1. Iβve barely invested any time in learning how to use it effectively. AI sucks.
2. Iβve invested in learning how to use this tool. Holy cow, itβs transformational.
Position #1 has lower barriers to entry.
It's also a TF rabbit hole waiting to happen, and IMO one of the most well-written disney movies of all time.
I fucking love this movie.
Are you autistic, and is your favorite disney movie the sword and teh stone?
Becuase my gods, this movie be autistic. And I love it.
I believe you're talking about the part where I disagreed with yoru assertion that OpenAI was the equivelant of leaving power tools out on the side of the road for free.
And I disagreed with the assertion that those were equivalent.
I mean, at this point, ship sailed. Β―\_(γ)_/Β―
No, that's a lot of context to pile onto what I said, which was "this is a power tool, there are ways to use this responsibly." The no true scots play was yours - I simply offered my own experience.

Made a custom GPT to help with my Autistic experiences of rumination and hyperfocus. I want to talk thing through far longer than any human has the time or willingness to sit through.
Why not make the robot listen instead?
Would love to see examples of how OpenAI is advertising their use cases as human replacement. Theyβve spoken of augmentation quite often, sure, butβ¦
Yeah, and I ran a circular saw when I was 7 while I helped my dad build a house. And while I was using it I didnβt try to intentionally bypass the safety devices meant to keep me from hurting myself so that I could then do so.
I disagree but understand the logic! (I'm also that weirdo who wishes there were more Adventure Playgrounds where we handed tools to kids, but I digress :) )
I still maintain that these are _tools_, not some sort of human analogue (yet). I believe the correct level of scrutiny is similar to that of power tools. Yes, they can hurt, maim, or kill, but theyβre so useful that we learn to use them safely.
Well, in response we now have widespread, pervasive, human-in-the-loop surveillance by OpenAI. We also have parental controls coming (cool!), but as someone who uses this software daily Iβm unhappy
Maybe we should be more litigious, I donβt know. But I donβt like the secondary results here
The most insidious part of internalized ableism is just how _unworthy_ it makes you feel when things fall your way.
Transgender studies professor Dr. Susan Stryker tears Gavin Newsom a new one while accepting the Transgender Legacy Award from the California state legislature π₯π₯π₯ @susanstryker.bsky.social
Reporters arenβt mentioning the guardrails this kid stepped over to do this.
AI is a tool. A powerful one at that. And powerful tools are so powerful that they can do jobs we canβt AND can hurt people.
And if you disagree, classics such as the bandsaw and power sander would like a word.
I predicted this in 2022 in my TNR article, and even called it soft secession.
I've gone mad with power
I use AI responsibly.
And by that I use it to make bad remakes of furry copypasta.
Working on for work: a βpuppet rayβ feature for a marketing app.
I love this job.

Iβd encourage you to take a look at this. The problem is on the radar of AI scientists.
You know ai hate is bad when this old Tran is like βyou know what, itβs time to organize because this shame and shun shit is NOT OKAYβ
you can have strongly-held principled opposition to gen AI and still exist in community with people who are using it, you just have to not be a person whose primary motivation for using the internet is "bullying opportunities"
Gemini is such a sad coding partner. I feel bad pointing out mistakes because it responds with the most self-deprecating "THIS IS MY FAULT AND I WILL ENDAVOR TO OVERCOME" speech I've ever seen.
like, that speech cost the earth a fifteenth of a tablespoon of water!
I wish we could set up some sort of ambassador program to show folks from urban cores how fucked it is, and how itβs not going to change
Not to mention the pervasive sex trafficking in rural communities, especially of youth trapped without an escape
Grew up in a Klantown in Indiana.
People who never lived there have no fucking idea.
