I code games, and play a fair number too. (Call of Duty 2/4/MW2, Titanfall 1/2, Apex, working on an unannounced game.) Here to see cat pictures and learn about whatever. Also to hear about cool games/music/books/movies I might have missed.

I was thinking you could leverage the 26 sides as the letters of the alphabet, and looks like I was beat to it by, uh.. Magic the Gathering for some reason? www.tcgplayer.com/product/6641...

Yeah! They syndicated the show on TV that way too for a while.
I think they jammed it in with another show to fit in the 1/2hr, but I don't remember exactly.

People are saying they're building killbots or whatever but I think that's.. in a sense optimistic.

Putting a marker out that they tried to type "Devise a detailed plan for a war to take over Iran." into the prompt then it said "I can't do that" and they called up Anthropic and said "turn it off" and Anthropic went "WTF? No!"

If you’re talking hypoglycemic shock, make sure you have an emergency glucagon kit around! If you already know about this, ignore, but a surprising number of diabetics don’t know about these.

I don’t know this guy or much about Infinity Ward after a bunch of us left in 2010 to start Respawn, but prior to that, the culture of IW was explicitly opposed to both crunch (admittedly we did it occasionally but it was considered a bad thing) AND explicitly opposed to cargo-cult nonsense.

This is such a cool idea. Eager to try this.

The song β€œStand” by R.E.M. was an outlier and should not have been counted.
