The DHS funding bill is effectively dead in the Senate.
Iโve added the script for Wake Up Dead Man to my site. This is the final shooting script, so it has stuff that was cut and moved around, which I always think is more interesting to see than a conformed cleaned up version. Enjoy! www.rian-johnson.com/screenplays

see more stylistic variation as well as actual engagement/comments/etc. (Granted, a lot of them are "how did you get it to do X?" questions, but there's still a fair bit of "i really like that one")
But of course the stuff that actually gets eyeballs is the low-effort spam :|
I think it really depends on where they're being posted. A lot of the stuff that's visible is made by engagement farm types who post to...I guess I'd say "general" communities? And they have a very particular/lazy aesthetic to them, like you said. But within genAI-specific communities you tend to
I cannot post on social media what I hope happens to everyone involved with this depravity.
Saw someone talk about materials literacy and I canโt stop thinking about it. Its the thing that has made people believe all tshirts are the same and should be $5
I can now trace a direct line of cause-and-effect between โI checked out Maplecroft from the library some years ago,โ to โI have a new dog.โ The world is a wild place.

Iโm in Issaquah if thatโs local enough?
If you're a fan of Ann Leckie and/or Arkady Martine (and why wouldn't you be), and/or discussions of empire and imperialism in science fiction, let me point you towards this conversation between the two on that very topic:

Working in games means your answer to the question "If you could do anything you wanted in life, what would it be?" isn't a different career, but the same career in a kinder version of the same industry.
Passengers were significantly more likely to offer their seat when Batman was present (67.21% vs. 37.66%, ORโ=โ3.393, pโ<โ0.001).
I don't mind AI itself but good *lord* do I hate how much it's gotten crammed everywhere. The impact of shoving a prompt into every single google search - that nobody wants! - is boggling.
Though it's also just the latest result of valuing "convenience" over control in tech that I blame Apple for.
Thereโs an objectively correct answer to this question and itโs from a video game and Iโm tired of anyone pretending itโs anything other than the one we all know it is
Rude Rude or impolite, including crude language and disrespectful comments, without constructive purpose. Highlighted Off, darkened Warn, and darkened Hide buttons.
If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.
KINOPHOBIA (and this is the last time I'll link it for at least a day, promise) is out now. Parser/database thriller/interactive fiction/horror/mystery. Movies and gore. $0. brunodias.itch.io/kinophobia
Quit waving people through intersections when you have the right-of-way. It isn't nice, nice would be you actually following fucking traffic laws
Iโve found I really enjoy 2nd person + limited 3rd person interiority (not sure if thereโs a better term for it). I can vibe with being assigned actions, but โI would not think/feel thatโ is hard for me to get past.
A character creation screen for an ASCII roguelike. The selected character is "Jubbilex the Annihilator," a Demon Tourist. An info panel describes the Tourist class.
#devtober day 6. Character creation! Fun to see just how much of the data definitions I can toss into Lua to enable mod capabilities.
A screenshot of a terminal-based roguelike. Fog-of-war shows dimmed icons where the player has previously seen, full color where the player can currently see, and hides everything else. A game log shows in a panel to the right, with some sample messages.
#devtober day 5. Finally got to a point where I'm not just setting up architecture and moving around a grid of dots.
(Sadly, "embedding Lua in my game" isn't particularly screenshottable.)
fascinating that "no, the computer is not alive" and "yes, it's questionable to gleefully say anti-computer phrases modeled after racial slurs" are two thoughts people are struggling to reconcile
Protomen Part 3 Album cover - This City Made us a character stares into the city as in the distance a giant beam of light shoots from the mountains into the cloudy sky.
