Maybe write up a blog sometime about the experience, the process, and anything to look out for. Would love to read.

I feel like people think "birds are dinosaurs" is a weird fun fact that is "technically true" but I don't know how to emphasize that there are tens of thousands of species of theropod dinosaur on the planet with us right now. People keep them AS PETS.

WE EAT THEM.

the watchers: how openai, the US government, and persona built an identity surveillance machine that files reports on you to the feds 53MB of source code leaked from a government endpoint. 269 verification checks. biometric face databases. SAR filings to FinCEN. and the same company that verifies your ChatGPT account.

so it turns out that the identity verification provder persona, with its well documented links to peter thiel from the epstein files and palintir, is keeping all data of targets and linking them to intelligence databases and watch lists, exactly like you suspected

it's kinda fucked up that we universally agree that if a programmer lacks art skills, them resorting to using ai is wrong...

but a lot of artists seem to be okay with using ai, just because they lack the programming skills

where do we draw the line? what makes one ethical and the other one not?

- use stock assets for MVP
- realize most solo games take years and adjust expectations for yourself
- get other people to help
- make it text-based or otherwise light on graphics
- use code to create assets (e.g. Sonic-Pi for audio)

Really nuts how many men were like "Me Too went too far, and I need to email Jeffrey Epstein about it."

This year's GlobalGameJam theme was "Mask", so I'm going to try to generate some semblance of pixel art masks... (pixel art cuz that's my regular drawing style)

Sadly didn't get to participate in the jam, but this will be a fun endeavour :3

That's nice. Learning is the fun part imo. I like learning new fun stuff. I think I will also make an algorithmic pfp generator.

Not only did the cybercrime unit in Paris raid the X offices.

They rubbed it in and posted on X that the X offices have been raided.

Then retired their Twitter account, so their final post is that they are raiding Musk.

Absolute legend.

Doesn't matter what the output is used for. The ethical problems lie in how the inputs are curated and how the model is evolved. So both are equally problematic and for the same reasons. There is no difference.

Procedurally generating using your own code would be the way to go. Don't see the point in using unethically sourced probabilistic word predictor to generate such simple code...

cuts deep. having graduated and not getting a job over a year now, feels like everything i've done so far has been no more than toys. there's some truth to it, but the learnings were real. i learned a lot from all my projects. but nothing seems to be enough to "make it" in the world right now...

Original post on mastodon.social

I never understood why so many men associate with imagery of predatory animals.

My idealized version of my own masculinity is best represented by a tree. Patient. Immensely endurant. Self-sufficient. Unbothered by trivial, ephemereal affairs. Innately kind to the world around it.

I don't want […]

photo of an opossum crouched in the corner of a slightly opened garage. over the picture is the text:

Hello, I'm the Opossum in your garage [doue paw print emoji]
β€’ I came in because it's 12Β°F
outside and I have no body fat
β€’ I am not aggressive-that hissing means I'm terrified
β€’ I eat 5,000 ticks per season (you're welcome)
β€’ I am nearly immune to rabies-my body
temperature is too low
β€’ I will leave on my own if you leave the garage door cracked tonight

Please don't call animal control. I'm not a pest. I'm a Lyme disease prevention unit, just trying not to freeze.
