How do you launch a game as a service without a post launch run scheduled and budgeted? This keeps happening to an extent that I assume it’s part of the (stupid) plan.
Gonna open a restaurant, but if it’s not profitable by 7:30pm on day one, I’m gonna burn it down and blame the chef.
🚨 It looks like the UK government is gearing up to upend copyright law in favour of AI companies, legalising the theft of their work.
This is despite creatives' huge protests, and despite previous proposals being roundly rejected by the public.
Please spread the word.

The new world meta:
- Never trust the US, not now, not later either. It is clear that either its democracy can easily be made to fail, in which case you can't trust it - or its democracy is functioning, in which case you can't trust it.

Long live 2D animation (& practical effects).
We cannot and should not let generative AI take away these tiny, insignificant, but probably fun as hell jobs from artists

There was a time that the major driving force for AAA in my mind was stability. I had a belief that while I’d be a smaller fish that AAA would provide stability I wanted.

Amazon’s cloud unit has suffered at least two outages due to errors involving its own Al tools, leading some employees to raise doubts about the US tech giant’s push to roll out these coding assistants. Amazon Web Services experienced a 13-hour interruption to one system used by its customers in mid-December after engineers allowed its Kiro AI coding tool to make certain changes, according to four people familiar with the matter. The people said the agentic tool, which can take autonomous actions on behalf of users, determined that the best course of action was to “delete and recreate the environment”.

Sorry if this has been asked before, I might've missed it. I'm looking to learn more about LLMs and how they work to better inform my circle about how it works & its harms. Can you share threads/blogs/vids that can help understand LLMs ? (mainly the statistical part) Idk much about inner workings
I’m pretty confident in calling this fake. The user who posted it seems to be part of a substantial network of accounts with similar usernames all posting and commenting on each other’s content. Ironically it’s a great example of an AI agent making stuff up to tell you what you want to hear

For many years I've been trying to learn jazz piano. It's very hard. I often stall, or hit the the wrong notes. It doesn't sound as good as when a professional player plays. But, I've found a solution: MP3. I sit down, press play, and - bingo! I can now play all my favourite pieces flawlessly.
