my favorite one of these is in iirc baten kaitos, where you enter an area and then get ferried off somewhere else as part of the cutscene. there's a chest extremely visible on the screen you run through. you could not have opened it before the cutscene, and you can't return until a dozen hours later

couldn’t be more representative of the current media landscape that the video trump posted of him dumping his own shit on people “appeared to be” ai generated. we have to hear out both sides of this, it could be real, who’s to say

The New York Times @nytimes.com · 1d

President Trump posted what appeared to be an A.I.-generated video on social media showing him wearing a crown and flying a jet labeled “King Trump” that dumps brown liquid on protesters. He shared the video on Saturday, the same day that protesters participated in mass “No Kings” demonstrations.

"appeared to be" is cracking me up. Like we can't say for sure whether or not Trump was really pooping on all those people, maybe it was real

It's miserable to see Gamers* simply not care about genAI usage in Embark's games, because I genuinely think it's maybe the biggest act of "shooting yourself in the foot" you can do to your game's identity and cultural impact.

I genuinely wonder when people are gonna start voting with their wallets and stop rewarding companies for using AI, Arc Raiders using it for genAI voices is frankly disgusting and it blows my mind that some people will defend it, and now Arc Raiders is sitting at 3rd top selling on Steam

The PS2 truly is the best console ever because it is constantly becoming more powerful. Each time we say something "looks like a PS2 game" we're talking about a game of a higher fidelity than the last. What the PS2 is capable of in 2025 is so far beyond what it was capable of in 2003. That's amazing

I made a map of La-Mulana!

I've tried to hand-draw every nook and cranny of the ruins. There are still a couple things to touch up, and I'm sure I made some mistakes; let me know if you notice any. 💕

A detail of the La-Mulana map. A title reads "the cartography zome; La-Mulana". There are some illustrations of huts.

This remains the funniest way to hear about an internet outage, though.

A woman who rang ABC Sydney radio said she found out about the Optus outage from her cat.

The cat has an automatic wi-fi feeder (connected to Optus) & when breakfast wasn't delivered at 6:10 am, the cat went to the bedroom to lodge a complaint with management.

it just fully appears that the more that techbros think a position is replacable the more it desperately actually needs a human being doing it

This person is paying OpenAI two hundred dollars a month to have a chatbot gaslight them about making an excel spreadsheet

Cannot generate simple excel files on pro version
Question
So I have used ChatGPT pro for a while now and recently I have been facing an issue while trying to collate data from pdfs and put it in an excel sheet where in my chat it keeps asking me questions when it finally gets down to generating an excel sheet it never gives me the me the link to download the file.
After multiple attempts when it does give me a lin k to download the excel file I rec an error which says file not found. Starting to grow frustrated with this now.
Look forward to any suggestions to tackle this #problem

when the bubble finally pops we should tally up every job and how often they're suggested to be so throwaway that you should use AI for it & boost the salary for all those positions for everyone some several thousand dollars

When I worked at a movie theater a coworker had broken his ankle so they had a chair in the box office for him and we would use it when he wasn’t on shift with us and then management found out and took the chair away and made him have to bring it downstairs himself every time he clocked in

i miss zag's energy a lot but it's definitely a worthy sequel. I rolled credits one of my last sessions and am hoping the story unfurls some more bc that's the main thing I'm feeling like I'm missing out on from the first game
