There aren't any good books on cat physics "just use a normal physics book" they say

No, cat does not work like that

Take a break from scrolling and make something even if it isn't very good

Especially if it isn't very good

It's everything terrible about gambling and if you lose you get medical debt and you have to do it every year and the game changes just a little each time but the buy in is always higher and your odds are always worse

One frustrating thing in the AI backlash is people so excited to hate on AI "artists" but wont support HUMAN artists. You have to do both. My songs get 1/6 of the engagement as a dumb selfie, same for everyone else. If you only dogpile AI & dont support art, AI is all we'll have.

It's tempting to believe that the KCKPD is a mess, but it's operating more or less as designed just like most other police departments www.wired.com/story/hack-e...

I only share videos posted by Löded Diper

Andrew Turley @aturls.bsky.social · 1d

I've seen some people say that they look at the videos for indicators that they're fake

That used to be easy

It may still be possible

But I'm not sure that's going to be the case for much longer

You need to accept that they'll get harder and harder to spot and act accordingly

Look folks gen AI videos are out in the wild so if you weren't already being careful about sharing rage bait videos then now is a great time to start

If you can't trace a video back to a trusted source then I recommend leaving it where it is, like a slice of bologna you found on the street

I'm kind of excited about the prospect of getting a question like this in a job interview and laying them to waste

Might even pick up a nice employment discrimination settlement on the way out

Stupid games, stupid prizes, etc

Being an old timer, I firmly believe that a game should consist entirely of mechanics and that its culture should be transmitted exclusively by the comic book that ships with the cartridge

We all have buttons that can be pushed, no matter how rational and discerning we believe ourselves to be

Nothing good will come from getting worked up over videos of shit that didn't happen (even if "it feels like it could have happened")

Your default response to video should be skepticism
