Something else I’ve been thinking about with modern games is how much power is going into things like fancy lighting. And honestly, I don’t think I actually care that much. Especially when so many games for so long have had amazing lighting with simple lighting and creativity.

Dimon on why JPMorgan Chase is not funding WH Ballroom:
We have an issue, which is anything we do, since we do a lot of contracts with governments here and around the world, we have to be very careful how anything is perceived, and also how the next DOJ is going to deal with it.

I don’t like to hand anything to OSU simply because I find a lot of OSU fandom to be annoying. But this is pretty great.

Finished Outer Worlds 2. It was good. It had a far better main quest line than the first. The companion quest lines were also probably the most interesting to go through. I still feel like they’re struggling with some things though

This isn’t necessarily the worst part of these people, but one of the more annoying ones is any of these people (ESPECIALLY Johnson) thinking any of this is good science. It’s trash science at BEST.
Tomorrow Grimes will DJ a livestream of immortality influencer Bryan Johnson tripping on shrooms to determine its effect on longevity. Mr. Beast and the CEO of Salesforce will be there too.

Grimes is a fan of Bryan Johnson, the multimillionaire and immortality influencer who spends his time trying to fight death. He is perhaps best known for undergoing plasma transfusions with donations ...

"Gen AI" tells you the thing you are statistically most likely to accept so you keep using it— & research shows that most people who like "AI" like it *Because* it sycophantically tells them their ideas are great & should defs be implemented. So… Yeah.

A study by Dayforce shows 87% of executives use AI for work, compared to 57% of managers and just 27% of employees.
I think this explains the massive disconnect we see in how CEOs talk about AI versus everyone else. It also raises the question of how useful it truly is for frontline work?

Execs are embracing AI more than their employees are, new research suggests
Research from HR software company Dayforce suggests that executives are leaning into AI far more than their employees.

I wish it was easier to search for used Mach-E GT Rally models. It seems like Autotrader and others don't have any kind of criteria to only search for THAT version of the GT.

Makes me glad I mainly go to Lowe’s
🧵 Lowe's CEO, one of 8 Black Fortune 500 CEOs, stands firm on DEI.
"Championing Diversity Through Action: Ellison’s approach to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) is rooted in practical change rather than public statements"
Home Depot, meanwhile, allows ICE agents to raid its parking lots.
