I'm doing the game dev thing again.
Shit, the last game I did is from 2013(!). Wow.

No stress.

Spassiger Zeitvertreib, mit verschenktem Gameplay-Potential.
Einfaches abräumen reicht, kleveres Planen wird nicht belohnt, ob ich jetzt einen Virus oder 5 nacheinander abräume.

Aber für 'ne halbe Stunde zwischendurch taugt es immer noch.

This , this, 1000% this!

GenAi companies, wether they be OpenAi, Meta, Google and so on, are absolutely out of control.

However, WE have so much power in our hands if we just pay attention, call, send letters, and vote! Yes, even in this messed up era.

Mark Zuckerberg has a vision for how A.I. could be used in Meta's universe.

But the actor and filmmaker Joseph Gordon-Levitt is here to point out a flaw in the technology: an apparent lack of guardrails around how the company's chatbot interacts with underage users. nyti.ms/3ILwCNo

one day i’ll share my music briefs so you can see how much of a genius gabe is & how he did so much with so little

this goes so hard & i think all he got from me was something like “escape from new york & unsolved mysteries had a baby & i saw one of the babies & one of the babies looked at me”
