Je sais que ça peut sembler paradoxal, et je le dis tout le temps, mais plus on recherche la «performance», plus on crée des situations de compétition et domination entre personnes, et globalement une ambiance pourrie. (À l'opposée de la «république des Lettres» que devrait être l'idéal égalitaire.)

This makes me realize that most of my work is powered by pride (I made this) and anger (I can’t let them get away with that).
Maybe also sloth (I’ll finish this, then I can rest).

You know what you miss using GenAI? Pride. That incredible dopamine surge when YOU did the thing, however sloppily at first, never mind when you stick it.
You're missing the point. 3/4

The malicious compliance aspect of this is that students can apparently now submit a complaint against every professor in the university and shut the whole place down indefinitely.
From the Oklahoma U student paper: the school is now saying it will automatically suspend faculty (with pay) in response to student complaints

The fun thing about being biracial is that because colonialism doesn't like being reminded that race and ethnicity aren't immutable categories, society makes sure you're never actually welcome anywhere.
I guess that's less "fun" and more "this sucks."

whenever I'm like "hey if there's no game jobs, then there's no game jobs, I'll just quit already", I'll get a message like this, and it makes me realize.
We're indies, we share knowledge and skills, and help each other out. That's what this industry is about, for me.

So I learned recently that you're the pixel artist that did the assets for Unity's isometric 2D tutorial. Little Rocket Lab actually started from that exact tutorial and was build into what it is today. So thank you for helping me get my start on the game!

j'avoue une déformation, j'ai tendance, par défaut, à considérer que tout projet où un moyen IA est censé résoudre un problème social comme étant un moyen de donner du fric à des boîtes de tech
Je suis sans doute obtus, mais, si je vois très bien en quoi cela permet de signaler que quelqu'un s'est mis à courir (ce qui peut signaler un sac à main volé), je ne vois pas en quoi cela permet de détecter les mains aux fesses ou similaire.
ça monte doucement, la vidéo surveillance algorithmique pour lutter contre les violences faites aux femmes dans les transports. "Les femmes" y seraient favorables (89 % selon un sondage introuvable dont @numerama.com ne met pas de lien).
