Sam Altman has said any workers who are displaced by OpenAI will be given free transportation to the nearest culling facility where they will be summarily slaughtered and converted into a nutritious paste meant to be consumed by busy tech executives who don’t have time for regular meals.

Sam Altman explains Open AIs vision for a world where no one goes hungry because all the displaced workers will be converted into essential nutrients for other tech executives.

Ok we have liftoff! (Still have to tweak the controls a lot, and wait for more parts before putting it together properly)

If you don’t see the link between ICE and the IDF, you haven’t been paying attention. We are being asked to accept a world where whole communities are made disposable and marked for disappearance. If we accept that for anyone, no one is safe anywhere.

I don't blame you he was a pain!! I ended up loading up on defense and spamming items at him, and accepting a watery parasitic fate to hide from his bullshit. Took at least a dozen tries.

Believe old game devs when we tell you: burnout is real, it's painful. Be honest with yourself, take the breaks when you need them.
I've been burnt out for so long, I only just realized how long. I went from crunch at Iridium into crunch at Giant Squid with no break. About 3 years. It was too long.

Three indie games, three different takes on a digital nightmare. While Proximate, Without a Dawn, and Dead Letter Dept. differ in their approaches, the takeaway is the same: our very perception of the world has been warped by systems outside our control. youtu.be/0zxQ9YAzy00

That's right. It's time for part 3 of the FPS series; this time, a lot of assorted thoughts on what makes for good enemy design. This one was fun as hell to write.

building a better first person shooter part 3: enemy mine

So! First, we talked about a specific subgenre of first person shooter, loosely starting with Unreal and Half-Life and dying off around…

Paid protesting is literally happening in my town, with people being paid by some rich right-wing nutjob to hold clipboards and get folks to sign petitions against trans rights.

Yet another example of the right condemning things that aren't happening on the left but they themselves ARE doing.

For that matter... How do folks AT MICROSOFT get "clean" screenshots of their own apps without the rounded corners?

TetroniMike @tetronimike.bsky.social · 2d

@jenmsft.bsky.social hey Jen! Question. I'm trying to get screenshots of a piece of software at a particular resolution, not fullscreen, for reasons. W11 adds rounded corners to the bottoms of windows, is there any way to disable these, or a screenshot tool that doesn't "cut corners" (buh dum tish)?

I don't post many threads but I've started writing everything up in a separate app and then copying over and editing to fit the character limit of each post. Or just writing it all in one post and when satisfied cut/pasting sections out as replies one by one.

Next step is I'd like to start researching paid search engine alternatives that reject AI, and pick one and see how that works out.
