Not just that, but the kinda comical public pulling back the curtain to show that a lot of us are going to lose our jobs, savings, and potentially houses, because the government prioritized giving welfare to like five mediocre white guys who weren’t bullied enough in childhood.

every big AI pitch is like “what if we took away your means of survival and devalued all your skills to make stonks go up temporarily? You’d like that wouldn’t you?”

I literally just turned in a round of edits to my editor at Bloomsbury for my book about the founding of JPL and the Suicide Squad, and this is painful to see.

JPL has been responsible for some of our most incredible achievements in science, and this is going to set us back.

A reminder that you don’t have to do this. You don’t have to do things that you know are wrong.

Honestly? Heartening to hear from leadership. IMO, less is more.

Vincent Becherer @vincentbecherer.bsky.social · 16h

Understandable.

Nice, congrats! Arcade cabinets are honestly so cool, and I'd love to own one myself if I ever have the means to!

I would have assumed that was already just the standard? At least at your guys’ level.

You want an illustration? Price A
You want an organized .psd file (which you will almost certainly be tinkering with post-delivery)? Price A + B.

Though maybe that’s my naïveté on the topic?

boost your user satisfaction and growth with this one weird trick (removing the shit everyone hates that you added for no reason)

r/SaaS
u/soasme
I deleted ALL AI features... and user growth went UP.

Everyone's busy adding Al to everything.
I did the same for indie10k.com but it didn't work.
I removed all of fancy Al stuff - Al coach, Al growth ideas, Al "personalized" advice - everything.
Guess what?
I see more registered users and higher retention.
That actually make me wonder why now i have one page with one button, without all that Al thingy, but it does better?
Here's my question:
Is Al feature actually helping SaaS grow?

Inflation hasn’t been this bad since the Great Depression in the 1930ies..
There was no peace on day one
Farmers struggle as crops rot, because there’s no workers
There is no job creation, as labor statistics are negative
Economy on brink of Recession
No Scientific progress

I'm fascinated with both Sierra and Lucasfilm Games games. How they get so much out of, what is essentially, only *one* gameplay mechanic (point-and-click) is astounding.

Have you ever given Thimbleweed Park a look?

OverClocked ReMix (We ♥ video game music!) 🎮🎵 @ocremix.org · 2d

25 years in, we are NOT allowing genAI music onto OC ReMix, full stop.

We're 100% against genAI music and are a community geared toward authentic creativity and artistic development. You don't get that by doing text prompts.

Recent comment: "This A.I. music is as fake as 🏈 🦇."

In this case, this is human-made. (3 of our judges panel are also involved as collaborators on it: jnWake, pixelseph, and paradiddlesjosh.)

We explicitly do NOT accept any music made with generative A.I. There are tools out there that help identify genAI music. If music involving genAI is ever unknowingly let on, it will be removed if it's discovered.

UPS is 'disposing of' U.S.-bound packages over customs paperwork problems

Shifting Trump tariffs have created a nightmare for UPS, as thousands of packages from overseas pile up at its hubs while they await customs clearance.

if we'd treated their obvious baldfaced lies and deflections more like this over the past eight years maybe we wouldn't be in this situation

shocking how easy it is when you actually see it done

STEPHANOPOULOS: I didn't insinuate anything. I asked you whether Tom Homan accepted $50k as was heard on an audio tape recorded by the FBI in September 2024. You did not answer the question. Thank you for your time.
