J'ai enfin lu ce très bel essai dédié aux monstres qui peuplent nos machines (bugs, trolls, daemons, avatars, bots, etc) et comment ils accompagnent notre relation au numérique. Il s'agit du dernier ouvrage de Nicolas Nova, parti brutalement l'année dernière. Ses réflexions me manquent beaucoup.

You should all play this.
I guess I can finally talk about my current editing project (and the game I've been obsessively playing over the holidays)—AP Thomson's surreal strategy game Titanium Court, which just got a few well deserved IGF noms! Been having a hard time stopping playing long enough to work on it. So good.

This is simply not technically possible. You cannot generate enough writing in-house to train an LLM. You cannot generate enough art in-house to train a GAN. People who think they have a model "trained on our own material" are using a base model of mass-scraped data, unknowingly or disingenuously.
Larian CEO says Divinity could have gen AI assets in it but only if the tools are trained on the studio's own data.

"If we use a GenAI model to create in-game assets, then it'll be trained on data we own."

I've been running an indie games studio for 15 years now, and it felt like a good time to boil down what I've learned into 4 pieces of advice:

I hope it's of use, not least because goddamn I forgot how long blog posts take to write.

Anyone withnessing the chaos and barbarism of the untrained thugs masquerading as law officers for the last nine months understands ICE is raw human trash gathered into a lawless street gang. That's all. This isn't policing. It isn't legal enforcement. It's just incompetent, undisciplined terror.

Human brains feed off of negativity. Negative thoughts are easily digested and play in a loop in your mind all of the time. The reality, however, is that there is also A LOT OF GOOD happening every single minute. You have to do more work to pay attention to the good but it's worth it.

These people just watched their neighbor get murdered in cold blood and immediately flooded the streets.

Every single time you feel helpless I need you to remember that there are more of us than there are of them. The only way we lose is if we fail to come together to stop them.
Live updates: Around 200 people marched more than two miles from the scene of the shooting to Minneapolis City Hall, shouting “ICE out now!” after police hurried away from the scene Wednesday afternoon.

The crowd of is continuing to snake its way through downtown.
Live: ICE agent shoots, kills woman in Minneapolis
Video of the shooting shows an agent firing at a vehicle as it drives toward him. The governor and Minneapolis mayor called for calm after the incident. ICE said the agent acted defensively.

can we all agree that when Discord becomes unusably bad we move to something self-hosted and open source instead to another stupid tech startup that will also become unusably bad in a few years
Discord filed confidentially for an initial public offering, according to people familiar with the matter, adding to a rapidly growing pipeline of venture capital-backed tech listings. bloom.bg/4plpBlz

Never mind all the charm and talent. That much of Isiah is always onscreen and utterly obvious.

Instead, a last word to let everyone know what isn't evidenced on film: He was an even better person than he was an actor; a warm and gracious delight of a man. Goodbye, friend.
"Whitlock didn’t steal scenes as much as he elevated them, becoming a part of the fabric of storytellers like David Simon and Spike Lee, who knew exactly how to use this stealthy genius,” writes @briantallerico.bsky.social in his tribute to the late Isiah Whitlock Jr.
