"But when the team looked at the employees’ actual work output, they found that the developers had completed tasks 20% slower when using AI than when working without it. Researchers were stunned. “No one expected that outcome. We didn’t even really consider a slowdown as a possibility.”

The entire U.S. economy is being propped up by the promise of productivity gains that seem very far from materializing.

I’ve always been easy to get sick playing some games, esp first person games, and it’s been worse lately. I kept treating it like a mystery til it dawned on me that maybe rupturing my damn eardrum a few months ago would make that worse no wonder 😭😭 I hope it goes back to my baseline eventually.

I got a chip on my shoulder from caring for someone since I was born that this country hasn’t given a shit about and I’m never too tired to be a menace to a politician propping this shit up

not offended by the memory care jokes at all but I cannot express the rage I feel every time I see him exhibit the behaviors that land someone in one of those places from the White House knowing my mom is in one I have to watch like a hawk to make sure her needs are met.

Would appreciate it if folks could report this account pretending to be Chris. Love the shitty, extra not helpful X system for reporting scams.

Christopher Livingston @chrislivingston.bsky.social · 15d

Since I left Twitter, naturally I am now being impersonated on Twitter, and naturally I cannot report this impersonation without having a Twitter account. It's a great system. Here's the fraud account if anyone knows how to help.

This is a five alarm Ted Game. I am so excited for Sword Hero. www.pcgamer.com/games/rpg/th...

The solo dev behind RPG Sword Hero is promising a 'seamless open world' with amazing combat, intricate simulation, and systemic dismemberment—the demo on Steam makes me think they can pull it off

So yeah I mean like this is suppression of freedom of the press. Journalism organizations and outlets should be throwing their biggest dicked lawyers at the state to keep Mario from being disappeared, just out of professional solidarity, but we know they won’t.
