Philosophically speaking, Rogue Vibe may be one of the first *true* computer games.

The art, music, dungeons, interactions, platform, medium, code...all generated (to some degree larger than 50%) by code itself.

Check it out.

Everything you see there was created in the last month.

Rogue Vibe

A turn-based soulslike roguelike. An adventure beyond adventure. Come join us in the Multiverse Valhalla! Uh, have you seen my phone?

Obviously the gas station has "start your engines".

4, T: increase current speed by 1. If already at max speed, does 3 damage to any target.

4, T: create two Food tokens.

Activation cost for ursa's gas station and convenience store is reduced by two for each other convenience store or gas station at this location.

A much better question.

Why are they not following up on all his lies from previous appearances?

Why do they treat every appearance like a blank slate?

Why not give him some questions in writing beforehand?

Why not actually challenge his lies?

The answer to all of these is money.

This is so fucked up.

The guy literally has a link to a Nazi website. It is in his official signature.

Note: it's VERY HARD to teach AI's to lie the way one wants to consistently.

Same as humans, natch.

As someone who has been going to big protests since we (well, everyone else, it was obv from the getgo) realized that George had lied about wmd, I think you'll enjoy the vibe.

It is almost always very positive.

Because people enjoy exercising their rights and their legs at the same time.

Nicholas Grossman @nicholasgrossman.bsky.social · 1d

Is politics weighing on you? Does it ever make you feel alone, like "everyone" is on board with awful things and "no one" cares (or close)?

Then you should go to a No Kings protest. That feeling isn't uncommon, but it's a trick. Go be around some of the many people who agree with you. You'll see.

He really should run for office and show everyone how it's done.

4 panel comic

Panel 1: A group of people just having a lovely time. Everyone is laughing

Panel 2: An absolute Federal Agent appears in the middle of the group laughing like an obnoxious robot

Panel 3: The group quickly disperses, leaving the gross creepy agent by himself

Panel 4: The agent touches his ear and says “arrest their moms”

Forgetting that top and bottom perspectives are the ones that actually really define the size and scope of things.

Wah @robotpirateninja.com · 1d

Americans are so poorly served by our media which we wrongly perceive for some reason as having both left and right perspectives.

I'd love to see someone try to estimate just how much time and money has gone into research that is either fully undermined by reliance on LLMs or fully pointless --- because obvious if you start from an understanding of what LLMs actually are.

www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Screen cap from linked article, with heading Significance and then text:

Large Language Models (LLMs) are used in evaluative tasks across domains. Yet, what appears as alignment with human or expert judgments may conceal a deeper shift in how “judgment” itself is operationalized. Using news outlets as a controlled benchmark, we compare six LLMs to expert ratings and human evaluations under an identical, structured framework. While models often match expert outputs, our results suggest that they may rely on lexical associations and statistical priors rather than contextual reasoning or normative criteria. We term this divergence epistemia: the illusion of knowledge emerging when surface plausibility replaces verification. Our findings suggest not only performance asymmetries but also a shift in the heuristics underlying evaluative processes, raising fundamental questions about delegating judgment to LLMs.

Sentence starting with "While models often" is highlighted in blue.
