My game company isn't.
Via Reddit, I've seen the recent developments in AI-generated video.
All I'm gonna say - if you have young or aging family members, you *need* to start making very clear they must *not* trust video anymore, to assume that anything they see online, EVEN a video, is false until proven otherwise.

One curious thing on this site about speaking out against the encroachment of LLMs is that inevitably you get accused of being anti-tech. I don’t hate technology. I’ve used machine learning in my own code before. But I also recognize that oligarchs are so hellbent on pushing this tech for a reason.

Am I the only one who keeps being surprised, whenever I see that *thing* that this is what the newest iPhone looks like?!
Looks aren't everything but I think for mass-market phones it's a pretty important design consideration, and this looks waaaay over-engineered for an Apple product.

Fewer people even need to consider the iPhone Pro this time around, but there's a lot to like here for actual "pros" and people who demand a lot from their phones.

They probably need to ban the use of DLSS internally, give their team "ordinary" computers as defined by the Steam Survey, and insist they use them. Management too.
Developers sometimes have absolute monster machines and carefully calibrated monitors, and this leads to complacency.

Wow, as they'd already said there would be no VR stuff I didn't watch it - but it's sounding like that was a good call as all signs I'm seeing suggest that the keynote at MetaConnect was an absolute shitshow

In recent weeks, I feel that we have found that all too many people can look at a person and mistake civility in their appearance for goodness of their intent, directness of their words for debating from a true position of good faith, and quiet within their spaces for happiness within their nation.

PSA: If you use MailChimp.
They've REMOVED the ability for free users to send a receipt email when people sign up for a mailing list.
This basically makes the service near-useless for non-paying users, as most people encourage mailing list signups using some sort of freebie; can't do that now.

So The Acolyte... Wasn't great. Some great fight scenes, and I really liked the premise, but honestly the show left me really cold.
But this is a good take. Jacinto was great, and his character's goal was cool:
