Tragic. This funded my dissertation research and many of the students in our program.
NEW from me - NSF cancels grant scheme for social science research.

Seems the NSF quietly archived ALL calls for DDRIG grants in the SBE directorate. This is a massive blow for PhD students wanting to do cutting-edge social science research. 🏺🧪

telling people you wear sunscreen every day is the skin care equivalent of being a vegan. every single time someone in the room goes “well i WANT wrinkles, for every wrinkle you don’t get i’ll get two!!!” absolutely baffling

all set up for my first cosplay and the reviews so far are “you look like a gay IT guy” and “this is giving me the vibes of a theater kid who came up with a really good way to come out to their parents”

Said the phrase 'I'm over the moon!' to a Polish man and he was a little confused and asked what I meant so I explained and when I finished he just shook his head and said 'You're happy but you have no business in space.'

After a bird flu outbreak tore through Midwestern barns, killing millions of chickens and spiking egg prices, the federal government didn’t investigate if the virus was airborne.

So ProPublica did.

Absolutely terrifying reporting from @natlash.bsky.social:

speaking entirely for myself, but someone who is preeminently qualified to speak about LLMs (I have used them for over a decade) and how games are sold (13 years of doing that):

it costs more resources to convince people the benefits of your game using AI than the money you'd "save" using AI
"Surely there's a middle ground here?" The CEO of Helldivers 2 studio Arrowhead says people "jump to extreme takes" when debating generative AI, and that there needs to be more nuance in the discussion.

Hey there, I see everyone is talking about the value of getting human beings to voice for videogames

I just so happen to be one of those human beings that does voices for videogames, and if you like anything on this reel or any of my other work, I am available to do that!
