This sounds insane but it is, apparently, real and now I gotta go process that I guess 🤢💀
In Mr Beast’s new video, a woman is alone for two weeks on a platform in the sky. and each day, a balloon is released at an inopportune moment for her. And if she fails to shoot the balloon with an arrow, they take a small portion of the platform that is her home

NY Times: “This a presidency that celebrates nastiness and spite, not empathy or grace, a reflection, perhaps, of a coarser era in American life.”

One take from a former Larian artist, following my interview with Swen Vincke this morning:
consider my feedback: i loved working at @larianstudios.com until AI. reconsider and change your direction, like, yesterday. show your employees some respect. they are world-class & do not need AI assistance to come up with amazing ideas.

If I had known the two paragraphs about genAI in my article today would be so controversial, I would have expanded them a bit! Here's a rough transcript of the relevant portion of my interview with Swen Vincke, so everyone has all the context. (Full article here: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...)

It’s true that the right is trying to kill you and the left is just annoying sometimes.
On the one hand, it doesn’t speak well of the people who can’t tell the difference.
On the other hand, it does say something about how annoying we all can be sometimes.

I think the best way to explain the X vs Bluesky preference is whether a person thinks the left is more annoying than the right is dangerous.
The reason so many Noah Smiths end up on the X side of that equation is that while the left annoys them personally, the right mostly endangers other people.

losing my mind watching people genuinely complain that there wasn’t enough ‘variety’ in their awards show because Expedition 33 - a game that is exceptional in almost every way - won several awards for being exceptional in almost every way

for those asking if I think there should be a limit on how many categories a game can be nominated for: no, dummy, if different departments produce exceptional work it would be incredibly unfair not to acknowledge them individually/shut up, enjoy the rare blessing that is a game being THAT good

Looks like Spotify figured out how to be shittier than their previous record as a company whose founder funds an AI-powered war drone startup, by now running ads for ICE on their platform. It was a low bar, but they managed it!

“Wow! Season 2 doesn’t swear as much as season one! The writing is so much better” No season 2 swears about as much as season 1. Season 1 truly doesn’t swear as much as you think. You have literally created false fucks in your mind because the internet said so. It’s fascinating

Got mad that Netflix took off Crimson Peak so I bought the DVD and watched it that way. Good decisions were made. ✨
