Enjoying Heated Rivalry but it also makes me feel very lovelorn. Is this where I've been going wrong? Not being a world class ice hockey player?

I'm leaving where I live, abandoning my job, and am going to spend most of the year bumming around couch-surfing and looking for whatever comes next for me. What could possibly go wrong?

The new Holy Fuck track is great and I am looking forward to the new album, even if I'm in more of a Leslie Gore kind of mood at the moment.

Well done to Saudi Arabia for building the world's biggest ditch.
“Was it not humiliating to have to pretend that Saudi sustainability goals were legitimate while the construction materials and transportation behind its projects wrested more carbon from the earth than most small countries do in a year?” - @katewagner.wehwalt.net www.thenation.com/article/worl...
The Line, a Saudi Megaproject, Is Dead
It was always doomed to unravel, but the firms who lent their name to this folly should be held accountable.

Modest proposal: All the developers who want to use genAI pool all their copyrighted assets and IP into a database and train the AI on that. Then they will all be able to benefit from ripping off each other, fully consensually. Think they'll go for it?
I cannot stress this enough: this is not possible
in a literal technological sense: you cannot train an AI and expect even comprehensible results with under ~1 million pieces of data, nobody can supply all that with the variance needed. You can only achieve it through wanton scraping

Larian CEO says Divinity could have gen AI assets in it but only if the tools are trained on the studio's own data.
"If we use a GenAI model to create in-game assets, then it'll be trained on data we own."

Today I begin my campaign to win the second FIFA Peace Prize. I consider myself abundantly qualified, having started no wars, supported no despots and having kidnapped no heads of government. I have also never expressed the slightest interest in football.

My whole life, advocating war has been fed to me as “the adult position,” akin to drinking your coffee black or reading the business section of the newspaper. Let’s be very clear — war is the childish nonsense of impulsive destructive idiots playing baby-brained video games with real human lives.

Really surprised to see Pillion being advertised as a sexy romantic comedy, having now seen it. People, the film is a catalogue of abuse and manipulation. I don't think it's a bad film but it absolutely is not celebrating what it depicts. #filmsky
