Estragon: We always find something, eh Didi, to give us the impression we exist?

Vladimir: Yes, yes, we're magicians.
Well, at least it wasn't as bad as 2020.

Modern communication means that while I was afk for exactly 3 minutes (according to time stamps) to go to the loo, someone called me 9 times on Teams, 1 time on phone, 1 time on mobile, sent 2 messages on Teams, and messaged me once on phone ...to ask if I got their mail.

Is this scripted?

We spoke to a dozen professional concept artists who are currently or have previously worked in game development about whether generative AI image tools have made their jobs any easier.

Zero said it did. Most said it made things harder.

Concept Artists Say Generative AI References Only Make Their Jobs Harder
“The ‘early ideation stages’, when worlds are being fleshed out by writers and artists, are literally crucial to the development of a game’s vision,” said one artist.

Same. Try visualizing an apple? Psh! Try NOT visualizing an apple.

Or the gross body condition you didn't need to hear about. In 4k.

Or weird representations of abstract concepts when reading non-fiction.

It can be pretty distracting at times to have constant head kino overlapping with vision.

Woke up today to a burnt smell. Charging cable of the phone had a short and left a brown spot on the bed sheet.

Since the thing is usually right next to my pillow I'm just happy it didn't do that while I was still completely knocked out.

The reception of adding mustard gas to our Air 2.0 release has been exceptional - 98% of breathing organisms now enjoy mustard gas on a daily basis.

People may claim to hate mustard gas, but the numbers don't lie. Our mustard gas factories are running on maximum capacity to keep up with demand.

Oh no! The [thing] you like has been over-enshittified!

Will you switch to:

A: Honest but poorly maintained variant with less features
B: Robust but functionally unusable nerd version
C: 0.01% less shitty commercial alternative
D: Too tired for this dance, fuck [thing], I quit

Bweh. FF already required kicking its config in the gonads several times to de-enshittify for the past several years. If they bake it in, I will need to find a fork.
Mozilla has a new CEO and he just announced that Firefox will evolve into a modern AI browser. This is a good example of how management doesn’t understand its own user base and why they go out of their way to install Firefox on Windows, Android, iOS and other devices blog.mozilla.org/en/mozilla/l...

Ok, third try. Finally some 𝒻𝓁𝒶𝓋𝑜𝓇, although it took almost every plant-based umami enhancer I had. Kombu in the dashi def helped. But I'd call it a success as an actually tasty vegetarian ramen. Yay.
