In July 2024, five months before he allegedly set the fire, Mr Rinderknecht asked ChatGPT to create an image of a "dystopian painting" that included a burning forest and a crowd of people running away from a fire. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Pacific Palisades fire suspect snared by ChatGPT image, say investigators

Investigators say evidence collected from the 29-year-old's devices showed an AI image of a burning city.

Learned that I am being laid off from Heart Machine, and will be leaving the studio later this month.

Do you need a contractor? I've got a track record of leading scope-friendly script revisions late in dev. I have also done a lot of consulting on new IPs and pitches/demos. Feel free to DM me!

Let's do a web search exercise. Think of your favorite artists and creators and find their NON SOCIAL MEDIA links--websites, stores, blogs--then share them in the replies. Also your own if applicable. Then bookmark their website/subscribe to them directly if you haven't. Let's get really connected.

how everyone on this site announces they're looking for a gig

friends, acquaintances, strangers, it carves a pit of agony in my soul to have to announce that, because I am a living meat person who must gather and then exchange currency for the food products that nourish my shambling physical form, I am now digging in the dirt and filth of the internet for new work opportunities. if any of you could take pity on a wretch with only 37 years experience as a quantum physicist, please DM me

I wrote a long article about Rieko Kodama, her career at Sega, the evolution of her company, the games she worked on (including some canceled games and/or games for which she is not credited), the status of women and working conditions in the video game industry, etc.
vgdensetsu.net/riekokodama/

Illustration: a portrait of Rieko Kodama with some of the games she has worked on. The dominant colors are yellow, purple and red. Counterclockwise from top left: Rieko Kodama, Alis and Lutz from Phantasy Star, Sonic in a maze, Alex Kidd and his motorbike next to Flicky on a waterfront pier, Joe Musashi and his dog near the Statue of Liberty facing a skyline, the three playable characters from Golden Axe seen from behind on the edge of a cliff, and one of the flying ships from Skies of Arcadia.

last time a laptop did something similar on me, i had to switch to linux just so i could patch the kernel to not use memory regions deduced to be bad by memcheck. i was gonna make the switch eventually for different reasons but my hand my have been forced...

keyboard's doing this thing where enter is spontaneously being pressed. gonna open the laptop up and hope it's just a matter of cleaning and not bad memory!

Basic road clipping and collision is on, the ship is just two triangles but with dynamic(ish) shadow! It runs pretty well, I'm quite happy with my rasterizer so I will try to add more polygons and scenery #SegaMegadrive #SGDK

There will be nothing wrong with it.
