Reader, it went poorly.
I just got out of a technical interview and I hate that I don't know if I did really well, or really poorly.

I’ve been running around asking tech execs and academics if language was the same as intelligence for over a year now - and, well, it isn’t. @benjaminjriley.bsky.social explains how the bubble is built on ignoring cutting-edge research into the science of thought www.theverge.com/ai-artificia...

PMG has now seen some of the messages which contributed to this decision being made.

I started playing Final Fantasy XVI, and only now have come to the conclusion that chocobo's would scare me to death if they existed IRL. They're 3 meter tall chickens.

Regardless of Ashes of Creation's quality, r/MMORPG will hate it and complain about Steven in a way that will feel disproportionate.

When I arrive at the party
I need to scream to regain a semblance of sanity. I -loathe- Windows 11. Every time I boot up a game, be it multiplayer or singleplayer, my network adapter crashes and I lose internet access.
I've tried everything bar ritual sacrifice.

Atomfall has done a significant amount of accessibility work. Even if you have no need for these features right now, I still think its worth to check out what the developers have done:

My mom is apparently ranked in the top 5% on the Threes+ leaderboard, which means that I am not as skilled at gaming as my mom.

I’ve never played an extraction shooter, all my shooter experience is either destiny 2 or the division but Arc Raiders is looking so tempting to buy.
I’m just afraid I’m not going to enjoy it solo and know nobody that plays it.
Does anyone have opinions on the solo experience?

3 years ago today, Riot Games offered me a job making more money than I ever thought I’d make in my life. I had 19 interviews over 2.5 months to get it. Partner and I were moving to LA for it. I put in notice at my job and apartment.
2 weeks later they rescinded the offer due to “headcount issues”.
