In the 2010s, we were told new tech would revolutionize transportation. As BMW faces backlash for sticking a Spider-Man ad on its center console, we can see what it really amounted to: cars that collect vast quantities of data on us and which automakers are desperate to use to push ads on us too.
BMW’s in-car Spider-Man ad is a warning sign
We were promised a transport revolution. Instead we got cars tracking us and serving us ads.

In preparation for the js13k game jam I am making a small vector game library that I call BeepMicro. It mostly draws vector shapes from an array and takes care of timing and input. See some screenshots of test games I've made below. #gamedev #js13k #javascript

David Roberts@volts.wtf · 5d agoThis has long been one of my nightmare scenarios for EVs and *especially* for autonomous vehicles: mandatory advertising, delivered to your screens, with no way to opt out. Utterly dystopian.
🚨 NEW: A pilot has traced the shape of a bin over Clacton days before the by-election
Look, Death Stars exist now, a Death Star is just a tool that people use. If we don't use it to blow up a planet then someone else will. It doesn't matter if you have ethical concerns about Death Stars, it's too late, they exist, you just have to use them now.
Ever since my 10 year old got to the same height as my wife everyone thinks she's my daughter. Just been charged for 1 adult and 2 children on the bus. She's in her 40s 😬 she's flattered but I don't feel great. My son has started calling me grandad.
Just gonna go ahead and share this again, 'cause it keeps being annoying relevant.
This utter muppet of a conservative Canadian politician in New Brunswick forgot to remove the LLM text from his floor speech and read it out loud.
@leafo.itch.io hi - the update emails are missing images for the top section. Used to work but has been like this for a few weeks now. Checked the html and the image is still there, removing max-width: 100% fixes it. Wonder if it's a gmail rendering issue.
"I'll tell you the problem with the scientific power that you're using here, it didn't require any discipline to attain it. You read what others had done and you took the next step. You didn't earn the knowledge for yourselves, so you don't take any responsibility for it."
“.. I asked a few AI researchers whether they could name any other real-world software that scales so poorly. None of them could think of any. “.. By economic and engineering measures, generative AI might be the worst technology ever deployed.” @theatlantic.com www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...
My sky generator is coming along. I really want to simplify it now. Over 4000 lines of code (although I do comment a lot so about half is comments). A lot for a weekend project (2 weeks later). Looks nice though 😊 #indiedev #javascript #gamedev
Meta now lets anyone use your Instagram photos in AI images without your consent. SAG-AFTRA recommends that #SagAftraMembers (and all Instagram users) opt-OUT of Meta’s new AI image generation tool, Muse Image. Take action to protect your likeness.
From ‘Outstanding’ and a good reminder that investing in the arts is a win-win, not a lose-lose, proposition.

I've been working on a random landscape generator for my retro 3d engine. This is far more complex than I had imagined it would be when I started. Means I can make skies easily for games. #javascript #indiedev #indiegames #gamedev

This is important: if you’re in the UK and you care about creatives, I encourage you to sign this letter. openletter.earth/open-letter-...
incredible of playstation to announce the end of physical disc production the week after they deleted all the movies you bought digitally from your account
Can we start a whole world class action law suit against the worst offenders. I honestly don’t know what will stop climate change except threatening shareholder profits
