www.theregister.com/ai-and-ml/20... thinking about last year when I was working at MSFT and our director told us "it's more important that you use AI than that you do a good job" when engineers raised concerns about copilot making frequent mistakes
Microsoft tells engineers to curb their token-burning enthusiasm
Redmond wants results from Copilot, not impressive-looking consumption figures

Just found out that, in addition to being a critically-acclaimed hit visual novel by Cross Couloir, "Ever Vert" is also a Singapore-flagged container ship, which is currently sailing from Busan, South Korea, to Kaohsiung, Taiwan. Very cool, but the game is cooler cross-couloir.itch.io/eververt

the weirdest thing about this is that for quite a while, LinkedIn's own UI was actively encouraging users to use AI to write their posts. I remember seeing the placeholder text in the post box saying "Try writing with AI"
Edd Coates | Game UI Database@eddcoates.bsky.social · 7d agoLinkedIn added an "AI slop" button. The U-Turn is happening, expect to see a lot more of this from other tech companies.
THE PLOT THICKENS

Like all Canadian government surveys on AI, this is hilariously pro-AI. But it only takes like 5 minutes to fill out, and at the end you can make it clear that the only focus of the government when it comes to AI and culture is that Canadian artists need copyright protections from AI scraping.
Sonja Boon@storiedselves.bsky.social · 2w agoCanadian arts and culture folks: the federal government has launched a (methodologically flawed) survey on "the Cultural Sector's readiness for Artificial Intelligence". If you're ready to resist or refuse genAI, here's your chance to let them know. pch.research-recherche.ca/f/s.aspx?lan...

New version of Chapter Select! This is a bugfix patch, but one that will definitely improve the UX, as it makes columns lay out more reliably without using `column_padding`. As always, it's free for Ko-Fi supporters. cross-couloir.itch.io/renpy-chapte... #indiedev #indiegames #visualnovel #vndev
