that time I got my photo taken at WWU Queer Con !! I am really bad at forgetting to take photos while I work, so I'm grateful to have a lil memento. This was a SUPER FUN SHOW and I highly recommend it for those within driving distance of the university !!!
Spooky season has begun... so here are FIVE MORE REASONS why your Halloween game night #TTRPG should be FiveEvil: Fiendish 5E Horror from @handiworkgames.bsky.social with INCREDIBLE art by Jon and @purdyart.bsky.social
Dear @erc.europa.eu , we DO already have common standards & frameworks. 'AI' likes to pose itself as 'special' but we do not need to reinvent the wheel. We already have established codes of conduct for research integrity. We just need to apply them. See below + more resources in thread🧵
European Research Council (ERC)@erc.europa.eu · 3d agoThere is a need to agree on common standards & frameworks for AI models used across all aspects of research evaluation. These should ensure & encourage trust, confidentiality, & transparency, & should be defined through collaborative discussions between research funding and performing organisations.
Mamdani is 100% right here, despite some people reading into this things that are not said here. Antisemitism is a scourge upon the world. Doesn't need any qualification or quantification or caveats or what-abouts. Any antisemitism is too much antisemitism.
Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani@mayor.nyc.gov · 3d agoThe Talmud teaches that anyone who sustains one soul, has sustained an entire world. For generations, Jewish New Yorkers have sustained our city. Today, we are launching the first-ever municipal Strategy to Combat Antisemitism.
AAA game dev is *over*! It's time to embrace AAAA, AAAAA, no AAAAAA game dev! Designed and coded by "AI" with ultra-high resolution "AI" art at literally impossible frame rates and 7-dimensional controls! Revolutionary games exclusively by and for "AI"! It will hack your computer and call you names!
Rami Ismail (رامي)@ramiismail.com · 3d agoFolks, I'm happy to announce my next game will use up all water, destroy humanity in a global blaze, & lose $8 billion weekly. IPO starts at a 20 gazillion euros valuation based on me counting the amount of zeroes wrong. Upon checking the prototype I realized bigger number is better. Supersentience.
I saw Radical play an early slot on the Big Day Out main stage in 2012, good to see they are still touring

Reading Sarah Wynn-Williams FB tell-all "Careless People." Even taking it with a grain of salt, it is painfully clear that the people at the top of FB were and are brats, immature and unserious. Workaholic, greedy, hypocritical, ignorant, self-important brats. www.paperplus.co.nz/shop/books/c...
Careless People
Shocking and darkly funny, Careless People gives you a front-row seat to the decisions that are shaping our world and the people who make them. Welcome to Facebook. Sarah Wynn-Williams, a young diplo...

> In fact, the polling on this is so strong[:] a lot of people hate AI, and that Gen Z in particular seems to hate AI more and more as they encounter it. [O]ver half of Americans think AI will do more harm than good, while more than 80 percent of people [are] concerned about the technology.
Helen Rosner@hels.bsky.social · 5mo agoThis is so smart. The people do not yearn for automation! “It is a failure when you ask people to adapt to computers. Computers should adapt to people. Asking people to make themselves more legible to software—to turn themselves into a database—is a doomed idea.” www.theverge.com/podcast/9170...

Tze Ming Mok 莫志明@tzemingdynasty.bsky.social · 7d agoWho is this book for? Journalists? It is for the public, to have summarised in one place, the story of an influential lobby group with the context, analysis and moral judgment that our gallery reporters have no incentive to provide.

YouTube, TikTok and Meta have all turned down the trailer for the Oct. 9 doc, citing “political” content. X won't even take Bleecker Street's calls. The distributor is appealing.

Sometimes I say stuff so you don’t have to. Because I have little to lose but you might do. It’s okay just join the queue to buy me a pint at the next comics event.

DoorDash has ripped off more than 260,000 NYC delivery workers. We’re making them pay $131.5 million — the largest worker settlement in City history. This is New York, where hard work pays and greed will cost you.
Hey, this is big and really important if you like comics even a little bit. Comixology was bought, enshittified, and killed by Amazon. But Sweetshop is open now. It's rad, and they're not assholes.
