The fact that it's an obvious trick from a known snake oil salesman is a legit reason to think this is not "extremely cool shit". He's got an almost certainly hollowed out shell of a car and got it to fall slightly slower than gravity, but is selling it as a "flying car", and you're falling for it.

do think there's a danger of looking at extremely cool shit like a car driving upside down then doing a kickflip before landing, and convincing yourself it's actually lame because the guy funding it is a white supremacist

"The first release is light on features" do you think maybe that might have something to do with why it loads faster?

new Epic Games Launcher in preview - "Programming is hard. So, instead of doing that, we vibe coded a new Epic Games Launcher that’s way faster and more responsive than the current one, and has a new look." store.epicgames.com/news/epic-ga...

*lays off a thousand programmers* Wow, programming is hard!

No joke. I think this is the most important video I have ever seen about mobile games. This guy breaks down how this game psychologically profiles you, and makes the game harder or easier in order to show you ads

These two posts next to each other on the TL is very funny.

so does the white house just grow new press secretaries in a lab or what

There’s really only one way to mark the 99th anniversary of Roger Moore’s birth

I think this sounds like a movie I really won't enjoy, BUT I also hope they don't change it. Trying to claw it back this late will only lead to a worse mess. If it's going to be bad, at least let it be bad with a consistent vision and a soul.

Just finished watching Lanterns season 1. It's almost miraculous how well it works as a standalone story, while also sewing so many seeds for the future. I really hope we get a season 2, though it will almost certainly be very different from this one if we do!

At Causeway Studios, we stand with people and against generative AI. Always have, always will.

One of these is a popular meme. The other is a DM I actually received on LinkedIn. Can you tell which is which?

Noticed I've been using the words "fuck" and "fucking" (non-sexual) in my posts a lot more lately, if anyone was wondering how things are going

My Star Wars Galactic Racer character answering the phone: "You'll have to speak up, I'm wearing a towel"

Some good news for a change: Star Wars Zero Company has been profitable enough that BitReactor has been able to start bringing back their furloughed staff Obviously in an ideal world they wouldn't have been furloughed in the first place but this isn't an ideal world so take the wins where you can

Oh this is interesting - the box for Newage Drift says "comic line" and "the light path", suggesting this may just be the first in a line of MTMTE inspired toys. Exciting!

I firmly believe that phones should not be able to output sound louder than for a regular, phone-to-ear call. Want to watch videos or listen to music? Use headphones you fucking animal

Wrong answers only. My bet: thanks for all the fish.

This is exactly what I was talking about yesterday. A big problem with AI is that it gives people with no knowledge of an area the ability to do maybe 70% of what an expert could do, with 110% of the confidence, but none of the expertise to know their (or AI's) blind spots. It's so dangerous.

this is badass lol but like, if you aren't aware, this is how vibecoding works and why it's so dangerous. to code you need to plan ahead, AI is incapable of doing that- it just regurgitates random shit- so if you need to fix or change something, you're fucked. You just have to re-generate it all
