just learned about the guy that played Go so hard he died
![A highlight of Edo Go history was a match hosted by the Matsudaira family in 1840, where he counterattacked Inseki's prized disciple, Akaboshi Intetsu (sent as a challenger), with a series of brilliant tetsujis. The game took a week to play and was so intense that Akaboshi collapsed from exhaustion and vomited blood, dying shortly after.[6] This incident made this match famous in Go history, and it is now called the blood-vomiting game.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cyyd366g3hrxp5rynixm2mm3/bafkreibdfynsxorxt5limzu4y4nw3syaoy5e6ly2zbuaw3pl2juwrjfdbu)
In Tarot you sometimes will get the same reading over and over. When this happens, take heed. The universe is trying to tell you: you are not very good at shuffling.

EA literally makes less money than their annual debt payment under this new structure. It’s Toys R Us vulture capitalism with no chance of success but to be gutted of all value and eventually dissolved.
Jason Schreier@jasonschreier.bsky.social · 7d agoEA's annual Ebitda is around $1.5 billion, which should be enough to service the interest payments. But the publisher has told debt investors that it will cut $700 million in annual costs including $170 million in "organizational efficiencies," per Bloomberg. In other words: mass layoffs

I'm slow. My art is slow art. I wouldn't have it any other way. It gives me time to evolve my design for the better. Chipping away, stepping back and staring, thinking about where to go next helps thoughtfulness and improves the end result. #lonelyuniverse #slowart #stippling #scififantasy #darkart

Article is gifted. The Trump administration last year delayed a $10 million grant that was supposed to help Minnesota thin out about 4,000 acres of dense, dry forest at high risk of burning. That work never got started, officials say, and now those areas are on fire. wapo.st/4fpWETW

I dunno. I feel like we should wait for literally any evidence from anyone except stakeholders with a commercial stake in all of us thinking genAI is capable of doing this before we get too excited about genAI supposedly doing this.
CAMERON WILSON@cameronwilson.bsky.social · 2w agoAI has just had its Sarah Connor moment. Last week's rogue AI story has been dismissed by some as marketing. But even a cynical read of the news & other evidence suggests it should be a "warning shot" for the serious disruptive threat of AI that will soon be widely available www.abc.net.au/news/...
