SoftBank’s investor presentation is one of the greatest things ever made. I’ve been thinking about it all day.

The year is 2035. There are three game studios left. Each one produces a game every 10 years, killing 250+ developers in the process. They all accidentally make the same game because they used genAI in preproduction. They sell 500 million units each, missing quarterly targets. Everyone is laid off.

A new paper suggests a photo can tell a recruiter much about an applicant’s personality

This morning my ChatGPT quota was inexplicably exhausted. It took a while but I pieced it together. Voice mode somehow got activated when I went to bed. The bot then engaged in a 10 hour conversation with my snoring dog, answering questions the pup wasn’t asking and praising him for his insight.

I wonder what happened to those totally not fake alien mummies from 2023

Sorry to interrupt your doom scrolling. Here are some mountains.

In January of 2021, photos started bouncing round the internet of this deeply weird thing happening in the sky above Glasgow, Scotland. Photoshop trickery? The bizarre truth: - yes, everyone really saw these - no, they're not faked or manmade - they absolutely don't exist. 1/

If you can only name a few "explainer graphic novels" as Zach calls them, you might be delighted at the incredible variety of the genre found in this thread! Related: I call 'em "explanatory comics", though just "explainer comics" might be snappier. Hm... 🤔 ("Non-fiction comics" is too broad IMO.)

Zach Weinersmith@zachweinersmith.bsky.social · 2y ago

What are your top ever explainer graphic novels? Meaning ones whose main purpose is to explain some concept about science, history, philosophy, etc. Not allowed: memoir/biography Not allowed: Logicomix, because you're all going to say it because it's great
