I don't know if I had the genAI Carl's Jr ad or the genAI Trivago one more, but they irritate me to my core. Will they ever stop using genAI to make stupid commercials? They're so bad
I’m trying to run again, and have been doing ok on the treadmill. I went to the apartment’s gym, and saw someone in there, so of course my social anxiety stopped me in my tracks. But I thought, the sun is out, let’s try to run around the park. Whew, I ran out of breath before the first song

Have you noticed, lately, or noticed people around you commenting, that there just seems to be no money anymore. There's no money for companies to make the tv shows you like, the video games you like, the local diner you like shut down, no one you know can find a job. Think about that in context of
Nicholas Grossman@nicholasgrossman.bsky.social · last wk.AI is now the biggest investment in all of US history as a percentage of GDP. Datacenter construction is up, all other construction is down. "AI Is Squeezing Out the Rest of the Stock Market," reported WSJ 2 days ago. We basically bet the whole economy on the most optimistic visions panning out.
The ultimate expression of software tech is not social network or AI, it's games.
Several weeks ago, Phil Tippett's legendary animation studio in Berkeley, CA closed. An anonymous hero noticed a folder of CDs. This turned out to be hundreds of unseen hi-res images and videos from Star Wars, Robocop, Jurassic Park, etc. ~90 isos for you to browse: archive.org/details/tipp...
Went to a state fair for the first time. What a testament to humanity's audacity, like Monaco but with delicious fried food.
Who is Martha and why are you all living in her vineyard?
That's cool. I'm sure all the BitReactor devs that were furloughed weeks before launch are gonna see some of that $50 million... right? Residuals are standard in other creative industries. If the people who actually made the game got their share of the profits, we wouldn't be in this mess.

I watched Ghost in the Cell this weekend, highly recommend it. It's a horror comedy film, almost felt like it was heavily influenced by Shaun of the Dead.

We went to a speed puzzling event yesterday in Poulsbo, it was very fun, buuuut the puzzle they gave out had genAI art on it. I wish they would care about craft and artistry, but maybe that's too much to expect nowadays.
If you see this and code, can you let me know if you use AI assistants? I feel like I’m the only one who doesn’t anymore.
I hope everyone who was planning on buying Wolverine and saw the reviews will instead buy Control 2
Just tried out Mapquest in the car, and seeing the unicorn, just perfect, never going back to google.
Side quests in games are like the muffin tops; they are better than the main part. However, without the main quest, side quests lose their glamor, just like the muffin top without the muffin body.
I tried to make a smoothie bowl, but I made the critical error of making the smoothie part a bit too thin. Now my spouse is roasting me. The best one so far is “this is what they would feed their children in a SciFi future. Eat your slurp, Minnie”
We'll know AGI has been reached when everything stops functioning and it takes over every website/app/system. Until then, just marketing teams being marketing teams...
Are there other big games coming out this fall that have used genai?
Just found out Blood of Dawnwalker used genai voices (and who knows what else). On one hand, disappointed because I love Witcher 3 and was looking forward to more of that. Buuuut on the other hand, I'm glad the games I want to play this fall is shrinking.
