Don't threaten me with a good time. This is like asking me how I'd get through a day if you removed all the clutter and noise from my life which slows me down from doing what I actually want to be doing.

My answer is LOL ROFL (dickbrain) The terminally AI-pilled can't even *imagine* some people have *never* asked stochastic parrots to cheat at their job for them.

Daaaamn. “AI is the asbestos we're shovelling into the walls of our technological society. Our descendants will spend generations digging it out again, and the longer the bubble goes on without popping, the longer it will take to repair the damage." www.thenerve.news/p/cory-docto...

69 BILLION TOKENS LOL

Dan Johnson will design games for food@coil.bsky.social · 2d ago

"But my Wyvern development has been burning the equivalent of $87k/month of API token burn, or about 69 billion tokens in July... in reality I'm only spending about $2800/month out of pocket." What's Wyvern, you ask? See image #2. $87k/month.

The amount of C-Suite or just people making important leadership decisions who have trouble with object permanence and simple cause/effect is very upsetting.

no one wants to take the risk to fund the next balatro until balatro happens, then they FOMO and want clones "just do what they did" Doesn't work like that man.

Rami Ismail (رامي)@ramiismail.com · 3d ago

Just to be clear on this article, the position I took isn't "developers need to be more brave" but "funding needs to be more brave". Developers make all the cool stuff, just because they want to - the funding side hits it with market research and fear and growth targets and shareholders.

The darker side of the UK microcomputer game boom of the mid-late 80s. The Games Machine magazine ran an exposé in March 1988 on the mass, systemic abuse of teenage programmers by developers and publishers, some as young as 14, with interviews from those involved.

today's fun horse fact for y'all is that if you're not sure if a baby horse is gonna stay the color it is at birth or eventually turn "white", you have to look at the color of its legs: if the legs are very dark the adult horse will be white and if they're very light, the adult horse will stay dark

The State Department said ​it takes "full responsibility" for "hastily" altering and then presenting a map of Africa at a global AIDS conference that mislabeled every single country it highlighted. An analysis by Reuters found a watermark in the map image that suggests it was made with OpenAI.
