So uh, Intel doesn’t get anything, and gives up 10% of their stock because they’ve just decided to retroactively alter the CHIPs act?

Sadly yes

The Last of Us Part II was the subject of review bombing on Metacritic, resulting in a user review score of 3.4/10 at its nadir.[129][130] Reporters noticed the review bombing occurred shortly after the game launched—too early for users to feasibly have finished it;[131] some suggested that the reviews were based on the incomplete plot leaks.[102][130] Many negative reviews criticized the characterization and plot;[129][131] some complained of “social justice warrior” politics, with vitriolic responses to LGBT characters

They also thought that because Abby had muscles she was trans.

Careful, it’ll digest you for 1000 years

Last of us part 2?

Unique links are created when Grok users press a button to share a transcript of their conversation - but as well as sharing the chat with the intended recipient, the button also appears to have made the chats searchable online.

This is t he r second article about chatbots “leaking” ended users share their chats with search indexing enabled.

That isn’t leaking. That’s just shitty journalism.

I hate grok.

Every time I’ve checked my bags I’ve been called a moron because my bags are going to get lost.

And sadly those people are not wrong, I’ve had my luggage lost twice, and they don’t pay you back for that.

I moved in to a house with a garage and my in laws are constantly trying to give us crap to fill it up.

I don’t even know where they’re getting this stuff, they just show up and are like “oh, we’re getting rid of this dresser, we thought you’d like it” or “or, I bought this antique trunk at a yard sale, can you hold on to it”.

I think they got in trouble for killing too many test animals but got approved for human trials.

That’s good to hear

Amen.

If we try and leave the world better than we found it then we can make space for kids to flourish. Thats our obligation to them.

But we have to actually try, even when it’s hard or inconvenient or unfair.

I used to.

Kids have never been something I never saw myself having. I have nephews and nieces and I used to worry about them.

They’ve grown up a bit and the kids are actually doing alright. In my family they are all loved and they’re well behaved kids.

They’re getting proper diagnoses and treatment for their adhd that my brothers and I probably should have gotten as kids. Instead we all got countless detentions and suspensions in school.

School these days is kind of a mess, but my nieces and nephews all have parents who step in and help. The biggest thing for one who was getting bullied was switching schools, it was a total 180 in his life after leaving that environment.

The omnipresent tech and AI stuff is a mess too. I think having involved and caring parents helps a lot with that. It’s harder to fall into the traps when you have good examples in life. Hopefully that keeps up.

As for money/job prospects that was a huge concern when I was coming of age too. 2008 fucked everything up. This too shall pass the youth job market has always been tough for the last 25 years. They’ll figure it out with a bit of help. They’re not doomed here. As long as there are people there will be needs to fill.

I do worry about the climate. I don’t know how to help with that. I try to do good but it’s beyond my control to stop. All we can do is try to mitigate and adapt.

This tech could be life changing for blind or deaf people

Too bad it’s not being designed for them.

Nope, but at least I’m not supporting a company that actively does this.

I like that Valve on its own is tipping the scale on Linux adoption.

It’s fantastic, and I love that Steam Deck has enough use that Windows “anti cheat” malware is becoming less of a requirement.

Installing rooted software from sketchy 3rd party vendors being a prerequisite to run games is beyond stupid.

Yep.

And if anyone doubts this, 15 years ago I had made a tool that created these types of profiles as a proof of concept.

I had scraped tons of subreddits, then you could pass in a user and based on both their subreddits and key words would categorize users across a few axes. That was just using naïve bayes, but worked pretty well.

The AI is just much much better at natural language processing to pull out more detailed info about patterns.

This is a great example of how profiles on all of us are going to be made by governments and corporations unless we take privacy seriously.

Those offers for new grads were always insane and never going to last. That was entirely a sign of the zero interest rate bubble during covid.

The GPT5 launch would give me pause if I were a prospective investor

They’re still losing money, performance is only increasing marginally, and that launch looked like it had no validation or due diligence. Plus Meta is trying to siphon off their employees with offers of 10s of millions of dollars.

Anthropic has mostly taken over the dev space, GPT is lagging on MCP and tool ineroperabilitiy locking them behind a paywall with limited use…

Then the CEO comes out and days they’re in a bit of a bubble, but want half a trillion dollars to make more capital expenditures.

Unless the design of chips dramatically changes the economics are borderline, and OpenAI is fumbling on the PR/mindshare front.

Did I lock the door ?

I must have, I’m pretty sure I remember, but I’m not totally sure…
