More like bots, really. Threads had a huge user influx but also a ton of inorganic activity.
Artist, theatrical performer, roller derby announcer, and former derby skater in the Midwest.
Single, childless, and married to my my freedom and sense of adventure.

Yeah, it is.
Could even get Trump reelected in a few months. Super bleak.
you gotta assume they’ll eventually hire and fire/lose all the usable talent
I’d like to think that, but Amazon has the benefit (at least in the US) of operating in a country where most people need 2-3 jobs in order to live, so it’s either churn-and-burn or starve.
Video games as a narrative vehicle have come a long way.
Go try ‘Detroit: Become Human’ or ‘Man of Medan’ or ‘Baldur’s Gate 3’. The stories in gaming are GD amazing.
I’m curious as to how the fundraising for Palestine actually benefits the situation. Is it even possible to get charitable donations in?
I wouldn’t hold your breath waiting on that, honestly.
Agreed. The headline made it sound like the deceased person was injected or something.
Compared to the US, very hefty.
Is it enough, though? I can’t say if it is or not, but my gut tells me it’s not enough.
Mostly Neverwinter Nights.
We’ve had more active players on the server I DM for, so I’ve been popping in more often to run quests and ambience for all the newbies.
To be clear: I 100% think people should be able to enjoy their things without being robbed, public or no.
I’m not amused, just glad I have different habits.
Fair point.
Let me be perfectly clear that I think you should be able to look at your phone 24/7 without getting robbed.
Still glad I don’t, though.
Not blaming the victim here, just glad I have different habits.
Stories like this make me glad I’m not one of those people glued to my phone 24/7.
It’s way harder to snatch it when it’s in your pocket.
But the fun of these stories is when someone writes an article about the thieves trying to scam the victim into giving up their codes. That’s always amusing.
Yeah, that’ll be misused. Without a doubt.
What an awful development.
Barf.
I love the idea of using AI as tool for studying the past, because conceivably, you can train it on every piece of art and writing a particular civilization ever produced and it can analyze that information in a more thorough and efficient way than a human. In my head I hope it’s possible to see ancient cities, or dinosaurs, or battles in historically accurate (and safe) VR experiences one day.
The problem is, as we’ve seen, AI tools are trained on garbage and stolen IP and none of the companies producing these tools care to differentiate between junk and good data, so the information these systems produce is always going to require human validation.
What then is the point? Yes, the image may be pretty and look suitably historic, but we can’t really trust a tool trained on shit not to spit out bad information.
Please read what I wrote again. The answer’s already there.
Yes, I am.
And I’d suggest that you use a defense other than: “Their guy is as bad as our guy.”
The original Resident Evil was pretty revolutionary and terrifying for me, but the 100% scariest I’ve played is the original Dead Space.
More recently, The Outlast Trials is really good, and I would HIGHLY recommend any of the Dark Pictures Anthology games, but my favorite is Man of Medan.
