I can't help you there, the 15kg bag of rice in our pantry was a high quality adult purchasing decision
damn, I didn't know :( ... time to microwave some raw eggs
I don't know who needs to hear this but go clean your microwave, it's disgusting in there!
Happy international coming out day!! I'm proud of you! And know that there's many of us just like you!! you got this!! π₯π₯ππ©·π©΅π€π³οΈβππ³οΈββ§οΈβ¨
'big budget' in tokens spent π₯²
I forgot how tedious grouting tiles is.. But, it is very satisfying when it's done! π
I know this isn't your point but even taking the concept at face value, it's such nonsense. It's literally a huge matrix multiplication on steroids. Of course it's not conscious. Sitting idle waiting for input there isn't a single bit that flips on its own. It's a bunch of data sitting in memory. π€·
We've been selected by Launch Good to participate in their one-week fundraising campaign for Palestine.
Launch Good will match every $ we raise for Dreams on a Pillow.
This will take Khadra one stop closer to her next destination Atilit!

I was moderately hoping he was doing the right thing, but a week after this video went live he laid off about a hundred of his employees, citing AI and profit incentives as the primary drivers. He may be one of the less bad ones but he's still a San Francisco based tech CEO submerged in AI culture.
Genuinely concerned about the engineers at YouTube who work on the "Show me fewer shorts" button feature. Are they OK? Has anyone fed or watered them in a while? Did they get enough sleep? I'm really rooting for them but I'm losing hope. π
Some research today into how to illustrate the books for Marsozoic. Trying my hand at sketching + watercolor. I'm absolutely over the moon with the in-game result!!
Damn, that hurts to read :( Wishing the best to everyone affected β€οΈ
The [s]factory[/s] cluster must grow!
New Marsozoic devlog!! In which we lock in to deliver the first early playable build of the game. Fossils examination, X-ray scanner, map system and more! ENG/FR subtitles available :) www.youtube.com/watch?v=dgs4...
one thing you learn from making a lot of things is that the nitty gritty details, the millions of tiny invisible decisions, ARE the art. The "higher level ideas" are not nearly as important or interesting
Last time I couldn't figure out how to properly visualize something using tools, I ended up doing all the (log) positioning calculations in a spreadsheet and drew them in Inkscape with 4 decimal exact positioning π Sometimes doing it by hand is the least overwhelming option π€·
I love finding new artists through artist collaborations. It's like finding out your friends are friends with pretty cool people at a mutual hangout and you become friends as well
(legitimate use-case is anytime you want to assert anything to be true, and crash in dev builds if it's not)
Defining a macro that does (*int)0 = 0; for when you want a game to crash and burn
I woke up, and want to clarify: Note that none of my arguments were - AI output is ugly/I can always tell - AI can't do my job well - AI looks different from human output These are not sustainable arguments. As AI evolves they will likely erode. That's why I wrote a huge list of DURABLE arguments:
