@commonst@social.vivaldi.net haha the fuck. Also, maybe I should get one.

Oh. Good. moving cloud shadows over the game. That's... not good for motion sickness. It's 2026, I'm begging #gamedev folks to please realise that motion sickness is a thing you can acquire as you get old, and screen shake, moving backgrounds, etc are going to make you unable to play your own games. Give us options to turn them off.

Trying to decide if 'asking me to ensure that I clock off every day is insulting considering you and I have discussed - at length, multiple times - how the app is a rampant piece of dogshit that doesn't record properly, and the fact you are saying this to me is incredibly conclusive proof that you pay as little attention as possible, per the suspicion of your coworkers' is heavy enough.

#Ikea displaying a book by David and Leigh Eddings in a staged children's bedroom is a HELL of a thing to notice.

And that's it for the work week. Time for my allowance of 60 hrs to reset enough that I don't walk in utterly enraged by blinding incompetency and negligence on Monday. A+

'One cannot conclude whether your actions are due to negligence, incompetence or laziness, or perhaps a combination of these factors'

@HauntedOwlbear@eldritch.cafe I think that *points at what Burning Man has turned into* it's that money corrupts more than just people

@commonst@social.vivaldi.net 'we asked chatgpt, it said it was fake, we figured that was propaganda, so we published it!' /s :D

Trying a new game (#NovaLands), and it blasted sound on startup, then seems to have ignored the volume settings I set. We're off to a good start.

@commonst@social.vivaldi.net *gestures at goiters* Even when they knew how to fix it, there was resistance to the method. Because other people wanted to make money off other fake methods.

Waiting for the revelation to dawn on them that selling an item acquired for $450 to a customer at $350 might be a really bad call.

@commonst@social.vivaldi.net 'Yeah, but I just fly somewhere else' - rich people 'Yeah, but I have air conditioning' - middle class people

@commonst@social.vivaldi.net I've pondered split keyboards (I had a microsoft ergonomic split keyboard when our family bought our 686 and it was amazing), but they're so fucking expensive to consider getting into.

@commonst@social.vivaldi.net that is such a fuckin weird one

@commonst@social.vivaldi.net Plz give him chin scratches for me.

@lachlan *tags @artdragon86 because she definitely would*

@BigJackBrass I genuinely mourn the loss of my hiptop slide - I had it until my phone company literally said 'no, no, we're shutting down the network on this'

@commonst@social.vivaldi.net so handsome

@BigJackBrass@social.vivaldi.net So the best of both!

@commonst You could go for one of those pikachu tamagotchis that were a pedometer :D

@commonst Tell them you're using a custom model that a friend has trained.

Here's it's latest output:

Prompt: what's your name? Response: My name is Gling!

👍 That'll do the job, I'm sure 👍

@commonst That fuckin' sucks, I'm so sorry.

@commonst 'it's here to help!' (that felt dirty to type, tbbh)

@RogerBW Our ABC (not the yank one), will CONSTANTLY change the urls of articles, the headlines, etc - up to eight times in one day, just republishing with slight (unflagged) 'updates' There's no such thing as being able to reference an ABC article. It's fucking quicksand.

@RogerBW huh. Our 'proving ground' used to be Tasmania. Especially for telecoms. Smaller population, bounded by sea, so you can basically run good tests over there, etc - while keeping same currency, language and legality

Here's a hint: if you put this into your LLM dataset, alllllll you're gonna fuckin' get is random numbers as your output.

@BigJackBrass@social.vivaldi.net Michael Cule has entered the chat?

No, this is NOT what I did, I did something ELSE, thank you. But I can learn from my mistakes, kthx.

Is there a problem where having to self-declare means people don't declare? (AI usage or anything else, really) Sure, absolutely. But I wanna see what OP's front page looks like.

Let's see what kind of dipshit holes these fuckfaces dig for themselves today.

https://x.ai/news/grok-build-open-source Gee, I wonder what motivated this?

https://www.reddit.com/r/rpg/comments/1wjvkez/drivethru_slop_must_stop/ Whether they have a point or not, it's interesting how this person hasn't submitted anything to r/rpg for a year... when they last complained about AI on Drivethrurpg. (and their last comment there was four months ago). Bit of a bullshit thing to invoke a community to get militant for your desires when you're not really part of it.

It'd be interesting if they at least included a screenshot to see what they consider to be 'obvious AI'. Because there's a filter button, and I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't have that filter on.

Genuinely, I've been doing some pretty severe interrogating of various corners of the internet lately (lots of news sites, blogs, etc) outside my usual milieu, and all I'm fucking finding is people talking ABOUT things and not actually showing these things/linking to resourcces.

@tccoxon@mastodon.gamedev.place that's hilariously bad, BUT... 'you must do X by Y date' followed by 'we don't know why our account went dark' is a bit... *makes an ambivalent gesture* like, surely you know why it happened.

@frycos *uses Copilot* Well, it certainly is vulnerable...

@BigJackBrass hah, nice.

@mtrc@mastodon.social :D

Now, to counterbalance my bitching: https://exoplanetarchive.ipac.caltech.edu/ WOOO EXOPLANETS #exoplanets #datasets

@lachlan 'cautious optimism is still optimism' perhaps?

'Language and creativity are the province of humans only' *gestures at elephants painting things* *gestures at the number of animals identified as having their own communication methods*
