AI’s wide proliferation shares some striking similarities with the ways viruses spread, as an international team of researchers argue in a new paper that has yet to be peer reviewed. They set out to lay out a new theoretical framework about how we’re increasingly becoming hooked on tools like OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Anthropic’s Claude, and how it’s changing our collective ways of understanding the world around us.

Thought this was interesting. You either love it or hate it; either way it’s spreading like a virus.

Somewhere inside that success, theater workers and moviegoers started reporting kids as young as eight in the audience for a giant orange mascot’s murder spree. According to TheMirror, some parents blamed the cinema once they realized what they had walked into.

I remember watching Jack Frost when I was about that age. I’m still a little creeped out by snowmen.

Essentially, it seems to mostly be a 1:1 remake, but exceptionally modernised with revamped environments and additional quality-of-life improvements.

My favorite Zelda games are the old top down ones, like A Link to the Past, Link’s Awakening, the Oracle of Seasons/Ages, and Minish Cap. OoT still hits for me because it was the first one I ever played. Walking out of the Temple of Time as adult Link was the most epic thing I ever experienced in a game as a kid. Gonna be hard not to buy a Switch 2 right away.

In Ohio, the new analysis determined that 11.29% of state residents are LGBTQ+ adults, roughly 883,000 people…“We’re not a niche constituency, and no campaign, brand or employer can afford to treat us like one,” HRC President Kelley Robinson said in a statement.

We’re here and we’re queer ✊

If you can create something yourself, you should do it, but in my opinion, having a programme that can change levels of existing games without any knowledge is a no go. You wouldn’t change a book halfway through; you wouldn’t change the outcome of a film halfway through; and you shouldn’t be changing assets of a game on the fly either, because what is the point of the original developer putting all of that hard work into something?

“But drawing the S thing was addictive, and in the same way I found myself completely addicted to the history, mystery and magic of the symbol. I just wanted to invest and continue.”

Son of a bitch. Someone registered a trademark for that cool millennial “S”. And this article is six years old even

“A tool that looks like a harmless assistant may have permission to read email, summarize files, access customer records, connect to ticketing systems or interact with source-code repositories,”

Reminds me of how everyone had a dozen of those sketchy spyware browser toolbars like BonziBuddy in the 90s and early 2000s but worse.

But what if we didn’t have to build on top of RSS? What if… and hear me out, what if we used atproto for this!

I do like how standard.site is becoming its own RSS-adjacent thing. Standard Reader is really nice. A lot of stuff on ATProto is but I’m always afraid I’m putting all my eggs into one basket with something so new. I’m on Bluesky, and at one point I was using Leaflet for my blog, Standard Reader, and Skyfeed for RSS. The fact that RSS has been around nearly 30 years is a selling point for me even if it isn’t as feature-rich as what’s on ATProto.

The United States was the only country to vote against it.

Of course it was 😖

Back on micro.blog after a year or so. I tried a couple other blogging sites, most recently Leaflet, but I kept finding myself looking for ways to replicate everything micro.blog already does lol. My old username here was grubz, and after that it was gary.onl. It’s nice seeing some familiar faces!
