Strong GOTY contender right there. Loved the first ROM game. Wonder if this game could possibly be even queerer than ROM 1? 🤔

Nice, but Koei Tecmo asking for 50€ for a 10 year old game is...

Typical of them.

Will wait for a sale.

2020: Microsoft sets goal to be carbon negative by end of the decade.

2023: Microsoft's emissions are 30% higher than in 2020.

Main cause? The relentless push to meet AI demand, which requires new data centers built out of carbon-intensive steel, cement, chips.

Has anyone else seen Have Gun - Will Travel?
Many of the episodes were written by Gene Roddenberry before Star Trek.
I just stumbled across this book.

The Original Frontier: Gene Roddenberry's Apprenticeship for Star Trek in Have Gun–Will Travel

in reply to Muse

Gene Roddenberry described Star Trek: The Original Series as a space Western (or, more poetically, as "Wagon Train to the stars").

Oh! Finally! Is there anything about static on external monitors? I usually have to wake my deck twice (at least) for both the double-input and the static.

Estupendo. Son empresas que me caen fatal por diferentes cosas y a las que llevo boicoteando desde siempre. 😌


As much as I'm generally in favor of blaming AI for things, the explosion of fake studies is not, at its root, an AI problem. It's the very natural result of the ridiculously profitable and predatory scientific publishing industry (more profitable, according to one study, than drug dealing) doing exactly zero work in exchange for the money it charges on both ends of the process.

The party most responsible for Wiley publishing fake papers is Wiley. Let them burn.

This incredible lecture by @Wolven covers so much: ableism, cybertechnics, myth, mystery, erasure, all via a deep dive into what might be 'AI'

youtube/google original: youtube.com/watch?v=l8JH0jAITn…

invidious alternative: yewtu.be/watch?v=l8JH0jAITng



If you wanted to check out my talk "Religious Belief and Practice in the Age of 'AI'" at the Pitts Theology Library at Emory University's Candler School of Theology but were unable to attend at the time of, it's now been published online.

This was such an amazing conversation, and the audience provided some really wonderful questions to think through and with. I'm so thankful to have gotten this opportunity and such a receptive and engaged audience for a topic I've always thought was crucial, and which I think will only be more important in the coming years:

Seriously engaging with tools and concepts from comparative religious studies, mythology, ritual studies, and the occult to help elucidate both major contextual cues about a LARGE swathe of past and present-day "AI" and tech culture, and also potential insights for how to both react to and shape those contexts.

I hope you enjoy it:

Grandson says Carter is ‘coming to the end’ in brief update about former president’s health.

The world will lose an incredible human-being and a President, who was far ahead of his times.

June 20, 1979 - President Carter dedicated the solar-thermal panels on the roof of the White House.

“A generation from now, this solar heater can either be a curiosity, a museum piece, an example of a road not taken, or it can be a small part of one of the greatest and most exciting adventures ever undertaken by the American people.”

Carter presented an ambitious plan to put America on a path to 20% of energy from renewable sources by 2000.

Then came Reagan 🙁
