Google's Project Genie experiment allows creating interactive worlds with generative AI
At the end of January, Google revealed Project Genie - their new experiment to have generative AI create explorable interactive worlds.Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)
The deliberate conscious effort that we humans require to do anything, like make art or write an academic paper, has been belittled and glossed over.
Instead results are glamorously prized as the product of success, and the amount of effort that it took to get there is hidden away in shame.
AI is the obscene extreme to that mentality: not more thinking, effort, work, anything— get the result now. While it was that exact effort that made us human in the first place.

this reminds me situation with CCleaner where hackers replaced download installation file and for few days people were downloading fake malware version of application.

Such events show how important is security of servers where popular open source and free applications are stored.
Would be great if some anti hack/malware companies offered free options for FOSS developers. Or maybe they already provide and I'm not aware about it.

Adobe Is Ruthlessly Killing Off Software That Animators Around The World Are Using Every Day

Enterprise customers can access the application, download their content, and receive technical support until March 1, 2029.

I actually supported Adobe finally coming to their senses and removing Flash from the world. It was pure evil from day one.
That mess of software probably had one bug per line of code, including every new line they added to try to fix old bugs.

For seven years the ceramic bird glued to the top has held steady. Last year it came off. I asked people what to use in order to re-attach it. A particular glue was suggested as being extra tough. It was a two-step thingo. It lasted one day at the festival for which I needed it, but by late afternoon, someone pointed out that my bird was hanging by a gooey thread. So, I removed her before she could fall off and possibly break.
Does anyone here have any ideas how I can attach a ceramic bird to a rubber cap on a wooden staff?
