In the deck-builder Voraxis you're a parasite that eats through a living planet

Voraxis is a really interesting take on deck-building that has you play cards to eat through a living planet, with gameplay that really captured me.

Amelia and I got to visit the Royal Museum of Fine Arts in Brussels--specifically the old masters collection--and it was fascinating. Didn't have nearly enough time to see everything, only a couple of rooms before closing time. They don't prepare you for how large these paintings are in real life.

I hate that I had to think about the modern equivalent of asbestos--the wonder material of AI--at the time, but it made me think of how a line its proponents often use is that the introduction of generative AI mirrors the advance from painting to photography--a line that's been said to me even on this platform. Of course, that's a lie. Photography never replaced *this*. It simply cannot.

I disagree with AI's parralel with painting - photography.
I'd say painting - collage.

With genAI You lack the harmony, thoughtfullness, creativity that goes in the painting, in favor of a crazy patchwork of random strips and bits that you smudge over to fit the frame.

Oh yup, i enjoyed visiting that one with my art studies too and drawing aside the paintings. That's impressive, and we do not grasp how much more colorful it was before centuries of light and restoration makes evrything darker.
Also about AI, at the times we visited it with our anatomy teacher, and he showed us how painters used to invent inexistent muscles very often for certain artists.

that argument indicates they don't understand either photography or painting or art in general.

It might screw over illustration and stock photography rather badly but I suspect the economics of that don't work well either.

I can see how AI might be compared to photography. A camera records exactly what it 'sees' but a photograph is equally subjective. It depends on the settings and the choices a photographer makes in framing the subject, while AI shows its bias in the algorithms and the type of data it uses.

RE: mastodon.social/@staff/1160152…

The live feed was pretty much useless since...forever. A live feed on this type of social media just doesn't really work.

Funny to think back, the Mastodon Social admins emailed me a complaint years ago that our news auto-posts were set to public and showed up in the live feed (so what??). They gave me a stern warning on setting them unlisted back then. Stupid.

As previously announced, live feeds are now disabled on our servers by default.

We don't think they provide a good experience on our server, but feel free to reach out to us if you'd like to still see them.

We plan to disable the "live feeds" of the local and federated timelines on mastodon.social within in the next couple of weeks. They are already disabled on mastodon.online.

I actually kinda like the live feeds feature, on big servers it must be horrible, but in small servers is a good way to see your "local community".

@antimundo yes, for small focused communities it makes sense but not for big stuff like this which is the point

with Windows 11 Linux has definitely seen a lot more up take. But there's also a lot of people that have been using Linux for years now migrating to FreeBSD. Although not a Linux Distro, FreeBSD seems to have full embraced this and is another FOSS OS that is looking at a lot of growth over the coming years.
