I'm excited to announce that in three weeks I'll be joining @SonySantaMonica as a Principal Gameplay Programmer. I'm extremely grateful for the opportunity to work for this world class studio from the comfort of my own home in North Vancouver and can't wait to get started.
We expected to have to dedicate considerable resources to identify the soldiers featured in the photos and videos.
What we found was that, for the most part, soldiers posted material in their own names on publicly accessible platforms.
@danlowlows Absolutely. People give them grief for just updating rosters every year, but this video is the result of 15+ years of steady progress and innovation on their animation and gameplay systems.
It takes incredible bravery to do this in a room of people who see her as subhuman, she could have skipped, but Tlaib chose to make sure that the voices of Palestinians being slaughtered by the man receiving standing ovations are present in the chamber.

“You have to much china stuff at your kitchen. I was happy to help you residents of Khan Younes (as much as I had time to). GO SUE ME AT THE HAGUE BASTARDS” ->
I live by Columbia. Tonight I went for a walk & saw 10+ blocks rapidly barricaded, dozens of police vehicles flying by, large groups of NYPD in riot gear gathering.
I study protest in E Europe. What I saw tonight was some of the most wildly disproportionate policing I've seen

Cannot overstate how profoundly ignorant & dangerous this is. Intifada is the Arabic word for uprising. When Egyptians & Tunisians launched intifadas against their dictators the world celebrated. That folks are offended by Palestinian calls for liberation is telling & disturbing.
Antisemitism is a disgusting ideology that has resulted in the deaths of many millions.
That does not negate the unprecedented actions of Netanyahu's right-wing & racist government.
It is not antisemitic to demand an end to the humanitarian disaster in Gaza.
Isn't this just #EthicsWashing for the AI companies?
They could eliminate their child abuses by just... not downloading it to train their models. That's safety by design. 😒
So why don't they‽ 🧶
Reporter: Evidence at Gaza mass graves show torture and signs of being buried alive, Palestinians called for an independent investigation, what’s wrong with that?
Patel: We’re asking Israel
Reporter: You’re asking the accused to investigate itself?

i’ve been thinking about Meta’s support for open-source AI all day, wondering what zuck’s business justification must be. you can’t run a $1T co on ideology alone.
but when you google the financials of Meta ($134B/yr) compared to a co like OAI, ($1.6B) it starts to make sense:
The horrifying details emerging about the World Central Kitchen massacre: The convoy was struck 3 times in succession, with the drone chasing the wounded aid workers from vehicle to vehicle to make sure they were all killed. No legit pretext and precise coordination with the IDF.
