Starting to engage with game dev social media a bit more...and that means moving from Xwitter to BlueSky.

Dumb random thought: start a TikTok rival called FlickFlock.

Prosaically playing afterthought:
You make a Flick.
You send it to your Flock.

I should sleep.

Was Twitter's prompt text always this alarmed?

@Peter5tewart Did his role in The Big Short count as comedy? In any case I thought he was excellent in that.

@Vialixia Quick video for some context, but hopefully all this stuff becomes normal.

And I say this as a Producer who's job almost gets eliminated by this software.

@LadieAuPair I really don't know how long I can bear to keep an account running in this lunatic's yard. Really want a better alternative (and Mastodon is cool but it's just too complicated for mass adoption).

@Vialixia It is being used for the boring stuff more and more. Microsoft office copilot is basically an AI demon that takes meeting notes, assesses spreadsheets and makes sense of them.

Margot Robbie goes viral for a 2022 red carpet appearance where she was spotted communicating with a fan in sign language.

@HereLiesStacey I recognise this feeling. No matter how confident I am in my subject matter, I always feel like an amateur that's getting above themselves, in a room meant for experts.

[Doug Pennant (checks BlueSky SLIGHTLY more often) @Ludiotic]

TIL that "media" is the plural of "medium". 😐

@HereLiesStacey Not on tiktok. What's happening now?

[Doug Pennant (checks BlueSky SLIGHTLY more often) @Ludiotic]

When did our lives become so complex that we needed to outsource some of the living?

[Joshua Browder @Joshuabrowder]

I decided to outsource my entire personal financial life to GPT-4 (via the @donotpay chat we are building).

I gave AutoGPT access to my bank, financial statements, credit report, and email.

Here’s how it’s going so far (+$217.85) and the strange ways it’s saving money. (1/n):
