This indie team is making a puzzle platformer where you play as the severed hand of a victorian magician searching for his body
- Use speed, stealth & cunning to navigate
- Develop new abilities
- Bttle bosses
Would you play this? It's Called The Magician's Hand.
Let me trace the timeline here because nobody's connecting it.
Step 1: Scrape the entire internet. Every book, every article, every conversation, every piece of art, every forum post. Do it without asking. Do it without paying.
Step 2: Train a model on all of it. Call it "artificial intelligence."
Step 3: Go to BlackRock's Infrastructure Summit and announce: "We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter."
Step 3 is where you sell people's own knowledge back to them. On a meter.
They took the collective output of human thought, compressed it into a model, and now they want to charge you by the token to access a version of what you and everyone you know already created.
One Reddit user put it perfectly: "They stole all this data from us, the people, our life's work, creativity, art, by devouring the internet and blowing through all copyright laws. Now they want to sell it back to us in the form of a utility."
Imagine if someone photocopied every book in the public library, burned the library down, and then opened a subscription service for the copies.
That's the metered intelligence business model.
And they're pitching it to infrastructure investors as though they invented water.

It’s been a while since I wanted to try SD2 with an animation style.
So I wrote a little story and made it along the way.

Just one day after ending "The Late Show" on CBS, Stephen Colbert returned to TV — to host a public access show with rocker Jack White in Monroe, Michigan.

🚨 MAN BUYS 80 PIZZA HUTS TO BRING BACK THE ICONIC VERSION AMERICA MISSED — AND PEOPLE ARE LOSING THEIR MINDS
Tim Sparks, president of Daland Corporation, owns more than 80 Pizza Hut franchises across the country, and he’s now turning many of them back into the old-school Pizza Huts millions of Americans grew up with.
While most restaurant chains keep replacing everything with self-checkout screens, gray walls, and sterile modern redesigns… Sparks is bringing back the version people actually remember:
• red plastic cups
• Pac-Man machines
• packed salad bars
• giant family booths
• Tiffany-style lamps hanging over the tables
And people are getting unexpectedly emotional over it.
Some of these restored “classic” Pizza Huts are now becoming top-performing locations because customers say it doesn’t just feel like pizza anymore…
It feels like stepping back into a completely different era of life.
Sparks says the mission is bigger than nostalgia. He wants to rebuild places where families actually sit together again, put their phones down, and talk the way they used to.
Now the internet is flooding the comments:
• “This feels more human than modern restaurants”
• “We didn’t realize how good we had it”
• “This is what childhood felt like”
• “Why does this make me emotional?”
Some customers are reportedly driving HOURS just to eat inside one because they say modern restaurants lost the feeling that made people love them in the first place.
Now people are asking:
Did corporations deliberately turn restaurants into cold, forgettable spaces... because real human connection was never the priority anymore?

2000 artistes ont été mis au défi de créer une animation 3D de 5 secondes pour faire descendre une balle du haut vers le bas de l’écran.
Toutes les séquences ont ensuite été assemblées pour créer une gigantesque machine à billes collaborative.
