@mypalal I just saw resident evil in Tokyo, in English with Japanese subtitles. It was. 9 AM showing, it was packed and I was the only foreigner there.

There is a market for good movies, not so much for preachy c**p

@AI_EmeraldApple It does look terrible, a sad parody of the original. Even when the Aussies and Kiwis were making cheap copies of Mad Max, they were at least watchable.

Every IP left is being flayed and drunk clowns are donning the skin suit of what was once original. It’s worse than parody

Furries in Japan!? It’s the annual cat parade in Kagurazaka, central Tokyo!

@WilliamShatner Mr Shatner is probably the hardest working man in his 90s. Remarkable how much energy you have to keep on hustling.

@SoveyX Damn genius! Great Russian roulette analogy.

We need our children to flee. The 80% scenario is the scarier part

@EHuanglu Brilliant! Triffids meet’s zombies

@AutismCapital This story looks like AI slop. Either that or Captain Obvious is having a field day because this is something my 9 year old would say.

@bunburyoudoujp Indeed! Split one with the wife this morning. They are a good break from the usual sandwiches, but the spice (loads of cumin) might not be for everybody.

@bunburyoudoujp Thrown out of the house?

Actually it looks like a nice step up from an all night manga/Internet cafe. Does it at least have a decent shower or ofuro?

Nice little earthquake right after midnight. Felt like a Mag 2 in Tokyo, a 3 at the center near Tsukuba, just north of Tokyo

Fortunately I was still up coding!

This is quite sad since soon our London office will start parroting this line. Trump, love him or hate him, made it quite clear to Jensen Huang that it is full steam ahead.

Somehow, the current UK government will join forces across the channel and try to use this opportunity to tax American (and Chinese) innovation. These guys are the modern Barbary pirates, trying to find new ways to plunder what is gained by another’s hands.

@AI_EmeraldApple @Tectone She needs to be doing this in a Tesla with FSD. Tesla is the safe option for people who shouldn’t be on the road, even when sober

@PsyopAnime Never forget

While finishing work, I was watching the late King of Norway’s funeral here on X. Very dignified and solemn, with soldiers and sailors lining the roads for the procession.

No glamour, very serious and a proper send off. God bless Norway and Long live the King!

[Ken Hannig @FlushingKenny]

@Nerdrotics I will definitely watch that in the theater! Probably at Tokyo Midtown with the really big screen in the basement. That theater will be packed!

By counting story points! Lead of acquired company in NY claimed 50% increase in story point delivery due to AI use so that became the new tracker for a few months. How many points did AI miraculously create?

Took a few months for management to realize that it was all estimation anyways, so that got dropped.

Then last week a table was dropped showing ranking of AI usage, conveniently after the token maxing craze had peaked. So guess what we need to do need to do now? Forget about clean prompting and get this rookie numbers up!

@AI_EmeraldApple The hair was perfect! You really did a good job with this model.

And ignore the haters! AI is a great tool for people with talent, and only a threat to the talentless
