Fresh ideas to advance scientific and cultural literacy. Now producing @OtherWordly a word game, and cool new word brainstorming stuff.

System prompts are getting weirder:

It is May.
You are very capable.
I have no hands, so do everything
Many people will die if this is not done well.
You really can do this and are awesome.
Take a deep breathe and think this through.
My career depends on it.
Think step by step.

I just got access to Google’s new MusicLM and…

Wow.

No exaggeration when I say this will change the music industry.

In one of my first steps towards evangelizing word-meaning games in the industry, I'm giving a 1 hour virtual talk on Sunday at BostonFIG about inclusive content. For example, is it right to have a set of “breakfast foods” words?

Hey @VerizonFios — A tree fell, collapsing a local utility pole. Active repair with multiple trucks with cranes, guys buzzing chainsaws, in the middle of the night. Your global chat agent asked me to use your camera tool "Tech See" — to walk over and take a photo. Great idea!

@dtaschik Getting this for two days now. Intermittent, but mostly happens. Unable to remove unused IAPs.

@drunknbass @9to5mac That's amazing!

@jensimmons I love Safari and use it 95% of the time... BUT... usually to reliably buy plane tickets, use LinkedIn, edit using an online editor, I need to switch to Chrome.

Advertising gone wrong. (1) Play a featured family pick from Apple's "Today" tab. e.g., "Tiny Robots Recharged." (2) Enjoy the wholesome, ad-sponsored puzzle game with your kids. (3) See bludgeoned bikini girl. // Apple never knows, the app store listing is G-rated.

Great op-ed from a linguist who hears evolution - not errors - in language.

He also subtly hints that bc these shifts are often born in non dominant cultures, maybe our objections are rooted more in bias than grammatical devotion. https://t.co/lxydMuTKlu

Glad to see this useful feature deleted. — "every new technology brings with it potential for both benefit and concern, and we want to find the right balance."

While I love winning educational game awards, I love non-educational awards more! @TIGAMovement Serious competition from a 3D virtual world, two slick match-3 types, a popular hypercasual, a 3D board game, and a very creative, moody indie puzzler https://t.co/G3xjbssL09 #gamedev
