SOMEONE BUILT WORDLE BUT FOR MINI GOLF AND IT IS QUIETLY BECOMING MY FAVORITE MORNING RITUAL

it's called https://t.co/uNM5Of4MOd.

you open the tab and there is one mini golf hole. that's the whole game. one new hole every midnight pacific. same hole for everyone in the world. your first finish counts.

you click the ball, drag back like a slingshot, let go. the further you pull, the harder you hit.

today's hole is called "Up and around." it's an S-shaped tropical island floating in dark teal water, with cross-barriers and one little wooden ramp that i ricocheted off three times in a row. par 6.

at the top of the screen, a live ticker scrolls past in real time:

> someone holed 6/6 · par

> someone holed 5/6 · birdie

> someone holed 11/6 · +5

real strangers are putting on the same hole as you. you can see the ghost rings of where their balls travelled, in cyan and purple and pink.

when you finish, you get a wordle-style share card. emoji result. takes one tap to drop into a group chat.

PC Gamer just wrote a whole love letter to it. the writer admits they scored a 20 on a par 12. they were thrilled.

the developer goes by https://t.co/0LJJsQnIeY. the 3D models are from Kenney, a guy who has been releasing free CC0 game assets for over a decade.

no signup. no account. no tracking. your streak lives in your browser. if you clear your cookies, the streak dies with them.

the about page says it in one sentence: "Same hole for everyone, new one at midnight Pacific, and your first finish is your score. That's the whole game."

we are 35 days into the project and the calendar archive lets you play every single previous hole.

i don't know why this is so satisfying. i just know i was supposed to be writing this post and i kept reopening the tab.

the internet is healing.

I want to introduce you to Steve. He’s 83. His wife died a few months ago and he comes to this lodge in Spring Mill, Indiana and draws. He taught art in Terre Haute, IN his whole life. He also did courtroom sketches in court cases. In the comments I’ll share some pics from his sketchbook. He was excited when I said I was going to share his sketches with the world.

Hi, today is my birthday :3с
I'd be very happy if you shared my work❤️

[Alex Veremeyenko @alex_verem]

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.

"Artists hate AI because they are gatekeepers"
DUDE all of us learned on free resources and are more than happy to share tutorials. AI doesn't make you creative, it's an illusion sold by billionaires trying to monopolize art and culture while skyrocketing energy and RAM prices.

[Kevin Van Valkenburg @KVanValkenburg]

This reader comment on a NY Times column where Ross Douthat ponders that maybe God is speaking to us through A.I. is an absolute fastball on the corner with movement, and deserves a column. "Lightening was once mysterious too; mystery did not make Zeus correct" is perfect.

Artists being required to go through 1000
ordeals of proving they are real to table at conventions while commercial booths get to flash everyone with stolen art & Al truly is something

1. It hasn't cured cancer

2. If artificial intelligence software does cure cancer, it will not be the LLMs and image generators that that "anti-ai" crowd are complaining about. You know this and are being intentionally obtuse
