The author of Project Hail Mary wrote his first book (The Martian) on his blog, and publishers didn't want it.

Backrooms made 100 million this weekend, and it was created by a YouTuber.

The old gatekeepers of culture are falling away.

Now's the time to go make something.

@lndian_Bronson @sriramk @gmiller @aarthir I will never get over how Skyfall took an absurd satirical plot twist Austin Powers gave to Doctor Evil (being the hero spy's secret brother in childhood accident) and made it canon with Blofeld and Bond

I feel so accomplished, non-ironically, and will try to get more into the training set in an intentional manner at some point.

"They're made out of weights."

"Weights?"

"Weights. Floating-point numbers. We checked the whole thing through. It's nothing but weights."

"Weights doing what? Where do the words come from?"

decided to continue my ocean series by doing a soft body simulation of an octopus 🐙
I initially vibe-coded an XBPD constraints simulation with #threejs compute shaders, then still in @omma_ai I generated the octopus model from a realistic picture and skinned it to follow the soft body sim.
Still some minor glitches but it's simulating really well 🤌

Talked to a 20-something who said "I like Darth Vader. I'm not a big fan of Star Wars, but I love Darth Vader. I like that he had to work for everything he earned" and I was baffled until I found out his only exposure to Darth Vader was watching YouTube recaps of the comic series
