As soon as I can assemble my own polycule, this will be the first game we play.

Followed by Slay the Spire 2 co-op.

Sadly, I’m not too surprised. Check this shit out, published back in November 2025: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2510.25137.

“We simulated 151 million American workers [using LLMs] to see what proportion of tasks they do that can also be done by AI”.

Much more recently, Esquire couldn’t get ahold of an actor for an interview and so decided to generate the actors responses using Claude: https://esquiresg.com/mackenyu-one-piece-roronoa-zoro-interview/.

We had the photospread, but nothing directly uttered by the 29-year-old. With a driving need for a feature, we had to be inventive. Harnessing our creative license, we pulled his verbatim from previous interviews and fed them through an AI programme to formulate new responses.

Are these the words we expect from Mackenyu? Or are they just replies from an echo chamber of celebrity-hood that we want to believe is from him?

With the absence of information, can new insights be gained?

Nature abhors a vacuum, and in its place, a story fills the hollow.

Somehow it is currently accepted by a certain portion of people that LLM-based systems can be used to replace actually existing human beings.

I agree that in the short-term, NVidia stand to make more money as a destroyed datacenter prompts it’s owners to rebuild it. However, until the armed conflict stops, there might be a pause on datacenter construction in the region - why pay to (re)build a datacenter if it’s probably going to be blown up again? From my (admittedly limited) reading of history, most reconstruction only happens in the years following an armed conflict’s end.

I wonder if it would be ok to attend a furry convention wearing a sign that says “I’d love to pet you but I’m not brave enough to ask”.

That’s great to hear!

I’m disappointed there’s no threadiverse integration.

The basic grunt work of bringing together bluesky and mastodon feeds is pretty decently done, if a bit opinionated.

I like the concept and presentation of their feed “packages”, but for most of the feeds I’ve been proposed in the app I’m not interested in the entire package. It’s nice that you can still directly follow the actors packaged into a feed from that feed’s page.

It’s very annoying that Surf wants their/my Surf account to act as the intermediary for my mastodon account. From what I can see, this means I need to exit the app to take some action with my mastodon account. Maybe I just haven’t found the option, but if there isn’t one then it’s a hard blocker for me to use it as my main fediverse browser.

positively dripping!

It’s been a while since I set up my runner, and I have it on my personal desktop (which is wayyyyyy beefier than the VPS I host my forgejo instance on), but I’m pretty sure I was able to specify that only my user account can trigger actions to be run on this runner. What I’m getting at is that there is a decent amount of granularity for forgejo action permissions; you should be able to find a balance that suits you between “no actions at all” and “anyone can run any code they desire on your server”.

Exploring Satisfactory’s map has given me many more moments of wonder than in Factorio, even though I much prefer the latter’s gameplay. Definitely a strong suit of handcrafted vs procedural. It’s just a shame that Satisfactory’s gameplay somewhat incentivizes you to wait until you have trivialized the exploration, through Zipline+hover pack+radar.
