our boy Moldy is back at Urbit (gosh! etc), as interviewed by an Urbit loving crypto bro. Anyway, they're gonna solve their funding problems by doing a shitcoin
  • Doesn't look like they did any coordinating (openly, at least), only 9 comments on NixOS, 4 in November when Srid went straight to themotte crying about being banned for CoC violation, and 5 on 5 May where they are baffled and unable to even understand criticism of JR/Anduril.

    Incidentally, the "woke invasion" page says the author got banned in November, so I guess Shivaraj is an alias of Srid.

  • These videos are, of course, suspiciously cut to avoid showing all the times it completely fucked up, and still shows the engine completely fucking up.

    • "This door requires a blue key" stays on screen forever
    • the walls randomly get bullet damage for no reason
    • the imp teleports around, getting lost in the warehouse brown
    • the level geometry fucks up and morphs
    • it has no idea how to apply damage floors
    • enemies resurrect randomly because how do you train the model to know about arch-viles and/or Nightmare difficulty
    • finally: it seems like they cannot die because I bet it was trained on demos of successful runs of levels and not the player dying.

    The training data was definitely stolen from https://dsdarchive.com/, right?

    it’s interesting that the only real “hallucination” I can see in the video pops up when the player shoots an enemy, which results in some blurry feedback animations

    Well, good news for the author, it's time for him to replay doom because it's clearly been too long.

  • The Cybertruck guy using nostr for image hosting is the kind of brand consistency you can expect from this crowd.

  • Leopard-trainer J. Tunney now scared of leopards
  • I might be one of the few who had the reverse revelation, learning about her terrible politics, and then marveling at the amazing technical accomplishments when I read further. Is that a new different way to have a terrible time online? Discovering that Racist Duck also made milkshakes.

  • What's the deal with the recent activity on the old subreddit?
  • It seems like many still-active redditors have consulted Ass, My, et al (2024) to conclude any alternative to reddit were abject failures and not worth investigating

  • the number of people on /r/sneerclub who seem utterly unaware of the new digs is tragic.

  • The EU’s AI Act enters into force. Good.
  • feed it into their spicy autocomplete engines which then flood the internet with AI sludge

    I'm getting a mental image of a wood chipper: a word chipper.

  • https://status.d420.de/ there's a few nitters post-rebirth, all of them probably using a fleet of real accounts and anti-bot protection instead of the guest accounts that first-age nitter used.

  • look, the enshittification isn't going to do *itself*
  • Mouse-of-Theseus. Mouseus.

  • look, the enshittification isn't going to do *itself*
  • I have been trying to navigate the current mouse market, I am hoping that these new fancy "good for 20 million clicks" switches that have migrated from mechanical keyboards over to mice mean that my next mouse will last for 20 years or so. Now to just find a way to differentiate between the 500,000 mice that are all at the €45 price point with the same form factor and specs.

  • taking a peek at a subreddit for lovers of ai art
  • Calls it a "hostile takeover" even though he literally explains why it wasn't a hostile takeover: Developers were way behind schedule and not making progress, Star Theory leadership tried to hold T2 hostage with the project and T2 called their bluff and cancelled the contract. They then offered developers to transfer to new studio. Some developers wanted a pay raise or didn't transfer for other reason.

    This seems like bad faith rules lawyering. The publisher didn't literally buy out the studio, they just withheld funding, made a new studio they owned and forced everyone over. They took over, it was hostile.

  • Trippy, their username counts, Trippy. They are posting their username to your sub. Even if you ignore (don't!) that usernames are links to their other Nazi posts, they are posting Nazi phrases, to your sub. "outside of the sub"? Trippy.

  • Can't blame this shit on the survey!

    I checked, crypto shit was not in any of the top 8 results (top 5 broken out, and they mentioned 3 more, which are surely #6 through #8).

  • Proton Mail goes AI, security-focused userbase goes ‘what on earth’
  • To think that when sneer club/techtakes migrated to lemmy, I was pretty sure we would not be getting a lot of incidental traffic to the communities. Just about as wrong as you can be.

  • Can't wait to find out that the Perseid meteor shower, which has inspired humanity for centuries, is actually just Von Neumann probes from a long-dead civilization that spam their equivalent of tea.xyz pull requests on any planet that has advanced to hosting source forges.

  • "Any messages beyond this tweet from anyone claiming to be from Pendle is a scam"

    33 replies from scammers. Holy shit.

  • That tracing woodgrains peice on David Gerard is out
  • Trace RTs someone hoping aloud that his nonsense gets laundered by an RS, then breathlessly reports on his literal transparent brigade getting unbanned using a very strained appeal to WP:AGF, so I am starting to get a picture of his end-goal.

  • New release: Remix Jam is a 30 (+start) map jam for the Copper mod (included) that takes iconic Multiplayer layouts from various games and adapts them into the Quake universe. Groovy.
