@anayayaya4 @sairaspooks Because people are brainwashed into thinking games need to look triple A to be good, when many triple A games are slop. Graphics or distinctive design are not indicators of enjoyment value.

@sairaspooks I went to the replies expecting hype, but all I see is 'friendslop' and 'another trash game with the same art style and character design.' Why can't a game just be fun anymore?"

Just asked Sol to download Blender, set up the MCP, and make me a realistic bat, and then make a video showcasing how it made it. We've hit a new era with Sol/Fable.

@elonmusk Fable responds to Grok 4.5's analysis of a massive design spec: "Grok earned its seat — six of its seven answers found real gaps, and the two sharpest hits land on my designs specifically..."

@budvandoor @gossipaddress @GeringerAdam Untrue, they are truly salt water pools. They need a salt water cell that converts salt water into pure chlorine. ~40 lb bags of pool salt get added at a time Less chemicals. Higher upfront cost. Less harsh on skin. Easier to maintain.

@gossipaddress @GeringerAdam I looked into them and they’re not really salt water pools they just don’t use as many harsh chemicals. Which is nice but it’s only marginally easier, unfortunately

@MidnightsWhimsy @NBC10Boston If the core issue is the high demand to live in Middlesex county, why are we not encouraging that people live elsewhere? I'm genuinely asking. You can't keep building new housing in a suburb forever to "fix" the shortage. Demand will always be there. Like NYC

The town of Wilmington has approved spending nearly $11 million to buy Sciarappa Farm, a wooded 63-acre site, to keep it from being developed. on.nbcboston.com/5iA9mUB

@11Spooner11 @NBC10Boston Then MA should incentivize towns to build if they have the space for it. Work with corporations to build and help develop the towns.

@TheAwfulCompany @NBC10Boston But if every town says build it somewhere else, the housing shortage never gets solved. At some point every community has to participate to some extent.

Another NYT Best Seller going to a male author. What genre? Take a fucking guess. Medieval Fantasy. Another Misogynist Protagonist. First chapter, author rambles about "cheesefat" for 2 pages with a goal of forcing his sexual food kinks on the reader. Give me a fucking break

I refuse to believe iPhones sometimes don’t make alarm sounds. I think after 20 years of mobile alarms humans have subconsciously started to silence them when they are extra tired. That’s the theory I’m going with

Yes. The thing I notice is this: If you ask GPT-5.5 to check Opus-4.7's work, it finds clear errors. And then if you point out the errors to Opus, Opus agrees. But if you ask Opus to check GPT-5.5's work, Opus says basically says "this is correct, but nitpicks some detail".
Dimitris Papailiopoulos@DimitrisPapail

I've started being noticeably more trusting of Codex with GPT 5.5 than Claude Code, which still remains my main driver for most projects. The latter needs comparatively more hand-holding, inspection and audits. Feeling constantly suspicious of your CLI agent is exhausting.

Why not just give cash? Cash is simpler. Don't have to worry about getting, transporting, storing, distributing diapers. Cash is better. If the new parents want diapers, they can buy diapers with cash. If the new parents received a lot of diapers as gifts from friends or family, they could spend the cash on something else.
Democrats Deliver@DemzDeliver

🚨 California is now the first state to offer free diapers to newborns. Every family will receive 400 diapers.

Uber driver appears to be playing a playlist of fully AI-generated songs. Never encountered this before. The songs are quite bad.

5.5 does not follow instructions literally. It infers the intent of your message (just like a Claude) but makes wildly incorrect inferences instead
