Making a game seems like fun until you realize that gamers will get to enjoy it. No. Enough.

I’m at @nytimes on how Dems like @BernieSanders and @AOC are using regulations to effect change in the AI industry—but their goals are informed by hypecycle bluster from Silicon Valley higher-ups rather than workers.

Uber’s COO has said that it’s getting “harder to justify” its AI costs because there was no way to show a link between AI spend and any meaningful increase in useful features. This is the first time I’ve seen a company say this directly.

* I don't write for Jacobin
* I do not support Platner because he is not a socialist
* That article is me reporting on data, because I am interested in data
* I am old enough to remember when you told people to vote for Hillary
BadEmpanada@GoyEmpanada
@_carlbeijer You're a Jacobin writer who supports basically every single liberal Zionist in the Democratic Party You pinned post is an impassioned defense of Graham Platner, a military mass murderer who brags about killing Iraqis and Afghans.

Just spoke with one of my employees (Asian).
Two things we gathered from our talk:
-Eyes on the market. Always.
-Video game girls should live forever.

The sun will die before gamers realize that “good graphics” aren’t what makes a game’s development expensive or labor intensive.

I genuinely don't understand how videogames got infinitely harder to make since 2016 while the graphics aren't even all that much better.

The “Free Press” is wall-to-wall racist genocidal freaks and the only reason anyone has to take them seriously is because they’re patronized by Silicon Valley and then, eventually, the Ellisons worth $400 B. Without this patronage theyre fringe trolls writing screeds no one reads

Setting aside the constitutionality of whether he can stay, the grift is laughable and transparent: He hates America, and he's fighting as hard as he can to stay in America -- because only by staying can he continue playing the role of activist railing against the regime.

Did you know that Gaussian splatting always assumed that none of the Gaussians overlap, which is definitely not a correct assumption? Our CVPR 2026 (findings) effort Softmax-GS improves over the non-overlapping assumption in Gaussian splatting, and make multiple Gaussians compete in regions where they overlap using a softmax function, which greatly improves rendering performance when less Gaussians are used, as well as rendering consistency from different viewpoints. Especially, check out our experiments fitting multiple geometric shapes with only 4 Gaussians!

The way to square this circle is to realize that all corporate decisionmaking—whether it’s short-termism or long-term vision—oligarchic and dictatorial and not democratically accountable. And that’s what people are actually reacting against. 1/
Alex Godofsky@AlexGodofsky
People complain about corporate "short-termism", "chasing quarterly profits" and so on but what makes them really angry, what truly enrages them beyond all reason, is seeing corporations with an actual long-term vision willing to endure years of losses in pursuit of a goal.

U.S. officials are calling Cuban military drones a threat in a way that sounds more like manufacturing a pretext for military action.

I wish my course on the novel had assigned substantial books like that. It was advertised with “readings drawn from a range of cultures and communities,” but the actual content was novels by C. Brontë, Fitzgerald, Hemingway, James, Woolf and and The Concubine by Elechi Amadi
Joyce Carol Oates@JoyceCarolOates
recalling days, years in the previous century when you could assign substantial novels like "Moby Dick," "Madame Bovary," "The Brothers Karamazov" in a single course & students would read them without complaint, & often with (believe it or not) enjoyment. no difference in human nature but a profound difference in human habits now, primarily the cacophonous spell of the online world.
