Here’s a link to my cover article! Would love to hear what others think. tl;dr both short- and long-term risks of AI are real, but there’s a need for more concrete positive visions of AI. As Yogi Berra said, “If you don't know where you are going, you’ll end up someplace else.” – at East, England
You've read the catastrophising ... it's everywhere. Here's an alternative view: What if AI actually SAVES humanity?
A fascinating read by @dioscuri, Programme Director, Leverhulme Centre for the Future of Intelligence, University of Cambridge

Thank you for ten years of listening and smiling with me. Most of my accounts are now suspended. This account is ending intentionally so you can still scroll back and see the old tweets.

From @FT on the huge voter suppression implications of the rushed and expensive voter-ID requirement.

Eggs are the ultimate token. Time proven minting process, natural scarcity (via SULFR depreciation contract), built-in utility (see Benedict mechanism), and native support for shell companies. Oh, and unlike your typical token, chicks dig it.

Yo!
I'm working hard on my own to create @AlunaRiftGame - last week I made this Gameplay trailer for it, it's come a long way in the last 12 months!

Why are people mad the Wordle guy got paid? Pay the sweet Wordle man! Give him jewels and gold for his glorious letter squares! He got less than half what it could have been worth in a bidding war and he kept it a free game. Shower him with champagne and furs!

£8 MILLION INVESTMENT IN UKGF
The UK govt has announced a further £8m in support of the UK's early stage game dev sector.
@Doctoe:"The UK sector is a global success story that is both a critical exporter and a source of extensive inward investment."

Armor Games is moving permanently to a four-day workweek after a 3 month trial.
After our latest survey 87.5% of employees were ready to implement the workweek permanently. 100% of employees felt their productivity was the same (or better) than a 5-day workweek.
At Armor Games we're extending the 4-day workweek trial to Dec 31 based on early positive results and the team unanimously requesting to continue our trial (or implement permanently). Here's more of what we've found so far (/8🧵):
#indiedev
ALT Donut chart for the question, "If you had to make a decision about the four-day workweek, what would it be?" 75% of data shows the team wanting to Continue the Trail As-is, with the remainder 25% of data requesting we implement permanently.
