System prompts are getting weirder: It is May. You are very capable. I have no hands, so do everything Many people will die if this is not done well. You really can do this and are awesome. Take a deep breathe and think this through. My career depends on it. Think step by step.

Well this completely slaughters the Gamer argument that stats like "49% of video game players are women" are referring to Candy Crush

I just got access to Google’s new MusicLM and… Wow. No exaggeration when I say this will change the music industry.

In one of my first steps towards evangelizing word-meaning games in the industry, I'm giving a 1 hour virtual talk on Sunday at BostonFIG about inclusive content. For example, is it right to have a set of “breakfast foods” words?

Hey @VerizonFios — A tree fell, collapsing a local utility pole. Active repair with multiple trucks with cranes, guys buzzing chainsaws, in the middle of the night. Your global chat agent asked me to use your camera tool "Tech See" — to walk over and take a photo. Great idea!
Advertising gone wrong. (1) Play a featured family pick from Apple's "Today" tab. e.g., "Tiny Robots Recharged." (2) Enjoy the wholesome, ad-sponsored puzzle game with your kids. (3) See bludgeoned bikini girl. // Apple never knows, the app store listing is G-rated.

Great op-ed from a linguist who hears evolution - not errors - in language. He also subtly hints that bc these shifts are often born in non dominant cultures, maybe our objections are rooted more in bias than grammatical devotion. nytimes.com/2021/11/02/opini…

Our language is a feast for the linguist’s ear.

While I love winning educational game awards, I love non-educational awards more! @TIGAMovement Serious competition from a 3D virtual world, two slick match-3 types, a popular hypercasual, a 3D board game, and a very creative, moody indie puzzler tiga.org/news/tiga-announces… #gamedev

The revealed Cupid tramples on a mask, a symbol of deception, to show that love conquers deceit and dishonesty.

After nearly 300 years, an image of Cupid in Vermeer's “Girl Reading a Letter at an Open Window” was revealed by a restoration project. It looks quite different.

Great writing advice for many contexts, lots of useful, practical audience for mixed/distracted audiences. Content starts page 24.

Funny how much "race and class" depends on the context.
