Tim Sweeney says it "makes no sense" for stores like Steam to label games that are made using AI, since AI "will be involved in nearly all future production" (Alex Forbes-Calvin/GamesIndustry.biz)

As a security engineer, whenever anyone talks about a control it's always important to ask "by what mechanism?"
> "Oh, that can't happen because we have a system to stop it."
By what mechanism?
> "We have documentation that says...."
Yeah, that's not a mechanism.
People keep saying, "Trump can't do that!" But like... by what mechanism?
> "The constitution says..."
Yeah... a documented list of rules is not self-enforcing. What is the mechanism?
What makes this impossible? Oh, it's possible under certain conditions? Oh, it's always possible and you're completely relying on the idea that there will never be a malicious actor? Yeah, that's gonna get exploited. Oh shit, now you're owned.
What do you do with a system that's completely owned? Once it's compromised it can never be trusted again. What would you tell a client who told you, "Patching is really hard, so we're just gonna ban the attacker's IP."
What, you're not even gonna reinstall?
I assume we've all had the "burn everything down and start again" client. I wonder how many of us thought we would see the US government ask for them to hold it's beer.

When people tell me "Why do you only listen to such old-fashioned music, your taste in music is hopelessly outdated!", I send them these 3 pictures

Side by side the embarrassingly stupid text of "Run the world (Girls)" (which needed 6 writers and 4 producers) and Bohemian Rhapsody (which had 1 writer and 1 producer)
The music sheets for a Beethoven Sonata next to something by Justin Bieber
A picture of Rihanna in an interview, saying "Sometimes I had to just stop recording because the lyrics were too deep. They would leave me in tears" and a picture from the video clip of a song by her, where the lyrics are "cake cake cake cake cake cake"

Understanding the evolution of black hole spin in X-ray binary systems: Case study of XTE~J1550-564
We present a comprehensive study of the X-ray binary system XTE~J1550-564, with the primary objective of analyzing the evolution of the black hole's spin parameter. To achieve this objective, we embarked on the necessary step of identifying a plausible progenitor for the system. Using a set of models covering various parameter combinations, we were able to replicate the system's observed characteristics within acceptable error margins, including fundamental parameters such as component masses, …

60 years ago tonight, the merry pranksters' first informal acid test, held at ken babbs's place outside santa cruz, where the grateful dead did not play (& all purported flyers are almost certainly fake). below text from dennis mcnally's bio & i wrote about it for the 50th.

the larger world. The first of those special parties was at Ken Babbs’s place in Soquel, near Santa Cruz, on the coast south of Palo Alto, on November 27, 1965. Such public notice as there was of the event came through a posting at Lee Quarn- strom and Peter Dema’s Hip Pocket Bookstore in Soquel. The Pranksters were joined by Allen Ginsberg and his lover, Peter Orlovsky, and Garcia, Lesh, Weir, Sue Swanson, and Connie Bonner among others, and the night basically involved hang- ing out and tripp…
Kesey didn’t want to give it up, but Phil was not dissuaded, and learned one of his early lessons in the subtleties of trip- ping. He proceeded to gluehiseyesonKesey, and in a while Ken got up and shoved the guitar at him. “Here.” Weir, on the other hand, had another sort of adventure. Although he had read “Howl,” he did not recognize Allen Ginsberg, and saw only that he “was pretty damned amazing, the stuff he would say and do. So I figure, okay, I'm gonna sit next to this guy. Which was okay …

So, what do I love about #NoMansSky?
This picture shows where you have followed a clue correctly, but in the wrong place.
All those little ball terminals?
Messages left from other players getting you on right path (and saying “hi”) Behind them? Someone built a base to help you get back.
Pretty cool

Screenshot from no man’s sky showing the surface of a ruddy planet Scattered in front of the view are at least a dozen ball-shaped message terminals These terminals have been left by random players to let whoever gets here know that they are in the wrong galaxy, many of them display messages of greeting, or simply letting you know where you need to be. Behind that ridge is a small base that someone constructed complete with a cook stove, a save beacon, and a teleporter to help you get back to w…

OpenAI Plots Generating AI Music in Potential Rivalry With Startup Suno
OpenAI recently made a splash with artificial intelligence that generates short videos from text prompts—say, a scene from “Lord of the Rings” but with Gen Z characters, or Pokémon’s Pikachu as “The Godfather.” Now the company has set its sights on doing the same thing with music. OpenAI staff ...
