i'm thinking we, as a species, lost the plot. don't know where. but if we're talking about AI rights while the rights of trans people, pregnant people, immigrants, and Black and brown people are daily eroded, we messed up somewhere.
Can chatbots feel – or even dream? Meet the man leading the fight for AI rights
Cattle rancher and tech CEO Michael Samadi is convinced these artificial minds are far from just tools. Has he glimpsed digital consciousness – or simply been seduced by an algorithm?

🧵 I have inattentive #ADHD. This means I forget things and my working memory isn't great. Before I was diagnosed I was worried I had young onset dementia and it was a massive relief to get my diagnosis.

Your games hook is "why would someone want to play this?", not (by default) its USP
It's the thing that in a 6-second trailer makes people go "oooh I want to know more". If you can't articulate that, then you're going to struggle to find what makes the game interesting to the average person
It's the thing that in a 6-second trailer makes people go "oooh I want to know more". If you can't articulate that, then you're going to struggle to find what makes the game interesting to the average person
and you get this when you talk to publishers still. "What's your USP? What's your unique mechanic?" man, I'm telling you, as a person who's worked at a very high level consulting on projects and being very good at knowing what sells: players do not care about features like that

What's your go to song when you're feeling melancholy? Generally, I know I'm in that kind of mood whenever I want to listen to The Loneliness of a Tower Crane Driver by Elbow (which I would heavily recommend listening to if you haven't 👀)

The fact that @channel4.bsky.social would air a derogatory and ignorant "documentary" like The Great ADHD Myth is exactly why I built @adhdingames.bsky.social, because ADHD is constantly under-attack from people who do not understand and want to blame us instead

“ADHD didn’t exist back then either!” Oh word? Grandpa looked like a mummy at age 48 from a diet of over the counter amphetamines, coffee, and a carton a week unfiltered purely out of love of the game?

Posted it on LinkedIn, but might as well say it here too - I had a bit of work fall through, so have some unexpected availability at the moment.
If you have any projects/events/research etc that might benefit from a bit of Luke-shaped assistance, then now's a good time to drop me a line 🤘

I'm actually fairly heartened to see in normie spaces people talking about JK Rowling honestly and describing her as a motivated bigot that funnels profits into hate crimes.
I saw a writer from Variety making it very clear HP funds her hate.
It feels like the tide is making a significant turn.
