"The sad, the weird, the awkward parts of sex and physical intimacy" - that's what the team wanted "coalescent || tidal rapture" to explore, instead of another game selling you a tidy romance fantasy. @sharpiepls.com is digging in with great questions!🌊

Reading an article about AI agents and just struck by how much this technology is made by, made for, used by, is foundationally based on the assumptions of "manager brain" or "owners". You never do things, you have others do things for you, which now counts as yours. Delusional way to see the world.

i have an inconsequential bone to pick with public signage in France, something about the use of the first person makes it sound very condescending to me, like they're talking to a child. "je monte et je descends avec" yeah i better hope so lol? just "n'oubliez pas vos sacs" would've been fine

I Work in Hollywood. Everyone Who Used to Make TV Is Now Secretly Training AI
For screenwriters like me—and job seekers all over—AI gig work is the new waiting tables. In eight months, I’ve done 20 of these soul-crushing contracts for five different platforms. It’s bad.
