Yet again, the Game UI Database is being scraped to the point that it's getting knocked offline. Even Cloudflare's "I'm under attack" mode isn't working.
I just wanted to create a resource for real designers. I'm getting so fucking sick of this.

Although the giant golden statues often get most of the attention, some of the most interesting bits at a Buddhist temple can be in its murals

Wat Rong Khun (aka the White Temple) in Chiang Rai was developed in the 2000s

Its murals include depictions of the 9/11 attacks and Neo from The Matrix

I’m sorry, what?!
The AI minister has used AI-generated synthetic focus groups provided by a private company to test public opinion on AI and other issues

The model is trained on data from real-life focus groups
I hosted an in-conversation with AI minister Kanishka Narayan at Labour conference

We covered a lot of ground...

He said there was too much AI “doomerism” in Westminster

And revealed he has used synthetic AI focus groups to gauge public opinion on a range of topics

What? This is ‘let us cheat or we’ll pull investments’ isn’t it?

It’s too early and I’ve not had nearly enough coffee for this and that AI Tory tapestry

I might throw my phone into the sea…
UAE warns Andy Burnham it may pull billions in investment for the UK's proposed Oxford-Cambridge tech hub—dubbed the UK's Silicon Valley—in retaliation over Manchester City's guilty verdict, per The Telegraph.

This might have been sold but if it isn’t would anyone be interested in a large framed ‘blep!’ print?

It’s 23 of 100. Professionally framed with the more expensive non-reflective glass. Size 21.5” x 28” (55cm x72cm)

Preferably someone nearby because I wouldn’t trust posting this. DM if interested

The BBC must have published 30+ articles since that Man City story broke - and not one of them has opened a HYS comment section

Scared of something lads?

I thought Japan had turned a corner by realising that their rapidly aging demographics were a significant problem

But, nope, they’re still pandering to that rapidly aging cohort (aren’t we all?) with younger generations expected to pick up the tab - despite declining birth rates

Stagnation awaits!
Japan raises permanent residency fees for foreigners by 20 times
The hikes are part of immigration policy changes introduced to manage Japan's growing foreign population.

These reports from @gamersnexus.bsky.social are fantastic

I can’t imagine they’re doing anything positive to Steve’s blood pressure though

I am told Maeve is now available for adoption. Going to try to take her out for a field trip this week & provide additional adorable photos.
This is Maeve. She may be the sweetest, most good natured, most trusting dog I have ever met. She was abandoned in DC last week, and since I’m not able to adopt a dog now, I had to turn her over to the Brandywine Animal Shelter. I want to make sure this absolute delight of a dog finds a good home.

‘Super Intelligence’ and ‘Super Intelligence Providers’, huh?

C’mon guys, this is like when you declare yourself ‘World Champions’ of a ‘World Series’ that absolutely no-one else gives a shit about

It’s a level of America-brain that’s painfully cringe to watch
