Every now and again I reflect on our Charlotte's Web GBA game we produced at Backbone. It was an action platform game that had Wilbur leaping around on platforms. We referred to it internally as "Pig of Persia," in honor of Prince of Persia, the game we absurdly based it on.

if dems want messaging help, stop telling people you're "fighting back." it sounds like you're being mugged. call off the podcaster search, take your ridiculous money pile and try opening some food banks and free clinics. hurricanes are coming and the feds have no plan. looks like an opening to me.

("As pet ownership increases, so has the willingness of owners to spend on pet care. That has made investments in veterinarian medicine very popular among corporations and private-equity firms, according to a report by The Atlantic. Corporate-owned clinics see pet care as a viable revenue source, causing prices for visits to increase")Veterinary students are in high demand despite huge school debt and alarming suicide rates - Los Angeles Times https://t.co/EKNEDh99w5

("Anthropic notes that Claude Opus 4 tries to blackmail engineers 84% of the time when the replacement AI model has similar values. When the replacement AI system does not share Claude Opus 4’s values, Anthropic says the model tries to blackmail the engineers more frequently. Notably, Anthropic says Claude Opus 4 displayed this behavior at higher rates than previous models")"Anthropic’s new AI model turns to blackmail when engineers try to take it offline"https://t.co/glGjA3f4nq pic.twitter.com/qPqmBPwB2N

(Not fact-checking this--anyone interested in reading these books must be a fundamentally different customer than the person reading something of higher quality) (Also, I get why people would want an AI to summarize tech/business podcasts--they're often absurdly long discussions with dull "important" people with a heavy sprinkling of crank obsessions)So that now makes Lena McDonald, KC Crowne and Rania Faris leaving ChatGPT prompts in their ‘books’.

I’m so fucking tired, guys. If you don’t write, you’re not a writer. It’s that simple. Stop doing this to your readers, who PAY.
Readers and authors deserve better than this. https://t.co/BoQC9VZMKC pic.twitter.com/mIDtvgOnJs
