What are some good examples of creators who "went on a run" of unbroken generation-level genius output? - Orson Welles 1931-40 - Stan Lee, Jack Kirby & Marvel artists 62-64 - The Beatles 63-69 - Jobs & Ive 97-2011 - Pixar 95-2010 - Lucas / Spielberg 75-85 - Bob Dylan 1964-66

bro that thought-terminating cliche is incoherent and epistemically unsound, your internal agentic system got DDOSed by a trivial level of complexity revealing the bandwidth limits of your (current?) system architecture

It’s every indie dev's worst nightmare. I created this concept for the GMTK game jam. I held off on my Steam page to obsessively polish the mechanics... and it just got cloned and shipped. Probably mostly with a simple AI prompt. Here’s my original build vs theirs 👇

taste is mostly not something you're born with. it's something that is fucking drilled into your skull in the most painful ways possible, from childhood to every second after.

I've decided that I'm just going to put the question mark outside of the quotation marks when it's not part of the quote. The rule is wrong, and I'm just not going to do it.

To all of my Jewish friends honoring today’s Yom Kippur - I wish you a wonderful year ahead, starting with a fresh slate, after atoning for the mistakes of commission and omission. May we all be better versions of ourselves next year 🙏❤️🙏

It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World (1963) was 3 hours and 30 minutes of glorious Ultra Panavision 70 anamorphic (1.25X) 65mm Eastman 50T 5250 film. Shit. That's a lot of numbers...sorry. But damn, it looks so good.

"When I was a kid, like countless other art-oriented kids I’m sure, I was endlessly asked what drugs I took to come up with what I drew. I resented it. Was it so out of the realm of possibility to create without an external enhancement?" —Wayne Barlowe, 2007

My favorite piece on this wrote that Tokyo "has remained affordable by becoming the world's largest city. It has become the world's largest city by remaining affordable." Tokyo shows a vision of inclusive building others can pursue and does so while eschewing traditional means.

neuroscientists discovered your brain believes whatever you think on repeat, and it doesn't care if it's true.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The cited 2021 paper studied the illusory truth effect: people rate externally repeated statements as more true because they become easier to process. It did not find that the brain automatically believes whatever you think internally on repeat, or that truth is irrelevant. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
