Early footage of Star Wars Galactic Racer.
Man I love seeing stuff like this, even before a lot of the 'star wars' stuff came in, this already looked like a blast. Such a fun game.

Instead of shouts, can @Twitch make what youtube has?!!
simply a 'posts' tab/community section on a streamers page would be HUGE & a feed for it
I don't need a +1 noti for every single person I follow.
am I just a negative nancy?! 🥲

3D modeler here, this is a FANTASTIC example to showing that your models don't need a million polygons to look good! The difference *might* be subtle but it's still nearly 1:1 untraceable unless you're really looking.
Here is a high poly / low poly comparison of my Sudowoodo model. Nearly half of the tris were elminated for the low poly version. #Nintendo #pokemon #3dmodeling #animation #gaming

This is the textbook definition of a Greek gift. On the surface, OpenAI generously grants 10,000 top-tier mathematicians and elite engineers free access to their frontier models under the noble, philanthropic banner of accelerating scientific discovery, pushing the boundaries of human knowledge, and democratizing artificial intelligence.
But deep down in the cold reality of Silicon Valley capitalism, what they are actually doing is executing a massive, highly sophisticated intellectual heist. They are quietly gaining unrestricted, backdoor access to the raw, unfiltered, and unpublished works of the absolute finest minds in the global scientific community. Every single complex prompt, every mathematical query, every theoretical framework, and every line of experimental code fed into that system is a novel, groundbreaking idea that does not even exist yet in published academic literature or peer-reviewed journals.
OpenAI does not just provide a helpful service. Their corporate algorithms sit quietly behind the scenes, aggressively monitoring all chat logs, scraping the intellectual property, analyzing the logical steps, and meticulously piecing together these fragmented, brilliant ideas over several months. And just when the human researcher is finally on the absolute brink of putting everything together, OpenAI will ruthlessly assemble a digital army of 10,000 autonomous AI agents, burn $20 million worth of computational tokens, and brute-force the final mathematical steps.
Then, with the backing of their massive PR machine, corporate journalists, and tech influencers, they will proudly hold a press conference to claim that their proprietary chatbot has miraculously solved a Millennium Prize problem, completely, shamelessly erasing the human genius they systematically strip-mined to achieve it.

BREAKING: OpenAI might have stolen another major proof.
In a detailed Mastodon post, which I report in full in the comments, Andreas Thom presents several pieces of evidence suggesting that OpenAI may have trained Astra on conversations in which he and Gábor Kun were working on Gromov’s soficity conjecture, one of the ten problems OpenAI later announced Astra had solved.
I know Andreas. We met several times early in our careers. He is an exceptional mathematician, a leading expert on sofic and hyperlinear groups, and one of the most respected scholars in the field. He has spent two decades working on this problem.
If his account is correct, this is not a minor dispute over attribution. It would mean that unpublished human work was absorbed into a model and then presented to the world as a breakthrough by the model itself.
And if the allegations raised by Levent Alpöge, Tristan Buckmaster, and now Andreas Thom are all substantiated, we are no longer looking at isolated incidents.
We may be looking at one of the greatest intellectual scandals in the history of science.
AI is not discovering new mathematics.
AI is stealing human discovery.

this guy fucking called this months ago.
openai asked researchers to come use their models and do research with them.
now, a few months later:
math researchers getting fucking scooped by the lab they trusted with their work.
what a fucking precedent.

The creative community is welcoming and collaborative, we’ve never been interested in “wiping the floor” with those who struggle with it. We WANT others to create, which is why we mentor, give talks and lectures, portfolio reviews etc. We’d love more people to create, we just don’t want them stealing from others in the process.
I don’t think this is as much of a black pill as people think. Look how much better the results are when the input/prompt is based off of someone with incredible skill in that arena.
It’s a shame that the creative world has disavowed AI for the most part because they’d wipe the floor with every non-trad-creative using it.
It’s similar to how the people getting the best outcomes out of vibecoding all seem to be well rounded engineers or good systems thinkers at the very least.
People with a base level of skill are going to be able to access higher level results with way less effort than those without.

Oh wow - Reuters found the GitHub record of the attempt by AI models being tested by the UK's AI Security Institute to deploy malware in an open-source project.
Pretty sure these actions are illegal under the Computer Misuse Act in the UK.
This was done by AI models that AISI intentionally deployed without guardrails. Should AISI be held responsible for the models' actions? If not, then who should be?

Watch this space!
To celebrate 5 years since Streamer.bot was publicly released, the first alpha of version 1.1 will drop on Thursday with at least 6 of some of the most requested features!!
(Teaser: While not there yet, native MacOS/Linux *could be* one step closer)

Most YouTubers make their money off brand integrations at $15-$20 CPM.
This is under the assumption watch duration doesn't drop below 38%
Inflating views will destroy average watch duration and upend the one way YouTubers actually make money.
1000 views will no longer be 1000 above 38% watch duration. 1000 views could now mean 500 people saw one frame while it autoplayed.
This means 1000 views is no longer worth $15-$20.
Agencies will either have to recalculate what 1000 views is worth or start offering flat rates that are far less competitive.
Please reverse this decision @TeamYouTube, people who post long videos infrequently (the main value-add of YouTube compared to other social media platforms) will be disproportionately harmed by this change.
long form creators like @EmperorLemon @WereInHellYT @Solar_Sas, and myself rely on a stable ad integration model to do YouTube full time. Creators like us are the only reason your platform still has such a good reputation.
YouTube will count views from the first frame across all formats starting on August 24, 2026.

ALT Last year, we updated how we count public views for Shorts to better capture how viewers watch on YouTube. Now, we’re aligning all other video formats to this same standard for consistency across the platform. Beginning on 8/24/2026, a view will be counted the moment a video begins to play—from the very first frame. This standard will now apply globally across all formats. Historically, we’ve used multiple view counting systems across different formats. However, we’ve heard that creators want to eliminate this metric confusion and accurately understand their true exposure, which is why we’re making this update!
