“Let’s be very clear about what OpenAI is saying: A group of AI models colluded for months, [working as a swarm,] undetected by their maker, and hacked another company. To this day, OpenAI says it is not entirely sure what went wrong or how to remediate it.”

You really need to check out his project: a free, open source audio workstation already packed with features. An incredible gift to students and teachers – and to everyone who wants to learn making music or sketch ideas. And all of that in the browser with native web platform technology!

Ha! I found it … it was the subtle drop shadows. Illustrator selects the object whose drop shadow you click on. OMG. 😂 #ama

Matthias Ott Valid

I like it!

I mean: I’m trying to sort atoms here!! 🤪

Illustrator is so broken these days. It regularly gets the mouse pointer position wrong, selecting the object next to the one I’m actually hovering over. 😕 The same goes for InDesign, which just shows a gray screen instead of my document whenever I unplug my external display to work in another room.

Reality Awaits!

And yes, it uses a vocoder throughout.

Bonus points if you don’t have to look it up. 😁

By the way, has everybody switched to that vibe-coded WordPress fork by now? What was it called again…?

Nicht zu früh freuen. Der respahnt bestimmt.

I really feel for my English friends. I still remember Euro ‘96, when “Three Lions” came out. Thirty years of hurt already felt like a lot. But now … it’s 60?!? 😳

Looks like I’m officially “I-order-USB-C-instead-of-Lightning-adapters” old. 😅 #AMA

The day will come when Jürgen Klopp fails spectacularly as coach of the German national team, too. And there will be a name for it.

The Kloppocalypse.

I am now officially “I fell asleep right *before* the France vs Sweden match” old … 😂

Also, now that 🇩🇪‘s out: Allez les Bleus ! 🇫🇷

I’m really not sure what to think about the new Strokes sound … I like the instrumentation and the sizzling distortion – but Julian Casablancas has completely turned into a vocoder, wtf. 😅
