Hey gamedevs! GDC has opened up their call for submissions for core concepts (summits are later). I'm on the advisory board for design so really want to encourage people to submit. Give us some cool talk proposals!

I know my teachers always remarked on how much attention I paid in class and how promptly my homework was done, they never had long meetings with my parents I developed ADHD when I was 30, obviously (there are not enough sarcasm tags for this 90s student to express his feelings)

I'm not going to try to speak for American Jews, but I get the feeling that there's going to be large numbers of them that are confused about the shared Sabbath

To be honest, the bookies giving Canada a 10% chance against Argentina (at 90 minutes) is pretty good. I'll take it Allez Les Rouges

In AI, we often talk about bias and how it’s hard to detect when you don’t know where the data is coming from.

But sometimes, companies like Tesla confirm that their data collection is INHERENTLY biased. (Raw driving data isn’t useful without annotation.)

As a Canadian worrying about our next election cycle, I want to congratulate Britain and France on blocking the naked takeover of their governments by right wing populists and slowing the decay of democracy. Also, thanks, really needed that news

Repeat after me, tech folks: marginalized communities are NOT a valid test bed for your shiny AI tools. AI bias has already caused enough harm to these communities. Don’t go in without humility, partnership, and a deep community understanding of the unintended consequences your work will have.

I used to play D&D with a guy who grew up quite affluent. I was not doing so hot while he was doing his Masters in PoliSci, and he proceeded to explain to me how being poor feels. His girlfriend directed me away from him before I did something rash.

I love satellite internet, it's so fast. Unless there's a cloud, or it's windy and a tree bends a bit, then I get stuttering on 144p video or low quality audio. *grumbles about country life*
