If, like me, you love 1990s Web sites, back when the internet wasn't enshittified by Big Tech yet, have a look at Wiby, a Web 1.0 search engine. Click on "Surprise me…" for random discoveries, often personal Web pages about obscure niche subjects, but sometimes you find a hidden gem… https://wiby.org #web #internet #online #RetroComputing #RetroTech #VintageComputing #retro #history #computing #IT #1990s #tech #technology #vintage #nostalgia #digital

Stop saying that AI is just a tool and it only matters how it is used
Frank Elavsky

Stop saying that AI is just a tool and it only matters how it is used

I’m tired of this phrase and this simple way of thinking about tools. This blog post is a wandering train of thought on the topic of what tools are and why it matters to be even slightly more mature in how we think about them.

Five tech giants are hiding $1.65tn in AI debt, using the trick that toppled Enron

A Nikkei study found Alphabet, Microsoft, Amazon, Meta and Oracle carry $1.65tn in off-balance-sheet debt for AI, more than they report. It is all legal.

I love this Sega Mega Drive / Genesis FM synth remake of our game dev team's composer Ramon Braumuller's Hoi level 1 Amiga game track.

The remake was created by Bluesky user VantGuy99-YT, and recorded from an actual Mega Drive for audio authenticity. 💚

Yesterday I was searching if Blender can convert sculpt masks to vertex colors for texture masking. Couldn’t find it via Startpage, so I tried Bing. Its AI on top provided credible answers, all of which turned out to be total bullshit, referring to functions that don’t even exist. How can such crap be publicly offered? 😖 Then I rediscovered myself that you can simply add an Attribute in Blender, then paint on your model with shades of black and white, and use that for texture masking. #B3D #AI
