I was already doing this sort of stuff with MCP, mostly just for fun. This makes that much more accessible (apart from the pricey plan limitation, of course) but I'm concerned most knowledge workers don't know the risks. They'll find out I guess! https://t.co/IPfFiuvfNE

When reading Torvalds' past comments on AI coding tools, I admit I was pretty surprised at such a nuanced stance from someone known for being pretty outspoken. But Torvalds usually has pretty smart takes—even if his communication style can be brash. https://t.co/UNHUSD629I

A few weeks back, I visited @zipline's secret testing facility in California to get a demo of the company's drone delivery service, which launches this week in Texas. Reader, I was extremely impressed. Full details over at @arstechnica

Spending a lot of time using Runway and Midjourney is like fully leaning into living in the multiverse. Everything is possible but nothing means anything. It’s pretty cool.

The Vectrex could have been a game-changer had the videogame market not imploded in the early '80s. 40 years later, an unfinished game has finally seen release thanks to a chance encounter. It's a wild story, and you can read it now over at @arstechnica

40 years later, it's time for the Vectrex to shine.

I'm looking for experienced freelancers to write features about gaming and tech for Ars Technica. Extra emphasis on 80s/90s retro tech, open source, PC gaming, and geek culture for Gen X and older millennials, etc. DM me if you're interested or know someone, or RT if you might!

So sane, so measured, so insightful, so accurate... does this non-sensational and clear-eyed take on Baldur's Gate 3-Gate even belong on the internet? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ https://t.co/xlbpnWRo26
