If you took $1 billion and gave it to the endowment of a different small college each day, they could each provide a free college education to several hundred students per year in perpetuity. Instead we are using that money to bomb schools and kill students in Iran, for no clearly stated purpose.
Amazing story, thank you for sharing !

Une décision qui ne doit surprendre personne.
Quand on regarde les chiffres récents, passé l'effet nouveauté, les ventes de jeux PlayStation sur PC ont connu un déclin vertigineux.
Les jeux atteignent difficilement le million, Valve prend 20-30% et ça consolide Steam comme alternative à la PS5.
This is from one of the former Infinity Ward/Call of Duty co-founders:
Je profite de cette discussion sur le statut d’intermittent dans le jeu vidé pour vous rappeler l’existence des C.A.E (des SCOP de Freelance en gros) qui permettent de se salarier et de protéger ! C’est une alternative solide au freelance qui devrait être bien plus connue ! 👀

The forum was organised by the Atlantic Council, a think-tank where Anthony is a fellow in international security. He warned the crowd of the threat of "invasion" from within America's borders, most likely by an Islamic terrorist group, and illustrated the concept with a video that depicted, among other things, a US drone hacked by forces working from Iran and a massacre at a Las Vegas hotel. "We do all the things we can to essentially brainwash people into liking it before it actually comes out" Anthony's plea that policy-makers should learn from marketing and promotion in creative industries was linked to what he saw as a potential solution to the issue: stationing undercover US soldiers in schools, much like air marshalls on aeroplanes. "The public won't like it, they'll think it's a police state," he said, then added, "All of these are solvable problems." "I look at the US military and government, ironically, as having some of the very same problems as what the Call of Duty franchise has," Anthony continued. "We are both on top of our game. We are both the best in the world at what we do. We both have enemies who are trying to take us down at any possible opportunity. But the difference is, we know how to react to that."

Dave Anthony, réalisateur des deux premiers Black Ops, qui il y a deux ans mettait en vente sa maison pour 27 millions $, a travaillé comme consultant sur la sécurité après son départ de Treyarch. En 2014 il vendait ses capacités pour marketer l'armée des USA et "laver le cerveau" du public.
Ce texte de Lordon met pile le doigt sur ce que j'ai en tête : la prolétarisation des cadres, consultants, développeurs, liée à l'IA, pourrait, sous de multiples conditions, leur mettre le pied à l'étrier d'une lente conscience de classe.

Just read this article on the US & Israeli strikes on a school in Minab, Iran.
- At least 168 killed, including many girls aged 7-12.
- The school was bombed THREE times, not once.
- There were claims this was on an IRGC military base, but the base was closed 15 years ago.
This is a war crime.
"Our standing rule is: If one of us brings up using GenAI in any of our work, then it's safe to assume we've been assimilated by The Thing and should be burned alive by Kurt Russell," said a game design consultant in the US.
How to read this chart: the typical Belgian earns as much as the typical Californian but works about 24% less. Pretty smart move to calculate such data for the “bottom 95%” only. Worth exploring further.
