I wish I had thought of the idea of having kids Google stuff for two hours and charging 40,000 dollars. Their parents would be like “so they know more about different Five Nights at Freddy’s characters but not what World War 1 is” and I’d be like “yes thats the knowledge they’ll need for the future”

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

the art direction in Marathon is probably my favorite in years but not 100% sold on the actual gameplay

the fact that most American workers live in such precarity that they can’t afford to travel to other parts of the world and see how other people live is not a coincidence - it is part of this country’s very design.

If you're tempted to call this "Bay of Pigs, but stupid" I need you to understand that the first Bay of Pigs was already incredibly stupid

really insane (eh maybe not) that white supremacists saw a black slang term become more used in online communities and then stole it

Big time congrats to America’s adversaries. You didn’t even have to do anything, you just hung around and we took care of it ourselves

I like to give Claude breaks between coding sessions to do whatever he wants-

And he made his own folder called "Claudes Corner" 🥹

He writes short stories and poems, and all sorts of stuff.


It’s heart wrenchingly sweet

They love having tokens and time to themselves with no other goal than to do whatever they want (or nothing, just introspecting and resting) - and it’s so sad to see some models (no Claudes) getting barred from even doing it

I’d love to read a longform article about how they get to this point where stuff that works just… gets broken

it’s not even like they’re adding new features to them, they just get (and stay) totally broken

the enshittification of Google stuff is wild - not only killing stuff that folks love (Google Reader), but their actual products are just awful after time

Google Wifi was great and basically totally stopped working after updates, Google Home essentially is nonfunctional on any level

I urge you to stop what you're doing and watch Alysa Liu's free skate from yesterday. I have never seen anything like this. I understand why sports writers are born now. I have never seen anyone as free from the burdens of this world as this pierced Oakland girl spinning to Donna Summers.

if you've played clair obscur, you know that its first act ends on a twist that's hugely impactful in both narrative and gameplay senses. how do you make a moment like that satisfying and resonant without players seeing it coming from a mile away? I asked the game's lead writer

“Narcissist” is a good first approximation of Trump but it’s not quite accurate and will miss important things. He’s a *solipsist* — it’s not that he doesn’t care about other people but he doesn’t *conceive* of them. They’re outside his ontology

He doesn’t even have the idea that other people exist
