The thing about the “no, you don’t understand AI could be used for good people” is that they're constantly yelling at the people pointing out the harm happening now, and I don’t see a ton being done to make this hypothetical good come to fruition.

Tried Opus Prism Peak in between other chores for a little bit this morning. It's too early to say if I'll like it as much or more than Echo of Starsong, but it is off to a *strong* start. I'm hyped to play more!

@anildash.com I just finished reading your blog post here: www.anildash.com/2026/06/15/i.... I also read the linked One Good AI post. I liked what you had to say, it overlaps a lot with my experience and thoughts, and wanted to leave a quick note saying as much. Have a great weekend!

I agree and this underscores one of my less popular beliefs: we should talk about politics more. I'm not saying it will immediately solve all of our issues, but it would at least put the far right held narrative in contention.

I was told you couldn't do 3D on the Playdate, so I did it. Then I was told there was no way I could create exterior levels like those in Mirror's Edge, so I proved them wrong again.

A man says "if I die please do NOT clear my search history" to another man. He leans in with greater intensity and says "I want people to know what I was into." The other man asks "is it... bad?" The first man, with an expression of aggressive dread, makes a fist and says "no, it is baffling."

When you say "no one knew" with regard to tech, what that almost. always means is "I wasn't listening."

Microsoft should exit the gaming industry and preferably my plane of existence. If BDS was not enough to convince sideliners, what MS did to id is unforgivable. Perhaps the most important western gaming studio in existence - a historied house of culture and art with genre defining talent.

Starting a little project, as a treat. I'm pretty sure I was very close to beating this as a kid, but since I was a kid I never could keep track of my paper map and ended up tracking the whole map in my head. That went about as well as you might imagine.

I'll summarize this: Mamdani asked NYers to keep air conditioning at 78 degrees. A wave criticism hit online. A MSNBC broadcast pointed out the US Department of Energy recommends that 78 degree figure. Immediately after, the US Department of Energy deleted 6,000 web pages related to energy saving.
