every time i see some new attempt to Streamline and Optimize our Lives i think about this kurt vonnegut quote that does rounds. we're dancing animals! not everything needs to be optimized! sometimes a tedious task creates an unlikely opportunity to learn something about yourself! or for joy!!
KURT VONNEGUT: Oh, she says well, you're not a poor man. You know, why don't you go online and buy a hundred envelopes and put them in the closet? And so I pretend not to hear her. And go out to get an envelope because I'm going to have a hell of a good time in the process of buying one envelope.

I meet a lot of people. And, see some great looking babes. And a fire engine goes by. And I give them the thumbs up. And, and ask a woman what kind of dog that is. And, and I don't know…

And, of course, the computers will do us out of that. And, what the computer people don't realize, or they don't care, is we're dancing animals. You know, we love to move around. And, we're not supposed to dance at all anymore.

PANEL 2: DUCK: "And yeah okay boo-hoo I still have a job--but I'm feeling more and more all the time that I've spent my labor to forward something INSIDIOUS."

PANEL 3: CAT: "If there's no ethical CONSUMPTION under capitalism--well--what chance do you think ethical PRODUCTION had?"

PANEL 4: DUCK: "Smart enough to solve problems with computer. Too stupid to understand the problems were all bait."

Making a game is essentially reinforcement training and when you reward a player by reacting to their behaviour you teach them to do that thing more often. What do you WANT the player to do more often? What should they see as exciting ground for experimentation and what is background noise

Panera’s moderately caffeinated lemonade was loosely associated with 2 deaths before it was taken off market. This article alone has 4 examples of ChatGPT encouraging young people to commit suicide, and OpenAI’s own public stats estimate over a million users discuss suicide with ChatGPT each week.

In the audience tonight is Charlotte Bennett, one of the 13 women that Andrew Cuomo is credibly alleged to have sexually harassed while they worked in his government. She can't speak for herself because Cuomo's lawyers have hounded her. So I confronted him.
