Part of my frustration with ginned-up cross-generational conflict is Boomers being groomed by their media to insist their progeny are Just Lazy, when in reality Xers and Millennials, quite literally, work harder and produce more, faster, than Boomers EVER did.

This is a lie, and it's a lie they've been telling since the 1950s. They push the story that technology will give the white-collar populace 4 or even 3-day work weeks, but that never materializes. 5-day work weeks with exponentially greater output expectations does.

I've just learned that Freeplay has removed me as a sponsor for Parallels due to an accusation from a speaker that I am a "zionist". Where did the speaker get this idea? Because Unpacking was included in a listicle in an online Jewish publication a few days ago. I didn't even know about the article.

No one bothered to check whether the accusation was true. The first I heard of any of this was this morning, when Freeplay told me they were refunding my donation and removing me as a sponsor because my mere name being listed "has created an untenable environment" for their speakers. I was stunned.

TL;DR: I put three Jewish items in my game five years ago so it made it into a listicle on a Jewish Australian publication. That was enough to make a speaker accuse me of being "zionist", which in turn was enough for Freeplay to remove me as a sponsor, literally on the day of the event.

I've always loved Parallels, I've even participated in it myself and showed Unpacking there way back in 2018. But I don't think I'll ever be able to support it or Freeplay again. I know at least one Freeplay board member has quit the board over this, too. This is discrimination, pure and simple.

This is exactly why the president is trying to rebrand AI. Because he knows if the Ai bubble burst before the midterms, the economy will tank, and will surely lose. What if told you that if we stopped using ChatGPT, open Ai, or any Ai this month this administration would end. Would you stop?

This was on me, I should have found it, but it sucks that before I cover goofy videos I now have to run searches across Google, specific Discords, and social not just for "genAI" but also "Claude" "vibe code" and 10 other things, because there's no centralized place for this stuff to be disclosed.

I'm sharing this as a mea culpa, because it turns out this game was coded with Claude, a fact that is reasonably difficult to track down for a piece that was intended as nothing more than a quick, fun "hey look at this" kind of thing.

The event will feature a one-on-one conversation with Tim Pool followed by a live student Q&A. To create a dynamic and balanced dialogue, we are specifically seeking a featured guest to represent a left-leaning perspective.
Timcast Media will fully cover and arrange all travel and accommodations.
Thank you in advance for your consideration.

Hi Lisa,
Sorry, I'll be too busy slamming my hand in a car door that day to talk with Tim. Hope you understand.
Kat
