It's so weird to me that people refer to console generations as a number instead of like "The ps2 generation" or "the NES generation" whatever the peak console was

Anthropic banning “abusive or cruel behavior” toward Claude in its new usage policies is proof to me that tech companies are going to moderate violence against AI before they ever moderate violence against women and minorities

Maybe not the main point here but it's ... interesting... that they're saying that remote school creates learning loss / loss of future GDP, but 80,000 more deaths (many of them likely the kids' relatives and teachers, killed by virus spread by kids) would have no impact whatsoever on those kids

I've been immersed in research on Reconstruction in Lousiana and it's a very difficult truth to absorb that the white terrorist movement in the South was among the most successful terrorist movements in global history. Took 10 years but it won a total & complete victory through murder and atrocity.

I gave Braid an A+ back in my press days. I spent 100s of hours working on The Witness at PlayStation, fighting for it, getting it into conferences, and being Jon's personal wrangler. I even coined "Metroidbrainia" after it. I will not be buying Order of the Sinking Star, and neither should you.

One of the knock-on benefits of Universal Basic income, would be that people would not need to waste time on forms, and could use that time for projects, growing vegetables and many many more things.
"Being poor is actually a full-time job & being 
broke is like a full-time job with the amount of 
paperwork and the time going from office to 
office proving what you have done.

With Universal Basic Income all that would 
be eliminated with the time liberated to do 
something socially productive."
