Man we were losing to IEDs and dudes in pickup trucks as far back as the 2000s. Our military was being driven out of nations by guerilla warfare in the 70s. We have been wasting money on the military for as long as I've been alive, because we cannot fight asymmetrical conflicts. We tend to lose.

This is a trap a lot of fantasy medias fall into, that factions have to be some weird fucking ethnostate bullshits filled with your usual fantasy races and then just call it a day. In most case, this will suffice as the setting is only used for the heroes to journey through and not much else.

Again: AI is a technology but it's also an ideology; that ideology is Bossism; neither bosses nor AI advocates really understand what most people do in their jobs so both assume AI can do it. They're *trying* but if these tools could replace jobs beyond Junior Software Developer, we'd know.

people like my parents or people back home often ask me if the reason why the industry is being killed in slow motion is due to AI, and it's a 15 minute long conversation to understand the real reasons why, at the heart of which are: people who own TV don't make TV and don't want to make TV

A great deal happened today. But nothing more important than this. SCOTUS allows Trump Administration to continue sending detained migrants to third countries with which the migrants have no prior connection. Just appalling.

A football player says "glad you're here in the USA for football season, Junji Ito. Let me show you how to throw a perfect spiral." The football plater throws the ball. Ito is mesmerized. Spirals appear in his eyes and he sweats profusely. We zoom in on his face in an extreme closeup as the intensity of his terror increases.

I’ve seen people define antisemitism as “anybody who believes in what’s going on in the Middle East is wrong” Another reason why I’m going to hate Netanyahu for as long as I live. The genocidal maniac killed thousands of innocent people, and completely fucked over his own people in the process.

Here's the REAL news:
Nvidia also announced Monday that it will buy back an additional $150 billion worth of its shares, on top of an $85 billion share repurchase it already had underway. The company said this would be the largest single corporate share repurchase ever. Apple previously held the record with a $110 billion repurchase announced in 2024.

A Friendly Face
A digital illustration in the style of a woodcut. It depicts the upper half of humanoid figure whose “head” is a flattened organic shape. A serpentine creature delicately wraps around the figure’s arm and into an opening in their face. The figure handles the creature gently.

Everyone keeps reaching for the “too big to fail” button because it is fundamentally harder for them to imagine what happens if it’s too big to succeed. The unique conditions in play make a bailout impossible. This is also an ideological bubble to the point I think it creates a schism in society.

AI has lost the Mandate of Heaven I’m afraid. WSJ saying it’s a “when” the ai bubble bursts. SNL dabbing on their biggest names for being weird. FT says 50% of chips sold in 2026 and 2027 have nowhere to go. Hundreds of billions short on revenue for even 10% ROIC. A disaster.

Gaming was something beneath them, a waste of time, so their only offering was "Play to earn" because that's what would make games worthwhile to their hustle culture addled minds, and they didn't get why everyone hated their ideas. They fundamentally didn't understand the appeal of playing games.

This is excellent modern journalism. A century ago, a newspaper would publish a muckraking article. Then a pol could get quotes into the paper in response. That was slow turnaround. Now subjects of articles go on TV and social media to counterspin. And @propublica.org is rapidly responding. Great!

thinking about this again today, and not even in the context of procgen. The thing about systems design is that it's so easy to get excited about making little sandboxes for yourself that you forget the player needs insight into it, lest it simply appear the same as complete randomness.
