"And so workplaces and society have become great at convincing us that the purpose of our lives is to work and to do anything less, or to work half-heartedly, is a dereliction of purpose and is that abhorrent."

America has long-since decided that corporate “freedom” is more important than protecting the planet and its citizens from the consequences of that freedom. “Let them cook” except “them” is “us” and “cook” is actually cook, but in the context of setting the planet on fire.

I wish I'd recorded my kids reacting to some of the trailers in the Nintendo Direct, specifically the new Zelda trailer. They absolutely popped their lids when they realized you *played* as Zelda instead of Link. Did anyone else's kids have interesting responses they feel like sharing? DMs are open.

I basically can't exercise after work, it feels like too much of a drag, so I feel this in my soul.

This post is so fucking good. If you read even one post talking about how overhyped "AI" is, make it this one.

Playing Persona 3 daily in sort-of real time alongside the Take Your Time podcast means I end up setting reminders for myself that are actually reminders for things to do in Persona

My one and only Silksong Take is that I legitimately hope it's been finished for at least two years, and everyone on the team is just coasting and living their best lives until the Hollow Knight money has mostly run out.

It's increasingly clear that the people who make generative AI don't like films, don't like books, don't like art of any kind, and don't understand why anyone else does.

It really is the smallest things that end up radicalizing me - I wish I had a backup of my pre-NG+ Elden Ring save so I could use that for the DLC - I don't have a backup because Sony won't let you copy PS5 saved games to USB, so my only save backup is on the (paid) PS Plus servers

Just another helpful that reminder that no matter how "liberally-biased" a for-profit company is (or is accused of being), the people in charge are almost certainly assholes who just want to make as much money as they can so that they can die with the most toys.

This image is from Ars Technica, but is *also* from Google's *own* "Ads & Commerce Blog", and I simply don't know how someone could put this together and think they were making their product better. It's a fucking *nightmare*.

Google built an “AI Answers” feature that literally just scrapes web pages which seem vaguely related and then rewords them slightly to disguise the source. That’s all it does. Plagiarism at scale, and with no understanding of the underlying applicability of the information. Worse than useless.

One of the toughest problems Microsoft has to solve is that Windows has to serve two very different types of users: business users who don't want this at all, and home users who don't want this at all.

This is awesome, not just because it will completely destroy traffic to the sites that generate the content that Microsoft is stealing, but because Microsoft can then remix that content into answers that are quite possibly wrong.
