Is there any precedent for powerful people claiming that a nonsentient process has a personality behind it that only they and their fellow experts can understand and speak for and it knows everything and can do anything and wants to help and also it will destroy us if we dont give it what it wants

Culturally we let tech-as-counterculture be coded as a right wing thing but we gotta take it back. We all gotta start acting like the movie Hackers is real.

Re-upping our podcast from Friday—we talked about one angle that the game industry can adapt to the current contraction through better co-dev setups.
Peak and Escape The Backrooms are my two quick examples (but there are toxic case studies out there too).

The wonderful thing about Tyggers
Is Tyggers are burning bright
Their tops are made out of rubber
In the forest of the night
What bouncy, trouncy, flouncy, pouncy,
Immortal hand or eye
Did frame the most wonderful thing about Tyggers,
Their fearful symmetry!

If capitalism is the ultimate route to economic efficiency, then why is the US health care system so much worse and more expensive than the UK health care system?

As the industry looks to recover from years of layoffs, can a broader constellation of smaller studios working together continue to produce big-budget games?

Matt Goodwin’s fixation on “young girls’” bodies is particularly repulsive given his connections with far-right Epstein affiliate Steve Bannon. Why isn’t he being pressed on the nature of that relationship?

On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.
The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.
But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.
