the problems caused by AI data centers are all downstream of previous policy failures that should've been fixed with or without AI entering the picture

Went to go see the reboot of ANACONDA. Honestly way better than I expected. Is it quality cinema? Nah. But it executed on its concept perfectly and was a fun action comedy romp. Jack Black and Paul Rudd are gems and have great chemistry.

my mom got a new dog that initially HATED Athena when we showed up her house yesterday and spent like 2 hours barking
but now they're already total friends, and it makes me so happy :)

there is merely one technology that's holding up the whole tech tree from making fully automated gay luxury space communism not just possible but the default and there's a high likelihood its manufacturable blueprint will be widely available before 2040

The thing about people saying that they would like to pay more money for fewer games that are shorter with worse graphics is that they are, by and large, lying. The ones who aren't have already been captured by Itch
Every studio is frantically looking to cut costs of output because most studios are very financially squeezed, and the likely alternatives to things like AI & other tool assistance is not "employ more people," it's probably "employ fewer & work them harder," or "don't make games."

one thing incredibly goofy to me is that people will often respond to my pro-tech takes with "this is why liberal arts education is important!!"
I was a philosophy major, creative writing minor, lmao

here's a hot for Bluesky take: a lot of tech-criticism is so bad and focused on a kind of stupid imagined STEM-humanities culture war that some companies have been able to build whole brands around being "evil tech bros 😈" making supervillain promises despite their shit being vaporware

People should embrace an abundance, post-scarcity mindset. We are on the cusp of having the tech to make it possible.
So much sociopolitical strife comes from competition over limited resources.
We short-circuit this by making enough that everyone can live well.

The post they are replying to was written on an MacBook Pro I upgraded to 64 GB of RAM specifically to be able to run 70B models
You can run Qwen3-Coder-30B on 32GB or RAM, and it's surprisingly capable at most coding tasks, even

I guess the way I phrased this left too much room for interpretation.
By "extreme," I'm not talking about quantity, I'm talking about distance from what looks plausibly natural and real, if that makes sense.

Gift shopping for loved ones can be demoralizing because it's oh, you love them? Name literally anything they would like.

Charlie himself already explored this concept before Eternal Sunshine with Adaptation (fucking fantastic movie everyone should watch)
So much weird bullshit scriptwriting advice online by people with 0 credits. This one big Tiktoker was ‘fixing’ Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind to be more ‘sellable’ because Charlie Kaufman doesn’t trim his action lines enough??
The only real rule is: do you have a unique voice like Kaufman?

Seeing this a surprising amount, programmers who write or enjoy writing seem much more amenable to LLMs than those who are just focused on the technical
