What’s really going on with AI and jobs?
Record-breaking layoff reports, Amazon's mass firings, and a slump in entry level employment. Is AI behind it all?

I was wondering why today was feeling like it is, and then remembered I’ve only slept for 7 of the last 72 hours. That proooobably explains it.

I need someone to convince me not to get the new Pokemon game. My brain is craving it even though I know logically I’d get the same enjoyment out of any of the ones I already own.

Back from AdobeMAX. Short-ish thread on my experience.
Caught the AdobeMAX Keynote.
Their products are soon gonna be nearly unusable with the amount of AI bloatware they're shoveling into them.

Frankenstein was amazing but also deserved to be another whole hour long. Also Guillermo del Toro should be allowed to do anything he wants.

My pipe dream if I ever somehow come into a lot of money is to buy the rights to Cortex so that people can use it to make games again. 🥲
Cortex is one of the most innovative RPGs ever written but the system has never been owned by a publisher who actually knew what to do with it. It's never grown into its full potential or sustained a long-term game line.
Everytime I can show people Leverage, or Smallville’s drama rules, or Cortex Prime anything, it blows their mind. We just gotta keep never shutting up about why they’re so cool.
