Just your occasional reminder that Venezuela’s oil reserves are greater than Saudi Arabia’s, and nearly 4X those of the United States

Since I love procgen / high systemic story generator games, I decided to finally pick up Rim World. But I did not like it, which did not make any sense. So I spent a bunch of time trying to figure out why and made a little graph.

Despite what we are often told, this line from Mamdani’s inauguration speech is what true pragmatism actually looks like:
“Beginning today, we will govern expansively and audaciously. We may not always succeed. But never will we be accused of lacking the courage to try.”

the thing that strikes me about the Grok "apology" thing is that even those of us who are against "AI" as it is marketed to us have trouble not falling into the basic fallacy that they are trying to sell us, i.e. There's A Little Guy In There

Esto es mentira, que no os engañen. Un mes tardaron conmigo desde un diagnóstico inicial a tener todas las pruebas y estar operada. He tenido muy cerca dos casos de operación urgente y tardaron 5 días en uno de los casos y 4 horas en otro. Hay que defender a muerte lo que tenemos y mejorarlo

i do think so. It's just the nature of turning a passion-led occupation into a salary-based, alienating job position. You don't own anything you create really, decisions are made 3 or 4 degrees of people above you, and most of the times you don't understand where those come from.
when I first joined the industry, I was told by coworkers that it was refreshing to work with someone who wasn't jaded yet. I told them I hoped to never become that way.
I feel myself becoming a jaded game dev, after everything this industry has put me through. Is this just how we all end up?

In a way though, LLM adoption is the natural endpoint of decades of software UX design intended to deskill, demean, and disempower users. Almost no software people use daily has automation affordances or even decent UI customization options.
