I wrote 3,000 words about Riverdale. Yes, this picture and quote are weird. I did that on purpose so you'd be forced to click the link and find out why I did this to you.

Lots of valid criticisms for Steam/Gabe but it's always really weird to see people treat them like the devil. On the evil scale of billion dollar gaming companies they're probably in the bottom quartile.

Very funny to compare this to the Valve hardware announcement video, and think back to the Amazon guy on LinkedIn who was like, “why can’t we compete with Valve??? It is a mystery!!!”

People are talking about the movie Christy bombing so I think it's worth bringing up that we just had two recent boxing biopics (Big George Foreman and The Fire Inside) and both did horribly at the box office. Maybe boxing biopics are automatically doomed. We'll see how that Mike Tyson one turns out

At risk of flogging a dead horse: this whole letter is a reminder that the creative process is an end in and of itself, and vital to self-actualisation. You can’t experience BECOMING, as he puts it, by outsourcing it to ChatGPT.
In 2006 a high school English teacher asked students to write to a famous author & ask for advice.
KURT VONNEGUT - born 103yrs ago today - was the only one to respond.
His reply was a doozy.

The thing with people saying that AI is inevitable is... look we have eyes.
I would really love someone to sit down and with a straight face explain why what's in this screenshot is so wonderful and revolutionary that all art the future will simply *have* to use it or else be left behind
