The most precious commodity you have is your attention. You don’t have to waste it on poor-faith debates or arguments with strangers if you don’t think they’ll be productive. You can prioritize the things that matter to you and make your life richer.

“Some of these people trying to define the future of humanity, creativity or whatever it is, using AI, are not the most humane or creative people,” he said. “So they're sort of saying we're better at being human than you are. And it’s obviously not true."

Agora boa sorte tentando achar um filme antes dos anos 2000 em qualquer streaming. Não é achismo, é estatística

This is an odd situation, and genuinely one worth reading about if you actually Do care about games as art
Because is there challenging, troubling imagery in the game? Sure, yes
Is any of it like- porn or whatever? No. Not even remotely. But this is why rulings against porn media hurt everyone.

Why am I so against generative AI in games?
Because I simply do not want my initial reaction to art to be one of suspicion and scrutiny, AI slop is fundamentally damaging my relationship to art and artistry, and I am deeply resentful that it is forcing me to be guarded when I should be wowed.

This is one of the things I hate most about modern capitalism. The idea of making money has been fully peeled away from delivering any kind of goods or services that people would want to pay money for.

o problema da esquerda nunca foi estar “atrasada” em relação aos novos métodos de marketing político/comunicação digital
o real problema é tentar adotar esses métodos como se fossem neutros, ignorando que cada técnica de comunicação carrega uma ideologia própria embutida em sua forma e objetivos

Na The Atlantic, @cwarzel.bsky.social diz que @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social fez uma campanha como "antídoto à falta de vergonha". Não fez nada que dizem que "tem que fazer" pra fazer comunicação digital. Não usou slop. Não direitizou seu discurso. Não pisou em casca de banana por likes.
