Because most of the biggest thefts and disasters thus far have been human error which must be eliminated in favour of AI, which is capable of much funnier error

what if, due to AI, in a couple of years the only people who have jobs are podcasters? that brings us to the obvious question: how are the rest of you going to get the money to pay for my podcasts? that's something you all need to be thinking about because i will not change my lifestyle.
I understand why people are exhausted by AI hype, and why those of us squarely in the corner of "human dignity uber alles" see AI doomerism as self-serving hype, but I *really* think people on the left broadly need to start thinking seriously about the possibiltiy of the hype being...true.

no, because it can't maintain the systems it creates.
it just creates wholly new systems.

if you played sonic the hedgehog and put down the controller, sonic would look at you and tap his foot impatiently. this was proof that sega genesis cartridges had souls. the decision was made to make the storage cases a lot larger than the cartridges so they would have room to move around in there

The pixel art in the first two wing commander games is pristine.
Worth getting this mod through to fix A LOT OF ISSUES alltinker.itch.io/wcat even then some bugs.

We published a paper a couple years ago now that shows that, at all levels of gambling engagement, the simple split between people who gamble on sports and those who do not gamble on sports reveals that those that gamble on sports are at a dramatically higher risk for problems
In the future we're gonna look back at online gambling and prediction markets in the same way we look now at cigarettes on airplanes and lead-based paint
