I once knew a Federal bank examiner, and one time someone asked him why we had to KEEP inspecting banks over and over. He basically said every new batch of business school grads invents bank fraud from first principles.

The underlying cause of every bubble - debt masquerading as financial innovation - depends on not just short financial memory & speculative neophytism, but reinventing jargon of finance, like how each generation of kids has new ways to say same things.

One of the last big changes we made to the game is how we handle dates. The UI was designed in Europe, the game director is in the US- Nobody could agree on what date format to use, so I unified the entire game on YY/MM/DD- That way nobody’s happy! Highly recommend using this format, feels powerful.

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 should put the fear into anyone who sells anything even vaguely NSFW on the internet.
