1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

The funny thing about the invention of the wheel is the guy who invented it died penniless. It wasn't until much much later that pennies were invented

I feel like I’m talking to a brick wall every time I try to convince someone not to rely on the bullshit machine for all their knowledge
There are basically only two positions in the debate about AI.
1. I’ve barely invested any time in learning how to use it effectively. AI sucks.
2. I’ve invested in learning how to use this tool. Holy cow, it’s transformational.
Position #1 has lower barriers to entry.

Dishonored has a bad opening I think.
Uses women and girls as props in a story where the motions are directed by men. Their kidnapping and death is used as motivation for the main character.
Tutorialization relies on a ton of text pop ups
Starts you off with zero player autonomy

If you think you know how a game was made because of an article/interview/documentary with the studio or execs...
You don't.
The bigger the studio, the more likely the truth has been distorted/sanitized.
If you want the truth, talk to devs. In private.

Found out I'm on an "AI haters" block list.
For the record: I don't hate AI. AI is dear and close to me. My background is in CogSci, and I *can* speak with nuance on the subject.
But in a time/place where that nuance overwhelmingly favors evil, I am withholding that nuance.

One of the most haunting aspects of Squid Game was that the contestants could leave at any point if they wanted to but volunteered to be tortured to death because they were so desperate for money.
