Why do video games cost so much to make these days? A recent NYT article pinned bloated budgets on the graphical arms race, but that's only a small part of the equation. The real problem? Rampant mismanagement.

This week's column is a spicy one: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

The first omen of the singularity.

"Be a better woman through the power of AI" ... pls let that be satire ...
or how @hendrikkempt.bsky.social said: "Technological progress =\= moral progress" :)

OpenAI‘s o3 preview going well I see. Certainly worth the environmental and economic cost per prompt.

"In Deutschland gibt es gar keine Leistungsbereitschaft mehr."

Was für eine Oberschichtsarroganz aus Herrn Linnemann spricht, wenn er auf die arbeitende Bevölkerung eindrischt, auf Menschen, die für kleines Geld und bei miesen Bedingungen Alte und Kranke pflegen, Pakete ausfahren, Kinder erziehen.

Still finding it hard to comprehend the awfulness of what it going on in Israel right now. Cannot see any route from here with mutually acceptable outcomes. Heightened my sense that humans are capable of making problems that they can’t solve.
