Problem: AI needs massive amounts of power to thrive. Nuclear makes lots of power. Nuclear takes a long long time to do safely.
Proposed solution that I'm sure will have no unpleasant consequences: Use AI to speed up the construction of new nuclear plants.

a Nintendo source told me the Metroid Prime 4 sidekick everyone hates is a holdover from Bandai Namco's work on the game. Retro tried to take him out but every time they touched his code or assets the whole engine fell apart. Apparently he's spreading to other games, too. He'll be in the new Mario.

bluesky management is obviously bad but saying you were “disappeared” when they banned you feels a tad melodramatic

look within yourself and ask why you're so surprised
Something that’s so striking in these emails is how…unimpressive Epstein is. He comes off as a pompous, sub-literate lech. Yes everyone is so mortifyingly solicitous of him! All fawning and flattery! Why?????

what most disturbs me about jd vance is how empty he is. he's a featureless clay doll. he's a human-shaped black hole driven by mindless hunger. it's probably why his mom turned to heroin. she knew. how many nights did she stand over his bed as he slept with a pillow in her hands.

Hey so, today is my last day at Crystal Dynamics apparently. I joined the company in 2018 to work on Marvel's Avengers and it's been the longest (and best) job I've ever had. It now means I'm looking for work, so if you know of any senior writer/narrative designer positions please send them my way.

so what you're telling me is you sat on publishable info about trump and epstein
As a former member of NYT’s finance team & the co-author of this story exposing the relationship between Epstein & Bill Gates as well as one on Epstein & JPMorgan, I am really frustrated to see people claiming that NYT sat on publishable info about Trump and Epstein 🧵 www.nytimes.com/2019/10/12/b...

maybe because it's a fucking game console. it does what it's supposed to do. how exactly do you want people to react to it.
Whenever I chat to anyone about the PS5's life so far, am I typically met with a waft of lukewarm praise or shrug of plain ambivalence? Why hasn't it captivated people - at least me - in the way the PS4 did? https://bit.ly/3LCEQZu
