The two greatest evils known to mankind, A.I. and the person directly in front of you in line at the post office, have finally teamed up. We’re done.
Woman in line in front of me at the post office is not happy about the cost of shipping. She just whipped out her phone, asked ChatGPT how much it thinks the shipping should cost, and is trying to get the mailman to honor that price.

There’s a thing in games where people want skill to matter in a very specific way - they want it to be possible for them to beat better player, but impossible for a less good player to beat them.

I feel like the same folks can only imagine a past where they are as well or better off than they are.
The thing to understand - which the people peddling these fantasies often don't - is that the desire here isn't the 'past,' but being an aristocrat in a tightly controlled, authoritarian society.

They imagine a narrow hierarchy where they are, by dint of birth, at the top.

Dreams of feudalism.
Quick question: Are people insane?

Go fuck yourselves.

I, Talia Bhatt, have never touched a doctor-prescribed hormone, because the particularities of my circumstances and the hostility of the regimes I suffered under made it impossible. My community saved me.

Do not abandon your sisters, you fucking cowards.

Yeah this is conversion therapy abuse for autistic kids.

The director says the camp is about “70 percent boys, 30 percent girls, from ages 13 to 17. Most of the boys are gamers. Most of the girls are addicted to social media.”

The campers are “socially stunted”: eye contact and full sentences are hard for them.

scrolling down the massive unfinished rules document, finding a section on "philosophy of enforcement" and realizing I left it with one bulletpoint 3 years ago that just says "Society is"

But to me, it's absolutely true that various historical trajectories have made straight American men uncomfortable with openly sharing an interest in dress or interior decor, if they develop such an interest at all. It's not that gay men have a knack for these things; straight men just shun them.

For a while, it was believed that women and gay men are born with a natural sense for aesthetics. In reality, straight men, particularly American male Protestants, have simply barred themselves from taking an interest in aesthetics because they think this makes them noble.

Visa and Mastercard have killed more art than every studio combined and most people don't even know about it
Valve just updated their Steam rules to ban content that “may violate rules set by payment processors or banks.” Sounds boring. It’s not. It’s the quiet normalization of financial censorship and it’s going to hurt LGBTQ+ games and devs

Organizing RPG PDFs is a lot like sorting Lego. There are a ton of different ways to do it and they all eventually become wrong.

A Borges story about a guy who gets AI to summarize all the world’s information for him, and then summarize the summary, until the AI has the whole world summarized into a single word. He sits alone at his desk, staring at the word, repeating it endlessly, certain he is experiencing everything

To be honest, I haven’t trusted Stephen Colbert ever since he conveniently abandoned all his right wing views as soon as he got hired to host a network talk show

AI evangelists are archetypal "Ideas Guys". The ones who are convinced they've come up with the best movie/comic/game concept ever, but just need actual talented people to make it for them. The inevitable lack of interest from creatives is, in their mind, the reason they've never succeeded.
The level of hatred these AI bros have for creative people I just do not understand

When I read people say PDF versions of TTRPGs should be free or only $5 because "you don't have to pay for paper or ink, so there's no cost," what they are saying is, they don't think they should have to compensate writers, artists, layout people, graphic designers, etc for their work.

I feel like Musk and GenAi are permanently entangled, since both are reportedly geniuses about topics I don’t know much about but mysteriously get much stupider when they talk about things I have even passing knowledge of.

It's true that progressives valorize "ugliness." But I think this person doesn't interrogate this position enough and thus lands at the wrong conclusion.

Let me give you my perspective on ugliness. 🧵

I will be very clear once again because this is a social media platform:

I'm not saying your support as a fellow creator isn't important. I'm saying we can't keep passing the same $20 around and expect it to feed everyone.

Assuming you're not intentionally a transphobe, please just ditch Harry Potter. There's plenty of much, MUCH better-written fantasy made by authors who aren't absolute shit.

And if you ARE intentionally a transphobe, kindly either fuck off or educate yourself, whichever you're capable of.
