early-game caves of qud advice is "go north and look at the statue" and late-game caves of qud advice is "enter a precognitive vision before you cook with neutron flux" and that's why it's the game of all time

It's amazing to me that a whole bunch of neurodivergent people who tend to speak plainly get this particular label. As a person who had it once before and people rallied for it to be lifted for me, i find it exceptionally telling regarding the usefulness of AI in the face of human nonconformity.
@nora.zone was randomly labeled “Rude” which might be the most condescending content label anyone has ever put on anything

The AI bubble RAM crisis is caused for non-existent problems by non-existent money for a non-existent infrastructure to meet non-existent demand to make non-existent business and will utterly destroy real business based on real demand and real infrastructure built with real money for real problems.
I understand framing the AI bubble RAM supply crisis in terms of stuff like video game consoles because nerds can conceptualize that but the framing does really undersell the sheer magnitude of how it's going to fuck up everything that even touches a computer.

Mild social consequences for public buffoonery are good, actually. It’s people acting like they’re under full fucking siege when it happens that are the problem

Its Harris's 'I'll follow the law' thing again. Its a copout to anyone who knows what they're talking about, but it sounds good to folks who have absolute faith in the legal system.

Newsom in a nutshell. If you don’t think he’s anti-trans and actively hostile to the unhoused you’re literally just not paying attention to what he’s doing
You keep saying “all legal protections” with just zero critical thinking applied to what that phrase means and how those legal protections are constantly under attack

Ars Technica being so vocal about the dangers of AI and then embarrassing themselves by using AI should be a bigger deal, but they made a trite statement about “editorial standards” so everyone’s gonna let it go

If you never actually look into what Gavin Newsom does day to day I could maybe see how you’d not know why he sucks
But he’s a politician you want people to vote for so maybe you should be familiar with the things he does and then you won’t be confused like this

It definitely didn’t hurt that any time Dorsey posted people (correctly) made fun of him. Didn’t even make it more than a year on his own pet platform
Bluesky was literally meant to be a cryptobro social network for grifters, LinkedIn sludge, and libertarians who know way too much about age of consent laws.
Jack Dorsey *left* when instead of weird and off-putting cryptonerds, trans people started hanging out here.

I don’t know how anyone who works in tech doesn’t see that culture for what it is: an army of suckers desperately looking for literally any novel use case or minor advantage to justify the existence of a class of products because their entire industry pivoted to a scam overnight
