ppl are way too obsessed with individualism and then become overly nihilistic when they find out just how insignificant they are in the grand scheme of things like yeah man maybe that should encourage you to be more cooperative and empathetic in solving problems

Capitalism is incredible. Sorry, former teacher, your retirement fund is gone because 5 guys who've collectively never worked a full hour told the banks to put all the money in the country into virtual girlfriend futures
WSJ: “.. If the AI market blows up, the blast radius would be wide, hitting not only Wall Street firms, but also pensions, mutual and exchange-traded funds and individual investors, because of how debt is often sliced and resold across the financial landscape.”

I'm so, SO tired of having to scrutinize any piece of art that even remotely resembles genAI slop just to determine whether or not it's worth a second thought or any admiration.

Why am I so against generative AI in games?
Because I simply do not want my initial reaction to art to be one of suspicion and scrutiny, AI slop is fundamentally damaging my relationship to art and artistry, and I am deeply resentful that it is forcing me to be guarded when I should be wowed.

some say youtube videos are not an art form but i think art is often just seeing something that speaks to the human experience. and nowhere is it more visible than a 40 minute video of a guy trying to do a weird project in his niche hobby and minutes 5-35 are yelling GOD DAMN IT as it doesnt work

I guess "modern American masculinity is a neotenous emotional state where the culture permits, and even cultivates, juvenile developmental qualities into adulthood" is just a fancy way of saying "everyone is twelve now"
Border Patrol chief Greg Bovino "also revered Starship Troopers, Robert Heinlein's 1959 military sci-fi classic about an interstellar war between humans and alien bugs - a book his sister says he still reads to this day."
An endless amount of deranged details in this interview with Greg Bovino's sister, but most notably that his uncle produced the Jack Nicholson movie The Border and the depiction of the agent as corrupt radicalized him as a 12-yr-old.
"Since then, he was like, 'Dude, I want to do Border Patrol.'"
