if you take the AI argument that goes "wah wah everyone should be able to do art! people who are naturally gifted are just pissed that AI is enabling me, who wasn't born so lucky, to be just as good as them" and replace 'art' with 'getting laid' you get the incel mindset word for word

Execs are trying to muddy the waters around Gen-AI as a ‘push against all AI’ because they hear the unified dissent and they want to crush it via division. Don’t let them. Say it louder. Every time you see a statement like this, push back harder. Let them know you see them exactly for who they are.
"Surely there's a middle ground here?" The CEO of Helldivers 2 studio Arrowhead says people "jump to extreme takes" when debating generative AI, and that there needs to be more nuance in the discussion.

I've been really liking Tower Dungeon so far – intriguing worldbuilding and long periods of slow travel/prep, interspersed with sudden flashes of intense violence. Not 'loving' bc a majority of that violence seems to target women, and there's a strange amount of gratuitous (but not erotic?) nudity

When I feel hopeless about the current era, sometimes I remember how Egyptians in the time of Cleopatra were themselves archeologists of early Ancient Egypt. The Byzantine Empire lasted more than a thousand years. The ebb and flow of civilization is unfathomable. The future may yet be bright.

I can say with complete certainty that you will lose nothing by just ignoring The Game Awards. You do not need to give it any cultural power. It is purely a vehicle for marketing, and an ongoing insult to the people and craft we all take part in.

Bonfire, maybe the open web initiative I'm most hyped about, just launched their public platform and crowdfunding campaign! Take a look if you believe community-led federated social networks can be better than what we have now bonfirenetworks.org

Does anyone have advice on basic investment strategies (for retirement accounts and the like, nothing fancy) to avoid too much exposure if—when—the AI bubble bursts, while also staying clear of supposedly safer but unethical options like fossil fuels and so on? (I live in Canada.)
