the free screen news in public transport are a great median for political temperature: in berlin, these news are currently occupied with increasing military spending, potentially making joining the army mandatory again, condemning „leftist extremists“, and scolding „social scammers“; not good

noone asked, but my favourite video games at this point in time are

- Skyrim (2011)
- Darksouls (2011)
- Baldur’s Gate 1 (1998)

all of them were released well before AlphaGo defeated a human and tossed humanity into a self-worth fit (2015) - coincidence? this is a dumb post

related phenomenon:
-AI becoming the "new definitive source" of information, over and above the data it's hoovering into its models, and purporting to replace the need for that data altogether with synthetically-produced input
out of many many reasons why we're here, one is how the stock market sustains the illusion that money is made from nothing (often through scams and pyramid schemes), and now its true believers feel entitled to kill off any more legitimate, but less impressive (bc less fake) development generators
These aren’t totally hypothetical questions. Currently, the US is in the process of trashing its wildly successful science funding system. NIH, which funds tens of billions of dollars of research each year, has been estimated to generate around $2.50 of economic activity for every $1 funded:
