Amidst the situation in the Vatican, I do keep thinking about how Pope Francis’ opinion on AI is significantly better than I might have expected, and also better than a number of other opinions out there (including those who are more technologically aware).

To keep working professionally, you need to be really good at writing. Pure, moment-to-moment writing. Seems obvious, but I see so many people trying to make it on their ability to pitch, their great ideas, or who they know. Which are all great! But not enough: the magic is in execution

Flashbacks to the stats in BG3 Early Access where almost every single player pursued at least one romance. People may not ADMIT to wanting sex and romance in games, but their behavior says otherwise, basically every time.

A little Telltale inside baseball, on MCSM s2 one of the best ways to make a choice difficult was by making Petra want one choice, and another friend want the other. People care about relationships! Romantic or otherwise.

I once worked on a visual novel game where all the surveys and focus groups said that nobody wanted romance, they only wanted mystery and sci-fi. Then 75+% of clicks in-game went to stories with explicit romantic or sexy themes. www.pcgamer.com/gaming-indus...

If you’re not trans and you believe believe yourself to be a progressive ally type of person I highly recommend you read up on a prison practice called “v-coding” because with any luck it will make you physically ill and shock you to the point of action

I have no words to express what it meant to me to spend 6+ hours with this beauty yesterday. Being able to hold, handle & analyze it up close has made my historian heart sing for months to come ❤️ So much so, it’s made me consider becoming a curator/conservator. #HistSci #HistTech #EarlyModern 🏛️ 🗃️

two things: 1) the data collection for this org is mostly researchers from the academia world targeting cohorts mostly within academia, with emphasis on "we will pay you $100ish & a meal to talk to an academic in a group room". not a great place to talk about sex, let alone any personal motivators

There is value in reading classic literature even if you find some concepts or words to be offensive, or if the author was a terrible person by modern standards. The popular idea found in popular books that reading bad things by bad writers makes bad people is unsupported by reality.

The entire business model of American R1 universities is not viable without restoration of federal funding, & every individual institution pretending it can solve this problem alone is also not viable. University presidents need to be speaking out, collectively & loudly about this, in DC, right now.

It is both breaking my heart and making me incandescently angry that one of the few silver linings of covid is the rapid progression of mRNA vaccine treatments for cancers - right as the GOP has declared all out War both on science as a whole and on mRNA vaccines specifically.
