Not to be a wide-eyed naïf about such things but... am I right in thinking that they levelled an entire building to get to one guy and that is not controversial to anyone in the American media or political class, only that this information was recklessly shared in an unsecured chat?

The thing about so-called generative artificial intelligence is, the intelligence isn't artificial. It's real. It's OURS. The techbros stole our intelligence (our data, our thoughts, our stories, our art) and used the software to regurgitate it and spackle it together into digital particleboard.

There are going to be, I believe, a cascade of economic issues this summer related to the tourist industry. Fewer people will come here to travel. Fewer people will come here to work within the industry.

As gaming convention season approaches more and more I'm seeing non-US designers, publishers, artists etc choose not to fly to the US for cons like Gen Con or GDC. The reasons are obvious, given how so many international visitors are being grabbed by ICE or held by border security.

@schumer.senate.gov If you vote for cloture you are a stain on this country’s history that will never go away. You are willingly passing power to a tyrant in waiting, and you are a disgrace to every oath of office any senator has ever sworn. Your legacy will be one of cowardice and contempt.

The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.

Creating a big tent is fine, great even. But that tent has to have a pole, a backbone, a set of values it believes in and policies it supports, otherwise it simply caves in and is no kind of shelter, gathering place or party at all.

Unconfirmed but federal sources telling me that everyone at 18F, the digital services agency in GSA singled out by Musk and right wing activists for having openly inclusive policies and employing LGBTQ workers and people of color, has been given an RIF layoff notice as of midnight EST. Awful.

One annoying thing about the "run the government like a business" guys is that they also are terrible at running businesses. I run my podcast "like a business" in the sense that things are made to a high quality and shipped on time, but it seems their only version of "good business" is "layoffs"

Nearly everyone I know in games is plotting their backup career. Not because they don’t love what they do, but how many times can you get axed before you get sick of it? Creatives could be spending that time improving their skills + pitching cool things, but no. The brain drain is gonna be real
