NEW SONA!

I still love bats with all my heart but I’ve been a bat for seven years now and I decided I wanted to change it up a little so uh here’s the new me! I am now a weird blue dog! You can still call me Kitty though!

(Thank you so much to @coyotemasquerade.bsky.social for the wonderful art!!)
Why create something new when you got it perfect the first time
math making a difference
I feel like a mirror would be more appropriate
(And fwiw I think Doctorow has his own issues around a reflexive fear of big government, although I respect him a lot as a writer and activist)
Genuine question - if the antitrust bros aren’t it, where does the political support for antitrust policy need to come from? I got into it mainly through Cory Doctorow’s writing on tech monopolies, but idk if he has a big audience outside of the small open source tech scene.
Also why “stock”. Like even if you’re claiming to be a Real American that’s an incredibly demeaning way to describe yourself. Do these people have any self respect (this is a rhetorical question).
So uh this guy’s example of an eternal unchanging ethnostate is a country that didn’t exist in 1850
Love the portrait with the exact same face hahahaha

In terms of western AAA dev the only game I know that kinda made this work is Star Citizen and the “work” part of that is pretty dubious
Or you can go with the mobile game gacha model where a small subset of insane whales subsidize everyone else getting constant content updates for free
Getting dumped by your LLM girlfriend
Call that machine spurning
Nice! Sounds like a fun job :)
Obviously not great that LLMs seemed to have clearly fueled this guy’s detachment from reality but as clearly wrong crank ideas go this one is at least pretty cool. I’d read a sci fi based on this.
Wait I literally saw this in person yesterday
Bi Culture (arguing with my mom over whether Viggo Mortensen is still hot)
Beautiful! Where’s this?
My jaw dropped out of my skull - I could see admin wanting to cut humanities but nuking STEM as well???? It’s so awful.
