The Fermi Paradox is such a fundamentally unserious concept. "If you multiply these 20 variables together you get a wrong number and that's spooky" brother I can incorrectly estimate the number of piano tuners in the country but that's not something I'm going to label a fucking paradox

Geoff Keighley really is the perfect representative of the gaming industry:
-unreservedly self serving
-pretends to care about the people actually making the product
-loves to make performative gestures that ultimately go nowhere and help no one
-would almost certainly sell out to the saudis

This is the kinda shit you get when your brain‘s gotten cooked on twenty years of popular culture "AIs as an unnuanced coding for human slavery" productions.
You get men stalk people on LinkedIn to accuse them of being "pro-slavery".

Ok, I wasn’t going to out him because up until now he had not been antagonistic, but he outed himself so here’s the guy who searched for me on LinkedIn to pressure me to compromise my safety by meeting a strange man in person who has already compared my belief that AI is not conscious to “slavery.”
Jelena, your views are pro-slavery.

Standing offer if you'd ever like to discuss Ai ethics & how they exactly parallel current workers' rights & plights.

Sorry youtubers but I am not watching your 3 hour long video essays, especially if the title is some artsy reference that tells me nothing about what the video is actually about. If I see anything over 20 minutes you'd better have a real good reason.

This bit about a pulse laser weapon sounding like thunder includes the crash AND rumble of thunder, btw, for the same reason as in actual thunder
The air expands supersonically along the beam, making a series of sonic booms, which you are varying distances from and thus hear at different times
The air expands supersonically along the beam, making a series of sonic booms, which you are varying distances from and thus hear at different times
Also, the air ionized and thermally heated along the path of the beam would then rapidly expand, easily exceeding the speed of sound - leaving a low pressure area behind, which air rushes back into
This is the same dynamic that makes thunder sound like it does. So, uh, the laser sounds like thunder

This really sucks. I personally suspect they were just given a 10 year rights licence and that's expiring now, just a sad reality of our fucked up copyright system. BSG Deadlock is fantastic, if you don't have it, do get it while it's still around, it's 100% worth it.
Sorry to SpacedockPost on Sojourn, but just want to signal boost this unfortunate situation.
The game and DLCs are heavily discounted on GOG so grab em if you've ever wanted to.
Battlestar Galactica Deadlock was my first gig with a major sci-fi IP and a fond memory for me. Very sad outcome.

That's the thing with dopamine being tied to task initiation - there's a set of gears that won't - CAN'T - engage in my brain, but none of my problems are with analysis.
I can be fully aware of all the necessary steps, and stressing about starting, and just... not.

The racism is so fucking funny. Of course China, the single greatest industrial power on the planet that *makes all of the chips the entire AI industry uses* can't compete with *checks notes* a country that no longer makes electronics except via a subsidiary of a Taiwanese company

Hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers are prepared to bolt from the Big Apple if socialist candidate Zohran Mamdani wins Tuesday's mayoral race — potentially setting the stage for the largest population flight in US history, a new poll warns.

We can always dream that this translates into more funding for NIF and Z? But probably not because Trump has the attention span of a goldfish
“Testing plans for US nuclear weapons won’t include explosions, energy secretary says.”
Oh, cool. So the same thing we’ve been doing since… *checks notes* … 1995.
