Further reasons why I'm not coming back to the US for the foreseeable future. No, I'm not in any of those countries, but do you really think they'll stop there?

AI automation =/= AI generation. the scripts to automatically transcribe voice to text or whether your party character prioritizes Attack or Defense isn't the same as algorithms generating randomized results out of an amalgamation of existing data. conflating them is intentionally misleading.

Waiting to see Yoko Shimomura in concert tonight and the only pic I can share is from the website because the theater doesn't even have a poster or a banner saying who's playing tonight. It's nice to see how much they appreciate their acts. 🤦

The future is building a humanoid robot at great cost to replace hiring a guy to hand out water bottles, then hiring a guy to remote control the robot handing out water bottles.

I'm so glad that we didn't have social media when I was an Internet youngster. Most of my worst moments are lost to time, or only exist as saved IRC logs in someone's forgotten ZIP drives, which is kind of the same thing.
if 'was a teenager that fucked up on the internet' is all it takes for you to get burned at the stake then I have bad news for literally everyone on the internet.

We're half a decade into studies finding that improving airflow in classrooms will reduce disease transmission enormously, and that bleaching surfaces etc. does very little. And yet nothing changes. Waves of flu and colds wash over schools, and the schools pretend it's an act of God.
