The eye exam is the perfect game design. That big E is a great tutorial that teaches you the basic mechanic. But it doesn't baby you and quickly gets hard as they introduce the small and blurry enemies.

Truly a strange feeling to have grown up with the internet being your refuge and cherished resource only to have it become utter shit and realize that maybe you don't need it and in fact can't use it the way you used to anymore

This is maddening because the unthinking machines don't think, cannot thing. You're not offloading your thinking you're playing madlibs with a see-and-say and you don't know it and *screaming*
What are we losing by offloading our thinking to A.I.?
Why Even Try if You Have A.I.?
As A.I. grows more powerful, we may be more and more tempted to give up in advance and let it figure out things for us. What will we lose as a result?

From now through November, we're gonna hear about how NYC is different and how we cannot think that what works here will work everywhere.
But this part absolutely will: Create an active (not reactive) vision for what the world could be. Motivate people to build that world together, with you. Win.

It is really really sinking in for me the degree to which LLMs are the ultimate expression of right wing anti-intellectualism. Its proponents are literally mocking the idea that anyone would ever want to learn anything, know anything, develop any actual skill, or have a thought of their own.

Reading this literally in the DMV is surreal
I wrote about my recent experience being pulled aside and questioned in the Detroit airport, my history of being "additionally screened" while traveling, getting my Global Entry, and how bureaucracy puts me in perilous contact with my inner fascist johnpaulbrammer.substack.com/p/low-risk-f...

Considering that his bosses are desperately caving to Trump, a brave speech by Pelley. And some important words. A very democratic message that carefully avoids being Democratic. We need more folks in civil society sounding like this.
