Love to watch the borderline-SF high tech of the 1970s on my junky and outdated 2020s machine. Tonight's film is Three Days of the Condor (1975)

It doesn't explain his relationship to the rest of the human race but a big part of RFK Jr.'s broader damage is clearly trying to find out if he can die. I guess if I had lived a life like his and was somehow still around drinking out of puddles at 72 I'd have some questions on that as well.

Important craft of writing thread
If you've ever read Alan Moore's essay WRITING FOR COMICS (1985), there's a bit in it where he talks about scene transitions and page turns and how they're the weakest points of the "magic spell" of comics, as in you can lose the flow and take the reader out of the story with that physical action.

you think you'll set up a dungeons and dragons game and it will be heroism and tearful story beats but 32 weeks in the group chat is called something like "hagfuckers" or "tits out for lolth" and you're in a blazing row with a player who will only roleplay as an ordinary horse

When AOL and Prodigy started taking off in the early 90s, our neighbor bought a bunch of cement slab and busted it up and sold it online as "Real Pieces of the Berlin Wall" and "Real Pieces of the Great Wall of China" and that guy realized what the internet was gonna be before everyone else

There’s one of these YOU ARE BEING RECORDED things in the parking lot of the grocery store where deodorant is behind locked glass and an armed security guard checks every receipt on the way out. People normalize our gradual dystopian shift, but if someone teleported in from 1990 they’d be horrified.
There's a corner house on our street where when you walk down the sidewalk on either side and a loud stentorian voice says HELLO! YOU ARE BEING RECORDED! It's very creepy in a neighborhood where children constantly walk around on sidewalks

If you want people to be 'reasonable' about a subject, I highly recommend not stealing from them, attempting to coerce them into using a mutilated mockery of their own stolen goods and then sniggering that this will ruin their livelihood.

there is absolutely no way that management laid off "most" of the devs that made a game two weeks after it came out, unless they were already planning to kill off the game before it launched
which means they maliciously lied to their own employees for months, if not years

This is true and I'll go further and say attempts by AI boosters to have a conversation are probably attempts to confuse what is true ("AI" is a top-to-bottom scam run by fascists and swindlers) with a fantasy or a nice little story about what could be. The conversation is part of the con.
One thing I find very frustrating about this convo is that it IS possible to build AI/LLM tech that is open, interoperable, pluralistic, publicly transparent, & less resource-intensive. Instead it's being specifically designed and funded by technocrats, turbofascists & drug-addled con men
There is still a strain of populist critical AI discourse that holds the technology is fundamentally worthless or fatally flawed. I think
Chris Hayes is at least right to call that a dead end.

What this tells me is I should be getting together every other weekend with friends to balance the books on a McDonald's franchise. We could do it in character or we could just focus on the stats and the random encounters.
When reading this article, consider the median average revenue of a single McDonald's location in 2021 was $3.3 million. There are four RPG companies in the world that bring in meaningfully more money than a single McDonald's. Lots of incredible companies bring in way less than a single McDonald's.
