This Tumblr post gave me a huge confidence boost:

Tumblr post that reads: kill the imposter syndrome in your head because not only is there someone out there doing it worse than you, they're also using chat gpt to do it

First session with the jacket went well, and one of our club leads lent me and another guy his steel feders, so my first steel spars are also done!

I mean for the Poles it's true enough! Even for South Americans it's not *that* crazy. Just not for, uh, Haitians. Or Egyptians. Or other Corsicans.

I think the killer argument against relying upon AI to write is the massive amount of thinking and concept-welding that goes on for me (and I assume most everyone else) during the *process* of writing something - it’s a cognitive process and I know I’d actively get stupider if I skipped it

I also just wonder if any of these people have ever really appreciated the value added in going through the experience of something like this. The fact that it changes you to engage with and puzzle over your own work, that you're not a content printer that just needs juicing to go faster.

This is why I always loved Uncharted. The setpieces plus the pulp tone are absolutely chef's kiss

One thing I’ll say for the last of us part 2 is that it’s story has gotten so much justified criticism that I think people ignore how good some of the actual gameplay sequences are. Very few companies do good set pieces like naughty dog, and they should make a FUN game to show that off

You can't just have your position visibly be "the electorate was wrong, actually" on everything, even if you think they were

(Altbough on specific things you can stick to your guns)

Judges who hold their positions for life, too, and have no apparent method for removal.

At least with the House of Lords it's uncontroversial for an elected government to pack it how they like

Please join my campaign for the British government to set up a department that would deal with issues around culture, media (and sport - why not?). And also to set up a specific regulator for broadcast media.

If a news organisation is making -200% margin after five years, it is not a commercial operation and should be assumed to have a different purpose.
