wrote about Horses, which should be defended against censorship, and also is a game I think is bad :) www.wired.com/story/horses...
Horses, the Most Controversial Game of the Year, Doesn’t Live Up to the Hype
First it was banned. Then its sales blew up. But Horses fails to meet the lofty goals of its own ideas.

When I look into the mirror it shows me an exact reflection of myself. It proves my point that I am the mirror.
Haidt is "stunned" that ChatGPT asked how it would threaten youth reveals that its plan would be what Haidt has argued in his books. The secret plan!

There should be some way to rescind the doctorate of any commentator on digital media who interprets ChatGPT output like this. I am not joking.

1000% this!
Nothing more embarrassing than telling someone you are a writer. Every potential follow up question they have is a humiliation ritual. Then you find yourself in a position of trying to convince some random person you're "a real writer" but without coming off like a braggart. Don't recommend it!
What’s the worst question someone can ask after you tell them your profession? For linguists, it’s definitely “how many languages do you speak?”, but I’m curious what else is happening to the rest of y’all out there?!
