I hate that I've become a person who takes the social impact of bad video games seriously, but it seems to me that the ethos behind a bad game is the same as a bad tweet: lack of care or responsibility for what one has to say.

Happy Anita Bryant Humiliation Day

(1/3) It's been days and I'm still stuck on the people talking about "political violence". Deporting citizens for ideological views is political violence.

Generative AI is such a frustrating term to me because it is wrong on both counts. Generative implies creation, but the technology predicts what a user expects.

Money in any speculative market doesn't exist, or maybe more accurately isn't tangible, until it is cashed in. A non-existent thing can't be owned; you can't "lose money" in the stock market when line go down. You chose to lose money when you spent it on an abstract gambling chip.

"lost money in the stock market" whatever. Sorry the fantasy number in your head isn't as big as you want it to be.
