Randomly fired up Dragon Age Ultimate Edition and I had forgotten how that game featured way more fiddly character and tactical bits than the later ones. I can see why people feel dismayed at how the later games got stripped down even though I mostly appreciated the changes.

Wrapped up replaying the Mass Effect trilogy for the first time in 5 years and I had forgotten how much that ending kills all the narrative and gameplay momentum. I liked the exposition of the 1st game and those kinds of expository moments fit there, but by the 3rd it just sucks. /1

My College AI take is that its proposed use case is really about how upper management detests large swaths of their human employees and want them to be replaced and that's why we're getting AI for admissions and instructions but not coaching or administration.

My hotter take about Lane Kiffin is that he should absolutely chase the bag at bigger and richer schools without facing opprobrium. None of the donors, boosters, and administrators care; and with NIL and transfer portal, it's not like the players are confined the way they once were.
My tepid college football take is that Lane Kiffin is a good coach and probably would have looked more impressive if sanctions hadn't hit USC.

Honestly, an article on inexplicable and ritualistic violence is the perfect morning read for Thanksgiving. (More seriously, fascinating article).

This is unrelated to the Lizza revelations, but one of my minor takeaways from reading "Going Infinite" was that the psychiatrist SBF used and later employed should probably lose his license. Anyways, rich people are always seeing therapists and maybe we should stop that.
The most surprising claim is that any of these people have ever seen a therapist.

Between AI, Effective Altruism, and Crypto, it feels like a large swath of people thought Nozick's thought experiment on the utility monster was aspirational rather than cautionary.

A lot of people have been asking what music we should be listening to in between Halloween and Thanksgiving to fight off Christmas Creep and I think the answer, given today's anniversary, is the music of Gordon Lightfoot.

Further thoughts: I'm a little surprised at how credulous Michael Lewis is towards SBF's defense when the story Lewis tells is about a guy who takes a lot of risks, only focuses on his interests, plays loose with the rules, and has a record of losing a lot of money based on faulty reasoning.
Just finished "Going Infinite" and it's a good read. Pairs well with Zeke Faux's" Number Go Up." You can really tell Michael Lewis did not update any of his conceptions about SBF once the company went under and he went to jail.

I'm going to use this to pitch my pet solution to ideological balance in academia: only way to get more conservatives is to pay grad students, adjuncts, and professors better.
You get what you pay for! Not only does it fuel corruption, but even if they're not corrupt, you get people who are relatively more obsessed with the title and ego and power-tripping perks of the job because that's all they get for eating a massive pay cut compared to their other options.
