As a Christmas present, I posted about some fleeting visions of the Super Mario RPG sequel we never got and which eventually became Paper Mario.

(HT to @hamishsteele.bsky.social and his great @supermariomoment.bsky.social's Paper Mario ep!)

Great read about the landscape of GenAI discussion.

You need to have an understanding of what you hate.

Why is it bad? What are the material effects of it? How are devs using it? Why are they using it?

Then, you draw your own line in the sand. Use it as a guide. It helps me not lose my mind.
Weird weekend, huh? Took a crack at breaking down the whole Clair Obscur genAI situation, and its bizarre fallout, as best as possible. My main takeaway right now is that people really need to figure out exactly what they're criticizing or it's going to get messy. www.polygon.com/clair-obscur...

The anti-voter SAVE Act failed in Congress thanks to widespread opposition. Now, its proponents are pressuring the Election Assistance Commission to enact a similar “show-your-papers” requirement for voting. Will you speak out against this attack on the freedom to vote? bit.ly/4ngSyyl

Spotify’s founder, Daniel Ek, is another techno-fascist billionaire.

He’s invested in AI that specializes in war, surveillance and violence, so it’s no surprise he’s fine with running ICE ads on Spotify.

If you haven’t already, cancel your Spotify subscriptions. Let’s make them feel like Disney+.

With the money you save from cancelling, make sure to support public & independent media.

NPR have lost their Govt funding b/c Trump can't control what they say. This likewise impacts local radio & weather reports during emergencies.
