Star Wars is really the clearest example of what Bender in Futurama describes when he says “ My story's a lot like yours, only more interesting 'cause it involves robots.” If you make any videogame but it’s Star Wars it’s instantly twice as good. NBA2k? Yes. Disco Elysium? Yes. Animal Crossing? Yes.

I deeply loved chromehounds. Not really a mech head but the aspect of having a cycling war where you and your faction of real people could tip the scales felt so fun and engaging. Haven’t seen or played anything like it since

been shopping for a spotify alternative this week and this is grim stuff. its either volatile small guys who will be dead or bought out in 18 months or trying to decide which major tech platform you hate the least
Spotify is garbage on every count: Its treatment of artists, its ICE advertising, the CEO's investment in military AI, its leading role in the commodification and AI slopification of music, its terrible audio quality—you name it.
So I quit, and put together a complete guide to getting off Spotify:

There is a direct correlation between how fake your job is and how much value you see in AI
A study by Dayforce shows 87% of executives use AI for work, compared to 57% of managers and just 27% of employees.
I think this explains the massive disconnect we see in how CEOs talk about AI versus everyone else. It also raises the question of how useful it truly is for frontline work?

Execs are embracing AI more than their employees are, new research suggests
Research from HR software company Dayforce suggests that executives are leaning into AI far more than their employees.
