@zackpolanski.bsky.social Just want to say, I think you’re smart and ethical and your values are aligned with mine. I will probably vote Green in the next General election and there’s a decent chance you could take my constituency.

This is hard...lol 😆😂

You are trapped with your sworn enemy. Neither of you ages or grows hungry, thirsty, or tired. Injuries and even death are temporary, no matter their severity. There is no escape, and you don't know if you'll ever be freed.
What do you do?

I've recently culled a lot of them due to some questionably ethical reporting, but The Fall Line and Someone Knows Something are current favorites. Buried Bones is also pretty decent if you like the conversation format and tackles more historical cold cases and mysteries.

Dangerous lunacy and intentional, even eager, ignorance. This dangerous crap would not be tolerated, let alone supported by a GOP which was ethical, moral, sane, and had any decent values.

Like Andrew Carnegie, who spent his younger years running everybody else out of business and breaking up unions, and then he felt bad about it so he gave his money away later on.
He could’ve just paid people decent wages and maintained other ethical business practices.

Hey, is Qobuz a decent streaming service in terms of payout to artists?
I know it's got the best rates but not sure if that's any good (the best of low pay could still be low pay, if you know what I mean)
(I don't do Spotify for ethical reasons)

I'm sure it could be ethical for other people but my dog is a mix of two hunting breeds and wants to kill any prey animals.
I also live in an one bedroom apartment and while the porch is a decent size it isn't big enough for a large enough cage anyway. 😞 plus all the predators in tx dont help

Most greed obsessed billionaires have not made their fortunes treating people fairly. Many use slave labor, over charge for their goods and services. They do not pay their share of taxes, consider themselves superior and many have arrogant privileged kids. Very few are decent ethical people .

Quoting this again because I think it's a decent write-up on the gulf between "ethical AI usage" and our current shitshow. If you have trouble vocalizing or developing your own ethos, this is a boil-down of my own personal comfort guidelines when I talk and think about what harmful AI is or isn't.
The stupid thing is, companies could still actually probably get me to play games made with AI right now! And I'll explain exactly what you could do for a fairly 'ethical' AI usage ethos for game development and why basically *any* usage of AI in game dev rn is unethical by comparison:
Long 🧵below.
Long 🧵below.
Reminder because it's gonna blow up even more that even a 'moderate' anti-AI stance can and should still very easily include "large-model AI use contributes to an ethical and ecological disaster and ain't no way in hell I'm gonna play that if you're admitting to it on its face"

My housing situation is not ideal for a variety of reasons. But it's decent, the rent is fair, and the landlord is ethical and kind. People close to me (homeowners) wonder why I don't move. Your friend's experience is precisely why I don't.
I hope things work out for your friend.
