This week, I take on a tension I have been navigating for years, at the heart of communicating about the metacrisis: the hazards that arise from sharing true information with a global audience.

Today, in Part 5 of the “How to Think About the Future” series, I scale my exploration of civilizational futures down to the future of a single human life and analyze how the same patterns that shape economies, power, geopolitics, and Earth systems turn inward.

In today’s edition of "How to Think About the Future," I build upon the frameworks outlined in part three to create four distinct future worlds – composites that emerge from various combinations of economic conditions, geopolitical scenarios, power structures, and Earth systems stability.

As I've said many times, the absolute molten core of right-wing media is that Democrats are deranged, queer, socialist, anti-American traitors. That -- not anything positive about the Republican Party -- has been the basis of their communications strategy for 50+ years now. And it has worked!
We’ve seen robotics applied to chess many times and the projects always fall into one of two categories: a robot arm that picks up and moves pieces, or an under-table motion system that grabs pieces with magnets. But 3DPrintedLife took a different approach by making each chess piece a tiny robot!
Each and Every Chess Piece Is a Robot
Is this how Hans Niemann did it?

When learning shaders most tend to overcomplicate common practices like noise or color corrections. Here are 5 common noob mistakes:

Trump is very deliberately & visibly killing the US wind power industry. Nobody even seems to be putting up a fight. As far as I can tell, the ACP -- the utterly fucking useless, spineless, compromised clean-energy trade association -- is responding with sternly worded letters.

Subtle things to make your shaders better: 1) Anti-aliasing - Real life is not limited to pixels so unless you're specifically going for a pixelated style, you should be anti-aliasing everything! mini.gmshaders.com/p/antialiasing
This week’s Frankly is part two of the series How to Think About the Future. Today, Nate expands on the case for holding a distribution of possible futures rather than a single preferred one, and walks through a structured scenario-building exercise. www.thegreatsimplification.com/frankly-orig...

Extremely normal and fine for a company to put this in a public statement
elia ayoub@ayoub.bsky.social · 4mo agoPalantir put out the most cartoonishly evil statement possible. They’re so arrogant and self-confident they don’t seem to believe their fascistic plans can be opposed. We must get rid of Palantir altogether. twitter-thread.com/t/2045574398...
