I mostly skeet about games. Lately 40k, Necromunda ('95), Magic, StarCraft 2, PUBG. Sometimes politics. Keep punching Nazis he/they pfp by @natesnutsvt.bsky.social

And to my last point, if y’all don’t remember trying to eat at a restaurant where half the patrons were smoking, I have to tell you it was not great. Walking into a NJ diner nowadays and not getting hit with that is a real win.

"A.i." makes money for billionaires and gives c-suite incompetents and private equity goons an excuse to fire people. It doesn't actually help anyone else - it just obligates people to work faster and do a sloppier, shittier, more dehumanizing job.

"A.i." is bullshit. "A.i." detection tools are bullshit. "A.i." in education is bullshit. "A.i." in the arts is bullshit. "A.i." in business and government is bullshit.

I hate the fact that life has turned into an endless series of single-use kitchen gadgets. Want to go to a theme park? Better install their proprietary app. Want to go to another theme park owned by the same company? That will be another app.

The “best” thing about genAI (the quotes are doing heavy work here) is that it’s really lowered the bar on getting into hand-made art. Literally anything you make is better than ai. There’s never been a better time to throw away your fear and start learning that craft you’ve always wanted to learn.
