Friends! Here is the first episode of a new podcast i'm hosting. I'm thinking of it as a way of trying to have more of the conversations I have w/ smart ppl about the internet/politics/broken attention economy in public. first guest is the great @hankgreen.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=A492...

I love #Hermitcraft. If you like #Minecraft, check it out. It's a group of artists and professional Youtubers who tell an emergent story. I honestly think it is the most innovative thing I have seen in storytelling. New session just started, good time to see if you like it. hermitcraft.com

#AI like #LLM and #GenAI make those who aren't very good at a task overestimate their initial skills. There's a link to the peer-reviewed paper in this report. I've had this conversation at work several times recently. Nice to see others are finding the same. techxplore.com/news/2025-10...

Today, on Halloween, The Chaosium officially turns 50 years old. 🧵 On October 31, 1975 our founder Greg Stafford went down to the Alameda County Clerk’s office and filed the paperwork to officially register the company...

My father, a child of the Great Depression, said, "They're called banks because you put food in when you have extra, so you can take it out when you don't."

The post from the Reagan Foundation is just complete gibberish. The ad did not, in fact, misrepresent Reagan's views. But the idea that anyone needs the Reagan Foundation's goddamn permission to use the publicly broadcast official remarks of a former president and/or edit them for brevity is crazy

Not trying to detract from Mr. Stafford's great legacy or Chaosium's tribute. I just think it's ironic my first blog post was about how I, in fact, never met Greg Stafford. For me, Stafford is the hero of modern #ttrpg, not the corporate folks from TSR. ruduswritings.blogspot.com/2024/12/star...

I just posted this graph on bluesky this week: I think it was very illuminating of the bubbly state of AI recently.
