From ISSUE NO. 10: "There was an underground doula network delivering babies at home, another delivering underground child care. The words “mutual aid” don’t cover it — it reminded me of reading about the Polish Home Army resistance during World War II." - Doran Schrantz

Listen I know things may be dire in the games industry but I think it could all be fixed. All we have to do is start making games that match up with my priorities and preferences, and also start funding studios headed by myself and people I like,

Do what you want but if you'd buy a book by someone who will use the royalties to hurt people, whose goal with writing is to justify and defend their own violence, who SAY they are doing that, people are allowed to think that's fucked up.

There’s only one elegant solution to this problem of increasingly stupid audiences, and that’s to mandate that every film ends with a closing rap song that lays out all the moral lessons of the movie. There will be a government office that reviews the songs for aural and pedagogical value.

But if you need the degree to get the job then you don’t care about the degree, you just care about having the degree, and if that’s all you care about then you’ll get it however it takes. The work done to make you good at the subject matter of the degree is, to you, just wasted time.

Remove the degree requirement from jobs and you also remove the push for AI use. Obviously there are exceptions; you can’t become a doctor without medical training, but that word “training” shows the issue. What “training” does a philosophy or biology degree give for a job in software sales?

Pulling this from Prof Riley’s excellent thread because it allows a bridge to my own theories of AI use by students. Students use AI because they don’t want their degree. By which I mean: the degree in itself isn’t the goal. The degree is a piece of paper they need for a future job.

one of the really gross aspects of the AI zombie resurrection thing we should (carefully!!!!!) discuss more is the fact that this is not what Val Kilmer looked like when he died. they don’t want the human Val Kilmer. they want a simulacrum of the idealized memory of him you have in your mind

I read the NYT piece, and I am holding onto the words of a woman who fended off inappropriate advances from a 60-year-old Cesar Chavez at the age of 19. “It makes you rethink in history all those heroes,” Esmeralda Lopez said. “The movement — that’s the hero.”

I know it's a silly jokey joke, but people REALLY need to stop anthropomorphizing their boyfriends. "My boyfriend told me" your boyfriend didn't "tell" you anything. "My boyfriend thinks..." your boyfriend can't actually think or feel; just output a convincing simulation of it based on probability 🙄

When retail books price bets that have a 5% chance of hitting as if they have a 10% of hitting, they're ensuring they make a profit even if you're the absolute smartest parlay player on planet earth. It is literally rigged. Please tell everyone you know who plays parlays that it is literally rigged.
