Unironically tho, he's never claimed to be a political philosopher. It's Bluesky that's turned his ideas into a theory, not the man himself.

Quite sincerely really appreciate the fact that you continue to post all these positive affirmations and such. I'm feeling a bit too demoralized for that these days.

God's Penis Visible In Night Sky For First Time In Millennia Stargazers around the world were able to see one of our closest celestial neighbors. God’s Penis peaked in its fullest at 9:35 p.m. EST, but hung proudly in our night sky throughout the night, accordi...

The Onion also did a pretty solid bit on this last year

So does Francis Fukuyama

Honestly what I'm taking away from remarks like 'kill all the Geth lol' is that a lot of people really don't seem to have any principles at all. They just...go with whatever vibes, I guess?

I gave myself chest pain with Tylenol once and I've been too terrified to use it ever since. Ibuprofen seems safer.

Honestly that shit barely even works for video games; League just ended up axing the Tribunal altogether. It took them a LONG time to get CS into a more constructive place and it's still touch and go.

But DATING? Holy hell.

Tbh this whole discourse is bringing back memories of middle age twitter. It boggles my mind that some people are apparently just itching to get back to that.

Things League of Legends taught me

Only if you're a surfer

For the record, I'm sorry if I came across as minimizing the damage of what you're describing. I don't want that either. I don't know how we manage it, though.

That's one possible solution, but it's not hard to imagine powerful people using it to muzzle criticism.

We need new structures to deal with this. I don't know exactly what those look like, but I am concerned that little of the discourse around LLMs seems interested in exploring that.

Even if I agreed with this; if you think the Butlerian Jihad is going to stop with LLMs I have some very bad news for you

I feel like Dead Money is the strongest DLC narratively and the weakest gameplay-wise; I really don't like the way it just sets aside the open world component in service of something more linear (same complaint about Lonesome Road).

I also did not know Avellone voiced Elijah!

I mean, sure, but I gotta think people in the quoted thread fantasizing about Butlerian Jihading LLMs is even farther from where we need to be right now.

A literal pivot to video in 2025, huh

the Great Filter is that only species with a long refractory period survive the invention of the video generation model

I believe you, this is your field, not mine. I just find it surprising.

Probably gonna make Amazon Games Studios look like a finely oiled machine.

The fact it can be effectively addressed by targeting core actors surprises me, honestly; I sorta operate under the assumption the nature of scored (likes, upvotes, whatever) social media incentives this behavior organically rather than just bringing out personality flaws.

I don't mean this as a dunk, but I'm fairly sure the proliferation of video content is at least as significant a factor here. Losing time on Tiktok is a common enough experience anymore for pretty much everyone to relate to.

I'm sort of assuming she's serving in a role that's akin to being an event planner or a concierge. In fairness, that's probably the best way for her to keep her job.

Fair question! I feel like it would help trap heat, but I don't know for sure. Also, some reptiles are really sensitive about having anything on their skin.

what if we filled the grand canyon with water and built a bunch of dams tho, best of both worlds

Well, it gets chilly out when you're a cold-blooded reptile.

Real rip-roaring critical insight there. Next you'll tell us Hannibal Lecter represents popular anxiety about psychology.

That paragraph really buries the lede huh

This is only judgeworthy if you go on to start a podcast about them

The TNG episode First Contact (distinct from the movie) ends with a scientist making the choice to do this after the Federation decides the planet they've been assessing making contact with isn't ready

Alternate Earth vs alternate planet, basically?
