credit cards shouldn't tell you what to buy. you're supposed to tell the credit card what to buy. thats the point i think

i worked with our director RJ to put together a web page compiling phone numbers, emails, and petitions where you can make your voice heard - protect queer artists and sex workers and tell payment processing companies to end their awful policies harming safe spaces for creative art

we have so many reasons to be angry and ultimately we are fucked if we keep directing that at the easiest and closest targets rather than the most powerful and impactful ones

But reading more takes in response to Sam Altman's ad-take doesn't do anything. It's net nothing.
Care with your hands, not your eyes.
Whatever happens, the future needs people doing real, local work to look after each other.
If you're able, google local volunteer orgs, I promise it won't take much

And why shouldn't he invest in that? He wants to be the Most Important Man Who Ever Lived, to get as close as he can to bringing about the machine god. He wants to be the one who Changed Everything. Why wouldn't he skate to where the puck is going? He's pushing it, after all.

There's a silver lining: I now own a wealth of highly valuable Intellectual Properties, so called, so I think you should get excited for some new Fortnite skins we're gonna farm out to some budget-friendly union-free Singaporean contractors coming very soon

"Why did you hire 10,000 people on those few massive gambles anyway"

They showed me a line going up and, with my zero object permanence, I figured it was just kind of going to keep doing that forever

I have decided to fire 10,000 people making things people actually like in order to inflate the budget of "the spreadsheet editor that sometimes verbally threatens you"

I thought I would forever miss this post when I left twitter. Glad to see it has safely migrated over.

I am sure that laying off the most skilled people, with otherwise unobtainable insight from decades of experience in game production, will somehow make games cost less to develop and by extension purchase.

Yup, the premise is ridiculous

this is why god gave us MS Paint
