Unfortunately, I think we’re going to start seeing more of the residual effects of the 80s/90s Japanese game dev work culture (LOTS of smoking, long hours/office sleeping, heavy drinking after work) hitting in tragic ways within the next decade or so…

There was a time, back in the 90s, when Microsoft made software for people who like to use the computer.

Now Microsoft has decided that they hate the computer, and that using it to do things should be avoided. They are going to make everyone who uses a computer hate it as much as they do.

Somewhat lost in the news today: Paul Williams has passed away. You might not know his name but he was instrumental in the arcade world, working at Sega for decades, from Sega World UK in the 90s to leading Sega Amusements International - the arcade arm. www.amusementnetwork.co.uk/n/n578/paul-...

Author and filmmaker Justine Bateman on generative AI
"They're trying to convince people they can't do the things they've been doing easily for years - to write emails, to write a presentation. Your daughter wants you to make up a bedtime story about puppies - to write that for you." We will get to the point, she says with a grim laugh, "that you will essentially become just a skin bag of organs and bones, nothing else. You won't know anything and you will be told repeatedly that you can't do it, which is the opposite of what life has to offer. Capitulating all kinds of decisions like where to go on vacation, what to wear today, who to date, what to eat.
People are already doing this. You won't have to process grief, because you'll have uploaded photos and voice messages from your mother who just died, and then she can talk to you via AI video call every day. One of the ways it's going to destroy humans, long before there's a nuclear disaster, is going to be the emotional hollowing-out of people." - author and filmmaker Justine Bateman from a piece by Emine Saner for the Guardian

the reframing of ICE and CBP from "dipshit agencies for losers and washouts" to Very Special Boys who get paid when nobody else in the government does must be creating an enormous seething vortex of resentment
Internal DHS memo shows Trump plans to keep paying ICE agents and Border Patrol officers throughout the shutdown, while other feds go without pay.

Even the DHS administrative staff processing the paychecks won't get theirs, employee tells me.

Trump Plans To Keep Paying Immigration Agents While Other Federal Workers Go Without Paychecks
The move amounts to special treatment for Trump’s favorite constituency within the federal bureaucracy.

this is insane, like, actually. you NEED people all over the country to do their jobs in journalism.
2. Rolling Stone is owned by a large media conglomerate, which is ending remote work across its brands.

My home is Portland, Oregon, ~1,000 miles from the nearest office, so this marks the end of the line for me at RS.

There is an actual life-changing conflict between WFH being cheaper and more efficient, an entire layer of middle managers who need to have meetings to feel alive, and the commercial real estate cabal that runs all cities. It’s going to get so fucking weird.
remote work is like birth control or UBI atp where there’s overwhelming research consensus they improve quality of life for people they apply to, yet access is impeded or blocked by the ruling class because the thought of marginalized ppl having rich full lives makes steam come out their ears
