if the rich cared about being good at business, they'd be investing in labor, not AI. it's objectively faster, cheaper, and better quality to invest in human workers. it's such an easy calculation to make it's a mistake to assume stupidity. what they're investing is total power over the system.

This "Deciding To Win" study is pretty compelling, say what you will about the participants but you can't argue the stats

Banner: DECIDING TO WIN: Toward a common sense renewal of the Democratic Party

THE PROBLEM:
Democrats have been offering voters a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. This is despite the fact that only 40% of voters want PB&J and 35% want ham and cheese.

(A Pie chart shows 40% pb and j, 35% ham and cheese, and 25% other)

THE SOLUTION:
The Democrats are poised to earn a supermajority by targeting what the median American voter wants: a peanut butter and ham sandwich

I ought to watch this video later. Most of my experience with early SNES fan translations was through ZSNES, and I played through Secret of Mana with friends ages ago using it www.pcgamer.com/gaming-indus...

The programmer of legendary emulator ZSNES just resurfaced after 24 years to give his first-ever interview and spill the secrets of its magical netplay, snowy UI and unbelievable speed on 1997 PCs

A major contributor from the early days of emulation finally gets his flowers.

I think about this in how the guy who ran MySpace sold his company and then traveled the world doing photography, while the guy who runs Facebook never let it go and has gone out of his way to destroy democracy in order to gain more power.

The desperate need to accumulate more and more at the cost of everyone else’s wellbeing should be classified as a mental disorder, and I will absolutely die on this hill.

Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."

I thought you were because I went on a rabbit hole of trying to find the Nova Knowledge Now song because of you

I'm from Northern Virginia, which is why I considered that it might be regional. Perhaps the song is a phenomenon of the broader Rust Belt

Well, she also wasn't familiar with the Doobie Brothers song so the whole joke was inevitably lost

Abby didn't get this post so I wonder how regional the childhood rhyme "Tic-tac-toe, three in a row, Barney got shot by GI Joe" was. It might also be confined to a very specific era since the last line is "WHOOMP! Barney's dead"

We have reports of a new cult of sickos who hole themselves up in rooms and draw hundreds-if not thousands-of images of the same few imaginary people. They call themselves “animators” and they’re just one of the perverts you’ll learn about on tonight’s Pervert Watch
