When I look up at Mars, shining brightly in the night sky, I find myself filled with hope that one day I will be able to point and say "See? That's where all the billionaires died."

I guess I'm saying: consumer-side battles have delivered very few victories on the environment, GMOs, health, or human rights.
By all means, make and support AI-free games, but ultimately, if the problems are energy and water use, IP theft, and so on, you have to address them as such.

The anti-AI sentiment in games is driven by serious ethical concerns, but it manifests as an aesthetic rejection -and occasionally as a labor conflict.
If the aesthetics are undetectable and developers don’t call out their employers, AI becomes just another accepted externality like pollution.

Just saw some Reddit thread about someone whose oven is suddenly no longer connecting to the Internet the day of their big Thanksgiving dinner and it really makes me hope that one day someone develops a kitchen appliance that doesn't require an active web connection to function.

NPM is a giant mountain of implicitly trusted dependencies that should have zero trust whatsoever, and it's shocking to me that the entire modern tech ecosystem is built on it.

Maybe I'm missing an important point, but the Ford gov's claim that "Landlords will lower rents if they can rent out more of their properties now that we've given them more power over tenants" feels like something you'd say if you'd never literally never heard of capitalism before in your life.
