In April, I made the rarest of pilgrimages: to Tokyo, and the top of a skyscraper, to meet Hideo Kojima. I went with one question: why still make games? At 61, he has made them for almost forty years. But he has seen his end.

Could be unwell. I’d caution being mean even if you don’t like the actions of the company someone works for.

If they're going to try and retcon Charlie Kirk, then we should try to retcon him too.

i will concede that if you want to influence other people addicted to X, X is worth using. but if you want to influence the actual public, text-based social media is a fool's errand.

One of the biggest mistakes left-of-center pundits and influencers made was decamping to Bluesky. They made themselves irrelevant, shrunk their audiences, and dramatically lessened the positive impact they could have on our public debate at the precise time we needed it most.

this exists it is called thinking
Matthew McConaughey says he wants a private LLM, fed only with his books, notes, journals, and aspirations, so he can ask it questions and get answers based solely on that information, without any outside influence.
