Hey hey I'm making another zine! A4 2B D6 will be similar to eraserflag (A5, 36ish pages) but specifically focused on RPGs this time. We're looking for pitches from other Malaysians writers, designers, and artists who love RPGs, so if that's you, please submit a pitch here: forms.gle/Zf4G8LQjayxW...

Democratizing the arts looks like universal income, low-barrier grants for both emerging and working artists, well-funded municipal arts & recreation programs, vibrant third spaces, and a well-funded public school system with progressive curriculum.

Not a free pass for corporate-owned slop engines.
Every instance of "AI democratizes the arts, you're classist and ableist and a gatekeeper for trying to stop it" is a slap in the face to the literally centuries of poor, disabled people making art on the margins and a crass lie in service of a machine that strips down and regurgitates dreams

With this in mind: if you work for coreweave, nebius or another neocloud and have information about costs, please ping me at ezitron.76.
I just want the hourly cost of running these h100/b200/gb200 GPUs so bad. I know it sucks. I know in my gut it is not profitable to run this crap. Those numbers are the key to the whole bubble

As with all its applications, AI takes away the process, leaving you only with results. Even if people think the results are good (they seldom really are), the process is valuable. Learning, development, experimentation, innovation & change come about through process, not by skipping to results.

I own four copies. I’ve facilitated it for a dozen 8-9 year olds, my niece at age 4, dozens of students, & my new game group this Friday.

A staple.

8m subscribers? Wow that’s pathetic and right there with Microsoft 365 copilot which had 8 million active licenses in August 2025. This should be seen as an abject failure! All that capex and all that opex and all that noise and for what? Acquihires and $10bn+ in future impairments?

His blunt, brash scepticism has made the podcaster and writer something of a cult figure. But as concern over large language models builds, he’s no longer the outsider he once was

anyone saying LLMs will certainly continue into the future long-term, I think overestimates the certainty of a long term on current civilization path.

רגע אחרי שקראתי בפייסבוק פוסט המצדיק ומצדיע להחלטה של הוצאה לאור בצרפת לפטר את כל המתרגמים האנושיים ולהחליף אותם בתרגום מכונה, צצה לי פרסומת לבובת כובד סנסורית, שמדמה חיבוק עמוק. זה נראה לי המשך ישיר של אותו קו מחשבה. כמה זמן יכולים ההורים לחסוך, אם במקום לחבק את ילדיהם יקנו להם בובת חיבוק סנסורית.

Every now and then I see someone asking for recommendations of a GMless game to play.

Well a bunch of us made a list, complete with explanations of why we thought each game was great, so you can decide for yourself.

Lastly, from Avery Alder. I'd just been personally curious about how she felt about the Quiet Year being used as worldbuilding, and I think she has a very gracious response.

Based on modeling out its last three quarters of sales, NVIDIA appears to have shipped around 4GW of IT load - yet I cannot find compelling evidence that even 1GW has come online. I believe there are millions of GPUs in warehouses, waiting to be installed.
