"...the sales tax exemption for data centers accounted for $2.73 billion of the tax savings..."
A multi-trillion-dollar industry doesn't need our tax dollars to incentivize it to do $#!+. That's money we need to fix roads and feed kids, not subsidize corporate greed.

I feel like Instagram, long a core source of overly processed photos of your friends’ lives, kinda slow-boiled-frogged us all into joining quasi-TikTok.
Like, I still open the app thinking I’m gonna see my friends, and then, 5 minutes later, have somehow watched 10 standup comedy routines.

I don't know if I will ever say "I'm so boned" out loud during a game ever again.

“AI is coming to take our jobs” no it isn’t. It’s a CEO named Gary taking some shitty advice from a VC who has never had a real job in their life, trying to maximise their quarterly earnings by firing as many people as they can get away with to make number go up, and it isn’t sustainable

he's right, and the bit about the happy accidents is so important. how much of the actual human artistic process is fueled by our innate capability of creative problem solving? and you want to automate that? and for what??? the most generic common denominator, literally algorithmic slop.

Pliny the Younger apparently thought sports were very stupid but it's funny that it's for the exact reason laid out in Seinfeld s6e12 ("The Label Maker")
![[6] L To Calvisius.
Thave been spending all my time here among my tablets and books as quietly as I could wish.
"How is that possible," you ask, "in Rome?" Well, the Circensian games have been on, and that is a kind of spectacle which has not the slightest attraction for me. There is no novelty, no variety in it, nothing which one wants to see twice. Hence I am the more amazed that so many thousands of men * should be eager, like a pack of children, to see horses running time after time, and the charioteers bending over their cars. There might be some reason for their enthusiasm if it was the speed of the hors or the skill of the drivers that was the attraction, but it is the racing-colours which they favour, and the racing-colours that fire their love.
If, in the middle of the course and during the race itself, the colours were to be changed, their enthusiasm and partisanship would change with them, and they would suddenly desert the drivers and the horses, whom they recognise afar and whose names they shout aloud. Such is the influence and authority vested i one cheap tunic, I don't say with the common crowd, - for that is even cheaper than the tunic, - but with certain men of position; and when I consider that they can sit for so long without growing tired, looking on at such a fruitless, cheerless, and tedious sport, I really feel a sort of pleasure in the thought that what they take delight in has no charm for me. Thus it is that I have been only too glad to pass my leisure time among my books during the race-meeting, while others have been wasting their days in the most idle occupations. Farewell.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:26gfiesadzjgf44w2dv5yeo7/bafkreieap7ojlbpperccfkitgfnxrufik6wdvrgrtfa6ssdm72ihbdhwqm@jpeg)

My exact experience watching AI bros try to Midjourney their way into actual illustration jobs in a real production pipeline: lol. lmao
Saw an ad for an AI coding app. A guy brags he dropped out of Stanford, types one prompt, and builds a “production-ready Spotify app.” It spits out a hardcoded UI with a few songs, and he declares, “CS majors are definitely fucked.”
As an engineer with actual skills, seeing that made me feel safer.

more evidence for “a bunch of AI cultists dismantled large parts of the federal government because they believed that their LLMs were intelligent and could do the work better” thesis
Reporter: The FDA has a new AI tool that's intended to speed up drug approvals. But several FDA employees say the new AI helper is making up studies that do not exist. One FDA employee telling us, 'Anything that you don't have time to double check is unreliable. It hallucinates confidently'

It's wild that you can trace literally all of this back to Final Fantasy fans who have been driven insane because Final Fantasy games aren't turn-based anymore but refuse to play literally one of the million turn-based games Square (and others) publish because they aren't called Final Fantasy.
I am deeply fascinated with this obsession to use Clair Obscur to prop up whatever narratives we want to reinforce. It feels like no one is interested in engaging with what the actual game is about, but everyone wants to talk about how it's saving gaming in some nebulous way.
Square Enix’s non-committal nod to shareholders is not them promising a big comeback of turn-based RPGs, nor praise of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
