I’m going to start my operating system with blackjack and hookers.

I will be your friend. We’ll make plans and never follow through just like my real friends.

There is the Company of Heroes games and the Commandos series.

That was a really good read. I agree with the author, that the people around us all leave their masks with us. We also try to give people our masks.

We all wear masks.

Despite their modern reputation, the original Luddites were neither opposed to technology nor inept at using it. Many were highly skilled machine operators in the textile industry. Nor was the technology they attacked particularly new.

The Luddite disturbances started in circumstances at least superficially similar to our own. British working families at the start of the 19th century were enduring economic upheaval and widespread unemployment. A seemingly endless war against Napoleon’s France had brought “the hard pinch of poverty,” wrote Yorkshire historian Frank Peel, to homes “where it had hitherto been a stranger.” Food was scarce and rapidly becoming more costly. Then, on March 11, 1811, in Nottingham, a textile manufacturing center, British troops broke up a crowd of protesters demanding more work and better wages.

As the Industrial Revolution began, workers naturally worried about being displaced by increasingly efficient machines. But the Luddites themselves “were totally fine with machines,” says Kevin Binfield, editor of the 2004 collection Writings of the Luddites. They confined their attacks to manufacturers who used machines in what they called “a fraudulent and deceitful manner” to get around standard labor practices. “They just wanted machines that made high-quality goods,” says Binfield, “and they wanted these machines to be run by workers who had gone through an apprenticeship and got paid decent wages. Those were their only concerns.”

Luddites didn’t have issues with technology. The issue was how technology was being used to suppress wages and erode labor rights. A modern day Luddite would still have a phone and an email address they just wouldn’t use AI or social media.

Sorry, insurance is going to deny that wheelchair claim.

Bezos will cry as he writes such an enormous check.

To a politician to make the charges go away. Tears of joy.

I am really enjoying the surge of unions in the video game development. Hopefully, this is create more momentum for other tech sectors to unionize.

Ff6 is so large that it’d probably be split up into 10 episodes as well

Why can’t people just do it for the love of the game?

Another fun fact about Epic. Epic does not support offline play. You have to be connected to the internet.

You just gotta keep jumping to go up the mountain!

Since it’s a thing now, I should note that the layoffs aren’t related to AI. To the extent it improves productivity, we want to have as many awesome developers developing great content and tech as we can.

Narrator “It was about AI.”

The company’s co-founder, Mike Cannon-Brookes [worth $7.2 billion], told employees the move was “the right decision for Atlassian” in a note circulated late Wednesday, US time.

“But that doesn’t mean it’s easy,” he said. “Far from it. I know this has a huge impact on each of you, and it weighs heavily on me and Atlassian today.” Cannon-Brookes used some wads of cash to dry his crocodile tears. “This is why I have to sleep on a big bed full of money tonight.”

I always remember the story about how a bank failed to make a record profit however made $6 billion in profit.

Scam the AI. It’s the moral thing to do.
