Thank you for your attention to this matter

That doesn’t sound so sinister.

This post bears the marks of manufactured outrage. Not required; we have plenty of real outrage.

Zuckerberg described his job as “Professional Defendant”

Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy.

I used to work for a clickbait factory, so I’m familiar with the hallmarks.

Business Insider articles are generally trash content. They choose provocative headlines and hot-button issues to boost engagement, but once you’re on the site, there’s not actually that much to engage with.

I almost clicked the link until I saw the domain name.

The arms race inherent in the world of computer gaming is reaching a point of unsustainability. I started thinking that way back when I could donate cpu time on my ps3 to protein folding simulation.

And, like most of our field, it’s a ratchet that only goes up. Efficiency and clever engineering to create an accessible experience is almost always lower down the list of priorities for these big corporate AAA publishers .

They’re more interested in swinging their dick further than the other guy. A lot of the time this doesn’t actually buy something more fun, popular, or playable. But the mind of an exec beholden to shareholders is obligated to invest in bloat. meanwhile I’m having a delightful time running clever little indie games on my steam deck.

Fucking terrifying.

I’ve used Claude and Codex, and while both are based on untenable economics, I can at least attest that my use of Codex has yielded some productive results. Claude, so far, has delivered fuck all that’s useful to me.
