Each of the ten episodes is solid and worth a close listen, and they really ramp up as the season progresses. At the risk of spoiler, my personal favourite moment is the end of Computer Power and Human Reason where Hanna pours her heart out to ELIZA. Made me want to cry. Love that they made this.

A heartfelt endorsement of @felienne.bsky.social and Hanna Schraffenberger's podcast Computer Science? Off Course!

The discussions are whip-smart, but Hanna's "homework" segments in particular stick with me. I often just sit there in motionless silence & absorb her empathy.

This is heartbreaking. Ugh. There is sooo much cultural work needed to heal the wounds of AI mania. Guess who that work is gonna fall on.

I have heard so many good things about this game (mostly from Draknek & Friends). It's on my wishlist <3

I gave Braid an A+ back in my press days. I spent 100s of hours working on The Witness at PlayStation, fighting for it, getting it into conferences, and being Jon's personal wrangler. I even coined "Metroidbrainia" after it. I will not be buying Order of the Sinking Star, and neither should you.

Have you noticed, lately, or noticed people around you commenting, that there just seems to be no money anymore. There's no money for companies to make the tv shows you like, the video games you like, the local diner you like shut down, no one you know can find a job. Think about that in context of

AI is now the biggest investment in all of US history as a percentage of GDP. Datacenter construction is up, all other construction is down. "AI Is Squeezing Out the Rest of the Stock Market," reported WSJ 2 days ago. We basically bet the whole economy on the most optimistic visions panning out.

I think I've reached a point where I'm ready to just bite the bullet on the fact that, yes, we should gatekeep art, actually we do not owe you access to the sum total of every single professional creative skill that was extracted from humanity and put into the machine, without our consent

there's a guy on twitter in the mid 2010s who has a DSLR camera and takes pictures of his family holidays and he wears all beige and tan and is experimenting with zettelkasten and he has enough software now let's make some for somebody else

Generally speaking I do need AI boosters to understand that I’ve lost my career and future plans entirely to AI-based cost cutting. so any time you’re talking about tech you have to understand people whose livelihoods were destroyed by a thing they didn’t choose to adopt they’re gonna be prickly lol

Here's how Ivan created ZERO VOID, his hacker alias slash virtual halloween costume. I've since stolen it from him, since he's dead, and now refer to ZV as a "witch-hat hacker" cuz that's cute.

FWIW: I don't know what Parakeet is, and that project account doesn't have a description.
