Actually very fond of them
Walter Molino
one of my earliest video game memories was my neighbor from down the street burning me a copy of Roller Coaster Tycoon onto a CD and giving it to me for free, with the caveat that one day a week he would sit behind me and backseat game HARD. like "build this here, okay now build this here, no not there, HERE, okay now make a path here," etc etc. i never minded it at the time, i genuinely had no idea how to play so i thought he was teaching me. years later i learned that him and his family were Orthodox Jewish and him backseat gaming me was his way of getting around the Sabbath ban on playing video games
ai is a pretty good illustration of why uncoordinated capitalist production is bad. digitizing loads of books would be great! unfortunately, the digitized books can’t be freely distributed due to copyright law. data centers have genuine uses, but they’re being overbuilt in such slapdash ways because everyone needs their own. each company training their own massive LLM is such a wasteful duplication of effort…
we could be running society differently. we could be running it better.

My husband found it necessary to get the thing for me and I love it.
Be sure to remember Sad™’s birthday next August.
