I think about this video a lot

As a Canadian (confirmation pending) that’s a huge bummer but as a hockey fan it really doesn’t get much better than that

Immediate thought was β€œEA-sports-ass scoreline” but no, the game would have Italy up 2-0 at this point

It doesn’t include us and it’s fundamentally unserious and untethered from objective reality. This book aligns closely with the themes of the video and debunks some of our techno-fascist overlord’s more outrageous goals

I stopped trying to debate software developers on LLMs a while back. It's fruitless. Even if they could be budged on empirical grounds, they are explicitly fine with using tools that are themselves deeply unethical.

Incredible. 11/10 online checkout experience Microsoft, no notes. I have 17 Xbox games in my cart from your heavily advertised Black Friday sale. Deliberately flushing any goodwill you had left with gamers down the toilet, true business geniuses at work.

How did they lose you? I am in a similar place with the Canucks. Married into the fandom years ago, but continued absolute incompetence and a toxic culture from the ownership on down has soured things a lot. Still root for individual players, but apathetic about the team as a whole.

Oh man that sucks, have very much enjoyed your work over the years. Hope you find a new gig quickly.

Excellent thread. Makes me wonder how many other undervalued player archetypes are out there.

Links drive traffic away from the hellsite rage echo chamber and onto other websites, reducing engagement metrics which are linked to executive bonuses. Although β€œElon is a fucking idiot” is probably an equally valid explanation.

Injuries, coaching change, Elias Pettersson (F) turning into a pumpkin. Max Sasson was their 2C last night. Cursed franchise, might be Etsy witch time.

Nailed it, as usual. You focus on tech but let’s not forget the actual concrete human cost left in the wake of these absolute ghouls across all industries.

Many moons ago I interviewed at Facebook and was asked to pitch them a new feature idea. I suggested something around monitoring at-risk signals for depression and surfacing resources to help users. Now those same signals are probably used for targeting antidepressant advertising. Bleak.
