I wonder when business services will start to understand that "powered by AI" is not actually a positive for a lot of people, esp when it comes to financial services.

If you took $1 billion and gave it to the endowment of a different small college each day, they could each provide a free college education to several hundred students per year in perpetuity. Instead we are using that money to bomb schools and kill students in Iran, for no clearly stated purpose.

Yeah those sounds from the let’s play video tottalllly took me back and it felt so weirdly like β€œoh yes, this other life I lived once upon a time when I saved the universe” what a phenomenal trilogy.

This is a good time for me brag that something like 15 yrs ago when I was working at Double Fine, Jennifer Hale called me on the phone as Commander Shepard and told me I was doing a good job.

Hanging out with my kiddo and he asked about my Mass Effect Normandy model on the shelf. I decided to show him a vid of a walkthrough of the ship in game and now he’s declared β€œthe Normandy is now my favorite space ship ever”

I’m gonna count that as a significant parenting win

I have a teenage nephew who attends a boarding school in the US. When I asked my sister about his plans for the future, she said he just shrugged and said why plan so far ahead because who knows if we might all be dying in stupid wars and I think about his response all the time now
