Velocity is not helpful if you’re not pointed in the right direction, and even if you are pointed in the right direction it’s not useful if you overshoot your destination.

I made this metaphor at work but management is not interested.

Giving an incompetent team AI is like giving a child a chainsaw. Maybe he’ll chop wood faster but that’s probably not all that’s going to happen.

Zitron’s point that management are stupid is really important. They don’t know what they’re talking about. They don’t do any work!

You laugh, but this is genuinely how the majority of managers and executives think and act, and now they have a special chatbot that can fart out functional-enough prototypes to convince a Business Idiot they can do anything, because executives and managers do not regularly do much work. As a result, they have little idea what work looks like other than when they look over your shoulder, which is why they wanted you back in the office, and their distance from production is why the same people who were anti-remote work are now aggressively trying to shove AI down your throat.

We are ruled by the worst fucking people.

Good. Fuck amazon. Fine them harder.

We should unionize and eat the useless managers.

I never see characters in games as “me”. I try to make someone hot or wacky. Often that’s a buff lady. Sometimes it’s “the biggest beard and hair I can get”.

We really should stop letting companies buy each other. In fact we should split the big ones up.

He’s lying. Or bullshitting. Whatever you call it when people say shit without any regard for the truth. Typical conservative slop.

People don’t think too good when they’re emotional, so this would be very effective.

I don’t understand how so many people played final fantasy 7 and the only lesson they seemed to take from the story is “tifa got big titties”

Don’t blame the tool, blame the user 😁

I compare it to snapshot tests a lot. They’re similarly constrained by “good if used wisely” but most people don’t do that. It’s easier to use them extensively. That’s just how people are. They do the easy thing

Paying more money for better results doesn’t fit into the world view of many business decision makers.

How do you feel about people who refuse to use ride-share like Uber because it’s exploiting labor? I don’t want to give them any money because fuck them, but some of my friends say the drivers need money so refusing to use it is only hurting them.

Well, yeah, AI is mostly garbage. Fuck it. Fuck the people pushing it.

It’s a horrible policy that people stop paying social security tax at like $200k or something. That’s backwards. The first $50k or so should be untaxed, and it should ramp up from there.

I use keepassxc. It does the job.

Microsoft should never have been allowed to buy LinkedIn. It should be split off.

I remember thinking it was cool when Doom loaded with R_Init: Init DOOM refresh daemon

Telling people “use more ai” was always a profoundly stupid direction. “Ship more stuff faster, use AI if it helps, get paid the same” would be anti-labor but at least sensible.

If selling widgets the customer probably doesn’t care if you used a screwdriver or a drill. They just want their widget. Mandating drill usage is stupid.

Literally everyone saw it coming.

Many people aren’t paying attention. Many people are like pathologically gullible.

The average person just… if you’re smart and capable, imagine being drunk. Being drunk all the time. That’s the baseline. Myopic, impatient, emotional.

Maybe if we had better education and less capitalist hellscape people could be a little better.

I’m not here to watch a movie. I’m here to take this axe and hit monsters with it.

I’m sure bloodborne has a very deep story. I had a great time just hitting stuff with that axe and occasionally shooting things. That’s the bulk of the content.
