It has come to my attention that many people are unaware that the person who figured out that the private key was 4 was a Something Awful forums goon: forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.p...
ideas are basically free, gang. execution is the real ballgame.
the idea phase is the easiest and least valuable part of professional creativity. read the first draft of the first Star Wars if you doubt me Great art is made in the grinding, often miserable collision between the ethereal substance of an idea and the mud and blood and friction of reality

anyway, for some of this we have a kind of asbestos-shaped problem: the stuff we had does a really important thing (treats ADHD/makes you not die in a fire) but the negative side effects (cancer/also cancer) are really really bad, so it's a race to get alternatives up and running and market-viable
it sounds kind of ridiculous but i think you can make a not entirely facetious case that 1) the industrial revolution and therefore ~modernity is downstream of mass-market stimulants (tea, then tobacco and coffee) and 2) a key impact of stimulants is their effect on specifically certain ND types

completely correct on both counts, do not miss. also: anime protagonists that aren't in high school for once, shockingly listenable voice acting, and uniforms on women that look... uniform and not cringey.
Legitimately, Valkyria Chronicles - the anime-alternate-history-WWII-with-magical-girls is 1) a great game, go play it but 2) better about addressing the real nature of the Nazi regime than 95+% of 'gritty' modern realistic WWII games. Which is nuts, the bar is just...so low.

if you're interested in the how/why of art engaging with bad art can teach you a *lot* about technique and the difference between, as Twain put it, the lightning and the lightning-bug
experiencing bad art is extremely valuable if you engage with it honestly and there's always beauty and grace in it. and who doesn't love a trip to da movies. and also sometimes a movie just surprises you. but it's the lack of time that's the killer

when i say "CS is a humanity" dwarf fortress is basically what i'm talking about. it's a perfectly fine game but it's also a rare example of Programmer Art (complimentary)

I've named cars and devices and given them pronouns and stuff; in boating culture, basically every boat is she/her; people only got weird when the object started talking back convincingly.
i think anyone on the "don't anthropomorphize AI" team is fighting a losing battle. people anthropomorphize everything. just kinda the way language works. it's all metaphor.
