This means that the increased price of RAM and consumer electronics was a result of an artificial "supply chain crisis" created by Jensen Huang pushing NVIDIA's customers to take early delivery of GPUs. Jensen Huang is responsible for making life worse for everyone.

NVIDIA seems to be channel stuffing, forcing Amazon and other customers to take early delivery. The argument that these things are "scarce" when you don't even have anywhere to plug them into is nonsense...unless NVIDIA is saying you NEED to take them now, or else. GPUs are stacked in warehouses.

When I see AI generated thumbnails about the 64DD I'm always thinking about how they're missing the point anyway here's a bunch of shit I made in Mario Artist on it with my own hands

Remember when King Neptune AI slopped his hundreds of awful burgers in seconds and SpongeBob painstakingly made one delicious burger by hand

We had a good thing, you son of a bitch! We had an emulator. We had ISOs. We had PSSPP on PC + Phone and it all ran like clockwork. You could’ve shut your mouth, and gotten as much social clout as you ever needed. It was perfect. But no, you just had to blow it up. You and your Claude and your Slop!

Reflecting on the Resident Evil movie, and a thematic takeaway that's sticking with me with me is that it posits that no matter how insecure and incompetent you feel, you will never be as stupid as the people in power whose real incompetence will fuck up your life way worse than you could yourself.

I really love this chart. I'm guess that the correlation here (.85) is about as big as you would find for any other variable. Also, a less serious scholar than @tesler.bsky.social (namely me) would have made a crude Freudian reference to the slope of the line.

feel like the whole "ai is dangerous, we must slow down" from ai execs is a smokescreen for "we are in 100 trillion dollars of debt and every time you ask chatgpt whats updog, it puts us in the hole another 1 million dollars, please stop using it"

I didn't enjoy NES Metroid until I stopped trying to follow guides and started drawing my own maps. I loved videogames as a kid because they gave me a peek into another world. They're not just a bunch of systems to overcome. Sometimes it's worth taking time to explore and chart your own course.

I know this'll ruffle feathers but I agree with this Food/Water watch analysis. Diverting renewable energy away from fossil phase-out and climate adaptation and towards melting graphics card to power chatbots is the formal end of moral purpose for clean technology.

I've seen people say that Gen AI is a tool. NO. Things like Photoshop, Blender, etc etc are tools used by artists. With Gen AI, the AI is the "artist". You're just the plebe commissioning the piece. I can't imagine anyone being proud of something they came up with using Gen AI.

Takaya Imamura, who worked at Nintendo for 32+ years, believes that the Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake’s art is primarily thanks to Shigeru Miyamoto’s love of Ningyōgeki (Japanese Marionettes). credit to @drechin_ on twitter for making an excellent thread on this

Red Ring of Death #116, “The Tingle Commission,” circa 2007. Folks might not remember how hated the Zelda character Tingle was back in the day, but Shawn made sure to make his feelings known with a wry & clever political allegory! Hilarious stuff!

Nice to have a citation for the stuff we all sort of assume to be true but question if it's just our own biases making it look that way
