More amazing journalism from Chris. @verticalslice.news is off to an unbelievably strong start.

“Young people have already concluded that AI is a mistake. Now it is time for the rest of us to see the truth”: former Google and Facebook investor Roger McNamee AKA @moonalice.com on how the industry’s financial problems may undermine the entire economy www.thenerve.news/p/roger-mcna...

HEY GANG - DID YOU KNOW THAT NVIDIA JUST PUT ALL OUR GPUS INTO REMOTE ACCESS MODE FOR SLOP AGENTS TO CONNECT TO? NVIDIA APP > SETTINGS > FEATURES > ALLOW AGENT ACCESS > OFF TURN THAT SHIT OFF

So what is the plan here for the capitalists and AI supporters? There aren't 60,000 tech jobs to replace these jobs. Prices aren't going down so these employees won't be able to live on nothing. People keep talking about AI making jobs easier, but it is getting rid of jobs without replacing them.

"I don't want to work at this place anymore:" EA workers decry mismanagement and corporate greed after mass layoffs Current and former EA employees paint a bleak picture of daily life at one of the video game industry's most prominent publishers

And if you're looking for a clear example of how EA leadership seemingly cannot fail, here's a perfect anecdote:

NEW: I spoke with current and former EA employees to understand how the latest layoff round played out and the realities of daily life at the U.S. publisher. The short version? EA is controlled by an executive class that "cannot fail, only be failed." Workers, then, will always pay the price.

Been thinking a lot about how Billy Evan's dissent into coked out grifter paranoia in You Can See Everything kind of perfectly encapsulates the ways twitter and chatbots have enabled a significant cohort of men to enter a state of being I'm calling "spiritually divorced"

Last year, scientists reported that the average human brain contained roughly the weight of a plastic spoon in microplastics and nanoplastics. Now, a deeper look suggests a much broader assortment of material from the outside world is getting through. https://wapo.st/4kduqOX

Fantastic advice

gotta say hats off to all the writers pretending to do profiles of Silicon Valley CEOs just so they can add that one same paragraph, every single time, that demonstrates they're all insane freaks who do not know or like their own kids.

I’m a huge Mass Effect fan, but time and again the fandom has made me cringe. I’d love it to come back but it’s not just the game it’s also team that made it are more important. I dislike the selfish implication that it doesn’t matter who makes it as long as it’s made makes me feel vaguely ill.

Mass Effect was my ultimate white whale, my all-time dream project. For the last couple years I'd been in discussion w/ BioWare & EA to take on the project & as part of that I wrote close to 20 minutes of music to explore where the franchise can go next, may as well share it!

I love this stupid doorstop plane an unreasonable amount. NASP and a full scale Delta Clipper should’ve been built and I’ll die on that

I think it's beautiful when art effects people so deeply they'll go to these lengths to try to save a particular project, I just wish we had any kind of organized body for creative workers across industries that could funnel this energy into actually supporting the people who created the art

Not only an incredible talent, but a rare talent who also thought it was funny to just voice random memes every once in a while

Did you know, that I offer art prints? :) ♥️ #art #packingorder #letspacksomeart

A difficult start to the week. Didn’t expect to be writing this less than 24 hours after buzzing to hear Bauza in the excellent Forgotten Island. What a voice. What a talent. What a man, by all accounts. That’s not all, folks — it’s just see you, later. Rest easy, doc.

NEW: A Florida cybersecurity company promised to help clients recover data from ransomware attackers. In a 2019 story, we found the company was making secret payments to hackers and pocketing hefty fees from clients. The CEO was just indicted for fraud.

The fact that billionaires can just buy an entire film distribution company that has been running and respected for over a decade to kill a documentary about their billionaire friend and nothing can be done about it is just Fuck man
