Kenney hit the infamous "two billionaires with one post" achievement, remains very rare, also shows once again that money does not equal intelligence, capability, or insight: Kenney is obviously right.

Everyone is Twelve truly is the defining political theory of our age.

It’s oligarchs against the rest of us. And the robots are a means of control. I wish the plot line of so many sci-fi classics weren’t coming true but…

Ysabel Yates'... I mean Cookie Monster's superb takedown of why GenAI in the workplace sucks.

To all the sloppers in gamedev: You wish you had a micron of the creativity and capability the average young person making a game on an old laptop while watching tutorials on YouTube has had for decades. No machine will turn you into a creative person.
