I sometimes worry that too many people think being a good critic means being a self-righteous dick about every little thing and I think far too many miss the point that you can't critique anything if you don't know how to love something.

I had a similar thought recently about consultants. If AI's resulting in huge improvements in consultant output I think that says quite a lot about the value of most consultants

If you, as a social scientist, believe that AI is now a better social scientist than you, then (a) you’re probably right, and (b) sure sounds like a skill issue, y’know?

Man every day I wonder if I shouldn’t just delete my account on here maybe. Opening Bluesky makes me want to actually walk in front of a truck. I don’t think people on here understand how crazy they’ve gotten

amazing how yet another round of "you have to promise you'll vote for the shitbag years in advance" reveals itself to have nothing to do with strategy and pragmatics and everything to do with "i am scared and anxious and everyone on the internet needs to promise me everything will turn out alright"

what makes something "vulnerable to AI" is not the capacity of machines but the credulity of management.

Of course, it is also true that historians jobs may in practice be vulnerable to AI, because a lot of people who control the money for historian jobs probably haven’t thought much about where history comes from, either.

older gamers aren't mad about wokeness in games. we're mad that DND 4th Edition was jettisoned for the mechanically inferior 5th Edition

Michael Hobbes@michaelhobbes.bsky.social

Even by the standards of anti-woke journalism this is lazy dreck. The first piece of "evidence" that older gamers are mad about wokeness is a random Reddit comment — that isn't a complaint about wokeness. www.telegraph.co.uk/tv/2025/11/2...
