If, for some reason or another, you want to hear more of what I think about various different video games, I write little reviews up for just about everything I play these days over on Backloggd:

just to emphasize what's happening here: BMW (a company that used slave labor under the Nazis) refused to provide an official vehicle to the ultra right-wing AfD party, which is now asking Elon Musk to provide a Tesla instead
Tesla literally becoming the Nazi car brand

The party is now turning to the man who has been the go-to person for those suffering from spontaneous contractions of the right arm, and who has already provided them with strong support in recent years.

the reason “AI will create so much abundance we will have a utopian society” rhetoric falls so flat is that the people building it will never, ever share their bounty unless it is taken from them and we all know it

I frequently see "AI" boosters implying that LLMs are simply an innate and superior part of coding now, inescapable, and that literally all programmers agree with them.
And, well. That, too, is a form of propaganda

People talk about how transphobic, ableist, sexist and racist British media is, and don't get me wrong, they're right to do so, but not enough people understand WHY. It's because it is an incestuous hive of cronyism and nepotism shot through with abject corruption.

I do not think it is much of an exaggeration to say that British media is one of the least trustworthy institutions on the planet.
