  • Society will be radically changed long before AI radically changes society.

    Given the mostly white, bourgeois preoccupation with “x-AI risk” (existential/extinction) I think the real “risk” is that the self-legitimating myths of capitalism will fall on muted microphones. Even 10 years ago when AI was still called machine learning and it was much less impressive (its outputs were exclusively categorization of inputs) and it required decades of breakthroughs and to be hooked up to every input in society and multiplexed with every output to do anything “harmful” the x-AI risk people were running around crying (this holds true today of LLMs and other statistically likely to exist content emitters).

    The pitch is always that the AI will decide the needs of the many outweigh the needs (private property rights) of the few. This is only scary if you are among that few. Even property rights obsessed liberals don’t think themselves among the few who will be exproprAIted but are outraged by the expropriation itself. It’s a boogyman spewed by the people who are the problem and we’re asked to share their fear. Ridiculous.

    Unlike other private property and artifacts of capital accumulation which are inert (the workers may organize against you but the steel mill itself won’t), the AI their capital gives birth to might in several decades time maybe organize against you (but not really).


  • There should be a mesh filter at the bottom of the tub to prevent food bits from clogging the drain pump (assuming the machine doesn’t drain to a garbage disposal which some machines do). Give that a rinse under the sink.

    They make dishwasher cleaning agents specifically to clean out the machine. You could try those or something with the same active ingredient.

    You may need to do a couple vinegar rinses and follow-up with an empty cycle or two to push all the “contaminated” water out.




  • Idk about UI design, but from personal experience, Japanese software feels really weak. I play a popular Japanese CCG and the tournament software they use is really bad. At the big events there’s 30m+ of downtime between rounds because there’s no automated way to input match slips. At 2000+ person attendance it crashes the site so you can’t see online pairings which makes everyone in the venue scramble to the printed pairings. When they announce banlist updates, the website crashes from the traffic. A lot of this feels like a solved problem from other big firms and game publishers, but the Japanese ones without fail have consistently awful software that feels stuck in the 90s by comparison.









  • It does from time to time. You’ll see “pushed” (ie really good and hard to get) cards come out and enjoy their time and then either they get banned or the synergistic cards that make them format warping get banned.

    I don’t even mind that aspect of the product cycle that much. I enjoy they competitive aspect and some strategies can and will be better than others.

    But the cards that define the format being inaccessible AND this type of product design that’s endemic to the CCG business model really sucks. And IRL play is so much better than sims, especially if you’re trying to improve at the game too.
