Behold, it is I, the guy who continues to play new shiny videogames instead of sticking to my ongoing playthroughs. I’ve written before about my ongoing games, which games I would start over instead of resuming, why I abandoned them, and...
Andreas posted some interesting thoughts, wondering if maybe we are too paranoid when it comes to AI slop. Please, go read his words first, I only intend to add to the conversation here, not to put him in an uncomfortable position or...
When the events I share on my weeknotes are few and far between, it’s often because I wrote a lot of posts already talking about stuff that was interesting to me during the week, so, yeah it happens sometimes! In any case, this is some...
