Carl T. BergstromEulogy for the Metaverse.
“The fact that Mark Zuckerberg has clearly stepped away from the Metaverse is a damning indictment of everyone who followed him, and anyone who still considers him a visionary tech leader.”
A Cambridge mail carrier was violently attacked by a pair of wild turkeys and rescued by … Theda Skocpol.
SwiftOnSecurityError: Your password must contain at least two characters who talk to each other about something other than a man.
Hard to overstate just how dangerous this business is.
“On Friday evening, Mr. Trump’s campaign announced what could be his first rally after an indictment: an event in Waco, Texas, where deadly clashes between federal officials and extremists occurred 30 years ago around this time.”
I mean you just take out the word “bank” and you get the broader underlying history at work:
“The tale of Silicon Valley is one of ambition and management mistakes, of a chief executive who talked so much about innovation and the future that he and his lieutenants didn’t pay enough attention to the mundane but enormously important work of managing risk”
File this under “we’re less well prepared for future public health emergencies because of the pandemic”
“Nass said he doesn’t trust anything Westergaard says after he recommended the state shutdown during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.”
I say this as someone who’s been playing video games since Zork in the 1980s and who always thought the moralizing of people arguing video games were violent and ruining society etc was reactionary and short-sighted. But, like, shouldn’t we be further along than this, artistically, by now?
Man. The Last of Us finale is mostly a demonstration of how shallow and inadequate even narratively inventive video games are. It’s not something inherent in the medium — Papers Please, for example, is morally and ethically a much more interesting experience — it’s something about the path dependency of the industry and the audience it’s cultivated, I think?
