🚨Excellent piece by Minna articulating clearly- based on the historical experience of Finland having its foreign policy crippled during the last 50 years- why the "Finlandization" option for Ukraine is a very bad idea.

Which happens after pages and pages and pages of him begging. This was not the first step. It was the last one. I reread the book very recently and while I do agree that the response of killing innocents is vile, this was not the first, second or even his third choice. Which is what makes him tragic
Hemlock Autumn (@hemlockautumn.bsky.social)
This breathless way of "reporting" with almost minimal critical thinking applied really irks me. "It's here to stay" "mass air layoffs" is a very dramatic claim for something that has already been seen to be taken back and alongside reporting that companies that implement it are at 0 profit.

It's such a blatant "he was turned into a monster by the inhumanity of others under the guise of rejection because he is not human", one can't miss it. Adam has.. somewhat of an excuse. Victor doesn't. The moral superiority Victor claims is nonexistent.
Hemlock Autumn (@hemlockautumn.bsky.social) reply parent
After. He repeatedly tries to reason with Victor. Tried to get attention, help and support, pointing out that he didn't ask for this and he was abandoned of no fault of his own. Victor acts like a twat. He repeatedly calls Adam a monster, so Adam... finally agrees that this is what he is.
Hemlock Autumn (@hemlockautumn.bsky.social)
No. He is chased by a family he actually cares for and helps, then he saves a girl from drowning, whose father attacks him mistaking his actions for an attempt of hurting her. THEN he finds Victor, learns about his own origin and THEN murders Victor's younger brother.

What's with people who like the idea that the Amish are somehow "healthier" than other people and it's always "because they don't use contemporary medicine" and the obvious aspect *they don't go to the doctor so they don't have medical dossiers, so we don't know what thelir health is'??

Oh, yes. There was a channel I was paying attention to occasionally Salem Tovar and all of a sudden in a random video... BELCH. And I don't mean the hiccup type that can happen by accident. I mean the intentional type. Right into the microphone. I genuinely was so disgusted and instantly unfollowed.

It's weird because there is a group of people who see it as a great way to give people time and space to be creative and chill... and the other group who consider it the way to take us back to feudalism. And of course the latter is the group with money...

It is weird that everything is called "ai" which I presume is intended to be "coolness by association" since it is clearly seen as basically magic but it mostly results in eyerolles and ironically, tainted by association.
Hemlock Autumn (@hemlockautumn.bsky.social) reply parent
I am not questioning you but the logic behind the push of *ai" into everything that is happening on a scale while the usefulness so far has been mid at best...

Sure. So what's the point of replacing them with something also prone to false positives and negatives that also pretends that it doesn't make mistakes?

Hemlock Autumn (@hemlockautumn.bsky.social) reply parent
There is no such thing as "ai"... So the "no true Scotsman" route is not the way to go at all.
Hemlock Autumn (@hemlockautumn.bsky.social) reply parent
But the question of "what's the bloody point of it" remains. "Use it only alongside another tool and check additionally" increases the time spent on it, doesn't decrease it.
Hemlock Autumn (@hemlockautumn.bsky.social) reply parent
If the information you get is unreliable, then you have to retest and can lead to a daisy chain of mistakes. This is not a necessary tool... This is an attempt of useful-wash "ai".

One of the recurring conversations I had with studios at Gamescom is when they tried it, generative AI was often a terrible fit for real production workflows. Iterating on assets was time consuming, getting the right prompts to address basic details a chore, and wasn't worth changing approach for.

I don't get how people don't realize that a technology that replaces junior and entry level positions in a field destroys that field. There's no skipping steps. You have to be a junior before you can be a senior, and if you don't have senior people, you don't have a field.
