• Deeply, deeply unserious.

  That’s what the US is now.

• Yep. I buy every game I can on GOG.

• SK Hynix has strong incentives to say this. It’s an unremarkable statement.

• Nothing new. This is the same bullshit legal framework that underpins the entire software industry and extends back to the mid 90s. It’s just front-and-center in games now because the industry has transitioned from a growth industry to a mature one wherein producers need to extract more revenue per user and predictably enshittify their platforms to do so.

  I’ve basically decided that I will not buy any game that I cannot play offline. If I do a buy game, I will also pirate it to ensure continued access. If I can’t pirate it, I won’t buy it.

  Fuck em.

• Good.

  Americans are left with such a terrible, enshittified digital information economy that we must entertain even our enemies for alternatives.

• Even if I agreed that such export controls were of significant strategic importance, I don’t think it’s worth applying extreme pressure to our allies to accomplish it. The notion that China can’t innovate becomes less true by the year.

  The AI build out is an engineering disaster. China will catch up irrespective of what controls we apply to inhibit them. If we can’t out-compete them, then we lose.

  It would probably be much easier to out-compete them if we weren’t actively destroying the greatest network of alliances in human history. We’re fucking morons.

• I just don’t use AI at all for this. I only use it for formatting my code, auditing my code, and research (that I verify). I would never use it for communication.

  Don’t get me wrong. We do indeed live in a dystopia. But Mv3 ad blockers seem to be effective–for now at least.
