Russia complaining that the US sells too many weapons is an awkward line when the AK platform is the universal symbol for armed conflict across the globe.

I don't think anything in the report is new, is it? Isn't this the exact weirdness that got him kicked off the board in the first place? I was shocked when he was quietly added back to the board; I really thought the allegations would stick the first time.

Nice to have it all in one place though.

fair share of doomsday rats have sneaked in trying to co-opt the movement

There's a group called "Pause AI" that is exactly this, EA funded (iirc) org trying to astroturf artists against AIart.

The article on GamerGate is also awesome, but my favorite part is probably that it contains the very best article about Trump you're ever going to read.

“Real” musicians turned their nose up at digital music when it first came out

You got any evidence for that? What do you even mean by "digital music?" That's not a category I think musicians recognize. You may he confusing digital with electric which was not exactly as you're describing it.

The Irish discourse in race nu-uh ism. Like yeah, white people did some shit to the Irish. But then the Irish got upgraded to White status. The exact boundary of what we consider 'white' has changed and imposing it retroactively on historical figures and trying to imagine a unified 'white culture' of the pre-colonial world is silly.

Like if you want to be proud of your euro heritage, great, get some flags and learn to cook your favorite old country dish. But if you conceptualize it as this grand unified 'white heritage', we can see the klan hood.

Fooling EAs is a lot easier and less risky than fooling the IRS.

This is a 60 minute post. Nobody proofread this. They're hoping few people will read the whole thing, and they're probably right.

It almost reads as a threat... 'don't stop our gravy train, or we'll lash out and reveal what we know!'

End of all value is different from earth go explody. They're fine with earth go explody as long as there's a second, slightly larger earth to replace it with more value.
