The real game was the experience you had along the way.

The big counterpoint to this: PRC analysts have noted in various fora that we're more aggressive/successful at leadership decapitation strikes than they'd expected. "You win Taiwan, but the top 3 layers of your leadership all die" isn't that attractive a trade for Xi I'm guessing

Latest piece in @TheAtlantic . What we are seeing from the US strategically, diplomatically and militarily in the war against Iran is probably making it clear to China that the US lack the ability to effectively fight a war in the Western Pacific. US shortcomings are glaring. theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/04/…

@sakaimii Since the word “name” already means something else in English, wouldn’t it be easier to just call them storyboards?

@Noahpinion I think one of the most important concerns about a pause is not this, but that an authoritarian/rogue government ends up with more powerful AI, with potentially devastating consequences for everyone else.

Well, yes, if someone vibe-coded a doomsday virus and destroyed civilization, that would be bad. On the other hand, regulation of such an important technology would reduce GDP growth somewhat, so this is really a hard tradeoff to think about
Kevin A. Bryan@Afinetheorem

AI safety is really important. As Dean notes. "pause AI" would be devastating ("the letter" is ridiculous in retrospect). But also, if some developer open sources a model sufficiently powerful, it gets jailbroken, and a pandemic virus is synthesized by a rando, unacceptable. 1/2

@_wholesomegames @RaccoinGame This is a cool game and I'm all for promoting indies but... this game doesn't seem wholesome, uplifting, thoughtful, compasionate or cozy in any way... If everything is "wholesome" then nothing is.

Do you remember arcade coin pushers? RACCOIN blends that kind of chaotic fun with roguelike deckbuilding. Combine special coins with powerful items to trigger huge combos. Stack shiny towers, spin the lucky wheel, and shake the machine until all the coins drop.

That said, some form of interstellar expansion in the next 1000 years, I wouldn't rule out. Maybe it has Dyson Spheres. Maybe it involves physics we don't know yet. Maybe it doesn't involve live humans but genetic material that is used to grow a human colony at the destination.

@BriannaWu It’s really sad that the progressive movement, which was well-intentioned at the beginning and had real grievances, turned into the caricature of itself that the right-wing pushed starting with GamerGate.

Es una pena que con esta noticia se pretenda empaña el logro real que sí tuvo César Leal al ganar medalla de plata 🥈 en el International Youth Math Challenge 2026. Venezuela sí ha ganado medallas individuales en la IMO en otros años.

Señores, esta noticia que ya hay cuentas grandes replicando es FALSA. No existe la IMO Vietnam 2026. Si se fijan bien las etiquetas con los supuestos nombres de los participantes ni siquiera son consistentes.

@InciarteManuel Lamento mucho decir que esto es muy probablemente una noticia falsa. No existe la IOM Vietnam 2026. Además, las etiquetas de misma imagen son inconsistentes y están incompletas.

@CaracasChron This article only tells the start of the story. One of the hottest gamedev companies in Latin America is a studio that was founded in Venezuela but forced off the country by this very law.

Trump has been using Call of Duty for propaganda. It's no secret that these video games are a tool for American (not always soft) power. Mercenaries 2, a 2008 game set in Venezuela, was met with a Chávez ban. The story didn't end there👇 caracaschronicles.com/2026/03/21/the…

@Noahpinion Most guys just need someone to coach them and give them no-BS feedback (important!) and advice. Nowadays resources like Healthy Gamer can help.

Some things all incels should realize: 1. There is no single answer to "what women want". Different women like all kinds of different things. There are a few things that lots of women want, and guys tend to focus on those few things. But these are only part of what women care about -- sometimes a surprisingly small part. The rest is very bespoke and often kind of weird. "There's somebody for everybody" isn't literally true, but it's kinda true. 2. One thing lots of women want from a man is companionship, and this has nothing to do with status or looks or money. This is why basically any guy can get a girlfriend. Sure, being hot and popular makes it easier, but it's very possible for basically any guy. 3. One thing most women want is a guy who's good in bed. Basically any guy can become good in bed, through practice and paying attention and caring about their partner(s). 4. Incel ideas are not new. They are not recent reactions to dating apps or wokeness; they are very very old expressions of male sexual frustration. You can read guys saying very similar things throughout history. And yet in recent centuries, almost all men managed to reproduce. 5. It's natural to want to get together with the boys and complain about women. It's a male bonding activity. Women do the same thing when they get together and complain about men. Just remember that this sort of bullshit, where you bash the other gender for being a bunch of hos or shallow or whatever, is for same-sex friendship bonding; it doesn't reflect reality. Most women, like most men, are basically good people. 6. As a man, it's important to think about what you want from women. Lots of guys assume they want to be a chad who bangs all the girls. And for some people that lifestyle is fun and fulfilling. But most guys wouldn't actually be happy with that. So just because every girl on the block isn't lining up to bang you doesn't mean you're a loser. 7. The media, which includes social media and influencers and so on, is always trying to sell you bullshit -- you're not hot enough, you're not rich enough, etc. -- in order to get your eyeballs and clicks and if possible your dollars. The media does not have your best interests in mind. The media does not want you to know how easy it is to live a pretty good, normal life, because if you knew, you would just go do it, and you'd stop paying attention to the media. (Why am I different? Why will I tell you the truth? Because I get clicks and eyeballs from talking about economics. I don't need to be a lifestyle influencer or self-help guy. I am only writing this long-ass tweet in order to procrastinate doing my actual job. Take it or leave it, but I'm right about all of this.)

@tommysantos14 A literal apocalyptic clusterfuck. Diehards will need to see the country literally devastated and have their lives personally ruined before admitting they were wrong. I’m from Venezuela, I speak from experience.

Serious question: What kind of apocalyptic clusterfuck has to happen to this country for MAGA diehards to abandon Donald Trump? Or is there no bottom and they’re programmed to go down with the ship?

@leehagaman1 @Noahpinion LLMs and any other forms of artificial intelligence that rely on huge amounts of human-generated data are highly likely to imitate human intelligence in very significant ways.
