Games, policy, and machine learning. Ideally, all three at once.

My talk at NavyCon 2021 about AI in SciFi and how it's less fictional than we'd like. MAGFest 2022 and NekoCon 2015 talks coming soon!

Done here. Headed to bluesky. Sayonara.

I think it's time for me to be done with games. I've let myself become too passionate about them, they've come to be too much of my self-identity, and it's time to grow up, put the games down, and spend my time on more serious things.

@focusfronting @gabbypascuzzi Some of this is because you used to be able to say overtly offensive things that were easy to recognize as jokes because no one actually believes i.e, that women shouldn't vote, but it turns out...

[Christopher Dailey @Dails08]

@focusfronting @gabbypascuzzi This is a real problem for us wry humor types. Even if a torqued out joke lands with the right people, there will be thousands of people who pick up the pitchfork.

@Clint_Davey1 As a lifelong d&d player, I was primed to like it, but I thought it was just ok. It didn't feel like it had any spirit to me. Id struggle to explain why, but some of it is that having so many characters means the story of each was rushed even moreso than in non ensemble movies.

@ElenaWicker Request for confirmation of understanding

Elon Musk is perhaps the greatest example possible of why STEM education is dangerous without humanities. This sounds like a great idea if you're a middle schooler, but is obviously absurd if you've sat through the first two weeks of a single poli sci class.

[MUSKOSOPHY @muskosophy]

Here's what Elon Musk recommended to govern Mars:

“Direct democracy by the people. Laws must be short, as there is trickery in length. Automatic expiration of rules to prevent death by bureaucracy. Any rule can be removed by 40% of people to overcome inertia. Freedom.”

@cgberube When's the next one??

[Christopher Dailey @Dails08]

To get sufficient levels of totally rad, one must accept a certain level of unhinged.

[Meghann Myers @MeghannMyers_]

Guys, this is unhinged.

@cnast_ @LederGames @colewehrle But your reaction is reasonable.

Assembled the planet breaker and then did the thing. #arcs @LederGames @colewehrle

@cnast_ @LederGames @colewehrle The base game is actually pretty simple; I got Ben and Matt up and playing in five literal minutes. The campaign is... Less simple.

Almost everyone in every government is unelected. Using "unelected" as a pejorative or criticism is a thing stupid people say to sound smart to other stupid people.

[Acyn @Acyn]

Ramaswamy: We want to go in and slash and burn the bureaucracy to help Americans, stimulate the economy and restore self-governance. The people we elect to run the government, they are not even the ones who run the government anymore, it's these unelected bureaucrats

@TychoBrahe Reading Sun Tzu during my officer training, I was struck by how basic it was. It actually says, as genuine advice, "try getting the enemy to think you're doing something you're not." I get that this was cutting edge stuff thousands of years ago, but like

[Christopher Dailey @Dails08]

STEM bros will shit on humanities students and then immediately demonstrate why humanities education is important.

[Christopher Dailey @Dails08]

@aatamkdaddy @yashar This is the opposite of that.

It's his day

@focusfronting The real story is how long it takes Trump to dump Elon. Can't have two main characters in a room.

[Christopher Dailey @Dails08]

@focusfronting Guarantee that's the first time he's ever used that phrase without air quotes.
