@RealGameHistory @1GamewithDave1 There aren’t any political games, grandpa.

@SamuelF32757 @TheIroncane @hayasaka_aryan What is that reference? Do you think because you play a woman that the game won’t be riddled with indiscriminate murder?

@Kotaku Destiny was a lot of fun, but the live service model has been a plague on gaming.

[CONSEQUENCE @consequence]

Ronny Chieng had one message for Harvard grads during his commencement speech: destroy AI.

"Look, a lot of other respected graduation speakers in colleges around America are talking about you guys needing to master AI for the future. I'm here to tell you the mission of your generation is to destroy AI...

"And I know, I know there's someone sitting out here right now who’s just like, 'Well, you know, what about the use of AI to pioneer breakthroughs in medicine and physics?' Well, first of all, shut up, nerd. I'm not talking about that. Obviously, if you're using it for that purpose, you're not the problem.

"I'm talking about the accumulation of cognitive debt due to excessive use of large language models according to a study by MIT published in 2025. That's right, MIT. MIT did that study. I guess you guys were too busy giving each other A's. Feel free to boo MIT, by the way, and AI, and yourselves, I guess.

"Look, this is actually good news, okay? This is why you guys shouldn't be scared of AI, because I think AI is just going to end up making mediocre people dumber. Have you heard how dumb people brag about how they use AI? They're always like, 'Hey, did you know that AI can now read my email, summarize it, and drop a response?' Yeah, you know who else can do that? Me. I can do that. You can't do that? How useless are you? You need artificial intelligence just to match me? I'm a dumb*ss who couldn't get into Harvard.

"From what I can see, getting an actual advantage from AI in the future will require a minimum escape velocity of intelligence that I'm assuming you guys from Harvard have. Everyone else who can't match that is just going to get dumber, and that's when you run up the score on them, assuming we still have a functioning society, of course.

"But to run up the score, you’re going to have to master your craft. And AI can be the fuel, but fuel is useless if you can't kindle the fire. For example, I recently used AI to use regression analysis to prove that a certain race of people are mathematically terrible at sports. I won't say which race, but thank you for not inviting Hasan Minhaj to Harvard. My point is, learning the fundamentals still matter. If I didn't know what a regression analysis was, and if I wasn't fundamentally racist, would I have been able to do any of that? No.

"Untalented people love bragging about using AI to help them draft their speeches and their scripts and their podcasts and their promo videos for UFC fights at the White House, which to be fair, even if they had filmed that for real, it would still have looked like AI. But what they're missing is this: the creating is the fun part. The best part of comedy writing is figuring out the puzzle pieces of a joke and getting the self-regard from having accomplished a difficult thing. Why would I want AI to take that away from me?

"You know what problem I want AI to solve? I want the problem of AI making everything look like sh*t. I want AI to solve that problem. How about that?

"Or how about, can AI take away the part of comedy writing where my TV pilot gets passed on and when I ask if I can pitch it to someone else, the network says, 'We don't want it, but we also don't want anyone else to have it. We just want you to be sad.' Can AI solve that?

"I recently tried to introduce my friend to Buddhism through a book called Buddhism Made Simple. It was literally a book about Buddhism made simple. And instead of reading it, he used AI to summarize it in 10 seconds. Believe it or not, he didn't reach enlightenment. It turns out speed running Buddhism is completely missing the point.

"And I know this platitude is almost worthy of AI, but the reason shortcuts to skip to the end aren't always good is because the journey isn't just how we acquire skills. The journey is the point of all this. It is! It turns out maybe the real Harvard was the friends we made along the way.

"Look, I know this won't apply to everyone's industry, but I'm just saying whatever your chosen profession is, please don't let AI rob you of the fun part of it.

"I think your generation's upcoming battle won't be humans against AI. That's at least two months away. It's going to be people with substance versus people with shallow knowledge. It’s going to be mastery versus faking it. It's going to be people with good taste versus tacky. I trust you will put in the work necessary to be on the right side of those battles."

@keyfipyIasimIar Very cute, but if there was any garlic in the making of that sauce, dog will not live long.

@ILucasK Someone should let him know that he doesn’t have a problem with X. He has a problem with social media addiction and crushing loneliness.

[Joe @samwisekitsch]

@atrupar Donald Trump is only interested in Donald Trump.

[Joe @samwisekitsch]

@jondelarroz @GriftGod_ Embarrassing

[j aubrey 🤠 @jaubreyYT]

You are describing Donald Trump

[Joe @samwisekitsch]

Ya, I don’t mean to suggest it’s a new thing, but I don’t believe he was always crazy. I think constantly misrepresenting reality and then being validated by lonely, purposeless gamers pushed the grift so far that he stopped being able to track the lies and sorta descended into delusion to protect his ego, like a cult leader or a tech CEO.

@AshenedPunk Begging for engagement is only a small part of Yorch’s comprehensive low effort social media strategy.

bob ross only wanted you to try, not be a technical master

[Joe @samwisekitsch]

@nomadicreply @TheMG3D People are talking about it because it’s embarrassing

[Joe @samwisekitsch]

@antlerqu33r @kphen76 @lmkifiwin ROI of a Disney flick like that isn’t a good measure. Their movies are gateways to other revenue streams so while tickets are one part of success, it t is also tied to converting a moviegoer to a toy buyer to a park visitor, generating awareness and/or interest in related IP, etc

[Joe @samwisekitsch]

@TheMG3D It’s a great laugh whenever these dipshits try to break down industry financials.

@memechaotic Ngl, this makes me miss working on site.
