  Avenue Q. Basically a stage production of Muppets for adults.

  I work in IT with end users who average 45-50 years old. I can tell you where that message came from.

  We’ve got users working with sensitive private information who are starting to use tools like ChatGPT and Gemini because their college kids told them they’re helpful for checking writing, or work better than search engines. Our users work remotely and if they decide to take a picture of what they’re working on and feed it into an OCR, there’s not much we can do to stop it. So we need to provide a sanctioned tool that at least gives us some controls over how data is handled and stored (not that Microsoft provides anything vaguely resembling perfect data transit and analysis into Copilot) so we can try to protect sensitive information and our end users as much as possible. Are we happy about having to deploy AI tools? Not even a little bit. I’d be happier if we all just collectively rolled back a few years. But our options are sanctioned tool and policy or failing audits and here we are.

  That’s not what science is, though. Science is about pushing the boundaries of human knowledge. Science isn’t about having a problem and trying to find a solution – that’s engineering, which is informed by science.

  I can wait as long as necessary – just means more time for the factory to grow. Factorio was the best value I’ve ever had out of $30.

  Highly recommend Haven. Has some combat but it’s very minimal and it’s mostly slice of life focused on the romance of a pair of runaways.

  Also a PC gamer and I’ve discovered as I’ve aged, CPU has been more of a bottleneck for me than GPU. Games like Factorio or Path of Exile need a powerful CPU, but their graphics are secondary at best.
