- Comment on I just finished watching Voyager... again 1 month ago:
I like seeing realistically flawed characters in star trek. Not “under alien control” flawed, but “seems to think they’re doing the right thing somehow” flawed. The last couple of seasons of enterprise, where archer did some really dark shit and hand waved the morality with “we’re facing an existential threat!” really hit home during the bush era.

- Comment on Indiana Jones doesn't "endorse" Nazis, Bethesda assure, just in case you were confused by him repeatedly murdering them 3 months ago:
Here’s my problem with wolfenstein. The daat yichud or whatever was a little too close to the secret Jewish cabal that real life Hitler believed/claimed was working behind the scenes manipulating society for is own gains. I don’t think the series is pro Nazi, I’d have to be stupid to believe that, but I feel this particular plot point was a little tone deaf in a historical context.

- Comment on Microsoft inks deal to restart Three Mile Island nuclear reactor to fuel its voracious AI ambitions 5 months ago:
Keep in mind that that was a demo to sell Copilot.
And whether it works as well as they described remains to be seen. However, they did prove that there’s a legitimate use case for generative AI in the office, in most offices. It’s not just a toy.
- Comment on Microsoft inks deal to restart Three Mile Island nuclear reactor to fuel its voracious AI ambitions 5 months ago:
My org’s Microsoft reps gave a demo of their upcoming copilot 365 stuff. It can summarize an email chain, use the transcript of a teams meeting to write a report, generate a PowerPoint of the key parts of that report, and write python code that generates charts and whatnot in excel. Assuming it works as advertised, this is going to be really big in offices. All of that would save a ton of time.
