The Cult of AI ( www.rollingstone.com )

...“We believe Artificial Intelligence can save lives – if we let it. Medicine, among many other fields, is in the stone age compared to what we can achieve with joined human and machine intelligence working on new cures. There are scores of common causes of death that can be fixed with AI, from car crashes to pandemics to...

Mmmmm nice to know the AI got halfway through the article before giving up.

Marc Andreessen’s “Techno-Optimist Manifesto” Is Just Old-School Reactionary Elitism ( jacobin.com )

In earlier eras, the manifesto was an important organ of radical political and aesthetic movements; prominent examples in the history of the genre include of course those of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, André Breton, or, more recent, the Dogme 95 group. These days, in which radical political ideas of the Left or the Right...

Why is Freelancer still the best? ( slrpnk.net )

I was playing some Everspace 2 and while it sure is pretty and feels pretty good there was something lacking that I couldn’t quite put my finger on. I’m only 20 hours or so into it but I just felt like it wasn’t quite living up to my memories of Freelancer....

I’ve sunk about 180 hours into Elite Dangerous. I do genuinely enjoy it and the passive MMO stuff. It’s a cool community but for me the space exploration is too much of a sim to really fall in love with, and I hate that the story as much as there is one with the Thargoids etc, is so passive. But it’s so big and ambitious and deep that it’s really impressive. I’m sure I’d give Star Citizen a chance if there was anything to play through but it seems even more empty than Elite.
