Ewoks, some of the most despised inhabitants of the Star Wars universe, are the only ones who use multi-domain operations in any of the movies: indirect fire, offensive obstacles, close air support, ground attack, psyop, and information operations. https://t.co/L0A9KptE5u

It's your job as a player to figure out why your character gives a shit about the plot/group/quest.

"It's what my character would do" is not an excuse to derail/refuse to participate https://t.co/8PsEqXKJ7p

“Show don’t tell” is bad advice, it turns the narrator into a camera, it should really be “perceive don’t describe.” Filter sense through a character so we learn what’s important to the character and what they notice

My generation is going to talk about the early days of the Internet the way Boomers talk about the 50s & it’s going to be gross the way we fall into the same trap they did:

Assuming that the good old days of the world somehow magically align with the good old days of our youths

Machine learning is a bit like cocaine in the 1880s:

- been used in a weaker form for centuries
- some surprisingly successful early applications led to it now being over-prescribed
- beginning to understand that performance degrades after repeated use, negative feedback loops

Just popping in to remind you that neither your life nor your career is an escalator, a steady and measured journey that takes you in a promised straight line, ever moving higher. They're more like a bounce house. Up, down, sideways, a moment's rest, a kick in the head, chaos.
