    This is very on brand. Definitely worth clicking on and watching. A visual artist has made a very realistic version of the Scottish town of Paisley and for me this is mana. I saw a quote by the artist how he felt he was cheating making it dark and rainy because that makes everything look…

    This is a very fun game based on the Paperclip Maximiser concept. If you like that sort of thing… https://www.decisionproblem.com/paperclips/index2.html It’s based on the Nick Bostrom thought experiment to terrify yourself about AI. So briefly the story is that humans design an AI to make paperclips as efficiently as possible, but accidentally make it a…

Just out of sightDrifting off to sleep. Don’t fight it. There’s nothing left in this world for us.When it gets cold. The cold gets inside of you.…

    Ok I can’t go on, I must go on Almost there. Personal note about the album, this is the only one that I didn’t like when i t came out. I have only heard it once. I can’t believe it was released in 2011 I thought it was around 2016 Everyone ripped on it when…
