No, I believe you're a smoker because you implied so in another thread.

goopypoop··on Hypercapitalism and the AI talent wars
What's worth active engagement that isn't worth active design?

If a job's worth doing, it's worth doing, right?

Proc gen makes a dose of art go further by diluting it. Good or bad, it means less of the artist in each bite. Where proc gen is strictly necessary i.e. infinite variation, the focus of the artist will be almost absent on average. If gameplay encourages endless passive consumption, the gamer's focus will dwindle as they're entranced, then time is being spent on an endeavour with a total forebrain excitement value of < 1 human.

A tragic waste when one could be examining one's navel or shouting at traffic.

"In a closed system entropy always goes up

That's the second law, now you know what's up

You can't win, you can't break even, you can't leave the game

Cause entropy will take it all 'though it seems a shame"

-MC Hawking

> Should we go back to static pages and mining Urchin extracts, and guessing what people care about?

Yes absolutely do this please.
