- Comment on Assassin's Creed Shadows' backlash reportedly corporately canonised by Ubisoft as a victory for being "more of a video game than a message" 1 week ago:
They’re pointing out the objective fact that a large portion of the “influencers” that peddle this rage bait are just in it because right wing chuds still need something to be angry about after the mainstream realized that gamergate was actually just a targeted harassment campaign.

- Comment on OpenAI Says Hundreds of Thousands of ChatGPT Users May Show Signs of Manic or Psychotic Crisis Every Week 2 weeks ago:
It’s extrapolated from their own user count:

The company’s estimates therefore suggest that every seven days, around 560,000 people may be exchanging messages with ChatGPT that indicate they are experiencing mania or psychosis. About 2.4 million more are possibly expressing suicidal ideations or prioritizing talking to ChatGPT over their loved ones, school, or work.
