  • Y’know, when I was a kid growing up and reading Dune for the first time, I thought the Butlerian Jihad was such a silly concept. Why would we as a species go on a crusade against AI so powerful that it would remain banned thousands of years later, especially in a setting that could really use AI assistance to handle space travel?

    Now? I get it, and that kinda total societal rejection of AI as a concept seems to kinda be what Mike was talking towards. We need a Butlerian Jihad.













  • I dunno if it really counts, because these days I play Diablo 2 Resurrected instead of the real OG, but god I still love Diablo 2. I was playing a Druid Maul build a little bit just last weekend in anticipation of Path of Exile 2 adding animal transformations. It’s just one of those classic Blizzard titles I go back to at least once every year, alongside Warcraft 3 and Starcraft. They’re like the triumvirate of my childhood nostalgia.

    Wish the company wasn’t so awful.
