I disagree that the Las Vegas Streip needs to be saved in the first place. It's a giant tourist trap surrounded by addiction and economic depression.
What authentic culture does exist in Las Vegas is all downtown, which is actually pretty walkable.

Yeah, this take isn't really exclusive to AI either, luxury products have always involved the best artists and artisans. Generative AI is just exposing the soullessness that has always existed but was masked by underpaid human artists.
Weird I have the same version.
Is this a beta version? I have the latest FF mobile but my interface looks different than this...
EDIT: I found a way to change to it in the "secret settings" menu (tap FF logo a bunch of times in "settings > about firefox")
Falls suggests that people don’t seem to believe librarians when they explain that a given record doesn’t exist
This happened to me at my job, someone called in asking about something that didn't exist and never did, and insisted with me that I was mistaken when I said we didn't have it. When I asked where they got their information they said "ChatGPT" and when I suggested GPT was hallucinating they didn't seem to understand the term.
Having that exchange IRL with a real human bring honestly kind of shook me up.
That's better put than I did 😂
Ah yeah that's a good point. I think "gamers" used to be a more distinct group with a more distinct identity, nowadays it's like saying "moviegoer".
Ed frequently comes off like a guy ranting outside the gas station but goddamn is it hard to find an issue with with his conclusions.
After Silksong, Lethal Company and Content Warning were my two most played games in 2025.
I agree that calling these low-poly multiplayer games "slop" is terrible, because there is clearly a ton of love and effort poured into them. I hope the name doesn't catch on.
Yeah, I mentioned this elsewhere too but she’s actually remained pretty ideologically consistent (terrible but consistent) in her brief political career. From her perspective, it's Trump that moved away from her (or at least revealed himself to be away from her) politically.
While I am no fan of the Times and absolutely don't think that she deserves a big splashy feature on their front page, it truly wasn't a puff piece and definitely not sanewashing. Here are a few examples:
“Robert,” she replied with a searching look, “do you really think Joe Biden got 81 million votes without even campaigning?” “Yes,” I said. “They counted all the votes. That was the final tally. Why wouldn’t I believe it?” The look she then gave me, which I will never forget, was one of bottomless pity.
And
Just outside the front door of her office stood the familiar placard blaring, “There are TWO genders: MALE & FEMALE.”
And
Trump, she claims, was bothered by her steadfast opposition to abortion, which she has called “murder.”
And
[...]she continued to characterize Trump’s Democratic opponents, and their positions, in the direst of terms: “radical communist Kamala Harris,” “the perverted trans agenda against children that is an attack directly on God’s creation,” “the party of pedophiles.”
As the article OP posted said, she has said many other even more batshit things that should not be forgotten but that's not really what the Times piece was about (it was about her fight with Trump).
Thankfully most of the top games of 2025 run great on a 4060.
