Look how long it took Team Cherry to make Silksong, and look what we got for it. Maybe this is a sign that ES6 will be a masterpiece and won’t be a buggy mess propped up by a rampant modding community willing to put in the work to fix it all.

Fair enough.

No more paywall.

I could have sworn that it also included language that applied the tax if they leave the state, too, but even if that’s incorrect, who cares? Let them move. The more states that do something like this, the less places they’ll have as “safe havens” and if they move out of the country, cool, again, let them. It sends a clear message: If you won’t pay your share, we don’t want you here.

Once everyone collectively agrees that billionaires should pay their share, there will be nowhere left for them to run. It has to start somewhere.

There’s obviously a huge difference there. Video game NPC AI is closer to a complex flowchart than to genAI, at least traditionally - who knows what’s coming in the near future.

I’m not sure if you were being unreasonable by drawing the comparison (or by using the false comparison to intentionally instigate) or if they were being unreasonable by equating the two and banning you, but someone was.

If they didn’t use AI and instead actively choice to terminate workers with disabilities and medical problems unfairly, that seems almost worse. Like, they’re just admitting to discrimination, aren’t they?

It’s like being accused of exercising poor gun safety leading to someone’s death and saying, “I exercise perfect gun safety, I actively chose to shoot them!”

I’d argue it’s only useful when you have more than two data points. With only two, it’s almost always going to be misleading in some way at a glance.

It didn’t even make sense as a political move. I’d wager most MAGA folks had never heard of USAID or knew what they did, and it was at least helping the US’ reputation on the world stage.

Obviously the real value is the good it was doing all over the world, but for the Trump admin that couldn’t care less about that, it still made no sense to axe it.

Outrage? We’re just discussing it, mate…

They specifically advertise it as an “upgradable alternative to the Steam Machine”; with that in mind, assuming the name isn’t intended to evoke comparisons to Steam Machine is kind of ridiculous, no?

To what end? The republicans have been trying to kill the USPS for a very long time.

Rather than re-allocating their money across every human on earth, why not allocate it inversely proportional to the net worth of the recipient (and maybe also local currency conversion rate), to uplift the poorest folks?

Could probably choose a lower number, too - say, $100M. Nobody needs anywhere remotely close to that.

He and his friends made gobs of money insider trading on oil prices, so there’s that.

If it came out that every single US military loss in this conflict had been Israel’s doing, I feel like republicans would somehow still justify being their unconditional allies.

Not to mention, some companies right now are abusing interview candidates to get free work with “trial project” type assignments, or “How would you fix this problem, if you were hired?” type of free consultations. If some candidates abused the companies in return, I’d call that fair play.

If only they had voted for the candidates who wanted a strong social safety net, rather than the ones that wanted to fuck everyone who isn’t part of the 0.1%, maybe they wouldn’t have to worry now…

The fact that they’re pushing for AI to be a utility when the fucking internet isn’t is just absurd.

God, it makes the new models look so much worse when you put them next to the old ones like that.

There’s an old joke that uses this premise.

President Bush was briefed on the war this morning. He was told that 3 Brazilian solders were killed in Iraq.

To everyone’s amazement, all the color drained from the President’s face, then he collapsed onto his desk, head in hands, visibly shaken, almost in tears.

Finally, he composed himself and asked, “Just exactly how many is a Brazilian?”

The word ‘terrorist’ has lost all meaning at this point.
