Yup, that’s how you get cops who can’t even fathom what “de-escalation” means

That makes sense, and my comment isn’t to tell people not to protest, it’s just to defend people being smart. This is game theory. Know what the opponent is doing. We hope for universal altruism and rational empathy but instead we have this, so people can be smart about protecting themselves while also protesting. Protesting is the altruism, but I would argue that “Can’t deport or kill everyone.” could be worded as “I will kill or deport everyone who disagrees” and that is certainly not the first time in history someone has thought that and only through massive amounts of death and suffering has that been stopped during those moments, so hopefully we can get smarter about stopping it with less of that.

I’ve got nipples, Greg.

Do you think because they are nonviolent protests you are not going into a Palantir database that is categorizing you based on Peter Thiel wanting https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Enlightenment and therefore trying to tee up global collapse so he can be a technofuedalist king who will not hesitate to just blacklist someone because they showed up for an event against the fascism he wants for himself? And at that point there are no laws to what “blacklist” means, even worse than “Deny, Deport, Disappear”?

Yeah lol they also have a literal self destruct that will destroy the fab process in case of Chinese (or other) invasion corporate or national

Yup

Not to mention generally enterprise devs aren’t beholden to public launch dates set externally by publishers and therefore end up burning out really fast trying to make a deliverable happen. Not saying that doesn’t happen elsewhere in software, but it’s really common in the games industry

Even more ironic “betting industry consultant.” Literally works in an obsessive “get rich quick” industry and is mad someone wants to get paid

Yup, their latent wealth grows faster than what they borrow to use as actual spending, they literally don’t spend money, they accumulate it

Yeah pretty sure the real point they’re saying this now is so that ICE can black bag people with a real ID not carrying their passport. Only a matter of time until that can’t be verified too.

Yes, but only some PMs will get what that means. Metaphors are easier to explain than “go read this book”

Oh I did not get that reference, thanks for sharing and fuck him

Well the Republican way is carrying the baby to term so that it becomes more meat for the machine, we need those disposable workers and consumption machines, not supporting the parents or baby after it’s born is part of the point

Depending on the holes you count that’s anywhere between two and seven wolves needed, but my math could be off

I think he’d be alright with it

Also this is teams and teams of people, from different nations, organizations, all working on his messaging. Don’t for a second forget this is dark enlightenment, heritage foundation, maybe Russia too, he’s a puppet and someone put in his place from that same group of mixed but related goals will be either the same or worse

Yeah the idea that Disney wasn’t already building their own AI shit to just pump out trash content, especially to improve costs on voice acting and render farms is pretty wild. What’s happened at this point is

1. They’re worried about the bubble collapse, when a ceiling is reached that there’s no way this is more profitable
2. They don’t have the time/money to fund bigger and and bigger server farms in an increasingly competitive space and it’s cheaper to just align with OpenAI for now.
3. They’re hoping when number 1 happens they just scoop up number 2. People will stop using AI for their daily life stuff. People won’t stop taking their kids to see the lion king 9 or whatever

Remember, if you’re brown and get accused of doing that, fat dudes pretending to be tactical black bag you. If you’re a rich celebrity and literally do that, people just laugh and it’s ok

Or even just a new DM in general. The whole thing is a group activity for mutual enjoyment. I ran a cyberpunk red campaign as the GM with 6 players for like a year, and it was my first time DM/GMing in general, and it was also a brand new system at the time. Everyone was very forgiving, lax and then serious in the story when it mattered. I certainly would have quit if people were assholes because my math wasn’t there or I had to flip pages to figure out like fire damage calculations without having them bookmarked or whatever
