I thought you were jokingly rephrasing a quote, but no that’s actually the very first paragraph jfc

That’s called hiring a team of developers. I believe this would fall under the term producer depending on the situation? If he paid a team of developers and claimed he coded it himself then he’d be called a liar

Now they blame millennials and gen z kids for ruining gaming

And then they switch to everything being a live service so instead of buying games you just have access to the “whole library” of games (for whatever payment tier you’re in) which they will change and remove games without warning and deleting all of your progress unless you pay them at least $20 a month for cloud saves

Oh and the only games in the games library are ai slop vibe coded games that are unplayable carbon copies of each other

I thought one of the “traditional values” these guys love is men being protectors? So he should be thrilled to serve in the military to “defend” his family and the “traditional values” he loves so much

This is what peer review, teacher feedback, and group workshops are for. In college I didn’t need an llm to critique my work. That was the job of my classmates, and mine for their writing. And for those outside of college, you can still just seek out writing circles, either irl or online. It takes some work, but you’ll get better feedback from real humans who can actually feel the emotion in your writing. You can also seek out similar communities for other hobbies. The only reason for someone to pick an ai critique over a human one is convenience and the cost is way too high to justify that

This is beautiful

I’m assuming the peasant messenger boy needs me to read the letter to him bc he’s illiterate, but you don’t need to be literate to look at an illustration unless it has parts labelled? And he’s hoping that the writing makes it important? If its just an illustration tho then I’d call the little peasant messenger boy a fucking idiot for wasting my time

I’m gonna be honest. You kinda sound like a conspiracy theorist. Can you be more specific about what you are talking about? Is this ai doomerism? Like they’re about to become sentient and take over the world? bc if that’s what you’re talking about then no, that isn’t happening. Generative ai cannot become sentient. Its really big autocorrect

Thirding Dropout. I just got it after watching clips on YouTube for months and it’s fucking hilarious. Absolutely worth the money

This is exactly true, but never forget that its by design. It’s not that the majority of humans are hopelessly stupid and only a special few are smart enough to vote for who will actually improve their life. The education system in the usa has been intentionally gutted and people are fed propaganda telling them they deserve to be rich but [insert minority here] is ruining things for them. This same thing has either already started happening in many other countries or is being planned. Remember education is the foundation of democracy. Support and protect your schools

Exactly! It could’ve been so cool!

Obviously non violent resistence is ideal, but ther comes a point where you do have to defend yourself or die. We have the luxury of looking back on history and knowing the progress that was made before we even open a history book, but they were living it, with no guarantees about if things would get better or worse. Given how the usa has treated black people, it absolutely makes sense that they would look at the situation and decide that the best thing to do is arm themselves. And, it worked. The reality is that MLK was as popular and effective as he was bc Malcolm X also existed. Basically, change was coming to the usa and it could either be MLK’s way or Malcolm X’s way. People tend to choose the peaceful option in that situation.

The thing that annoys me the most about this website is that the base idea is cool. A website where kids can play free browser games that are either artistically or gameplay-wise connected to government. Like if they were the kind of games you’d play in a civics class to have fun while you learn about how the government runs and functions. Instead this idea is being ruined by making it partisan and reprehensible

Seriously. Why don’t care about long term plans, just short term profits

You have to instill class consciousness in them, which is extremely difficult to do, especially in the usa bc our public education system in many places lies and says that this is a meritocracy when it’s not. So people believe that if they just work hard and do what they’re told then they’ll get rich. And when that obviously doesn’t happen, the republican party points towards whatever minority group they’ve selected for that election cycle and says “it’s their fault”

Like I said, actually getting people to understand that they have more in common with the poorest, queerest, immigrant than they do with a white cishet billionaire is really difficult, but the best way to do it is to redirect the conversation from minority groups to the actual problem. For example, if someone complains that immigrants are stealing their jobs then don’t start with a denial or disagreeing with them. Say, “you’re right. Companies hiring undocumented immigrants for less than or just minimum wage does depress wages for Americans. Companies that do this should be adequately punished and we should streamline our process for getting documents for undocumented immigrants. That way companies can’t take advantage of them or depress the wages of americans either.” Some people won’t listen bc they don’t want to learn, but if you keep trying eventually some people will listen and learn

Also try to get them to understand just how much money a trillion or even a billion dollars is

Everytime I’m at the bank and see the little pneumatic tubes I’m saddened by the fact that they are not used everywhere

Yeah you see that kinda thing in other professions too. It’s why there are so many predators in the Catholic Church. It gives people power and access to kids/vulnerable people. Combine that with the catholic church’s aversion to dealing with these issues publicly and you have a honeypot for predators

I’m pretty sure there was a study done that found that people with lower incomes tend to spend their extra money on experiences and such (tattoos, games, etc.) rather than save and invest. And they do that bc they figure they aren’t gonna have the money for long so might as well do something enjoyable with the money when they do have some extra. Whereas people who have higher incomes often have some extra money, so they can make plans and invest with the expectation that they will have more extra money later

Certain members of my family would come after me for “causing trouble” if I called someone out like that. They’d be like “you should really deal with that sort of thing privately. Like yes he was in the wrong but you could’ve handled that better.” Luckily, the rest of my family would then go after those certain family members for saying that

Point is, a lot of people were raised with tbe mentality that they need to preserve the family dignity and image and calling out someone for doing something objectively wrong is worse bc it calls even more attention to it. Getting out of that mentality is difficult. Still fucked up tho

Edit for clarity

Like I said, we need to adjust zoning laws so that we can have businesses in those areas so that people don’t need a car in order to access a grocery store. As for putting together a step by step plan, I’m not a city planner, just like you’re presumably not actually working on developing self driving cars. Also like I said, people would still own cars even with walkable communities and would have less traffic to deal with bc fewer drivers on the road. I’m not trying to take away your car

Where I live isn’t a fully walkable 15 minute community but it’s still pretty damn convenient. Within a 20-30 min walk to me we got a grocery store, library, post office, liquor store and breweries, auto shop, and a few small apartment buildings. Other than that it’s mostly just houses. Lots of people have cars but still have access to most daily essentials (aside from their actual place of work) within walking distance. Lots of people in the USA don’t even have a grocery store within a 30 min driving distance, let alone walking distance. That’s the sort of thing that walkable communities aim to fix
