These fucking dumb assholes literally looked at a decade of anxiety around killer computers with no safeguards and access to war decisions and instead of going "wow we should avoid this" these stupid fucking pricks went "THAT'S A GREAT IDEA, IT WILL GET ME BACK TO GOLFING FASTER"!

JUST FUCK!

It's not like I'm holding my breath on people being held accountable in the first place but this is very quickly going to give any chud who has AI assisting them a free ticket to just do evil shit and claim the AI told them to.

This is fucking grim.

You can't pass the buck to a fucking computer!

Tech execs need to be sent to the hague. This is not me being extreme or hyperbolic, they need to face consequences.

"I built a system without accountability" means you are accountable.

Actually fuck this explanation man.

Not knocking the author but this is literally just "I was only following orders" with the guard rails completely removed because there isn't even a person giving the orders to go after.

The fact that they are pretending no one approved the decision is damming.

Goggle map of the strait region with topography turned on. Note the mountain regions and the limited number of roads. https://www.google.com/maps/@25.3337822,56.0678839,207243m/data=!3m1!1e3?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI2MDMwOS4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D

Like you maybe have 3 viable roads.

The amount of trucks you would need to transport a tanker's worth of fuel would be massive.

A lot of said roads are through thin mountain passes.

Nation lines/relationships not withstanding this is something that could be blocked by 4 dudes and a big rock.

I would say "RTS Brain logic" but no, even someone who played any level of RTS game understands that unloading and leading a convoy of undefended resource trucks through a vast and open area (never mind they you know terrain, country lines, that stuff) is just asking for an incident to happen.

There is a million candidates that go "Working class voters!" but never did it occur to them that maybe, just maybe, you should make it easier for working class people to vote (though really that's the game in a nutshell)

One thing that would be really cool is if it was you know, an actual holiday (even a half day) on voting days with polls open extra late for people who work night shift.

I personally remember having to trudge through slush last year to vote in my local election and then having to go to work.

Like I know we are throwing around "everyone is 12 now" but even as a 12 year old growing up in the 90s / early 2000s I had a vague idea in RTS games and reading history that leaving your resources gathering / transport units unguarded was a bad fucking idea.

This is just embarrassing.

Even if I was being incredibly charitable and suspending all disbelief in regards to logistics, terrain, efficiency, and employees safety this would be a trick that would work exactly once before you got drones or patrols just bombing fuel trucks.

Like God these people are stupid.

The 3 genders

me and the other scheming viziers are wearing shoes gifted to us by the king that are way too big. we look ridiculous. the whole court is laughing at us behind our backs. honestly this is a pretty low point for us, the scheming viziers

5 Calls Spend 5 minutes. Make 5 calls. Make your voice heard.

This one escaped containment, and I don't have a lot to plug, uh...

Use 5calls.org - it makes hassling your representatives easy with scripts and quick phone numbers for *your* reps.

And after making some calls, maybe paint something to unwind. It's fun and thereputic.

Without reading at the moment im personally calling it that they asked an AI if they target was good, the AI said yes and they just went with that.

If that's the actual case then the people who took that info and made that call need to be strung up.

It would be more helpful for people to keep quiet and donate even $10 or $20 bucks to a trans person than it would be to keep waxing on poetically about how "brave" all the LGBTQ+ people are.

Saying "You're so brave" doesn't buy a fucking meal for a person or pay the rent.

What's frustrating about the "Oh you're so brave" talk is that it's self defeating and basically signalling to go "Yeah good luck with that not my fight"

My fiance or friends shouldn't need to be brave, they should just be allowed to live their lives and others should mind their business.

The troubles

More than anything I'm mostly confused as to why and how it escalated to such a level that it did.

Normally stuff like that either gets massive community support or people just ignore it.

Trump saying "don't mine the strait!" Is like the international equlivent of "mods mods, ban that guy I spilled my juice!"

Lamo, everything is fucking direct deposit now! Even when I got paid with a cheque from work I can just scan that fucker

there is an extremely long list of people who need to be held accountable in the next administration but sending the DOGE boys to big boy jail needs to be near the top of the list

Considering the recent doxxing fiasco?

Yeah.

Especially if you study ARG projects like Shipwrecked 64 what sets it apart is not that it's weird or creepy or unnerving but that it has a logical and followable through line for the whole thing and it's believable even by real world logic.

An AI can't replicate that.

The whole idea is miread by people not realizing that it takes an artist to turn a mistake or blemish into part of the vision.

If things just don't even have internal consistency then it's a major fucking turnoff when playing your game.

Even weird reality breaking stuff has internal consistency.

Too many people listened to that one Half Life 2 commentary track about the chopper gunship bombing run originally being a bug and decided that everything in gaming is just a bug turned into a feature instead of finely crafted moments to build a living breathing world.

I really want Jay to try and sit down and read House of Leaves.

You want a non-liner book so badly? Here you fucking go you moron.

Good luck figuring that one out you amoeba brained idiot.

Reposting this banger

Hate that a bunch of crypto-fash types turned what was a niche way for Hollywood celebs and big wigs to dodge responsibility for abuse into a more mainstream pseudoscience trend.

Dudes will literally pay a grifter to track their jerk sessions instead of going to therapy.

You know that you can just, like, not pay a grifter, jerk off and not tell anyone right?

If you DO want to tell people you could just, record yourself doing it and throw it on porn hub.

No one is going to judge you, infact you are probably going to get a dozen comments going "Nice cock"
