Chaotic Entropy

Well the tagline is bullshit editorialising, yeah.

Gem quality materials are overall “rare”, but among gems… diamonds are practically common.

Well that doesn’t mean it isn’t listening. Waiting for the day.

Stealth Bomber Jacket.

Mmm… you could even say that some people have a crippling predisposition towards surprises.

Gamesradar’s budget is not what it was.

It’s nice of Firefox to confirm that the mission has been accomplished.

Companies seek to monopolise skill and knowledge within these AI and encourage people to know nothing and pay them for skills/knowledge instead. This can only end poorly when it becomes uneconomical to provide this service to consumers but has also made those consumers devoid of skills/knowledge.

I mean… Zuck’s claim to fame is that he made a basic site with some other dudes to rate the attractiveness of women. That’s it, that’s the big idea… other people and investors made Facebook/Meta what it is. It couldn’t be more clear that Zuck is just along for the ride and he is desperate to prove otherwise.

Must still be practicing.

The government? Whoever is the highest bidder for all the data being gathered. Probably Palantir, as ever.

A producer hates their performers? Say it ain’t so.

I played a thousand or two hours of Skyrim… never completed the main quest… but it was always there as an objective that I was maybe heading towards. Elder Scrolls have usually struck a good balance between “here is a big world to wander around” and “here are some key objectives and narratives to drive you forwards”.

Sure, that’s not to dismiss the valuable work and high effort you’re putting in to having these conversations that otherwise wouldn’t happen.

I can’t stand open worlds with no clear goals, the shine quickly wears off the world itself and I’m just left wondering what I would even want to do it. Mile wide, inch deep content deserts just switch me off immediately.

I play games to escape the purposelessness of life, not simulate it.

MOST users have the exact same concerns

Yeah… no, most users do not concern themselves with these things. Most users are focused on the tasks and not the tools, for better or worse.

You could argue that an increasing number of users do, but most is way too far.

Everyone was so in love with the idea of a new world order and an illuminati that Thiel and friends decided to become it.

Nothing should be a clearer indication that the death penalty should not exist than lunatics like him controlling it.

Was that unclear…?

I don’t particularly agree with their conflict of interest comment on the quote, no. I guess it could be said that interviewing individuals that you have a personal relationship with could be a conflict around expectations of unbiased article writing, but this isn’t exactly the New York Times.
