If we had some sort of new Nuremberg trial he might die in front of a crowd.

And the people who run this shit need to go to jail. I’m sure a lot of them would rat out their corrupt buddies for a reduced sentence.

They’re not smart or visionary. They’re just rich. They sell us a myth that they’re titans but it’s a lie.

This is a hard hitting point. We could have a better world, but a few rich people and their enablers don’t want it.

I haven’t heard of it being banned. Source and details?

I really don’t understand how so many people are unwilling to be mildly uncomfortable

One of my friends won’t get off Twitter “because that’s where the good memes are”. I’m like ma’am you can live on slightly stale memes.

It just takes one industrious plumber.

I don’t especially want to live in a world full of stochastic terror, but if we’re going to have some I’d prefer billionaires were on the receiving end sometimes.

billionaire could pay off someone’s $500,000 mortgage, their $30,000 car, pay off $50,000, give them $100,000 in cash and forget about it the next day

They could, but they won’t, and that’s part of the problem.

If billionaires walked around clearing people’s mortgages and paying for everyone’s dinner, they’d be less hated. They’d still be a problem, but they could buy popularity.

But they don’t. Because they’re assholes.

Maybe this will scare some of them into changing the behavior. Maybe it will get some of them killed.

You all remember that “you are Jeff bezos” game, I hope: https://direkris.itch.io/you-are-jeff-bezos

I believe it was this one : https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/169

I also got one to speed up the walk speed, since the default is glacial. I think this one: https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/2736

I got a mod to adjust the flow of time, which was nice.

I still lost interest pretty fast though. Shame, since it seems like a nice game.

Middle managers like to set targets and goals because it counts towards their bonus, and it looks less like they’ve got their dick in their hand when the boss comes calling.

It’s the same problem all over. Capitalism. You have people who don’t do work keeping the benefits from the work.

Most people aren’t going to give themselves stupid or useless metrics. Software people aren’t going to impose “tokens used” or “lines of code” metrics on themselves. They know those are stupid.

. The net result is that everyone has learned very quickly to praise executives on their visionary AI prowess, or they will be gunned down in the proverbial streets.

Once again, the people making the decisions are idiots.

Labor should keep the profits of its work. The owners just sit around and make bad decisions. Fuck them. They’d be lucky to walk away, if there was justice in this world.

Peer pressure is one of the only things that can change minds. Facts don’t do it so much as your friends and people you look up to pushing back on you.

Projection is a psychological defense mechanism that involves attributing one’s undesirable traits, feelings, or impulses to other people.

This shouldn’t be allowed. We need to stop letting corporations consolidate.

That aside, I don’t think I’ve ever used either of these. I used to use seamless for restaurant delivery, but not so much anymore. Shit’s too expensive.

It’s a big multiplier on incompetence. It lets someone who’s kind of bad at their job produce a lot more bad than they could before.

Mandated in office is a climate crime. Send the leadership to do climate repair and seize their wealth. /Bangs judge gavel

If there’s a good in-game group finder, where you can specify like “first time doing it” or “chill group” vs “speed runner” then it’s probably fine. If you can find players, that is.

I played a lot of guild wars 2. I’d start groups on the lfg with a message like “chill [content] run - I don’t care about your build” and people would join, and we’d have a fine time.

Some other MMO, I forget which, I’d end up sitting at the lfg for a long time and never got a full group

I thought it was going to be pro-ai from the title, but I didn’t vote based on that assumption
