Underlegislation leads to a bloated, extortionate upper crust that weilds disproportionate power over those who rely on said financial system. There is a balance, and the problem you outline is the lesser of the two extremes.

Maybe publishing houses will never get the memo, but the Helldivers team knew to make a fun game first, and THEN added amazing graphics. If the market prooves they prefer that dev cycle ethos, it will bring change.

That’s a smoke screen. Another is the “liberal brainwashing machine” school system scare. What they fear is the statistic that higher educated individuals trend towards populism and progressivism. They see higher education of youths as a threat to their political base, which turns into “spineless parents sending kids to liberul brainwashing camps funded by the gubmnt.”

The ghost of Reagan?

Clippy never had a voice and tbh the one that comes to mind for him is not very easy on the ears. Like downpitched spongebob.

Yet language and abstraction are the core of intelligence. You cannot have intelligence without 2 way communication, and if anything, your brain contains exactly that dictionary you describe. Ask any verbal autistic person, and 90% of their conversations are scripted to a fault. However, there’s another component to intelligence that the Turing Test just scrapes against. I’m not philosophical enough to identify it, but it seems like the turing test is looking for lightning by listening for rumbling that might mean thunder.

That’s okay. I hear they do punch cards now. Only a matter of time.

Gmap data is dated around sensitive sites and they have to request DoD clearance to update that type of sat imagery, and even then objects can be blurred or even photoshopped by the DoD before google is allowed to post the update, and by then any intel even unedited is OBE.

So… We… -DO- want a ceasefire…? Joey, lay it out straight…

Nazis believe in the wholesale extermination of entire groups of human beings who deserve their own life, dignity, and happiness. I do not respect a belief system that advocates for the extermination of jews, trans people, gay people, people of color, or any human being based on their religion, culture, ethnic background, or sexuality. I will absolutely respect any person for their beliefs no matter how poorly informed, so long as that person accepts that people who are different than them–ALL people–deserve all the same rights, protections, and opportunities that they fight for themselves.

Piiiitchforks! Getcher pitchforks heeeere!

He didn’t want to militarize for free

Chinese government overreach? Surely hell has frozen over /s

Me writing my silly little forms apps in silly little VS Pretty drop-down fields :)

It’s a folder that you put files into, but acts as a file itself. Not at all like zip.

I see a future where China out and out steals the unity backend to publish the CCP spyware flavor of unity.

The multiplayer version on the Black Hawk Down engine was so sick. Better than Battlefield, and sold at Walmart for like $10
