True story for Americans: You should exercise your 2nd Amendment right unless you want only the Right to have guns.

If you actually listened to the Right's leaders, they're openly telling you that you should be picking out your favorite at the shop now.

The comments section here is pretty funny.

This isn't "The Director from L4D", this is the human touch of direct influence of game balance globally without the need to release a patch or even a hotfix, and way beyond just how many bots drop at a time. If you want to compare it to something, it might be The Wizard from Oz, pulling the cranks to drive the facade.

If The Director wasn't dumping enough zombies in general, Valve would have to patch The Director to make it do so because it's restricted to its coding limitations. A human Game Master can run it only limited to the variables the devs give him. Open new planets for plundering, change the weather, accuracy of your calldowns, the options are as limited as imagination and time.

Saying this, I don't know why they would leave this all up to Joel, you'd think there'd be a team of 3 to bounce ideas off or something.

Hot take, but I think we got a dethronement.

This is what happens when humanitarian aid is denied for weeks. When food becomes not only scarce but literally gone, there is no order, there is no line, it's every person for themselves. Just looking at some of the replies to that X post reminds me:

1. Why I don't touch Birdsite anymore
2. That many people are reptiles wearing human skin.
3. That Gaza has become a death camp, run by Israel, overseen by the weakest hands the world could provide.

Y’all chomping at the bit to direct your hate at the Jewish community and using Israel as an excuse. No different from MAGA.

Ah yes, let's put to paper that anyone who could oppose Israeli occupation and seige on ANY group of people are actually anti-Jew, and then paint those same people as far-right fascists.

That'll win over people and influence them to your cause. Nice work.

This has been planned for months and every Turkish friend I talked to said “if you want anything from Steam before the end of the month I’ll gift it to you, just send the $3” so no, it’s not a bug.

Could be, but words on Twitter and no lawsuit don't really equal getting ejected from your CEO position. Imagine if CEOs got ejected for stuff akin to that, there'd be no CEOs left.

As I used the word "appears", I am postulating based on how the company is controlled, the non-profit entity, as well as certain statements that board members have made in the past such as Ilya Sutskever (now ex-board??), whose thoughts have likely been influenced by his mentor Geoffrey Hinton who is quoted on 60 Minutes saying the AI is about to be "more intelligent than us". Ilya is known for, beyond his scientific endeavors into AI and his position of Chief Scientist of OpenAI, some odd behavior on his commitment to AI safety though I'm sure his beliefs come from the right place.

There's a lot more to this, for each board member and Sam, but it makes me believe that a large wall was erected in information leading to a paranoid board.

Do you have a geothermal heat pump too for AC/Heat? What was the cost on that? And how much land does the geothermal system take up nowadays?

I mean, the non-profit board appears, at current glance, to have fired the CEO for their paranoid-delusional beliefs, that this LLM is somehow a real AGI and we are already at a point of a thinking, learning, AI.

Just delusional grandeur on behalf of the board, or they didn't and don't understand what is really going on, which might be why they fired the CEO: for not informing the board, truly, what level OpenAI's AI is actually at. So the board was trying to reign in a beast that is merely a puppy, with information that was wrong.

In other countries, Japan for example, gift giving is almost automated in their society to the point of being able to pick up simple gifts nearly anywhere, fancy fruit or what have you. When you get the easy gifts out of the way you can focus on those 1-4 people that are significant to you. But that wouldn't work in the West, gotta buy all the expensive stuff to take that red into black.

Yep, if you buy the music you actually like, yeah that CD you bought at FYE in 2013 was $12, but that's $12 literally 10 years ago, water under the bridge, and you can still use it however you want to use it.

Meawhile Deezer nuts is making you pay for a CD-worth of content every month. That's 12 CDs a year.

Now That's What I Call a LOT of Music.
