Donald Trump Is Done With Checks and Balances
  • Yup. Theres plenty of boomers who scroll Facebook and see all their politics from their conservative friends/families/ad networks/russian social bots and been fed that rhetoric, but also will get a newspaper delivered like the NYT. Here’s hoping whatever impact it can make, it will make

    Thrilling gameplay
  • Ironically in dunkey's revisited review he talks about how if the game was only focused on deliveries, and reconnecting the world after some event, and not beaches and BTs and bridge babies and all the wild stuff it would be a better game. But then it wouldn't be a Kojima game

  • Sometimes the regime needs less babies because it’s hard on the machine. Sometimes the regime needs more because they need bodies to feed the machine

    AI Summary
  • I mean also AI summarizing conversations is a useful feature as long as you view it as what it is. Potentially one of the few examples where an LLM is actually useful. My family has an ongoing group chat that is constantly just dumb shit; some days just 100 messages ranting about something or other, but sometimes there’s something worth seeing like events and the like. Trusting AI to glean all the information properly is dumb. Being able to use it to quickly grep what’s happening before doing your own reading isn’t.

  • I posited that Trump will continue and increase that aid because it benefits him. You didn’t address that claim at all, but instead spoke of the existing aid to Israel. I didn’t say that would stop. You never addressed my original point. Insult me all you like, it doesn’t change the fact that Trump will do whatever the fuck it takes to maintain and increase his power, and as you said “Israel is using ordinance faster than we can make it” but we can certainly make it faster, and there’s more money and power to be had in the further production of it, especially when your first goal is to remove any sort of check or balance in place when it comes to where taxpayer money goes
