I’m in a workplace that has tried not to be overbearing about AI, but has encouraged us to use them for coding.

I’ve tried to give mine some very simple tasks like writing a unit test just for the constructor of a class to verify current behavior, and it generates output that’s both wrong and doesn’t verify anything.

I’m aware it sometimes gets better with more intricate, specific instructions, and that I can offer it further corrections, but at that point it’s not even saving time. I would do this with a human in the hopes that they would continue to retain the knowledge, but I don’t even have hopes for AI to apply those lessons in new contexts. In a way, it’s been a sigh of relief to realize just like Dotcom, just like 3D TVs, just like home smart assistants, it is a bubble.

It frustrates me that the independent, “keep to myself and don’t trust the government” personalities love gas/oil and not solar panels/batteries. Can’t remember a time we invented a war in the Middle East to steal their sunlight.

Both this and Five Nights at Freddy’s have an interesting problem, where they’re based around an entertainment franchise that goes wrong - but the franchise itself necessitates repeated attempts and failure.

The Escape Key closes most popups, dialogs, modals. It’s also non-destructive, so it won’t close a program; any “save changes” dialog will be cancelled.

I have a little bit of that frustration with people not wanting to subscribe / donate to things, but I think there’s a very reasonable cause for that: Income disparity.

In the end, be it video game design building towards F2P live services or TV being terrible slop, a lot of it boils down to that issue: So much of your audience has so little to give. In a functioning economy, the money would cycle around a little more.

They could pull a Spec Ops: The Line, and use the franchise flag to pull a masterful writing twist that analyzes the original gluttony in a confrontational way.

It’s really sad - back on 9/11, I thought “That’s horrible! What kind of evil country could hate us so much they’d want to attack our civilians!?”

Now, if another 9/11 happens, I may just shrug and think “…Yeah…we’re America. We deserve it.”

The whole problem is, there are huge sects of people that refuse to stay out of each other’s way.

They wanted to invade Canada, Mexico, and Greenland. Then they realized first they needed to invade the blue states - the ones that believe in rule of law. The ones that have immigrants and get along with them.

It’s the same type of expansionists, and their loyal poor underlings, present in Russia and in Israel.

Yeah, I’ve been trying to learn this sentiment a bit more.

Thousands of us feel overwhelmed looking at and responding to violence. Others are super focused on their recovery work to help the world, and thus end up viewing the arrest of one of their (50) colleagues as a “disturbing inconvenience”.

The world isn’t one single needle that’s either getting worse or better.

Honestly I like its message too. If nobody told stories about crazy homicidal hillbillies, none of the movie would’ve happened.

From what I know, most of the effort goes to moderation - both when posting text, and video. We only get to see the moderated content, so we don’t know how much horrible shit there is.

Let’s walk back and compare to a social cause that I think most people agree on.

Police violence is a problem. It’s a problem for all races, but black people have been disproportionately targeted for a long time, and are in all forms at greater risk. So, it’s fair to organize social movements around supporting that demographic to show they’re recognized and they matter; Black Lives Matter.

Male social isolation is also a problem. It’s been a problem for everyone, and loneliness affects all genders under modern social technological trends; but men are overwhelmingly gathering to movements that target their demographic and give them a sense of identity association. (Women and trans communities also gather to their exclusive groups to help identify their unique problems). Even if you don’t agree men are really victims, they can be warped into becoming perpetrators, creating more victims, if their mental health needs are not addressed.

And so, it’s fair to organize social movements around supporting that demographic to show they’re recognized and they matter; Men’s mental health matters. This of course does not need to detract from any other social causes happening.

I only have cursory knowledge of this incident, but: It’s possible that was the right outcome. A lot of middle managers do some heinous shit, and then report only positive news to upper management with a “Don’t worry about it” attitude.

We all know there’s also evil CEOs in the world as well, but maybe the investigation found this wasn’t one of them. 'Course, maybe they were just better at keeping plausible deniability.

Downside: It’s not gluten-free.

One of the biggest ones in mystery is “Why didn’t X simply Y”

They can literally just be stupid. Or ego driven. Etc.

There’s a great series of mystery games where the final villain even admits this exactly. He found evidence of a murder plot against the sister of his dead girlfriend, and instead of reporting it or detaining those involved, he let it almost happen. It was literally all so he could feel like a hero saving them at the last second, and he says as much directly.

Conservatives are inundated about trans people on their news. So, they think everyone is trans.

If they ever understood how much of their fucking attention is wasted there on such a tiny percent of the population, they’d likely accept every single trans bill just to get back to real issues.

I’ve done a little bit of okay cleaning with a toothpick, then much better cleaning from the repair shop.

What really sucks is how many times this conversation has started, only for the trans person to (very logically and understandably) react internally with “Ohhh boy, here we go, another one of these backwards bigots. I’m just going to yell to make myself feel better.”

Then the ignorant individual feels attacked, gets defensive, and feels satisfied in their belief that trans people are hysterical or something.

I don’t even blame anyone so much for that. Being patient with every single transphobe just in case they’re a reasonable person takes far more energy than I have.
