How so? It shouldn’t come as a surprise to him at this point.

Why does he always look like he’s surprised that he just shit his pants?

Before blaming AI, blame companies who decided to outsource as much as possible to the lowest priced options, regardless of quality. Once those options became “cost prohibitive” (read, not cheap enough to satisfy shareholders), only then did the rush to develop AI truly begin.

And that’s why Geordie was sent to engineering and Worf to security.

Oh for sure, I’m just saying that one should never be surprised that the UK is trying compete in the fascist olympics given that they held the title of grand champion for so long.

If you enjoyed Subnautica and you want to support devs in the future, skip Subnautica 2/anf be vocal.about why your are not going to play it.

Who do you think the US learned dystopia and imperialism from? We were part of the kingdom before we were a nation afterall.

Time to schedule a visit from the Jehovah’s Witnesses to some of the local Mormons.

You best be glad these sailors are drunk and laying about on their hoard. Before Steam, those sailors were pirates. Do not tempt them to set sail again.

It takes more than the ability to purchase a rifle to be able to shoot. If you want to be effective, you have to train and practice… a lot.

I honestly feel that we didn’t truly hit that Cyberpunk dystopia until the past fifteen years. It’s not that multinational corporations weren’t a problem, its that now we have megacorps truly influencing every minute and every aspect of our lives to the point that it is impossible to tell if any thought that crosses our brain is truly our or if it has been somehow tainted by the omnipresence of megacorp influence.

It is ironic that I typed that on my cyberdeck (smartphone) while listening to a conference call with a megacorp (Microsoft) and wearing a auditory neural link (Bluetooth earpiece), then uploaded it to “the net”.

I’m all for hating the boomers. If you want to blame the disappearance of American manufacturing and the weakening of organized labor on Boomers, I’m all for that. They availability of higher education for the masses to the point where a college degree became a barrier to entry is something that came about thanks to the prosperity boom after WWII. Remember yuppies? Those fuckers were boomers enjoying the advantages their parents and socialist reforms laid at their feet.

So no. Boomers didn’t make college a barrier to entry, but they did milk their good fortune and left very little for those that came after them.

Some of our clients spend over half the budgeted hours holding us in meetings. Meetings help the people that don’t actually do anything seem valuable by looking busy. Once we, the people that actually do the work, finish our task successfully, the meeting attendees take a victory lap and congratulate each other for their amazing teamwork. We don’t mind.

AI: Confidently Incorrect

I never said that boomers did not benefit from it, I said that they didn’t set it up that way. They benefited, exploited, abused, and left nothing for those to come after, but they didn’t set it up themselves.

Cyberpunk (the genre) prior to 2020 felt like a warning. Now it feels like getting our face shoved in the dump we took on the carpet and being yelled at “look at what you did…bad!!!”.

I don’t think boomers set it up that way. I think boomers were the first to grow up into a world where a college degree was almost required to get ahead.

These are often referred to as “terror cells”.

It turns itself back on every time you restart the van.
