I think they would do "genital inspections", as an excuse to violate women. For fun.

We already have a mountain of asset flips anyway.

Personally, I think it is a good thing: 95% of what humanity produces is crappy or forgettable, the stuff that is good is likely to be remembered. The bigger the crap pile, the greater odds of finding gems after the pile has been sifted through.

If a million monkeys can eventually produce the works of Shakesphere, and you can get a trillion monkeys, you will get even more masterworks. Even better, our monkeys understand the goal, their purpose, and become ever more capable over time.

Speaking as a consumer of media with niche tastes, this is an improvement over the old way of doing things. We may get an adventure game based on the Rankin-Bass Hobbit's aesthetic, an remake of the entire Quest for Glory series, or something we have yet to conceive of.

Honestly, I am confused by the rushed build out. If I was wealthy, I would be trying to ensure that my wealth isn't being burned away for nothing. Having properly placed and authorized data centers would help protect my investment.

The Dotcom bubble and the 2008 housing crisis are still in living memory. Are the wealthy just that unaware - or worse, uncaring - about how things could play out? 🤨

Look, let's not permit plausible deniability. Turdpublicans are the type to take an inch and go around the planet. They will just cheat their way to victory, given even the barest fig leaf.

I think ICE, as a class, should be trialed and hung. Nuremberg only killed about 210 Nazis. We shouldn't make the mistake of being restrained against such monsters.

I am guessing that she would end up living in NYC or California, strongholds against the MAGA menace. That way, when the straw finally shatters the camel's back, Omar will be able to continue being a leader. If she stayed in neutral or unfriendly territory, she could be captured or worse.

We know what ICE does to little girls and women in their "care". There is no question what they would do to her, if given the opportunity.

Here's hoping that Omar will be the Winston Churchill of our time, in the best ways.

Anti-AI people have turned off their brains. An AI cannot replicate the logic behind game mechanics without digging into the code, nor can it see inside the brain of a creator and understand their philosophy nor personality from a mere demo.

AI is impressive and very useful, but it ain't witchcraft. I have been trying to vibecode assorted projects, and my local AI failed three of them - and succeeded at a bunch of others. Every time, no matter the result, a lot of QA had to be done to figure out the guts of the target program, and how to get the intended result.

Just because the bar is lower to get things done, doesn't remove the need for effort and thought. No different from a forklift, hand mixer, or a word processor.

Fat chance of that. The Trump Regime doesn't give a shit about the future of the nation, let alone the world. So long as they have bunkers, our 'leaders' feel fine with dire outcomes.

Independent testing of voting machines and open sourcing the vulnerabilities in order to get them patched, is a good idea.

Unfortunately, we all know what the Trump Regime actually intends to do: Keep the vulnerabilities in their pocket, and use them to secure "victories".

Hopefully, Ukraine has drones waiting to take out any Russian...or heck, American, oil freighters in the region. Trump is a traitor, and any military or civilian forces who obeys his will, are also traitors. He has ignored Congress, declaring wars and deciding international relations without our authority.

He and his kind are Dogey Confederates, and have renounced being American by their actions.

I would like it if Ukraine sent a drone into Musk. He is an proven enemy agent.

Bartender: "So your son fucked himself back into existence through your wife?"

This America isn't worth preserving, if it is a reflection of Trump and his kindred. I do not wish to live the rest of my life in a nation that has been consumed by evil.

Probably a case of diminishing returns. There is only so many observation and attack units in a given theater that you can deploy, before the enemy starts catching onto the idea of what your strategy is, what numbers you can field, and begin placing assets of their own.

Personally, I think the ratio should be higher for quadcopters and other land-oriented drone units. The ocean is big and usually empty, with the odd concentration of highly valuable targets. If I were to decide how to approach things, I would make the naval drones relatively few, high quality, and stealthy, interdicting key zones of travel and transit. Land territories have to deal with much greater randomness, so you need a greater mix of disposable assets.

Always was.

Frankly, I trust the Chinese models and tools over those from the US. I know for a fact that the Trump Regime wants to hurt and exploit everybody, just because it can.

I think they should do it. Having an option that isn't dependent on America's ill will, is important if civilized nations are to have agency.

They also should make their own Starlink-ish constellation.

Europe and friends had benefited from a relative golden age of peace, using the peace dividend to invest in their civilian sectors. While it would be painful to invest in defense, the time has come to do so. It sucks, but the Dogey Confederates will abuse decent people if given an opening.

Yup. It is simply harder to organize people, especially when the offending politicians can literally fly away to Mar-a-Lago. It costs a ton for people to get around the nation, there is no such thing as job security or universal health, and so on.

We will have to overhaul or replace the Constitution, with it having rules to at least allow for free fuel, basic housing, and free generic food. This would allow people to be freed from the shackles of the workplace, and be able to relentlessly protest against politicians.

Not quite. It only takes hashtags, it doesn't consider things that can be described in plain English. IMO, one of the valuable things about AI is that it can take multiple factors into account and determine whether something is the right mix to interest me.

For example, I like Shoot'em Ups, but only if they got upgrade progression systems similar to Tyrian 2000 and Sky Force. Temporary power ups and roguelike Shmups aren't my thing. An AI can parse the game description and screenshots, then determine whether it has what I personally enjoy.
