Trump's economy is being held up by a massive AI bubble.
A recent study found that of 300 companies that owned generative AI tools, 95% reported zero return on their investments.
We will not entertain a bailout of these companies should this bubble pop.

The "Frieren angle" thing, apart from just being delightful, also completely demolishes the pathetic "AI is democratising art" argument. Someone struggling with a difficult drawing received advice from hundreds of strangers who just wanted to help them improve their art.

A commonly-misunderstood aspect of computer security is that you are battling computers.
No. That is not right at all. Computers are barely involved.
You are battling humans who eat apathy and coordination problems.

I can Family Share this game over Steam but I think on precedent I am going to buy a copy for my account.
I know it should be the bare minimum, but not using AI in your game should be rewarded.

On top of you know *gestures* everything else. Trump will be 82 by the time this term is over.
He is already in cognitive decline and we have no idea how the next 3 years will go.
You really want to give an 82 year old, in mentally declining capacity, 4 more years in the White House? Insanity.

Why am I so against generative AI in games?
Because I simply do not want my initial reaction to art to be one of suspicion and scrutiny, AI slop is fundamentally damaging my relationship to art and artistry, and I am deeply resentful that it is forcing me to be guarded when I should be wowed.

Did a 16 Fear full Vow of Rivals run last night on Hades 2. Thought I beat Typhon and wasn't prepared for the 2nd phase.
Would have been my first time beating a full Rivals run and my highest fear surface run.
I've got around 120 hours into the game now and 42/50 of the achievements completed.

If there was any doubt to Matt Ryan being a bonafide Hall of Famer, just look at the last 4 years of Falcons football without him.
Genuinely some of the most soul crushing seasons of football.
The way Matt Ryan somehow turned the Falcons into a respectable org, is worth HoF status alone.
