I'm fortunate in that I don't need the game to sell well. My target is to break even on the sound and art costs, and some advertising costs. art costs for it are very low, thanks to using scenario ai to produce variations and module/turret art.

With renewables (cheapest energy), the US is actively fighting against.
With EVs (cheapest lifecycle transport) the US is actively fighting against
With R&D and science progress, the administration peddle conspiracy anti-vaxx BS as policy.
The only faster way to destroy the USA would be nukes.

And the pro-trump delusional 'patriots' who keep yelling that the US is the world leader in everything, are so glued to fox news they can't see it. And they wont see it, until it starts to collapse all around them.
The arrogant triumphant hubris of the American right will be hilarious as it falls.

Where did this theory that fry is so clever come from? Was it the pairing of a middle class accent and hosting QI? Did I miss the announcement of his fields medal or nobel prize for physics? or even just his phd? I have seen no evidence of his alleged vast intellect.

There is a very common 'man in the pub' wisdom that 'of course there is an AI bubble'. I'm sure it spooks a lot of retail investors. But if you are only investing based on the current trendiest headline, rather than core tech or business case, then you are only gambling anyway.

She should raise Air Passenger duty. Hardly anybody knows what it is, or how much it costs. It can be as little as £7 per flight, and could be easily doubled without outrage, and that would bring in ~£3Bn assuming no behaviour change. Also wins points with green voters. Seems an easy win.

Its possible, but AI is affordable in a way hiring private tutors never could be, because paying a fully skilled and educated human is always going to be pricey. I share your concern, but I am optimistic that govts will see a big opportunity here.

I know several people who fit this description. Its like they are describing riding a horse towards gondor with a horde of wolves and orcs behind them, and only their heroic testosterone can save the day.

I still know people who cannot get an EV because its 'a transitional technology before hydrogen' or 'occasionally I have to tow something'. And the infuriating thing is they just DO NOT CARE that they are 100% wrong. They have read a right-wing website spouting bullshit, and thats good enough.

Well I had a controlled experiment done at Harvard on my side, but an anecdote from a kardashian is more worthy?
Rich parent desperately clings to idea her kids will still get an advantage over the poor kids. news at 11.
