It's very fun explaining to a 75 year old man that can barely operate a smart phone that the ai industry is an incestuous cesspit of money stacking and scams that's also a bubble that our current economy is basically being held up by.

Nothing says revolutionary, money saving technology like using glorified text to speech to read some five sentence long scripts

I’m sure the ceo is rolling in the tens of dollars they saved by doing this stupid shit Instead of hiring a real human being to read these scripts

AAAAAA I DIDNT EVEN REALIZE THEY HAD GONE ON SALE NOOOO 😭😭😭😭😭😭

It really just kinda feels like the writers accidentally wrote up a super evil crime syndicate and then turned around and went "Oops, we made these guys too evil! We want people to like these guys! Quick, find some half-assed justification for their evil and illegal actions!"

The entire side story would have been resolved way more gracefully if the twist the whole time was that the rust syndicate replaces interest on loans with acts of community service, and that was what was in the fine print.

funnily enough I found two shiny espurrs and a fletchinder in area 9 today while shiny hunting mawile

If you want one of them lemme know lol

and by "more character depth" I mean, "make her spoiled, a sore loser, give her a kawaii grandpa that dotes on her like crazy, and absent/maybe dead parents"
