That definitely is the line we hear from CEOs when they raise prices, cut labor costs, and over monetize. Do you have any proof that production costs for games have gone up more than any other industry has? They pretty famously don’t pay game developers very well compared to other programming positions so I don’t know where this inordinate cost inflation would be coming from.

I feel like “capitalists aren’t left wing” is a lesson people keep having to relearn.

If there were any chance of these being a real product ever, you could probably make a fortune being the first robot pimp.

An Obama-shaped shadow looming in their garden would do the same. Training these people that these actions have no consequences is far more dangerous than listening to them whine about the government, which they were going to do anyway.

People will still fall for it by treating it like a demonstration of what Elon wants to make, and just an early prototype. The abilities these "robots" displayed are on par with technology that has been available for over 20 years. They don't realize the parts missing, filled in by human intervention, are the most difficult parts to create and literally cannot be done without a major, generational breakthrough in AI.

Yeah, it was a guy they had come out on stage and do a dance in a morph suit and a helmet.

They’ll mobilize the national guard for college campus protests but we have armed militias preventing domestic government aid and not a single boot on the ground or dissident hauled away. Pathetic.

My dude what happened is imminently determinable. It's recent fucking history. It's safe to assume they fairly accurately recorded every part of Israel's creation because to them it wasn't seen as a bad thing to establish a western colonialist outpost in the middle east, and to use the Zionists and the Holocaust as the excuse to do it.

The people killed 1000 years ago were not Israelis. The people who killed them were not Palestinian. All of this history is irrelevant to conflating "The jews" with "Israel" which you shouldn't do, and is the only problem I had with you bringing it up.

As far as the outcome I mostly agree. I don't see this ending in a way were all three of Gaza, Israel, and Lebanon continue to exist simultaneously. My preference is that the colonist state gets abolished, but I have no delusions about the likelihood of that outcome. My "side" is against the people committing genocide. I have no special place in my heart for Gaza or Lebanon, or special hate in my heart for Israel. I have no real opinions about jewish people as a whole because it is stupid to treat an entire religion and ethnic group as a monolith.

Did you miss the part where that was not a sincere attempt to conflate the two, but an attempt to make you understand why doing that kind of conflation is bad? Are you being intentionally dense because its much easier to accuse me of being a closeted Nazi than to address the arguments I've made directly?

It's Nazi talk to state historical facts now? That's crazy man. Every time you accuse me of something it's like some kind of admission.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (4 children)

Nazis also supported Zionism. How will you resolve this contradiction i wonder.

You're really going out of your way to inject irrelevant historical context into a discussion that doesn't really require it which is a pretty typical Hasbarist tactic for muddying the waters of discourse around Israel. If you're not a Zionist you're doing their work for them.

Just read your own comment back to yourself, painting me as a bad guy for conflating one group of Jews with another when my original problem with your comment was you doing the exact same thing. I didn't sincerely draw that comparison, I asked if you considered them the same people to illustrate the problem with this kind of conflation, but it seems to have completely flown over your head.
