I don't think that one way or another someone loses a job with all things AI.

That's the lie the grifters are trying to sell. "Look we're gonna automate workers, you need to invest in the next industrial age, stop hiring humans".

The fear is selling AI like hotcakes more than the AI is producing.

And I'm hardly saying AI is worthless. It isn't. I use it on a daily basis for my day job. But it's not replacing workers just like Google search didn't really replace workers, the same way wikipedia didn't either. It just made things more easy to do quickly sometimes, and sped up information search and access.

I think people unfairly call it a "worse Google search" when it's a very different sort of tool, but very similar to the situation before and after Google and Wikipedia came out. It has its place but it's not everywhere, and it's not going to make workers redundant as much as that it's selling point. I used to say maybe customer service, but even then it's layer zero for dumbass questions and shouldn't have any sort of trust to fuck with accounts.

The game is like the perfect level of hard imo, just difficult enough to feel like I'm actually gaming and not just "spending more time" like most games feel these days, but not so hard that it's about punishment.

It feels fair, where you take your time and learn how things move and you will win. You rush through, and you will die. And you're not forced to repeat the same steps over and over either. Sometimes you can just burrow through knowing how enemies attack and skip areas.

It's honestly super frustrating to me that this level of difficulty isn't more common. So many games these days feel like you're just having your hand held like, "yep, you press down to duck! Guess what, the next enemy shoots. You gotta duck under that shot! Oh no, you didn't. But we didn't take any health away, we just played a sound effect that sounds like you got hurt ❤️. Don't worry. None of it matters. The important thing is you walk past this and enter the next scene and spend 5 minutes watching a cut scene".

Like ffs games feel way too cozy these days, or extremely difficult where the point is it's hard. There's rarely good middle ground like this.

Funny, that boss was super easy for me. I think the weapon choice can really matter.

The AI investments won't pay off unless you're the lucky fucker that invested in Amazon.com despite it being a dumbass book company compared to WebVan... Because everyone needs groceries, how can they lose?

She can be a Goon Lord too. I see no hint of shame in those eyes.

the effect is extremely real though, same with nocebo. They did a study a while ago, told people something was poison oak when it wasn't and rubbed them with it. They broke out in rashes.

Mostly people miss it... Unless you were gay. Then you probably have some unhappy memories about that time. Of course there's nostalgia for other stuff, but civil rights were way worse for lgbtq.

I'm surprised no one brought this up yet. Being gay in the 90s would be about as controversial as being trans now, and it would not be okay to walk around holding hands with your same sex partner unless you were in a known gay area. it might not be illegal, but it would've attracted attention, probably people would've said slurs at least. The f slur was used in television and movies until around the 90s. People just used it like "nerd" or "dweeb". Cocksucker was a pretty bad insult, insinuating someone was gay being pretty damn insulting at the time.

Things were significantly worse for lgbtq people, and there was the fear of HIV being basically a death sentence, and it wouldn't have been long after people called it the "gay disease". Some people were very uneducated about that stuff. My mom, who believed that gay men were our equals and should have equal rights, told me not to touch my gay teacher or shake his hand or anything because he might have "a disease". Thankfully my father was more medically knowledgeable and told her it doesn't spread like that, even if he had it.

It wasn't until around after the 2000s at least that gay people were proudly saying, "HIV is no longer a death sentence". It used to be a disease running rampant that no one gave a shit about because of homophobia basically. Fucking Reagan.
