Honestly, this is a really well made article. They’ve got a damn good point.

And like, it’s not even a good gimmick. It’s a serious labour issue because the primary intent behind a lot of AI has always been to just phase out workers.
I’m all for ending work through technological advancement and universal income, but this definitely wasn’t going to get us that, so…
Well, why would I support something that mostly just threatens people’s livelihoods and gives even more power to the 0.1%?
Not an American, but I realised it when I had to talk one of my online friends out of suicide because he almost worked himself to death (ten or more hour shifts six days a week for over a month) and couldn’t afford rent.
Corporate lust for money, my dude
YES
Finally some sort of actual consequence for the malicious bullshit of the ultra wealthy. We take those Ws
It’s almost as if having one of the worst reputations of any video game ever is damaging to your long-term health…
Still, I can’t really roast them. League of Legends genuinely did clean up their act when it comes to toxicity, and as hard as I tried to kick the habit, I still find myself going back and playing the occasional match of Heroes of the Storm, which is owned by a much scummier company that deserves to crash and burn.
And really, the MOBA genre isn’t as dominant as it once was in general either. It’s been a gradual decline, there’s been no big disaster that crashes everything. Just there are other genres in style right now. All things considered, I think LoL is doing totally fine given the circumstances. Nothing to worry about, so don’t be disheartened if it’s a game you enjoy.
This isn’t just cruel, it’s actually actively disadvantaging Russia in a huge way.
Anyone can be a scientist, and autistic people can go into any profession, but statistically speaking, autistic people tend to be the ones willing to obsess over data enough to get into science and make technical breakthroughs.
Sure, a lot of other countries aren’t exactly saintly when it comes to treating people who act a bit different, but good fucking luck building a tech industry that can compete with the world’s dominant powers if you’re actively removing people that aren’t perfect little obedient clones of the ideal citizen.
Can you even imagine being this based?
I need to check this game out
Makes sense to me, I think even someone borderline tech illiterate the way I am could create a perfectly good way to remotely disable a machine and prevent anyone studying it to reverse engineer it, I call it ‘Renotely detonated bucket of thermite’
Oh shit, are we getting Team Fortress 3?
Wait, I’ve seen quite a few articles claiming carbon capture was basically an oil industry myth. Are we sure we should be investing in that instead of some things which have more proven effectiveness like renewables?
