They don't just cause problems for Amtrak either. Sometimes trains are so long that, when parked, there's no where to put them except right through the middle of a town, blocking roads

This is part of the myth of scarcity. There is currently already enough housing for everyone. It's capitalism that's keeping people out of it.

Many of these places have been left to rot by landlords that would rather let them sit empty than charge an affordable rent, or perform necessary maintenance. A big part of housing everyone would be using reallocated resources to refurbish dilapidated properties. That's why we want to tax the rich

Is this a thing for knees? Every once in a while, my knees just pop out of their sockets. It's incredibly painful, and I have to move them back by hand. I went to a doctor when I was like 18 though, and they took an x-ray, and couldn't find anything

I agree with all of this, and I think it's the right choice. You don't have to immediately come out as the brave warrior of what is right, but you can absolutely speak up, in all kinds of ways. Even just starting with, "Hey, this line doesn't sound right, I think it would make more sense if it said 'gender' here," could be helpful. If they insist, ask why.

Everyone's individual circumstances are going to be different, but there's definitely something you can do. The pressure you're feeling is exactly what the fascists want you to bow to, but most of the people you work with aren't fascists. You might be surprised how much change you can make

The other people interviewed answer those questions if you keep reading

“It really weighed on the creativity of my role, and again, spat in the face of my expertise”, [Ricky says]. “It wasn't just this though; the tool itself lacks the intent, context, and limitations of what we're doing. It doesn't have other aspects of the project, influences, references, or personal experiences in the back of its mind, because it doesn't have a mind. Whenever we design something for a game, it's drawn from somewhere, influenced by other things, and filtered through our own experiences as a human. These AI ideas lose ALL of that..."

“What follows from these discussions is me explaining why, usually over hours rather than minutes, that these tools have no place in a professional game development pipeline or production and actually hinder the development of visuals”, Francis says. “I also find myself explaining to them how the iteration and 'idea' phase of a project is where the best stuff happens, how exploring things through artistic labor is where your best ideas come to fruition, and why would we want an AI (that we don't even own) to do that for us with art that isn't ours to use?”

It's not scripted, they just couldn't get the actor to stop playing
