I still think AI has its place as a useful term in video games development

Humans are easier to indoctrinate than sapient robots, because human biases are predictable.

Fascist politician: the Jews are stealing your money to cause the downfall of your race! They're even breeding your children with black people to destroy you!

Human reaction: yeah, that makes sense

Robot reaction: ...why tho?

Robots may still have biases, but they probably won't be exactly the same as a human's. I doubt a robot would care for a "think of the children" argument

And who decides what a true bug is, huh? Bullshit pseudoscientific taxonomists?

I disagree. The bad reviews and refunds produced, effectively, a single bad week for the company, while getting the publisher to backtrack on a decision that would have slowly but surely killed both the game and the company. Spitz saved Arrowhead. Unfortunately, instead of capitalising on the cooperation between developers and players to win back their reputations and make the game profitable again, Arrowhead decided to throw away Spitz' hard work by firing him, ruining their reputation just after he saved it for them. Now they're fucked.

The way I see it, their only chance to return to profitability is for them to explain that Spitz was fired for his earlier comments mocking players for complaining about PSN. If they did that, the players would return to Arrowhead's side. But if the narrative that he was fired for sticking with the players and saving the company prevails, then Arrowhead is doomed.

Oh, is that why my parents abused me? Because of a probability model? Tell me, was it Bayes' theorem that made them teach me to repress my gender, and to misgender me for years after I came out as an adult?

But it says it's from the 8th of may 2024. Are you saying the posting bot would lie to me?

Does it have a headphone jack

Well, yes and no. Yes, if your child is in need you have a duty to support them. But no, children should not need to rely on child support from an unwilling parent. Becoming a parent is a really big decision, and a lot of people are parents against their will, whether that be because of poor sex education, poor access to contraceptives, laws against abortion, or simply a partner who doesn't agree. The government should be providing enough money for a kid to live on and have a good life. That's how we do it in my country and it's better than America.

A lot of people have sex in a state where they shouldn't be held responsible for that decision for a lifetime. Whether it be violent rape, coercive rape, getting drunk, or just being a dumb kid who doesn't know any better. Nobody should be having one night of poor decision making at 17 and paying for that choice at 35. And it's really really important that people who are raped not be paying for it. I read that story from America where a high schooler was raped by his teacher and had to pay child support. Now, we can either subject rape victims to the beaurocracy of proving to the government that they didn't consent, which is a degrading and triggering process, or the government can take responsibility for looking after ALL its citizens and pay for the raising of all unwanted children. Hell, pay for the raising of the wanted ones too, alleviate the burdens of all parents! There's enough money.

In an enlightened society, the idea of an individual paying "child support" would be seen as absurd and backward, because all children would be supported by the whole community just for being born. And also abortion would be legal and sex ed would be very comprehensive.
