Man bad.

All the people going “yea it was good, but there are better games!” are missing the point. Sure there are better games, or better stories, but Expedition 33 is a work of art. The soundtrack alone is amazing I often play it in the background when I’m working. Not because I’m nostalgic for the game, but simply because it’s beautiful. And the graphics/backgrounds are incredibly well done, I can count on one hand the number of games that have made me stop and just… Sit for a while, taking in the view. Expedition 33 does that multiple times, even hours into the game in Act III, I’m still finding areas that make me stop and just go “Wow…”

When looking at it as just a game, it’s still great. 9/10. Not the absolute best game or most engaging gameplay ever, but still very well done and a lot of fun. It’s everything else that propels it into 10/10.

I like giving it impossible tasks, like spell OPERATION with only 4 letters, and arguing with it as it refuses to just admit that I’m wrong and have requested something impossible, or when it tries to cut corners. “No, I don’t want an abbreviation, or a word that means the same thing, I want you to spell the full word OPERATION with only 4 letters. Why can’t you get this right?”

Name a single country that doesn’t have blood on its hands.

So this brings up an interesting question, what qualifies as “tool use”? Google’s answer seems vague and too broad. Are hermit crabs tool users? What about those crabs that carry around sea anemones to use as weapons? What about lacewing larva, also known as trash bugs? They carry a lot of debris on their back to use as camouflage.

What about beavers? They build dams. What about birds? Yea, crows and parrots obviously, but almost all birds build nests.

I’ve job hopped a lot, and literally no company has ever asked for my social media besides indeed, which I keep sterile clean. Actually, they’ve never even specifically asked for that either, that’s just where I’ve applied through.

Our industries may differ though.

Are NVIDIA drivers still an absolute bitch to get working correctly? Is there still no way to run games off Gamepass?

Ok cool, so it’s NOT just easy-peasy-lemon-squeezy to switch.

But what if they come with cat ears and they call me a good boy?

Would someone from that time recognize 1066 as the year? Were they using modern date formats for years at that time?

“I’ll take people shitting into my mouth over dogs. At least it’s real humans doing it.”

Just another flavor of cynicism for me. Before AI, I would look at most “cute” animal videos and just see an animal performing a trained trick under the guise of “Omg, LOOK my dogs love spontaneously hugging each other, isn’t that cute??!!”

People have ALWAYS lied on the internet.

So what?

Seriously, so what?

Chatbots have been around for ages, way longer than the current “AI” trend. It’s always been possible to get them to say some version of “kill yourself”.

ChatGPT didn’t gaslight a guy into killing his mom. A mentally ill man killed his mom. If a fucking chatbot is the thing that triggered it, then anything could have. Same thing with the people killing themselves because a chatbot told them too. That’s just cold Darwinism. We didn’t suddenly ban Catcher in the Rye because some schizophrenic guy decided it was telling him to kill John Lennon; we recognized that there are simply crazy people in this world who could be set off by anything.

The “safeguards” you want in place are not feasible because you want them to account for people with mental illness, or people so stupid that something else would have killed them first.

You want the real story to this article? Dumbass dies from using drugs irresponsibly, parents blame anything they can except their son because they are too blinded by grief to recognize that their precious little junkie was a fucking idiot. ChatGPT did not force him to take drugs. ChatGPT did not supply him with drugs. That was all him. The only one to blame for his death is his dumbass self.

People will always find a way to kill themselves no matter how many warnings and guardrails are put into place. This is just Darwinism shaking the tree.

So, until recently, do you honestly believe that they just didn’t test female contraceptives? Or do you think they tested them on males instead? Or maybe that argument is a little bit nonsense in this case because while women as a whole are underrepresented in medical testing, the idea that they never, ever, tested on women (especially in the case of drugs exclusively made for women) is a little bit of a ridiculous concept.

Man bad.

Too fucking stupid to recognize that people can’t predict the future. Too fucking stubborn to accept that you’re wrong when people point out what broken, dumbass logic you’re trying to use. You’re fucking cooked mate. Maybe get some sleep or grab a snack before you keep trying for the “Dumbest Comment of the Month” award.

No, that is not a bright and sunny outlook, no matter how you cut it.

For those of you cheering on the death of the American Empire and the rise of communism from its ashes… You know you’re never going to live to see that day, right? Maybe your children will, more likely your grandchildren if it happens at all. But between now and then, there will be a new Dark Age and it will last for DECADES minimum.

Get ready for food shortages, water shortages, critical infrastructure like power and Internet going out. Get ready for wars, bloody conflicts, authoritarian crackdowns that make today look like a cordial dinner party.

Like, you guys get that right? It’s not just a switch being flipped. If you want to kill the beast that is the American Empire, it’s going to thrash HARD. It’s going to cause a LOT of fucking damage during and immediately after its collapse, and it won’t be fast. It will be long, slow, and marked with untold amounts of suffering before something, if anything, can be rebuilt.

Yea, yea, society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they’ll never sit under. Just make sure you’re ready to struggle for survival for the rest of your life if you really want that shade to exist.

People got mad at me for pointing out this is the case when people die because they listen to an AI chatbot, but it’s true. AI 100% needs more regulation, but introduce any new tool to everyone all at once, and some idiots will use it to remove themselves from the gene pool. If you sent everyone in the world a thin, 2in rod of inert iron, there would be a handful of people who would figure out a way to kill themselves with it.

Buddy, if you believe the whole “random McDonalds worker saw him and reported him” story rather than the government has tools at their disposal they aren’t telling us about that allow them to track people, then you have a lot more faith in the official narrative than I do.

I don’t know if people are just not recognizing the metric fuckton of nuance with this situation, or they’re being willfully ignorant. Either way, not my monkeys, not my circus.
