Military behind lines can be pretty important because of delays in them receiving notices and their ability to do anything about it. Pretty much every legal notice gets a timeframe before things occur. Usually something like a month is sufficient, but for someone in military service, who have arguably the best excuse to not be able to do regular things for a whole month, the usual polite way to go about things is to wait for them to return home, and historically, courts have thrown out cases for people who didn’t do that, because it wasn’t a reasonable amount of notice.

No idea about the legalities of this particular case, but it is extra rude, getting a court date and losing by default for not showing up when you didn’t show up because another part of government mandated you be on a battlefield.

Nah that’s the actual pattern, you can see it repeat as you look left and right

I would too, unfortunately, but it’s not you, its them.

It’s fine. All this really means is together you have generated multiple posts worthy of this sub with a single photo. Very efficient of you, I appreciate it.

Its claiming the only universe he could possibly be right in, is the Twilight Zone.

I mean, financially it wasn’t really a choice. Cotton wasn’t profitable without slavery. Inherit a cotton farm from your racist parents and capitalism would ensure the racism kept flowing.

That’s why we had to force the issue in the first place, the south needed the institution of slavery, and wasn’t just fighting to defend slavery because they thought it was neat, it was because they needed it.

No excuses, but when immoral behavior is profitable behavior, yes, people can get dependent.

Yeah. Any Co2/other climate change regressions that the US makes affect everyone globally, and while water use is local, its also as-needed, so post-collapse you have to use up all your water anyway.

AI could use solely graywater/non-water cooling and renewable energies, and that’s the answer, just takes slowing down, building specific and rigorous facilities, . Letting the US speed along just hurts everyone due to climate change.

That and every major company economically depends on each other, and disconnecting from the US in a way that doesn’t cause backlash also takes time.

Fuck america but don’t let them drill holes in the boat we’re all riding.

Did they lose their positions? I haven’t read anything indicating that, just that they weren’t allowed back into the conference.

No.

That’s true for people. Corporations don’t learn from mistakes and cannot improve over time, they’re legally obligated to seek shareholder value.

Expecting a corporation to do things for the right reasons is like expecting AI to do things for the right reason.

If we must interact with either, we must simply be glad when the answer is correct. If we want corporations to act more like people and be able to have real values, we need to bake a corporation’s values into law in some way.

Private businesses can still have morals and can learn and all that good stuff where the method matters, but public ones will always dehumanize.

So I’m happy they hit the right result. I’m also happy they’re talking about it like this even though this talk is also just a publicity response, because other companies might see this and also do the right thing for the wrong (purely financial) reason.

But this is also why corporations shouldn’t be people and should be barred from everything involving government and all that, if not abolished altogether.

Reading the article, it sounds more like a comment on advertising as a whole and not their AI ads specifically. Polished videos vs relatively unpolished hand filming it.

Either way, they got to the correct answer.

This is definitely not the least effort. They could’ve not done the shading between the folds of the clothes, skipped the whorls and swirls on the shovel handle, all sorts of things.

This just seems low-effort now because AI really did prefer this style, and stole it, but this took so much more effort than you’re giving them credit for.

This is exactly why artists hate AI, it doesn’t undervalue their work directly, it gets real people like you to undervalue it. Don’t let AI determine your opinions so easily.

If both snails start in different places, they’ll still eventually meet up as they converge on you.

After some time it’s the exact same benefit and problem.

That’s his point though, he does expect them to be able to set up themselves, and apparently Plex is good for that.

Let the people die.

The staff of the Magi explodes when its destroyed in a 30’ radius.

The people are dead either way, the staff can be saved.

No, you’re stupid, actually. Unless something you like is the thing I like, then you’re smart about that one.

What pivoting?

It changes the plans of shuttering a server, not offering a new one. Any such independent play patch soils only be released when a company is ready to end servers.

A new game previously intended to be released December 31st of this year, caught off guard with just one day of warning, could still release without changing a thing. The game will have servers for years to come, presumably.

Probably “fills in” would be a better word in this context. “Jucika fills in”, she’s taken on someone’s job for the day

Yeah, fair. I dont do a ton of that, myself.

I build a heavy cargo ship with a bunch of raw supplies, assemblers, roboports, and ingredients for a rocket, go to the planet, slap down a rocket, some solar, a roboport, and logistics chests, and leave.

If I have to return in person, I have failed my challenge.

What didn’t you like about the expansion?

Biggest complaint I’ve heard (besides Quality complainers) is that they don’t like that T3 modules got retconned into needing other planets to get.

I personally find that a good change, and also quality is ignorable. I don’t have nearly the hours you have into it, but a respectable high triple digit number, and about 200 I’d guess of those has been post-space age. Haven’t actually played base since space age launched.

It was Apple.
