This should be the gold standard disclosure for human-made games. I haven't bought a new game in a while but I think i'll buy this one.

There should be a censorship board just for tv commercials. Just to clear out the low effort AI slop. You should have try a little harder if you want to trick people into gambling their life away.

Ran out of coffee filters, I had to fashion a paper towel into a makeshift filter and it worked fine. Turns out I am a genius at this highly niche and useless skill. After the apocalypse I will be in charge of making things into coffee filters.

60 Minutes (@60Minutes) on X:

“This is the first time in my adult life where there's been an issue that's come up that I feel like is going to directly impact me,” says Dave Lowe, a lifelong conservative Republican who lives near a proposed data center in Texas.

I made a short sort of retro review of Arkham Knight. Still feels great to play, still one of the best looking games of the 2010s. For reasons that only sort of make sense I spend 30 seconds of the video yelling at Judd Hirsch's character from Ordinary People. youtu.be/dWS200FLc7c

The U.S. AI industry is being run by a batshit rationalist sex cult, and no, I am not being hyperbolic - they’re genuinely Like That:
Erin Redwing
@realizingerin
I went to an rationalist/EA Al doomer event last night with the goal of meeting someone who could calmly explain to me the argument for how they get to the conclusion that Al will kill everyone.
Because these are rationalists, I expected to find people who could lay out a serious extinction pathway, walk through the assumptions and intermediate steps, identify choke points where negative pathways could potentially be regulated, and entertain disagreement about where their assumptions might break down.
My experience was the exact opposite.
The people I spoke to seemed psychologically unable to entertain the possibility that their conclusion (that Al literally kills everyone, which was a point that many would not even budge on) might be wrong.
Their most extreme conclusion was treated as an axiom.
I had multiple people walk out of conversations with me when I questioned their inevitable extinction premise.
At one point during a panel, the moderator asked everyone in the audience who was still skeptical of Al doom to raise their hands. About half the room did. He then told all of the skeptics to leave the panel and go with one of the speakers, who would answer their questions separately. They filtered out all the skeptics, and continued the panel only with the subset who accepted their extreme position.
I genuinely felt like a heretic just for questioning whether superintelligent Al inevitably leads to the extinction of humanity, or entertaining the possibility that the future might actually turn out well.
That does not mean Al safety is fake. Obviously there are serious questions about rapidly advancing Al systems and what happens as they become much more capable. Those are exactly the conversations I went there hoping to have.
But what I encountered was an apocalyptic death cult. These people are not rational. They are deeply afraid, they reinforce that fear in one another, and they have become so emotionally committed to apocalypse

Every interview with these shitbags should just be asking them why they're not in prison. Aren't you engaged in plagiarism and IP theft on a massive scale? Aren't you trying to impoverish billions of people? If your technology can kill us all shouldn't you go directly to jail? Jail at a minimum.
