...until AI decides to do something (we see as) stupid because the datapoints didn't teach it that specific combat situation.
AI can't assess the combat situation and decide against an order which is based on incomplete data and would lead to a disaster.

Random example: AI-piloted fighter engages enemy above a civilian populated area, at some point the enemy target is between AI airplane and ground, a missile could be launched, but if the missile misses the target, it would slam into that nice neighborhood. AI has orders to destroy the enemy, fires said rocket, which misses and slams into said nice neighborhood. Boom, hundreds dead.

Sure, you could implement an exception, than an exception to that exception, then... you know. A whole web of intertwined decision trees. Neat, but SLOW. Won't work either.

A human pilot could also make mistakes, but they would understand responsibility and generally err on the side of protecting civilians, sometimes against their immediate orders (or maybe I am THAT naive). The AI would not, unless it's taught a LOT more things than just how to fight, and there will always be huge gaps in its training, simply because it doesn't have 25+ years of human life under its belt.

I stand corrected. Still, if the game worked fine without account linking, it goes to prove that mandatory account linking is not, well, mandatory for any reason other than "Sony wants to".

I agree linking accounts is not such a big deal.
However...
The core issue is the proverbial "altered deal".
When Joe Q. Gamer went and bought the game, he could play the game without having to link accounts, as the feature was optional.
Months later, it suddenly becomes mandatory, or else.
It's like buying a car which has an optional "free streaming of a fiddle music radio station". You don't care about that, so you ignore it. Six months later, they tell you "Oh, by the way, that fiddle music radio station is now mandatory to be ON at all times, otherwise that car of yours? Yeah... it's not going to start."

Of course people are pissed, exactly because linking accounts is not a big deal. If it's not a big deal, why on Earth would the game be DISABLED if you don't do it?
At most, I could (reluctantly) accept missing whatever future DLCs which would only be available through PSN. But losing access to the game I paid for and own, which worked fine without that account linking crap? That's bullshit, man, and you know it.

Note: I don't own the game; it wasn't even in my Steam wishlist. But I just took a look and review drop is brutal. 108K reviews, mostly negative. Ouch.
One negative review caught my eye, I will quote it below:

Rogue One is a great movie, I'll give you that.
Mandalorian started OK (not great, but OK), then lost its way. Season 3 was very underwhelming.
Andor was good, but I'm not holding my breath. Let's see what Season 2 brings.
Obi-Wan was crap. Ahsoka (not Ashoka, by the way) was crappier. I haven't watched Boba Fett, no opinion there.
And I openly admit I'm too old, mentally, to enjoy the animations.

If anything, the Star Wars francize could be characterized as "inconsistent". It's like that sadistic father who caresses his child one minute and slaps him the next.

Pushing something beyond its immediate intended usage is one thing. Having close to 5K tabs open is a different problem, one that goes deep into the realm of pathology.

2x webmail tabs.
2x Social Media tabs.
2x work-related web apps.
Home Assistant.
Unraid.
Ubiquiti Monitoring.
2x 3D Printer tabs.
Blue Iris Webapp.

That's 12 tabs I access several times a day. They are all pinned, they don't take much on the tab bar.
Apart from those, my browser can balloon to 20+ other tabs when I perform whatever subject research, but then I need to clean them up.

Believe it or not, I know quite a few people who had, and still have, the opportunity to live in a detached house, and still would rather live in an apartment in a block.
I'm the other way around. I lived in apartments and hated them. I lived in houses and loved them. Wouldn't go back to an apartment for the life of me.
But not everyone is the same.

There's way more competition nowadays, therefore it's more difficult for Intel to continue as they were used to.
Their fall will likely take a decade or more, if they don't change at all.

Those are not universal wants, you know.
Those are the product of a specific culture. Namely, "the American dream".

Yeah, because EU people have more important priorities than a huge car and/or a huge house. Quite the shocker...

Unless all jobs of type X use the exact same hours.
This reductio ad absurdum you use is stupid, no offense. "Choosing" another job is an exception, rather than the rule. In most cases, people get whatever jobs they can, rather than whatever jobs they choose.

That didn't ever happen throughout the human history.
Believing it would start happening now is a delusion.

Yeah, that has been disproven. Just look at how many people still vote for the same dude, after they have been deeply penetrated by said dude.

Reporting them also blocks them.
But it seems my point is often missed.
I am not complaining about me seeing those ads. I can easily figure them out for what they really are. This is about everyone else receiving them - which means some of those people would fall for them, thus encouraging more scamming and so on. This is also about Facebook having zero accountability when those ads are reported.

My next step is to contact local authorities. I haven't had the time to do so yet, but it's become a big enough problem to prioritize this.

That may solve the problem for me, but it doesn't solve the problem for the billions of people who are still bombarded with shit.
