Palworld had trailers for the game 3 years ago, long before AI was capable of this.

It's based off of an even older game called Craftopia that they also made and still maintain. I prefer Craftopia still. If Palworld is a rip-off, so is Digimon and so many other legal titles. Nobody owns an art style. Especially since the creators are Japanese, the country where this art style originated from.

- Lee Harvey Oswald?

We're not harming those Russian soldiers in Ukraine, we're helping them comply with international law.

This guy gets it. Safety first. I doubt they're targeting something far away, near-Earth asteroid would be most profitable from a delta-V point of view, and the real reason they're keeping their mouth shut.

If it was Russia or Iran sending a secret mission to a nearby asteroid, everyone would be collectively shitting their pants.

If the ownership structure of this corporation is opaque, it may actually be the case.

The problem isn't just Jodie Whittaker, it's all the decisions that led up to that terrible choice in casting and writing. The show is dead.

Either it's absolutely made up, or it's something deeply nefarious. Dropping seeds of invasive genetically modified species of plants over remote enemy territory sounds like something the spooks would do.

Imagine dropping corn seeds engineered to grow a toxic variety across enemy farms. Years of slashing and burning would be needed to guarantee none remains.

Plant seeds? PLANT SEEDS?

You mean like the original plant seed experiments on the Space Shuttle in the 1980's? You mean like the plant seed experiments we constantly hear about going on on the ISS? WTF does a military shuttle need to do plant seed experiments for? Haven't we done them all yet?

Someone with a relevant degree please explain to me why plant seed experiments would be important to the US military?

I've been saying this since Slashdot was new. It's a tragedy how slowly technology lawsuits wind their way through the courts. The industry goes through so many generations in the mean time that verdicts become largely irrelevant and ineffectual.

Considering how much we rely on technology, I think it's fair to say our civilization is fundamentally broken.

There's plenty of examples of plain "good versus evil" wars in the world. The Battle of Britain is a great example.

US soldiers are no good now.

It's because good soldiers are motivated by belief and love for what they're fighting for. There's not much left worth loving in the USA, and the low morale and recruitment shortfall reflects it.

...and nothing of value was lost.

Your assumption that the gender disparity in tech is based on discrimination is false.

The freer that people are to choose what to do with their life, the bigger the difference between what men and women choose.

That men and women are choosing to do different jobs is proof of what we know already, that we live in a very free society where we can grow up and do what we want without restrictions.

This means that the women at that job fair were not disadvantaged to begin with, and that fair should have been open to all with no guilt trips.

This goes against the social and political and sometimes legal narrative that women as a group are victimized, and that privileging women as a group will somehow fix things.

The only solution to past discrimination is present discrimination. The only solution to present discrimination is future discrimination. It's madness, and where I live it's made into law.

Wasn't it 1978 when women got the legal right to invade any men's spaces they felt like?

Most people here weren't alive when this issue was settled in law and morality.

Gender has no bearing on who can participate at work or in school. Why are so many people confused several generations later?

Civil rights don't have a hierarchy based on what group you belong to. That's why they're called human rights.

Here, legally, gender is whatever the person says it is. That's it. Full stop.

I've been told for at least a decade by the rainbow warrior political types that people can change their genders many times a day even, and it's horribly bigoted for that to be questioned in any way. Questioning someone's gender fluidity would be "literally murdering trans people". So I'm told.

I don't want to call you a bigot, but I understand why a gay and trans rights enthusiast would.
