Republicans just wear the irony on their shoulders at this point. Zero fks to give about any of the values they used to stand for. Wars, budget, family values? pppsshshshsh we're making $$, to hell with your outdated "values"

Law and order party fighting like to hell to normalize sports booking? Totally fking scans. Eventually, when it blows up in their face and legions of gambling addicts do what they always do, these ghouls will find a way to blame Biden and the dems for letting them do it.

Just another day in backwards-upside-down-world.

In a couple hundred years, the pirate sites and torrent indexers are going to be the go-to sources for the study of current day lifestyles and culture. Stories like this will be popping up every couple of years from then to now.

Seems to me, a lot of the "server side" content is just choices made in development to keep control of the game system out of consumers hands. These are design choices, not technical limitations.

"We cant let you run your own server to keep our abandoned game up because we designed the game in a way that wont allow us to do that"

These choices can just as easily not be made. We live in the era of 100gb+ game patches. There's no real excuse for this kind of game design aside from straight up obsolescence.

When my car gets broken into the cops shrug. Once I was told I can fill out a report but it's "not going to be a priority"

Seems the rich and famous get a different justice system on both ends.

I actually had my fingers crossed, AAAANNNDDDDD You didn't say no backsies and whoops, no money! Sorry, we broke- Fighting not-wars and funding federal jump-out squads is not cheap!

Tough luck.

Does anybody actually think this administration even has the money to pay back? This is going to be the biggest shitshow in American history. We're going to be talking about "the tariff refund scandal" for decades.

We're a whole society full of over stimulated sexed up violent greedy weirdos.

We're constantly at war, and the majority of our people are all kept just a single paycheck from total financial destruction. Our schools get shot up. Our clinics get bombed, and our people are dying on the streets to drugs and hunger. Our leaders insist half of us are monsters deserving of death while threatening genocide.

But shed a tear for Altmans home. Lookout for those CEOs.

There's tons of options parents can tap to control the digital tools and toys their kids can access. The people pushing this are same ones who'll scream "DONT TELL ME HOW TO PARENT MY CHILD" when you attempt to hold them accountable for the action/inaction of their children.

WTF. Why do we let parents off the hook for this kind of thing?

Before he went political? We're talking about Colbert? Of... the Colbert Report?

HEY! Where's everybody going? We're the same as Anthropic, HONEST! WAIT! DONT GO!

This is the dystopian AI future we're walking into. Endless generated versions of everything- copies of copies of copies and the original creators just buried under mountains of bullshit. And that's what they're aiming for.

The money is injecting hundreds of billions of dollars into this tech so that in a couple of years they can have skinjobs walking around with ripped off liknesses and bootlegged voices doing the things we used to do ourselves without paying us for it.

We've seen a lot of movies play our the robot revolution, but the corpos stealing of likeness angle? Fun.

Its funny, in the 90s and 00s- everything was new again because we were doing it online, and it let to the .com bubble. Now here we are- witnessing the same shit play out again, complete with the same things we've all already decided were not OK- because its AI.

We can't sell you little worker people new tech anymore.

Use what you've got, it's plenty. We're busy building a GOD.

-AI CEOs- probably.

Every couple of years we hear about another tranche of spooks security tools leaking out.

Make it even higher than that- or remove the cap all together. What's the big idea giving those who don't need it a pass anyway? Something is going to have to change.

SS is the carrot that keeps us all quietly working. You want to start a revolution? End SS.

No, they'll still get care- they'll just pay for it with the fortune that only an entire lifetime of easy economic opportunity brings. They spent their whole lives building the very system that's going to suck them dry. There might have been some help to take some of the pressure of, but as a voting bloc, they reliably voted against it every chance they had.

End of life care is now basically built specifically to extract all of the wealth from the boomer generation. When they're gone things are going to drastically change because the math wont work- the rest of us don't have even close to the resources they've managed to accrue.

Hard to tell, and that's part of what makes the movie so great.
