Kinda like a /. post.

Making and commercializing games with this toolset sounds like it may be the next RPGMaker (only more generalized to multiple genres). Lots of crap with recycled assets being schlepped at low prices. Hopefully there will be appropriate watermarks to keep such garbage from clogging up online stores.

That being said, producing simplified proofs-of-concept could be accomplished with this toolset. Designers/teams with actual talent could produce something better with non-AI assets.

Roblox is falling off:

Won't be long before the new generation looks at it as being stale and boring. Which is pretty much how anyone in the adult world sees it. Not sure what will replace it but Roblox will fade away eventually.

Doesn't really matter, permanent standard time would have the same effect.

With permanent DST we won't get the stories twice a year.

They'll need the money to settle all the resulting lawsuits.

There are conspiracy theories, but if you really don't want to engage in whataboutism then it's best not to waste time going through them here.

You aren't contradicting anything I'm saying. NSA/CIA, and maybe military intelligence (which will be working together with the NSA and CIA).

Let Altman face the consequences for the damage done by his AI. Seems like an acceptable trade-off.

Are you really interested in the many things Charlie Kirk had to say about gun violence? If you were, you could spend time looking up his extensive commentary rather than posting speculatively here.

Putting AI development under the oversight of the NSA and CIA seems like a bad idea. Which is what would happen were we to "nationalize it".
Our elected officials know nothing about AI and would be forced to resort to the few government agencies that might have understanding.

Also don't most of the rodent->human infections result in bubonic plague? The malady mentioned in the summary was said to be pneumonic plague, which is the same bacteria but much much worse.

Cars absolutely are a part of emergency kit. When you need to pack up and leave home to get to a shelter or rally point, your car is the first option. It might not be the BEST option (due to all the other people in their cars doing the same thing at the same time) but that's a different issue.

Expecting that everyone have a hand-cranked anything on hand is ludicrous. Everyone in the US has access to a car (usually), which is why putting AM radios in them assures that people will actually have radio access in time of need.

Clear Channel (and Sinclair) snapped up struggling stations nobody else wanted. Maybe take a hard look at the reason why people sold out?

Nobody's gaining marketshare from automobiles continuing to have AM radios in them. Even conservative talkers are going the hybrid podcast route. Savage and Shapiro basically dumped their AM broadcasts.
