It’s a nice idea, but a design feature built in to most countries is that the majority of people are too poor to skip a day of work. Losing their job, or simply not being paid for a days work could tip people into starvation, default on existing debts, or loss of access to expensive medication.

Anyone high enough on the pyramid to be the target of such a protest does not care if the economy tanks. They control the country now, they can just defund education even more than it already is to line their pockets.

Our media is just better at being wilfully ignorant of the corruption unless it’s about the price of milk.

But did either of those boomers floss over the corpses of their enemies while huffing insane amounts of galaxy gas, then say “The names Toilet. Skibidi Toilet”. This could be the shot in the arm that the James Bond franchise needed!

I feel like my understanding of today’s youth is in on par with the average game publisher. And for that reason I am not anticipating this game.

“put me in a terrible position, with no recourse against others who are blatantly and repeatedly stealing my work.”

This is an Onion article, right? No one can be this deliberately and hilariously ironically. Fuck AI, and fuck these techbros.

By working with Midjourney, he adds a human touch to historical storytelling

What part of the process is the human part? The bit where he asks the climate-destroying computer for a picture of a city he admittedly knows very little about? Or is the human part all of the art and images that were used to create a plagiarised AND inaccurate image of history?

The guy walks into a historical building, and upon seeing some art, his first response is “I wonder what that art is about, maybe my followers can tell me”. This is the guy who is creating historical images of the city? The guy who only learnt recently that large ships were not historically seen in the harbour? I’ll admit my knowledge of Amsterdam is lacking, but I’m not trying to pass AI slop off as historically accurate representations of the past.

You want to bring history to life? Ask a historian about the history, and pay an artist to accurately represent the truth.

The kicker is that owning the disk entitles you to a piece of plastic, and not much more at the moment. When servers go down, or day one patches are no longer available, the disk becomes no better than a coaster for many modern games.

If your only requirement is that a man once existed by the name of Jesus and was crucified, then the bar is on the floor. Jesus was not a rare name, and the Romans crucified many, many people. It is not out of the realm of possibility that these two common data points would overlap and give us a crucified Jesus.

Is there proof that it was THE Jesus though? Do we have corroborating evidence of a man travelling the countryside with his posse, changing the minds and hearts of the masses?

Class names that end in “Coordinator” technically belong down The bottom…
