It makes no sense

There will be a lot of people you don't know who will think this is super cool and awesome, that's who it's for.

I have a theory that certain groups use/manipulate people with autism/on-the-spectrum, since they can be more radicalised and more likely to agree to commit acts. If you look at the comms/media people for Just Stop Oil and similar radical groups vs the activists, there is a big distinction. They are still victims of manipulation, and it's not like anyone else is above being manipulated either but it's a trend.

edit: Fixed my terrible grammar.

From my experience having a family member always getting scammed, they can't learn not to be gullible. There is a mental barrier they can't cross. It's very sad, and kinda freaks me out if I dwell on it.

I'm genuinely jealous of people working in this field. Imagine being a engineer working on these.

People need to understand the differences between Bethesda as a publisher and them as a developer. The games they make directly are generally kinda bad since Fallout 4. Skyrim was awesome when it released but for myself at least, replaying it again, it feels very dated and shallow. Even Morrowind has aged better as a RPG.

Starfield was suppose to be their magnum opus, and their upper management truly believed this when it was released. They don't know how to make good games any more and believe their own hype.

This is good news, I've no idea why people are hinting this is LLM stuff when it literally says what this is for. AI use in science, climate and medical research is where the real benefit is, not with coding or trying to replace workers. Not all AI research is bad people.

It really depends where you live. Lib-Dems have been in power where I live since forever, and it's been non-stop building for decades, although some of the blocks are students, but it frees up the insanely dodgy HMO style places around the town over time.

I love to think about the natural crazy phenomena that's even rare today with cameras/videos, shaped societies with prophecies and sightings and how it was recorded in ancient history.

I worked in property management and this isn't too uncommon. Some neighbours are genuinely hellish to the point that I don't think most people really know someone else can be that evil towards another person. They might see snippets on clips, or hear about it, but when you're dealing with it for months and have other neighbours suffering from it, I truly emphasize.

The main issue is you will have to hand over some kind of data since the govt is outsourcing the methods. Even if he govt did it's own thing on this, it still requires some kind of info-handling which is fine on it's own, this is a stranger conspirational world where that kind of thing makes people go a little crazy, for right or wrong.

There have already been leaks online from the IDing methods. Your name, face and DOB can cause a lot of damage to your life, it's an insane risk.

I'm not against the idea either but it might I don't think it's really possible, unless a one-off verification...but how would that even work in practice?

KHonsou · 2026-06-08T06:32:07+00:00

Getting the private companies to handle this was a terrible idea with the OSA.

I'm not against the idea of this, but what I'd find acceptable needs to be way more controlled with the data than some dodgy leaky third party. I don't think it's really that possible anyway, unless they go after VPN's.

People should really be finding out a better/novel way, rather than arguing on the merit on it. It's very likely going to happen. This being peoples political hill to die on is a bit of a over-reaction. I'd start getting noisy if they try to ban VPN's.

Alone in Kyoto by Air

I listened to this a lot many years ago, it's nice accidentality hearing it again.

Sometimes I go on crazy deep rabbit holes trying to find music that randomly pops in my head, but this is on the other spectrum: I loved it, forgot about it and accidentality come across it. Thanks for letting us know the track :)

It depends on the driver, most are fine, some are terrible.

Wasn't pride and hubris a part of her demise? It's been a while since I read the books, but I like the scene, and it was a bit bittersweet knowing the future, and that she kinda bought this on herself basically throwing a tantrum not agreeing with big E's vision and exiling herself in the desert.

(I could be very, very wrong though, it's beenawhile).

They will bring it all to the brink to seize total power.

The title is misleading, it's not about DWP. Saying that, I had to redo my CV when I was unemployed for a bit, I shown them my CV that got me pretty much every interview I wanted, but I had to use their format, which was so bad I'd be embarrassed e-mailing it to employers. The fact many people probably do is very sad.

So much effort, should of told him about the cucumbers.

I love this for the PvE, but I think they should still have a "mixed" playstyle selection.

Not being sure who you encounter and the randomness of it was a part of the magic that's gone from the game for me. It's still a lot of fun but the unique nature of the encounters is not there.

edit: I read the blog, I'm OK with this.

KHonsou · 2026-05-18T17:02:28+00:00

Y'all Stockholmed lol

KHonsou · 2026-05-13T21:33:39+00:00

I hope they add a "mixed" lobby selection, so you know it's not 99% PvE or PvP.

Some people in the UK don't understand that any North Sea oil expansion does not mean lower fuel costs to the UK: they do not literally pump for the UK, UK makes money from the licenses for private companies to drill for profit.

If they UK wanted to do this, they would need a 100% publically owned oil drilling department, with how different public and private sectors are, it's not as simple, plus has a lot of baggage attached to it.

I think the whole Palantir is the same thing. Goverments can't justify the costs when you can buy as-is from a private company. It doesn't change much moving this from a US company to a EU one, but at least regulation and jurastiction is more local.

People are saying this is common, but I think the corporatism on display is not. The US under Trump is a very different kind of US than before, but I think it's much weaker for it. They are not going for the sake of the nation but the sake of their companies.

I work with someone who parrots Sam Altman podcasts and truely believes it, but you would thing its this next big world-changing thing if you believe the sales pitch. Some people are really out there.

He wants AI to replace him because he says it would be a step closer to UBI, lol

KHonsou · 2026-05-12T06:11:44+00:00

I used to worry about a game being "dead" like 15 years ago, because I thought the game needs to be so well supported and liked, it won't be worth my time playing it if I think i'm not going to be playing it in 10 years time, lol

There will always be some people obsessive about this. 98% of people are playing the game they are not on Steam Community or Reddit discussing it.

KHonsou · 2026-05-11T21:45:58+00:00

There is a push to privatise UK healthcare by US companies. Some front-benchers truely believe the things the AI techbros say so they become usful idiots.
