Reminds me of this junk article about scary North Koreans infiltrating the remote work pipeline.

Basically, North Koreans are so poor they are stealing remote jobs from Americans. This is actually very scary, because they’re spies for the North Korean government. But, also, the North Korean government is lacking behind in their cyber-capabilities. Though, they’re also using cutting-edge AI tactics regular people can’t detect.

The article is functionally a remote working hit piece but implies many different, conflicting things about NK.

Who made you the hot take police, huh?

I can’t wait to enjoy this change in 4-5 years when I pick up Battlefield 6 for $1.50 on a Steam sale.

That’s great. I can find it just as funny without feeling genuinely sad.

the hell hahaha, what is the context of the original clip? is it satire? this is one of the best worst takes i’ve ever witnessed. usually leftists get chided for reading too many books and obsessing about theory. guess the standards change when it comes time to actually do something

They called me a Redditor, and suddenly I was trapped in a small red room where every upvote echoed like a scream from another dimension. A sickly, flickering glow from a basement monitor. There is light in the world, but not here.

One great benefit of the stop killing games initiative is the spotlight being put onto EULA’s. we all knew this is the wild shit EULA’s tried to dictate for years now, but now we have media actually reporting on it. even if SKG goes nowhere, at least we’ve had a revival of this massive consumer issue.

MGSV’s secret event ending is really fuckin’ cool and adjacent to the series’ overarching politics. i’ll spoil tag it but note it doesn’t weigh in on the main plot all that much

I use Kagi, if you’re interested in alternate search engines. It’s a paid service, something I’m happy to pay for in the effort to de-google myself. It downranks results that are ad-driven or use trackers. In effect the results it gives can be very even handed.

I actually want this and would display it proudly.

AI is really good at hallucinating a series of words until it falls into the places it expects the user wants it to, so while AI slop will never be more than AI slop, you can still make it write absolute bangers.

Downsizing the roo was a mistake. Now instead of chilling at home they’re diving in front of my car at night.

K-HOLE EXECUTIVE!!

I think that just further highlights the disparity between media and the real world - imo a separate issue libs also struggle with. When you’re raised on as much media content as a lot of westerners are, it leaves you alienated about what life is actually like.

I motion towards white collar workers gathering around the water cooler to discuss the latest shows, while blue collar workers like, actually hang out and drink after work. One of these groups is touching grass way more than the other.

I wish people/libs could see how self evidently different life in the ruling class is compared to the lives of most of humanity, and how that will clearly lead to radically different behaviors and ideals.

Even if you don’t want to acknowledge the systems of exploitation that billionaires require to exist, you have to inherently understand that billionaires have different, inaccessible life experiences, they’re incapable of understanding what most of humanity understands of day-to-day life, socialization, civic responsibility, etc.

If good billionaires did exist, their antisocial tendencies would make them less compatible with society than most violent criminals.

i am very insightful

You can do anything with teeth and enough conviction.

He must have thought that was so cool. I wonder how embarrassing it is to be a statesmen and have to deal with tim pool?

It tracks that the neural pathways you use the most are reinforced the most. He might have forgotten how to walk down some stairs but he’ll never forget how to blow up brown people.
