Lovecraft has been dead for 80 years, the problem with endlessly milking the Potter franchise is that it gives money to a hatemonger who openly and actively funnels it into harming a minority group.

The difference is that Lovecraft is dead and his works are out of copyright. No one’s enriching him by engaging with his stories.

Came here to say this. Worrying out surveillance issues is a huge stretch here. This is simply a good thing if it cuts down on high speed chases.

37mph is slow enough that it’s unlikely to explode a pedestrian’s head or anything. I guess if this leads to fewer high speed chases, this is good? The trackers look big and obvious enough to limit most creeptastic uses.

Not really sure how you can coherently take “end police chases” as a policy position (a reasonable one, by the way), recognize that a huge number of cars involved in illicit activity in NYC have fake paper plates, and then also reject any means of tracking these vehicles as government overreach.

A video gaming site deployed hyperbole followed by facts? That’s never ever happened before in the history of journalism.

Not suprising, apparently all you have to do is suggest a gamer is wrong about some bit of techinical data and they’ll post classified documents.

I think that’s a copout excuse that gives people a convenient boogeyman to blame in situations like this.  The world for centuries has catered to straight males, a large percentage of it catered to straight white males.  The video game industry has been no different.  Any change to that status quo is regarded as an…

“That’s... not really a heist.”

Needs more packing peanuts.

I mean, im sure they didnt have to try very hard. Most anyone who describes themselves as a “Hardcore Gamer (tm)” already sympathizes greatly with right wing authoritarianism.

I guarantee no one cares that much why he was fired from his retail job.   It’s not like he had top secret clearance and leaked classified documents.  Or leaked HIPAA data 

If you’re going to leak your employers confidential information, maybe at least try to cover your tracks, even just a little.

There’s not likely going to be anyone telling a future employee that he did that.

Screw GameStop for paying and treating their employees like shit but like...don’t violate company policies and leak shit should be really simple, basic, easy “How to not get fired 101" shit. Especially if you leak things through accounts that are in any way, shape, or form traceable back to you. Especially if it’s…

So, what’s the over-under on how long it takes before they find the 21 year old boyfriend? A week?

Right, because it is always and solely for the benefit of the workers? ^^
Looking at the state of jobs today, there aren’t less of them, we’re not working (much) less, wages somewhat stagnate and the rift between rich and poor grows bigger and bigger. How is this any different than before?

The article cites artists who’ve found themselves pushed out of work by AI, and since our ability to eat and have a roof over our heads is (unfortunately) tied to said work, this means AI has directly endagered their ability to survive.

60fps on the hardware you’re advertising the game on isn’t really too high of an expectation in 2023 though...

you mean free people up to pursue a career in something fulfilling that they might actually enjoy, such as art?
