The problem is that even if Musk promised you that, he could (and likely would) randomly change his mind a day later and just scoff at everyone being upset about it.

As very stable geniuses go, he is one of the least stable.

The ads being there makes the whole thing subscription thing just insulting. “Yeah, we have a userbase of half a billion people who we bombard with ads constantly but we’ve decided we still don’t have enough money. Pity donation plz.”

“but the prospect of earning a significant amount from the feature seems dubious at best.”

but it doesn’t pay for validation. it literally just pays for the checkmark

Anymore when I see the blue check I assume they’re a Trumper and move on. They’re happily giving their $8 to Musk.

LOL what L is he taking?  The one where extreme pedantry is the W?

30 years is nearly the entire history of home gaming, so of course “always” and “the last 30 years” are synonyms. What video game movie based on an atari game do you want them to have released in the 1980s? Pong? Pacman? Joust?

See Tommy. See Tron.

Go ahead and take it. The first crop of mainstream video game movies were the mid-90s with Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat and the Mario Brothers. So as soon as there were game characters with enough of a purchase to hang a story on, there have been game movies. It makes sense it happened with second gen games as it…

“the last 30 years” may as well be “always” in terms of video games.

That sounds like an excuse to me. Write a poem from a place of honesty, work on it as much as you feel appropriate, and then let the world decide whether or not it’s brilliant, which it will anyway.

That show was too beautiful for this world. 

This is also a reminder that it’s been 8 years since Craig Ferguson (and Geoff the robot) had a nightly talk show.

Step 1. Generate thousands of poems with an AI

I’d really like to hear the original serial killer lyrics of Maniac.

We are fucked because people are idiots, your teacher seems like a right tool.

Your teacher sounds depressed, like an AI made a poem they liked and so now it’s pointless for them to write? The point of making a poem is not to make it “brilliant” in my opinion, the act of writing and creative expression is what makes art. Someone should lie to your teacher and tell them it was a real human…

Was that comment necessary? Unless your a vampire and lived for so long that always isn’t just when the first video game was created, oh wait even there you have no point.
