That’s about it.

A best, they just wanted to complain. At worst, they wanted to goad him into doing it so they could complain about the collateral damage, not that they would have given a single fuck about any lives lost.

Unfortunately, they just got to complain about him taking too long.

It’s the new blockchain: everybody’s got to have it, but no one knows how it will actually make their work better.

I mean I’ve always said the best way to drop a nuke exactly where you want it is to just launch it into the jet stream and let Jesus take the wheel.

To be scrupulously fair, nobody wanted it shot down over land. Some Republicans were just bored and wanted an excuse to yell at Biden.

And people wanted that massive thing shot down over land. Insanity.

I believe there are two severe and widespread misconceptions about ChatGPT that, if better understood, would dampen some of the public excitement about the tech:

Well, we’re on Kotaku and it’s the highest-profile merger in gaming in the news right now we’re in the comment section for an article about Microsoft.

“Speaking of mergers, let’s not ignore that fact that the target is Activision-Blizzard-King.”

What’s that famous phrase? Two wrongs make a right? No, no, that’s not it.

It’s not. Different studios could have bought up different IPs. Or Activision could have filed for bankruptcy and restructured on its own. As for “instead” of people losing their jobs, isn’t the Microsoft trying to buy Activision the same Microsoft as this one?:

You’re right and the fact that most of the arguments against it are either trying to focus on “lots of mergers happen” or “the games will be better” (or some variation on that) shows that many people don’t know what they’re talking about.

Even stars get so massive they collapse on themselves.

Mergers happen all the time and nobody freaks out, it’s just the mergers that get a lot of headlines. Heinz and Kraft just had a merger and nobody flipped their lid.

They should have.

Mergers are inevitable.

That doesn’t make it okay.

It’s a huge merger, and huge mergers are ultimately bad for consumers, especially in already-rapidly consolidating industry like video games, to say nothing of the employees that will undoubtedly get laid off after the merger is approved. It’s not about just CaLl oF DUtY.

One thing that they’ll need to do in order to keep the COVID vaccine uptake higher, is to not let it fall into “you have to have insurance to afford it” territory.
