A “technical error” consisting of a very deliberately placed ad for their new game that occurs at a very specific in-game action....yeah I’m going to call bullsh*t on that one.

He didn’t say they were lying about the incident *being* an error. He is asking for more clarification on the *nature* of the error. Probably something like: Was this a new feature being tested that got leaked? How did it come about that timely, live advertisements are tied to in-game button presses? What about…

Lol this would be the most Ubisoft thing to do. Put me in the “accidentally leaked” camp.

Running Man is absolutely a political satire - the Richard Bachman (aka Stephen King) book it is based on even more so.

There is a discussion about OpenAI having made a leap towards AGI (Artificial General Intelligence). The Holy Grail being an AI capable of mathematical computation not just parroting LLMs.

AI safety isn’t a real thing. Shocking!
Next you’re going to tell me cigarettes are bad for me. 

1984 - Touching story of a man who reconnects with his brother.

Other stories with minor themes that people always blow out of proportion:

I can top that! One guy I know insists that Heinlein’s Starship Troopers (the book) isn’t fascit, and that Verhoeven’s Starship Troopers (the movie) isn’t parodying fascism.

Makes me think of all the young (and not so young) guys who started their own backyard fight clubs after that movie came out, or folks having Hunger Games-inspired opulent dinner parties. Folks just zoom in on the things they like about a movie or other entertainment and ignore the rest. I am sure there are plenty of…

I’ve had people with all sincerity tell me the original Star Wars and Star Trek were never political. People see what they want to see.

I once had a right-wing “anti-sjw” guy give me Robocop as his example of movie that is non-political.

That’s....actually a good policy.

So you know how in the US even a little sexuality gets a game an M rating? The same is true in Japan for any game that allows killing civillians. In Goldeneye you can kill scientists and in Jet Force Gemini you can kill the civillians.

I “borrowed” this from another Kinja poster.  I just find it incredibly ironic for so many wealthy folks.

She has definitely pissed away her reputation since joining Twi-X, only part of which is her fault.

Narcissist cannot accept that he’s the problem. Shocker.

I can’t wait until the day law enforcement finds him inside his locked home dead of autoerotic asphyxiation, the CP still playing on a loop as the pale light of his laptop washes over his bloated lifeless face.
