Apparently, people are willing to pay real-life ticket prices to see these pretend shows.

I mean when she tried to score progressive points by talking about the FBI raid in terms of the black and brown community was definitely at least as tone deaf as that lol.

She also depicts herself as basically being scammed by Rick Singer. But in what way is Singer a “con-man?” Huffman knowingly paid for a service and Singer provided it. If I pay a criminal to do something and he does it, I’m not a victim.

Yeah, I don’t understand any of the thinking here. You had unlimited money. Why didn’t you 1) get her tutors? 2) Get her an SAT prep course? 3) Pay for her to go to an excellent private school that would have prepared her for college? 4) Let her go to a state school or a community college until she was ready?

I think there’s one more aspect. It wasn’t really for their daughter, it was for themselves. If they didn’t get into a prestigious school they felt it was a failure on their behalf. That others would think less of them in their fucked up circle. 

“It felt like I had to give my daughter a chance at a future,” said Huffman. “And so it was sort of like my daughter’s future, which meant I had to break the law.”

It’s all ridiculous, but I think there’s some genuine insight here into how the wealthy view the world.

>But there is no logical reason for her to be a Paladin, even with 5E’s loosy goosy half assed requirements.

She’s a Vengeance Paladin.

As you say, it makes logical sense and none of the dialogue would have to change. I’m glad they did this. Only being able to recruit her by being evil when it still makes sense the other way, in its own way feels like a game that implements invisible walls instead of creative level design. It’s the right move in my…

FWIW, as someone who still looks at Twitter on their phone, at this point more than half of ads have community notes that warn “this is not what the video game looks like” or “this seller is a 3rd party that will steal your information”.

I wish he would die already

The whole interview is a doozy.

Yep. Creating expressive, well-meaning art requires empathy, and AI, nor business executives are capable of that.

Because they aren’t artificial intelligence in any meaningful way, but rather are probabilistic predictive systems that are good at correlating tagged data from large datasets?

100% he’s wearing that jacket because he just got finished playing a bunch of Cyberpunk and thinks he’s a real Choom

rebel without a clue.

If midlife crises were a uniform they’d definitely be a cosplay maverick bomber jacket.

No good writer exists without some crippling self-doubt. Overconfidence breeds hacks.

My biggest gripe with AI LLMs is they don’t do “maybe im wrong” or “im unsure, this is my best guess”. They just spew everything as fact. It would be nice if they could add a confidence score next to their answer.
