It’s marketing hype, even in the name. It isn’t “AI” as decades of the actual AI field would define it, but credulous nerds really want their cyberpunkerino fantasies to come true so they buy into the hype label.

“And what games you can buy will be bundled with Ice Climbers. Always with Ice Climbers.”

Abolitionists don’t real. The only historically accurate western men were murderfucking like on based Westworld before that also got too political.

The treat printer stans will be very excited about this. Maybe this time, this one time, all that tech company lucre plundered from a nonconsenting public will trickle down this time.

There are actual vampires and they’re primarily Silicon Valley techbros. This is just muddying the waters and working as intended.

Being chronically online

Says the that came here two days later to continue tipping that totally-not-atheist fedora.

It’s been 2 days now.

Go away.

The irony is

I don’t care what you claim to be, especially 2 days later. Your bloviating is masturbatory, tiresome, and now days late.

Go away.

Fascists believing they can purge their way to whatever sad plastic suburban paradise that they think awaits them if only they purge a little more

A ledger that by definition shows every previous transaction on it is a honeypot for investigation just waiting to happen.

THE Museum of Neoliberalism in London is closing its doors for good this evening, before developers demolish and turn the site into luxury flats.

Founded by artists Darren Cullen and Gavin Grindon, the museum has been based in Leegate shopping centre in Lewisham since 2019.

The exhibition featured a timeline on the history of neoliberalism, and displayed artefacts including real-life anti-union posters, corporate-sponsored scout badges and an authentic bottle of urine from an Amazon employee.

Developer Galliard Homes plans to demolish the shopping centre where the museum stands, and build towers up to 15 storeys high accommodating 562 residential flats.

I still remember when one of the founding developers of the Diablo series quit after too much corporate skullduggery and went somewhere else to make Torchlight instead.

The corpos he left behind, failsons and businessbros that they were, left a Twitter message regarding that founder’s departure:

“FUCK THAT LOSER.”

That’s what pieces of shit were left in Blizzard ever after.

You were arguing with such an incredibly misanthropic piece of shit that of course they see a sufficient number of TI-88s bolted together as direct analogues to self-aware and conscious human intelligence.

Look at how that piece of shit treats other human beings: like the inferior “meat computers” that such a techbro mindset provides.

When something you love gets slowly corrupted.

I wonder if those “corruption” cliches in Blizzard game storytelling throughout the Kotick regime were a sort of subtle cry for help, the way Origin’s developers cried for help during Ultima VII with EA-logo evil magic devices and the like and the massive dunking on Richard “Lord British” Garriot in the Serpent Isle expansion after he fucked them over and sold them out and had a cynically celebratory bonfire party where all their hard work on a Privateer sequel and other projects was set ablaze because he was cashing out.

Kotick was an enjoyer of Little St. James Island, which may come as no surprise to some.

The other chilling implication was the belief that peace would reign if only every non-Christian was annihilated first.

You are projecting on me what you encountered in the past from nuatheist types.

No need to do that because you’ve been doing it in this ongoing comment chain and you apparently don’t even notice it, up to and including the “civility” masked put-downs and condescending remarks.

I have no need of that because I know what I’m seeing and I don’t like it.

and have explicitly said multiple times

Yes, and I’m calling bullshit each and every time because whatever you want it to look like it still reeks of a sense of superiority over the unwashed religious masses.

You don’t need to agree with my criticism, but if you’re going to attack me for it, I’d hope you’d have a better reason for why it is wrong other than what it is addressed towards.

This isn’t Reddit. I don’t even see the purpose of your “religion bad” smugposting on this particular board, let alone this particular thread. You’re not going to get congratulated much for the euphoria of being enlightened by your own intelligence here.

That’s an amusing decontextualization of what I said, but I don’t think it gets us closer to mutual understanding.

You’re not here for that. You just want to emphasize really, really hard just how superior you are to religious people.

I’m not religious myself, but I stopped saying “atheist” as a self-descriptor because it has been lately tarnished by sanctimoniously secular people that bloviate over others about their default state of superiority.

To put it in a less “amusing decontextualization” way, that’s you.

idk, people are all for “ruthless criticism of all that exists” when it comes to things they dislike

Encounters with pseudo-intellectualism should not turn you into an anti-intellectual.

“Agree with me or you’re not an intellectual.”

Do you have any self awareness at all or are you still stuck years back in Reddit’s Faces of Atheism mode?
