"There's a fair likelihood that if we don't do a course correction, we're going to have a truly two-tier system," Acemoglu told me. "A small number of people are going to be on top — they're going to design and use those technologies — and a very large number of people will only have marginal jobs, or not very meaningful jobs."

So one group owns the systems that produce the output, while the other gets exploited by said systems.

Yeah, gee, where have I heard all this before.

Judging by the downvotes, it seems Terfs are unwelcome here.

You could take that as a sign.

Yeah, I got the sense they had to cut some of the story out late in development to make a deadline or something. I dunno.

But it's hard to get very specific what I mean without giving away a boatload of spoilers.

If the launch code is "Person Woman Man Camera TV" then we're really screwed.

I finished it yesterday as well! Lots of things I loved about this. For me, third act kind of fell on its face a little bit, but that wasn't enough to put me off, I still really enjoyed it.

I just finished it yesterday. Verdict? Super fun, gameplay is great, looks beautiful, has a retro vibe. The story... is okay.

"It’s communist propaganda to point out the vast inequality that continues to worsen."

No you’re right, everything is just peachy.

The fake outside has such a postapocalyptic feel to it.

Some people don't way to spend their time and money running instances for a bunch of people they don't like.

Better call the cops.

Will that be before or after Jared brings peace to the Middle East?

Will it get more visibility if I just let stuff die before working on know timebombs???

Frankly, yes. Solving an artificial crisis will get you way further in your career than preventing the crisis from having happened in the first place.

Just imagine if he hadn't hitched his wagon to the S.S. Trumptanic. He could be working a comfy legal/political analyst position at Fox News or CNN and not have to worry about losing his license, his credibility, his money, and his freedom. Oh well.

 

Steve Huffman said in an interview that Elon Musk's cost-cutting at Twitter was inspiring and that the two have chatted "a handful of times."
