Sounds like a good reason for these theoretical grassroots programmers to circumvent the regulatory agencies that are more of a hindrance than a help. ‘We cant do that because bureaucracy’ is such a non-starter.

The problems on the Southside aren’t fixed by high tech cameras and drones- those just get smashed and or looted for parts. Or the numbers look really bad so law enforcement doesn’t even bother because embarrassing the mayor’s office makes

Using the phrase ‘Social cleansing’ seems disingenuous to the point of manipulation. The term evokes death camps, eugenics and genocide, which isn’t what is going on here.

Sounds like terminology slip, then. People use the term democracy to describe the US, often in contrast to authoritarian dictatorships; but that is more of a crude definition, a colloquialism rather than an accurate description of US govern

What? Mulder is not a typical alpha male, he is a handsome outsider UFO nerd. Mulder rarely comes out on top in any physical altercations and in his interactions with other law enforcement he does not come off as ‘alpha’ at all.

Uh… telling them they should have to get 2 jobs seems like the absolutely wrong solution, here.

I bet many businesses would love that. More places of employment start acting like Walmart, where you have to be management to get a full time job with benefits. Everyone else has a shifting 30-35 hour schedule that makes it effectively imp

Sounds like a problem with the tests being administered. There is a lot of woo around LLMs, a lot of people have a vested interest in hyping and selling AI; heck, even referring to LLMs as AI is a form of branding.

Same style of crap the Brits are trying. More invasive garbage to saddle end users with, rather than properly vet and regulate the industry.

Accurate crime statistics are… let’s say, ‘discouraged,’ by the NYPD and the Mayor’s Office.

I mean, that sword cuts both ways. If you just decide that the other side of the aisle is comprised of monsters, why stop at making them uncomfortable or bullying them? Why not persecute them further? And why would they not do the same to y

To put them in prison they need to proven to have broken a law. What would that be? RICO violations? (Honestly asking).

Ah. Now I remember why I stopped playing. Valve funneled everyone away into their own servers and our private server died. After that the play experience, as you say, slowly turned into a horrorshow. Forgot about that bit. Oof.

The industry is currently very safe, so lowering hiring standards will not affect overall safety rates (much)? Is that the argument?

Investment has become increasingly decoupled from its reputed purpose; it’s not a means to an end, getting short term gains at all costs has become the end goal.

Dropping the gun is not sufficient to claim civilian status. Military bases are full of soldiers that may not be armed, or even awake. That lack of a gun does not suddenly grant them civilian status.
