Yep, and Colbert has no reason to pull any punches either. They already canceled his show to appease the administration. Why would Stephen hesitate to tell the world every time CBS bends the knee?

Good on him for calling out every time they act as state propaganda and not a news network.

The people in power are the same ones who created DOGE. It's like Epstein - not like they're going to investigate themselves.

A lot of companies seem to automatically delist things that get mass reported, which makes them subject to interference by armies of paid or unpaid trolls. Hopefully the issue gets corrected but this seems to happen more and more frequently.

What do you have against the British overseas territory of Anguilla? Ultra-specific geographical prejudice.

There's a good 3blue1brown video that walks through the actual math they can perform, which does a lot to temper expectations about what they can accomplish and how much of an improvement they would be over digital computers for certain types of problems.

An orange cat could outsmart this orange president.

Every other genus: "We don't want her either."

Yeah, I agree, and that's what I was trying to get at with the last point. I think morality systems in the sense of a binary choice with a scorecard is exactly why those systems are unsatisfying. Real choices have complex consequences and games are more immersive when they show that versus when everything boils down to a simple "good" or "bad."

The games that do moral choices well do still give you feedback - alternate endings or lasting changes in the world - but it's not as simple as one number or slider showing a morality spectrum.

I'd put Witcher 3 and The Alters on the list. Both of them give you choices where it's not really clear which is the "good" or "bad" one. And if you play through both, you find that neither is one-sided - everything has pros and cons, and even if you judged one option to be morally better in the moment, you still have to live with the negative as well as the positive consequences of your actions.

Maybe you could argue that those aren't traditional morality systems, but for me, that's why they work.

Their best and brightest were fired or retired.

For context, the genocide started 80 years ago.
