I remember when the Democrats were for the working man and they had my vote. Now... they aren't and don't. How did this happen...?

some theories say that when occupy wallstreet was happening something was needed to shift the attention off the class war.

some people call that a conspiracy theory, but looking back (how the attention to workers rights basically vanished and got replaced with other topics, and how the capitalist world got so much richer) it explains a lot of things very well.

I listened to this album about a dozen times trying to like it over the years, but it's just so repetitive I could not like it. I think you could probably cut the runtime in half and not lose any discrete musical parts.

Gatekeeping is required in any group that wishes to maintain any kind of quality. I run a book club; if I let in any random r/books poster (as an example) the discussions would become shit and the good members would leave. Ask me how I know.

No, they don't. But to the layman they do. Most people are unaware that you can get what is to them an impressive 3d game scaffold from the Unity asset store in like one hour. You can literally have a 3d man running around an open world with camera, lighting, shadows, run animations, in like 5 minutes. This is a very impressive feat if you have no idea about modern game engines, which 99.99999% of people do not.

As an amateur game dev who knows some amount of things, honestly, not coping, I have not seen anything come out of AI game dev that would have been more than like one month of human dev work. And obviously, games take a lot more than one month to make...

It is because English is an ambiguous input unlike a high level programming language. The output cannot help but be wrong sometimes when the input is ambiguous. See my comment here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49491797
