They’re free to go live in the wilderness, with no roads, no fire department, no water or electricity, no services whatever, and find out how much they’re actually benefiting from our collective.
That’s the neat part. They do try, repeatedly, and it always fails. A classic one is Grafton. It’s also known as A Libertarian Walks into a Bear because their little paradise got overrun by aggressive bears. Lack of public services will do that.

It might make players demand lower prices if some cheap AI slop is used in the game. That’s the thing publishers want to avoid. They want to sell cheap slop for full price and pocket the difference. That’s what it’s about in the end.

Like is often said, for many it’s easier to imagine the end of the world than it is to imagine the end of capitalism.

That reminds me how McDonald’s and other gaat food chains are struggling. People figure it’s too expensive for what you get after prices going up and quality going down for years. They forgot that people buy if the price and quality are good. Same with AI. It’s all fun if it’s free or dirt cheap, but people don’t buy expensive slop.

And most likely it’s because of that movie that regular people know a Cretaceous even existed and what animals where there. It did kick the field and public interest into high gear.

That’s why they add gambling mechanics in games. That way many can not stop playing.

Usually by irritating the magic incantation: “This time it’s different!”
Of course it’s not. The same human motivations are in play that also caused the same problems over the last few millennia, just with different names attached to it.

It’s pretty common for animals in the meat industry. A broiler chicken goes from hatching to supermarket in 6 weeks. That’s what’s being called efficiency these days.

My neighbor tried to raise some turkeys for Christmas. Those were bred to grow really quickly but his timing was off. They have to be slaughtered within a small window before they get too fat and their hearts give out. He had to do an early Christmas.

That’s like asking if boys don’t want to do stuff unless they can turn it into a game or competition.
- Comment on He makes a great point 5 weeks ago:
Humans can’t even comprehend everything by speech alone. “I’m fine” and the need to add /s on the internet for examples.

Other way around. English is German, Dutch and French thrown in the blender and left to ferment.

It’s a funny one. I forced it to give links to the information it produces, so I can check. There have been a number of 404s in those links.

It doesn’t have to be that style. That launcher is so flexible, you can customize your phone like crazy. Apple’s glass look, windows phone look, … But that’s me. People don’t touch my phone because they can’t operate it anymore.
