No no, real numbers would hurt the bottom line. AI relies on great expectations and overly trusting techbros.

Psh, even I could do that!

Heads to Claude Code…

It’s so weird though. Do they not know it exists? Do they expect their customers not to know it exists?

When your primary competition is free (and arguably better), the last thing one should think to do is raise prices.

I can only assume that some C-suites are looking at numbers and don’t know what else to do but make the product more expensive.

At this point I just stay away from PVP, PVE, MMORPG, or anything thay requires me to connect and play with others.

Part of it is the number of bad actors. Another part is I just like having non-toxiv gaming time. I miss when single-player experiences were the norm.

We could be beyond it. What hasn’t happened quite yet are things like failing currencies, but it’s entirely possible we are beyond the point of no return. Once the giant ring of investments catches up with itself, the snake eats its own tail, the bottom drops out, and the greatest economic crash the world has ever seen stampedes unfettered through the lives of every person on the planet.

Almost too good to be a dad joke. Almost too bad to be repeated.

To look at this another way: the government of South Korea has decided to give people the feeling of a strike without actually letting it affect bottom lines in any meaningful way. That is, they have relegated the strike (a key utility of those fighting for workers’ rights) to being a tool used solely to assuage discontent in the short term. Without economic teeth, it cannot be used to enhance the lives of workers, which is ultimately the explicit goal of any strike.

South Korea is of course not alone in reducing or eliminating the rights of its citizens so that corporations continue to profit at their expense.

I’m quite new here but it seems to be a pretty good instance. Thanks!
