Truth is the central problem with your comments, though. It's not a minor problem that can be routed around.

I just keep going back to Starship Troopers Extermination. Its 16 player player vs computer (bugs). Not a perfect game by any means, but I just don't want to be in PvP matches, and this game saves me from that.
I play with a light military sim discord which makes things way more fun. 1stmi.gg

I'm leaning towards layoffs.

I would like to think that it be for something serious.
By serious I don't mean an annual general (heh) meeting. I mean either 'the federal govt layoffs are coming and high command will be cut by 25%' or 'We're getting into a fight with China over Taiwan. Soon. Really'

Yeah. Most of that divergent stuff has come from people having too much access to weird porn and finding it hard to accomplish the proverbial 'get a girlfriend'. Whilst I'm sure there's some small % of the Queer population that'd lean that way regardless, but there's a pretty heavy social contagion that's only been exacerbated by systematic dysfunction in normal hetero relationship formation.

I got up to the swamp biome before moving on from SilkSong, but from my understanding all flying enemies were programmed and placed to be as annoying as possible. Also for some reason they share the same hp as tankier, slower, ground based enemies.
Some parts of the game are very high qualities, but in others you can tell that it could have used more QA or a larger consensus on what they were doing.

Mystery drones have been lurking around airports and nuclear plants for years, prior to the war. May be Russia, may be some other source.

The US was founded by people who used violence against the government and made it a constitutional right to bear arms. If you had asked the founding fathers about the NSA, the crazy levels of nepotism and corruption and how self-centred the American elite is, they wouldn't have called shooting them terrorism. What level of incompetence and acting like the elite in Versailles is required for the constitutional right to fight back to take effect?

I do think those traditional definitions are a bit impractical though. Everyone refers to Arianism as Arian Christianity. And it seems really hard to define a protestant church which uses the the Biblical canon, the traditional hymns, a normal communion as non Christian. I get that Unitarian Universalists aren't that, but any outside observer who went to one of those Hungarian unitarian churches would likely call them Christian.

v5 is much better but it still sounds Suno... It's indescribable, something about the clashing sound (if I was a musician I could be more clear).
Is what I was going to say, till I found one that didn't sound Suno at all. Wow.
Anyway, if there was ONE arena you would want AI to reach superhuman capability, one particular application that would improve your life even if AI progress stalled out otherwise, what would that be?
Writing long-form fiction to even a high-human standard. Turn all my neverfinished story ideas into full stories, better than I ever could.

There is a Filipino Church called Iglesia ni Christo which denies the trinity. They are fairly large 2.5 million members and do have US churches so you could check them out. Their chief pastor met with Duterte and they are mostly based in the Philippines so I highly doubt they are woke.

Thanks! Weirdly the second iteration looks way better, because she actually looks female in that one. No idea what happened in the first game.

Did the sister end up mattering? What was the first guy supposed to do differently if his sister was in the straight?
my understanding:
Planners < FOxGLASS < Humans-In-The-Loop < Deputy Director Lady < US Government.
Some combination of the Planners and FOxGLASS have figured out that there's a layer of control above them, and are actively working to engage with that layer. The Planner squabble is not, in fact the AIs glitching out, it is the AIs intentionally generating a scenario where human manual override will be triggered, at least potentially as part of a strategy to control the controllers. The sister part generates additional stress on one of the humans-in-the-loop, making it easier to trigger the lockout.

I couldn't care less about elbows. The problem is that is straight up a man's face on a female body.

Any worldview of the current era which does not factor in the internet- tiktok and phone apps, specifically, is particularly worthless.

Maybe, but people seem to reuse the same tracks from every video so the actual time to find a track might not matter much if at all. I guess the question becomes, what do you care more about? The $10 for a month of suno + whatever time it takes to generate a song you're satisfied with, or spending ~1 hour in the free audio library?

Then it went to shit for reasons I haven't been able to fully articulate yet but involves the concentration of labels, rise of solo artist & built groups and of course modern production methods (and a bunch of other things).
To add: it went to shit also because pop music industry’s big data data-sciencing and machine-learning was able to identify what the masses wanted, and gave it to them. Manufacturing of, e.g. Sabrina Carpenter and Sabrina Carpenter types and the disappearance of auteurs and any sense of authorship to the margins.

There seems to be some kind of quality of 'general alignedness' which breaks across low-pressure generations. I just wrote a more technical post about this here though it's speculative.
Yeah, and this quality of 'general alignedness' would not be any particular trait, but a group of traits which are either necessary themselves or in combination for fitness in a given selection environment, and are very difficult to improve on and easy to fall away from (because different is generally worse). One way to think of it is that we have G as a general factor of intelligence, but that can be reasonably approximated by tests, and so a lot of people mistake it for a single trait rather than a general factor because it can be determined by tests, whereas a general alignedness factor can only be determined by contact with the environment, or approximated by someone who knows the environment well. It's something that's over and above traits and is determined by the relationship between phenotype and environment, until that environment changes. To take an extreme example in humans, extreme physical bravery in young men suddenly became much less selectively advantageous in August 1914. It seems to hang together well conceptually as long as one can see it as a kind of overlying factor composed of many traits instead of a single trait in itself.

I don't think I've heard a SINGLE pop song in the last year that I consider 'memorable' (not entirely true: Chappel Roan's "HOT TO GO!" sometimes pops into my brain unbidden).
Similar vibe (sassy red-haired female with socio-culturally relevant songs), you should look up CMAT.

Well then, it's scarcely any consolation that his social circle didn't erupt into cheers as at Kirk's death, is it? It would just mean the contagion didn't penetrate deep enough to affect them, rather than it being beyond the pale for them.

I think it’s broadly the total lack of anything approaching softness or sensuality. Hades 1 Aphrodite I’m not super keen on either but she has a coquettish pose appropriate for the Goddess of Love and Lust. This one in holding a sword and shield and looks like she wants to beat you up. Aphrodite is always dangerous but not like that.
I’m reminded of a previous post saying that one reason people liked Sydney Sweeney was that she’s one of the only models to have doe eyes and look soft and approachable rather than glaring at the camera.
