Didn't Elon try to make the word Cis a slur? Lmao
Chemists are gonna be pissed
That's some Uno Reverse shit and I love it.
Also, I didn't think about how the site still describes Tweets with the same name. Another clever thing that the CEO thought through.
Side question- How many people do you think would still get a brain chip from him?
Star Citizen will have its own chapter in the annals of awful history, right before GTA Online and After Rust and 7dayz. I shall title my book 'Forever alphas a How to make money hand over fist by promising endlessly and delivering little to nothing'
Hey now, I enjoy Star Citizen when it's not completely bugging out or disconnecting me.
Should you pour money into the project though? Probably not.
The game is like 90% setup and staging with bugs stopping you, and 10% fun and engaging gameplay. That 10% has so much promise, I just wish they would cut the bullshit and make a fucking game already.
Oh for sure. I'm not a fan of Roberts, and in-game I play as a character that does everything possible to fight the corporate interests.
No, my roleplay is not that deep.
I hate Star Citizen as a project, and I would never defend Roberts / Cloud Imperium.
What I do love is the complexity of certain game features, and exploring the system with my friends. I backed the project 10 years ago because it came with a copy of Squadron 42, with their Persistent Universe stuff being just a bonus. Admittedly I didn't do much research into the project, and it wasn't very expensive for a gamble to me at the time. I'm unhappy with the results 10 years later, but I get a small amount of joy out of playing it every so often.
Damn those wokes and their impossible to pronounce neopronouns. send Xeet
If you had an account with google glass, you automatically are on the brainchip waitlist.
It'll only leave a few tens of thousands of people with dodgy brain implants that the manufacturer no longer offers support for and has discontinued updates on.
I wonder how long it'll be until someone bombs that kind of place. "They're literally putting brainwashing chips in people's brains" seems like serious propaganda fuel.
brain chips are inevitable. They will eventually be safe and useful enough that people will use them.
Nah that's basic biology
Judging an entire concept in perpetuity based on a single, early implementation is beyond short-sighted.
What do you think about the Soviet Union and CYBERSYN? LOL
You sound like early Internet skeptics.
You've inherited a Marvel™ soy version of Calvinism, we are historical materialists, not luddites. We just understand why you're repeating what you've heard elsewhere. I.e
- The Internet (now, brain chips, etc) will be a liberatory force and cause a great awakening
Lol no it just reified existing relations to production. The superstructure maintains and shapes the base, not the other way around.
In the end you're just waiting for a tech breakthrough to solve climate change without drastic changes to production and labor relations the same way evangelicals are waiting for the second coming of Jesus. The world doesn't work like that. There is no horizon.
Nothing changes unless you're operating collectively in the material world and using scientific methods to correctly understand preceding actions and to correctly determine immediate and future actions.
The irrelevant take on brain chips is based on a bare minimum of historical analysis and a respect for relevant fields like biology, economics and history. They are a dead end for the relevant future, i.e the next 100 years max before climate change reverts and deteriorates global modes of production to the point that brain chips continue to be totally irrelevant and probably at that point, impossible to produce.
Liberals believe in infinite growth the same way evangelists believe in God, zero connection to the real world.
I feel like I just got to witness Red Foreman actually put his foot up somebody's actual ass.
direct energy? I'll let it melt adopters brains the same way it melted a bunch of monkeys' brains and continue not thinking about it. and if anyone tries to push me to get one I'll tell them to pound sand. no way in hell am I giving a corporation direct access to my brain for literally any reason. we live under capitalism - the only version of any product that will ever get produced is the one that makes the capitalists money. move fast and break things isn't exactly reassuring when it comes to the only brain you're ever going to have.
"regulations" will keep them in line, apparently, and "the only people who get hurt are the fanboys" - which doesn't include them for some reason. it's kind of cryptofash in their willingness to kill people at the altar of tech billionaires.
Probably means that they're planning DLC that changes the displayed name of the autopilot from "Full Self Driving" to "Vehicular Homicide Mode"
gimme the linkaroni, i need to see the fanboy tears
dw got it

TwitterX? Elon unironically thinks cis is a slur
