It sounds like there are different biomes and air piracy now, but I haven't yet had a chance to see how different this makes it play.

Four Arguments for the Elimination of Television: the Graphic Novel
"I'm done with being a man of infinite jest and most excellent fancy!"
We can ask this question from the other direction: why doesn't everywhere else have a flamethrower helicopter?
OpenAI and Microsoft recently redefined “artificial general intelligence” as OpenAI making $100 billion profit.
Defining intelligence this way means that virtually no human who has ever lived qualifies as intelligent, either. That's one way for machine intelligence to reach parity with human intelligence, I suppose.
Then again, Sam Altman has lit enough of Microsoft's money on fire that he especially doesn't count as intelligent according to this definition. So maybe it has some merit after all.
"It's a safety feature to reduce spalling!"
For sure. It's kind of fascinating, in a grim way, to contrast Haiti's revolutionary course with the US, where basically every major power was cool with them a few years after their revolution.
One wonders how history would be different if the nations of the world had spent centuries screwing the US with debt and propping up their worst leaders and left Haiti to do its own thing.
Right? Most of this stuff was already the case in 2012, so it barely even counts as a prediction.
China's lead in rare earth production doesn't exactly come out of nowhere, nor does Haiti having a crisis of some sort or terrorists being called freedom fighters. And having AI do the targeting work in place of humans has been floating around as an idea since what, when The Forbin Project came out? 1970 or so?
It's a good idea, but we can go even further. Just think of what we could fit into a spinal mount!
I love the idea of an art gallery management game, but the devs' description of how they use AI is sending me:
The artists in our game who sell you their artwork are themselves a form of artificial intelligence. To stay true to these artists, the artwork they offer to sell you was generated using our novel artwork combined with ethically sourced generative AI.
They follow that up by disclosing they used AI to create Steam marketing materials. I wonder if they also consider those a form of artificial intelligence?
