The complete dismissal of how these games can impact developing brains bothers me. We believe everything else can easily influence them but not this?!

Been thinking about this a lot, because family with kids have commented on how well they can identify weaponry in news stories purely from game play. I don’t think video games are inherently problematic, but they certainly are being utilized as a means to an end in some form or fashion.

Which drones are you referring to? I think they have been training these models much longer than they are saying.

Now we are cooking.
If you ever read the book, there’s a portion dedicated to Ender’s siblings and how they become hugely influential in global politics due to sock puppet accounts online (so no one knows their children) arguing the philosophy on both sides of the war. Reminds me of Epstein investing in 4chan + reddit.

To wrap this for now and a small tangent, will we need a “wall” like in Cyberpunk?

While that may never happen with GTA. What does it mean to connect the digital world to the material in this way? We assume this mass can “think” and “feel”. It feels what the character feels. What happens when you can’t control the communication between the two?

I’ll keep going bc I’m tired and restless. I ran across a video on YouTube (cannot search and find it now) but this man talked about the lab grown brain cells/masses that control a simulated butterfly and the theory/rumor they want to connect those to the characters in GTA.

They’re a concerted effort to connect the material and digital worlds. Enmeshment to the point that it’s indistinguishable.

What looks like a simulation is actually real somewhere else. This ties into the singularity/GTA theory. I’ll circle back to that.
The push for it seems too aggressive to be innocuous to me.

If you haven’t seen Ender’s game and care about spoilers please exit now.
My theory, possible a reach but I think they are training an AI of some sort and/or people are in some form or fashion fighting a “real” enemy in the material world like Ender.

Alright. I’m going to try to tackle one since I know a few people wanted to hear this.
So, there’s been a push for people to download apps to play games on and get money. Seems like a scam on the surface (I’m sure it is) but it feels more sinister than that to me.

I wouldn’t be mad at a mashup of white boy bands (pop, rock and alternative).
Who do you think will perform at the Super Bowl next year? Personally, I think the NFL totally switches it up and does, like, Morgan Wallen.
They’ll get us Blacks* bc he’s bringing out Rick Ross and Lil Wayne

Reagan only ever did two good things for this country in his entire life.
He made it easier for women to get divorces.
And he died.
