[Upcoming game] Alien Isolation 2

Dion Lay, co-writer of Alien: Isolation (2014): "I know that everyone wanted to do it. I think it was always like, 'Could it happen?' But I think that Disney buying Fox made it a lot more possible, just because I think Disney seemed to be doing a push on, like..."

That would have been a laugh. He owns the movie rights to The Thing too, mash em all together.

Sadly, he also loves AI…

You can tell you’re old when you see this and the first thing you think about is a Paul McCartney song and how Planet of the Apes is the wrong cultural reference to use.

From what I can gather, they're moving to UE5, and it makes me wonder how much of that is a shitshow and under pressure to remaster the games (again) for the 25th anniversary next year.

Halo Studios art director Glenn Israel (Halo 3 ODST, Infinite): "No illusion of security nor promise of wealth or fame or power is worth trading away your health, your dignity, your ethics or values - and no one can force you to. Stay strong, take evidence when necessary, and find where you belong."

In order for AI to avoid a bubble and collapse the tech companies need people, not enterprises, to use it. To use it daily. To use it for everything. To use it knowing they’re doing harm to themselves and others - job losses, mental health issues, climate impact, data privacy.

For no upside.

Notice how barely anyone talks about DOGE now, how much it cost and how little it saved, how another one of Musk’s promises never amounted to anything, how sensitive data ended up in the hands of the wrong people with little resistance.

Take your time, Elite is a game that needs some patience to get going with. The tutorials help a little to settle you in then the training wheels are ripped off.
I’d say learn to do one thing then layer it rather than attempt lots of different things.

ED Reddit has plenty.

Do we really want 250,000 mirrored satellites in Low Earth Orbit? Hasn't the Starlink megaconstellation already done enough damage?

A US startup plans to deliver ‘sunlight on demand’ after dark. Can it work – and would we want it to?

Satellites beaming sunlight down to Earth sound like science fiction – and they have astronomers very worried.

Wrong debate - it's not that AI will overtake humans, it's when the AI bubble pops and causes a global economic depression and collapse, all eyes will be on the techbros who caused it and they'll shut themselves away in luxury while we tear ourselves apart for the scraps.
