Like, at some point the question isn't whether it's worth the money, but whether it's worth your time, worth your disk space, worth cluttering up your Steam library, etc. There's essentially infinite free software out there – if price sensitivity were linear, we'd spend our lives downloading it all!

Presumably there's all sorts of complicating factors. On the one hand it's easier to throw away smaller amounts of money on something you're not sure about, but on the other, price influences perceived value. When you see something listed for crazily cheap, it's easy to assume it's dreck.

While I (as an outsider) found the whole thing interesting, I did raise my eyebrows a bit at that quote. That's the naïve assumption, but I'd be very surprised if the relationship really were exactly linear, or even close enough to linear to act under that assumption.

Previously, several of these companies, like Apple, IBM, and Disney, have paused advertising on X in response to antisemitic content. But antisemitism on X never slowed, sexual abuse imagery increased, and all of these companies quietly resumed advertising anyways.

Why isn't there a bigger Grok boycott?
Advertisers, politicians, and investors are still all-in on X, despite a sexual abuse crisis.

Sitting at my imitation tropical bar, staring out as the oppressive grey sky spits unrelentingly on my yacht-themed novelty swimming pool.

Regarding the "Let's pretend to be on holiday even when we're at home" concept: surely that's massively undercut by the 60%+ of the time the weather's shite?

Good point, that's another aspect of the kind of in-your-face imagery it tends towards

Man, you weren't kidding

It's hard to capture in a single frame, but in this clip the stars in the flag on the right seem, if anything, to be arching down towards the red rather than up towards the yellow. In this freeze frame they're not even stars at all, and the hand holding the flag seems slightly mangled.

It also seems unlikely that quite so many people would be wearing the flag – seems likely to be an example of the prompt "bleeding through" to unintended aspects of the image.

It seems odd that a lot of people are wearing Venezuelan flag themed tops that omit the red stripe. If you're making flag clothing, you can't really just leave out one of the main components of the design.

Often it gives subjects an unrealistic studio lighting look (presumably being trained on a lot of professional studio photography), but that's less of a clear giveaway in a sunny setting.

The kneeling lady herself has an AI look about her. I'm not sure I can explain exactly what it is. Perhaps its tendency towards displays of extreme but undirected emotion (e.g. its love of showing people shouting at and about nothing in particular). Or the strange forward and back camera movements.
