it is 'funny' that the question of 'why does everybody feel different about the economy than the way these graphs should indicate' never seems to account for 'a pandemic exposing thousands of people to our ramshackle and hyper expensive healthcare system AND killing many partners, roommates, etc'

surprise, surprise. DOJ will release docs over a rolling production over a few weeks -- violation of terms of Epstein law but who's to stop them. Big point is timing -- remember first spin of Mueller Report by Bill Barr? What comes out first will be big influence on public perception.

Crunch time is always a failure of management.
NEW: For the last seven weeks, Naughty Dog has enacted mandatory overtime for staff to finish an internal demo of their next game, Intergalactic. The game won't be out until 2027, leaving some staff wondering: If they're crunching now, what will next year be like? www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

As a very pro-FOSS person, this is a good run-down on some major problems in the space.
Too many have adopted a "Dark Souls Community" mindset, where the abstruse nature of current FOSS applications is a part of it's identity that should never be remedied.
We need to overthrow these people.

We spoke to a dozen professional concept artists who are currently or have previously worked in game development about whether generative AI image tools have made their jobs any easier.
Zero said it did. Most said it made things harder.

This is way more important than just not drawing, the whole point was to be able to get line of sight in the level and being able to imagine how a player walking through waist high walls would be able to aim, since MGS2 was the first metal gear game with first person aiming.
