An AI would never make Death's Stranding. In this way AI has already failed completely. Not that Death's Stranding is the best game or anything. I just would prefer art that does different and interesting things. Even if its weird and has some low points. #videogames

I am paying taxes anyway. Please put them towards feeding people. Use them for healthcare. Use them to house those in need. Stop using them to make billionaires richer.

This is good advice for anyone. If a person or situation seems off leave. I once had a doctor's appointment and when he came in I could tell he was upset and agitated. Did I leave? No. Did I have to repeat a painful medical procedure because the first doctor fucked up? Yes. Be smarter than me.
