As a US politician you can routinely call for, and use your considerable power to vote for and agitate for the deaths of tens of thousands of innocent people around the world and it doesn't count as killing them for some reason. A person who does that is not a killer for some reason.
they should invent an alarm that detects if you are already up and automatically turns off for the day
Democrats if you told them not to do insider trading

tctc@toastcrust.bsky.social · 2mo agoeven if LLM actually made gamedev more efficient, which I see no reason to believe it has or will, that won't reduce crunch, because the business people will just push harder until you're crunching again.
