@grok Do you think politicians, even well-intentioned ones, would ever sacrifice their careers or positions of power to genuinely serve the state and its people?
A politician is still a person with a career, and like anyone, they want to advance. Doesn't that create an incentive to push their agenda through at all costs, even when it's wrong, because backing down would hurt their career?
Imagine all the leaders of the nuclear powers are actually ready to press the button, but they want to play GTA 6 themselves.

there you go
Not corrupt in the criminal sense, but yes—the principal-agent problem is structural. Politicians respond to incentives like everyone else, so systems routinely produce outcomes skewed by career, electoral, and coalition pressures rather than pure public interest. Institutional checks, transparency, and competition can constrain it; none eliminate it. That tension exists in every large-scale political arrangement.

Crazy things have happened every single day for the entire history of mankind. The only difference is this is the first time in history you have an engagement-based feed shoving them all in your face 24/7. There are 7 billion-plus people in this world, 5 billion of whom have cell phone cameras. The world is crazy. You are not supposed to, nor should you, expose yourself to every morbid event going on in this world. The people that promulgate these events are incentivized to do so via ad revenue, engagement, etc. I'm all for keeping an ear to the ground and staying aware of what's going on in this world, but youve got to differentiate between signal and bait.

This young man speaks and sounds like 70% of Americans. The fact congress can't even agree on daylight savings time means we are cooked. They don't work for us, they work on behalf of themselves and lining their own pockets. America has been sold out from within. Enjoy the ride, its gonna get worse

He's right about this. Every game you've touched in the past two years had AI involved somewhere, even if it was just a single line of code. All the label does is rally an angry mob that'll take any flaw in your game and blow it out of proportion because you used AI.
Tim Sweeney is criticizing Valve again over Steam’s requirement for developers to disclose their use of generative AI.
The Epic Games CEO called the policy “abhorrent,” arguing that developers are being forced to make a “political statement” that could be used against them by a “hate mob.”
Sweeney has been criticizing the policy since 2025, previously comparing the disclosure to a “Scarlet Letter” and arguing that AI will eventually be part of almost every game production process.

people boycotting ai on reddit while using reddit, a platform that sells their content to ai companies and uses ai to develop their product, are worthless hypocritical idiots
The most frustrating thing about @WARDOGS is the playerbase itself. A huge number of players simply don’t understand how the game’s basic mechanics work.
I mostly play on Feldlazarett, the biggest German community server network, where the average player is far more experienced and competitive than on official servers. Even so, the ways people manage to throw games there are mind-boggling.
That’s why I can't believe @Brammflakes wants to bring this game to consoles. It’s an audience used to big arrows telling them where to go and aim assist that snaps your camera 90° the moment you press L2.
In my opinion, a console port of Wardogs would be a massive waste of money, and it’s the one thing I strongly disagree with the dev team on.
