I get what you are saying, but at the same time I was bored on a Saturday and 'vibe coded' a small VR game, nothing special, but I had the LLM throw down a structure, and then I walked through it looking at and thinking about why placement of code was how it was and how different things were handled. It was basically exactly like my job, jump into some okay working legacy app, code I have never actually seen, try to get my brain around it, then personally tweak things until the app performs the way I fully want.

We are too far past the fascist crap too entertain this stupidity. I get it, you don't see a problem with any of it. Now go enjoy your dumb little life and I am going to go back trying to find ways to help make friends and family I have in the Minneapolis area feel safe again.

Masked people rushing a car and drawing weapons and the driver panicking. Now ask me who appears to escalate the entire situation. Or what the actual penalty for impeding a lane of traffic is.

Streeeeeeeetch, but good on you, keep up whatever it is you are attempting.

Empathy, that is what you appear to be missing in your equation. If I see someone about to chuck a baby off a cliff, I hope I step out of my normal comfort zone and do something. In that case it is probably pretty clear, and this one seems grey for some people, but for others, and myself include, ICE is affecting people's lives in ways that is unacceptable and we need to do something.

People incorrectly apprehended, assaulted, or killed seems like it might be a value you want in that equation.

Correct, which the administration is also trying to remove.

Not to be grim, it seems like the car suddenly accelerating was actually due to the being shot.

Are there any particular simulators you would recommend?

Agreed, I really like this demo, seems like a fun concept that adds some sparkle to a typically mundane thing.

Getting so pedantic about a minor point seems like it does more to stifle creativity and innovation and that it does to help.

Agreed, and it was even better before they reduced a lot of the functionality for non Fi users.
