The thing is, this is just what's been reported. There's almost certainly more going on if 2 affairs are public disclosure. If there is a sexual harassment angle here as well, he's toast.

It's unrealistic to run pilots, data collection, and followup in 4 years for many political decisions.

The best policy recommendation here is simply to enforce data collection for every decision. This would also incentivize politicans to only propose policies they truely believe will work.

Money will still be burned, but at the very least over long term our understanding will grow, and bad policies will gradually be disincentivized.

I guess my question is whether it actually modeled the assets, or simply pulled a bunch of cc0 assets off the internet.

This has actually be a challenge for my agentic gamedev efforts. Getting to a particular visual style outside of PBR assets pulled off of packs online is more challenging right now.

I know the latest Gemini release explicitly had something like this.

Anytime they had a population explosion, younger sons would have to go A Viking.

Perhaps we need a better prototype for a much larger system...

The issue with this is that the game doesn't really communicate this fact to you, and not killing the goons technically should mean that they're still going to go upstairs at some point and kill Paul.

The most hilarious part of this is that Paul himself says he's too weak to climb through the window, but as soon as those goons bust in through the front door, he whips out a 50 lb flame thrower and starts strafing around at 30 mph like he's in the motherfucking murder olympics.

When the game came out though the politics around conspiracy theories was very different. Deus Ex tried to cram in every conspiracy theory circulating at the time. MJ-12, the trilateral commission, Roswell...

There's a portion in the game when your brother Paul is sick and he tells you to leave him to fight off enemy goons alone. Apparently you can fight your way through the hotel and he survives all the way to the end of the game!

When the sequel came out, I was like "why the fuck is Paul still alive"

The gameplay and graphics don't hold up but the story was absolutely prescient around AI, billionaire oligarchs, and mass surveillance.

Perhaps a flood of 8x B300 will be homelab ready in a few months
