> It's really fun and exactly how I imagined it.

If this is what you imagined, you need to imagine better.

* Pathfinding is terrible (if I end up inside the fenced area clicking outside doesn’t lead me out). * Forcing me to go landscape while not even filling the entire screen is terrible (where did you even test this). * Controls are disastrous (I’m either barking all the time or a bark makes my sprite ignore my movements).

You one-shotted this, and I will admit it’s incredible that these agents can create something like this in minutes.

But your statements along with the “most dangerous AI model” in the title are disingenuous. Please do better.

You also have the right to travel freely within the domestic US.

If that happens. AMZN, or GOOG will be all over that.

Yeah but they're Chinese workers, so people are happy to look the other way /s

Is this still true? :(

I have a 972 number. Caller ID recently made it look like I'd received calls from Israel and Peru, but it was had dropped the US country code (+1) and making it look like the calls were from +971 (Israel) and +51x (Peru).

Good on Elon/SpaceX for pointing more satellites at Ukraine (is that even how this works?). But do we know if they have enough kits to use it, I hope they're also working on getting more into Ukraine.

Not being critical of this, just curious.

> But stories about Foxconn using child labor to build Alexa devices ... went fairly under the radar in comparison

This specific instance might be true, I don't know. But it seems incorrect to base an argument off Apple getting less/more coverage than a company like Amazon.

The semi-truck will come to a stop a lot slower than a bike, and because I won't be able to avoid either I'd rather get hit by the bike.

They already provide their own insurance. My brother's Model Y, that he has Tesla insurance for in CA, makes wonky noises when he's engaging in unsafe driving (not looking at the road, breaking too late, etc) and he said it might affect his insurance rate as well.

Your vacuous argument about what is an _actual concentration camp_ is out of place. This wasn't a discussion about concentration camps, it was about github's attempted misdirection, and their facetious show of supporting inclusion, by eliminating the term "master".

Have you ever tried escalating? You can do that at Amazon, but not with Google.

Why did your comment single out Amazon and not the practice of 'immorally' tracking customers?
