Wow I thought it was going to be later next year. Been anxiously awaiting this before starting another play through.

The writing for this game is just something special.

Sure it happens, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't think about reducing it.

But then you just end up writing HTML anyways.

Yeah, Notoriety/Clout/Social Status.

Somebody else is building your binaries. You've added another link in your software supply chain. How do you know they haven't inserted malware?

How does giving them deploy access prevent them from breaking the build, too?

Supply chain risk.

That was my thought as well. "Hopefully someone decides to take on the stewardship of PyOxidizer, too." That might not dovetail well enough with someone's business plans though.

A narrative is what a person wants you to perceive, not how you end up perceiving it.

Monkeys aren't (yet) interested in spending a lot of money on Brioni suits.

All the hoops you have to jump through with Markdown seem more awkward to me than a few extra characters.

Whats the end game here? Bug bounties? Notoriety? Bogus OKRs?

This is Amazon's core e-commerce business model but for AI. You sell everybody else's stuff and also offer an Amazon Basics version.

At that point, why aren't you just writing HTML?

I don't think this glamorizes horrible weapons. We as humans get a certain thrill from scary things. "Dracula" didn't normalize being a vampire.

Looks like the Banana Boat Aloe Gel has significantly dried up in the original prop.

This conjures up an image in my mind of a million monkeys with headphones on, smashing at Blooomberg terminals.

The fact that you can show an LLM an image of a plot and it'll give you a good-enough-ish classification I think is the interesting part. It really is just prompt engineering all the way down...

Narrative is the correct word for what this is. This is what Facebook leadership wanted to persuade the Facebook rank-and-file that _this_ is what they're about. This is purposeful internal propaganda.

One of your job listings appears to have a mistype in it or maybe your name just peppered around https://vivint.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/vivintjobs/job/Lehi-UT/... "Configuration management (SaltStack, Ansible, etc.)matt"
