The product is not nearly as dystopian as the fact that such a generic and oft-repeated trope from recent sci-fi is patentable. I've really lived my life poorly - so many unoriginal ideas I could have claimed smdh.

even before AI - as crazy as it may sound - i've always used click-ops for the prod dbs. I've never put them in cloudformation or tf.

I don’t think that’s telling the whole story.

Immigration has always been used as leverage against the native workers, and now it’s more efficiently corrupt than ever.

He probably sees them as marginalised POC bravely feeding their families under the thumb of American imperialism.

Yeah but then their own product might not score the highest.

The game in question was made to propagate leftist narratives to children, obviously. You needed that connection spelled out? It’s a game that discourages people from trying to reach an independent viewpoint on migration because it might lead them to be anti-migration. Who else would send such a warning, the right? Some politically unmotivated developer building educational games at the behest of the governing party? lol.

Not you - the game! The game is teaching children that the act of trying to independently research information is a dangerous pathway that can lead to extremism. That belief is drivel - any self-respecting intelligent child will instinctively reject it. I feel for those who fall victim to such indoctrination though.
