Hey all, if you’re a liberal/leftist located in Washington (Seattle/Olympia/Tacoma or south Washington) or northern Oregon (Portland/Salem), check out the PNWAL.

I’ve been a member for some time and it’s a great group. Regular range days, lots of friendly and knowledgeable people. We’re always looking for new people who like to have fun and shoot some guns.

(Obligatory this is not a militia- just a group of people who advocate for gun rights for all and like to have range days together)

According to the patent, the model “may be used for simulating the user when the user is absent from the social networking system,” including cases where the person is on a long break or deceased.

So essentially if you decide to stop using Facebook or Instagram, this AI could pretend to be you in your place and make actions via your account. Gee, can’t see how that could possibly be abused.

My rule of thumb is $1 per hour of gameplay. So if I don’t expect to get at least 70 hours out of a game, I’m not paying $70 for it. I don’t consider it a bargain until I get down to significantly less than a dollar per hour.

Indie devs don’t have to deal with interference from suits who are obsessed with cost cutting and wholly out of touch with what people want

My mom recently retired from teaching and she often talked about this sort of thing in teachers unions. Protecting teachers who obviously didn’t give a shit about actually educating students.
