Things are already infuriating enough in general, but the way kids become the victims of this system even when they have loving parents that would very much like to take care of them properly, it just makes me so indescribably mad

Can't give any solution because I had the same problem pretty much where I live and I just went into web development because I gotta eat.

Though I can say that nobody stops you from doing all kinds of programming in your free time, open source also gives you a lot of interesting things to work on if you have the time to dive in and try to get your hands dirty with a project. There definitely are differences in common practices and concepts when going from web dev to other areas of computer science, but you can always find parallels and similar logic. It definitely would help to be able to properly study new things, but it's both very time consuming and expensive, so that's not a solution for everyone.

GTA was never an RPG, it's an action game with shooting and driving things.

It really can't be compared to Cyberpunk which is really focused in the RPG elements, making choices in every single sidequest out there, making your own character build with skill trees, items, body mods etc.

They're completely different genres, which is also why so many people got infuriated when Cyberpunk came out because it was not the Next GTA™ game they were expecting, even though Cyberpunk never really marketed to be like that.

Rid yourself of the notion that democracy lies in political parties fighting each other where you get to vote on them, and you will realize that all capitalist democracies are just elaborate dictatorships disguising themselves every 4 or so years.

This "democracy" is exactly the kind of system that brought Trump to power with a useless "opposition" party that is comfortably looking away while Trump does all the dirty work that they would also like to have done if it didn't ruin their facade.

The only real opposition can come from the people themselves.

It's sad how Terry lived, he was probably actually seeing stuff like that as hallucinations

It's not the form that's the issue. It's the required depth of that thought, when you are actually doing the work yourself you need to go all the way in your thinking otherwise it simply won't work. When you're vibe coding, your thinking only goes as far as you see necessary so the AI has enough context to give something useful in return. It's like comparing the thought process of an analyst and of the engineer that implements the spec, any engineer knows that difference.

Only that the compiler works in a defined algorithmic way that can always be expected to work, at worst it uses more cpu registers than needed or something. AI on the other hand just spews garbage in a fundamentally statistical way and despite the enormous efforts to create tools that manipulate it into working more predictably, it still sucks so much of the time.

Another difference is that you are critically thinking when "instructing" a compiler via the code, but you only convince yourself that you think critically when you're instructing an AI, it's not the same and it actively makes you a worse engineer every time you decide to use it instead of thinking.

Can't wait until we're all in a very Chinese time of our lives

Both of these look great, I'm noting them for the next time my friends get frustrated enough with Discord to consider moving

I think so, but I haven't updated my hosted version to check

~~That's the only information available, it's not a well enough known project to have articles and stuff about it so you'll have to do with this if you want to learn more~~ just found a Mastodon post about it too
