Is this not the same antagonist ideology as seen in games like Cyberpunk 2077 and Mirror’s Edge?
Palantir@PalantirTech
Because we get asked a lot. The Technological Republic, in brief. 1. Silicon Valley owes a moral debt to the country that made its rise possible. The engineering elite of Silicon Valley has an affirmative obligation to participate in the defense of the nation. 2. We must rebel against the tyranny of the apps. Is the iPhone our greatest creative if not crowning achievement as a civilization? The object has changed our lives, but it may also now be limiting and constraining our sense of the possible. 3. Free email is not enough. The decadence of a culture or civilization, and indeed its ruling class, will be forgiven only if that culture is capable of delivering economic growth and security for the public. 4. The limits of soft power, of soaring rhetoric alone, have been exposed. The ability of free and democratic societies to prevail requires something more than moral appeal. It requires hard power, and hard power in this century will be built on software. 5. The question is not whether A.I. weapons will be built; it is who will build them and for what purpose. Our adversaries will not pause to indulge in theatrical debates about the merits of developing technologies with critical military and national security applications. They will proceed. 6. National service should be a universal duty. We should, as a society, seriously consider moving away from an all-volunteer force and only fight the next war if everyone shares in the risk and the cost. 7. If a U.S. Marine asks for a better rifle, we should build it; and the same goes for software. We should as a country be capable of continuing a debate about the appropriateness of military action abroad while remaining unflinching in our commitment to those we have asked to step into harm’s way. 8. Public servants need not be our priests. Any business that compensated its employees in the way that the federal government compensates public servants would struggle to survive. 9. We should show far more grace towards those who have subjected themselves to public life. The eradication of any space for forgiveness—a jettisoning of any tolerance for the complexities and contradictions of the human psyche—may leave us with a cast of characters at the helm we will grow to regret. 10. The psychologization of modern politics is leading us astray. Those who look to the political arena to nourish their soul and sense of self, who rely too heavily on their internal life finding expression in people they may never meet, will be left disappointed. 11. Our society has grown too eager to hasten, and is often gleeful at, the demise of its enemies. The vanquishing of an opponent is a moment to pause, not rejoice. 12. The atomic age is ending. One age of deterrence, the atomic age, is ending, and a new era of deterrence built on A.I. is set to begin. 13. No other country in the history of the world has advanced progressive values more than this one. The United States is far from perfect. But it is easy to forget how much more opportunity exists in this country for those who are not hereditary elites than in any other nation on the planet. 14. American power has made possible an extraordinarily long peace. Too many have forgotten or perhaps take for granted that nearly a century of some version of peace has prevailed in the world without a great power military conflict. At least three generations — billions of people and their children and now grandchildren — have never known a world war. 15. The postwar neutering of Germany and Japan must be undone. The defanging of Germany was an overcorrection for which Europe is now paying a heavy price. A similar and highly theatrical commitment to Japanese pacifism will, if maintained, also threaten to shift the balance of power in Asia. 16. We should applaud those who attempt to build where the market has failed to act. The culture almost snickers at Musk’s interest in grand narrative, as if billionaires ought to simply stay in their lane of enriching themselves . . . . Any curiosity or genuine interest in the value of what he has created is essentially dismissed, or perhaps lurks from beneath a thinly veiled scorn. 17. Silicon Valley must play a role in addressing violent crime. Many politicians across the United States have essentially shrugged when it comes to violent crime, abandoning any serious efforts to address the problem or take on any risk with their constituencies or donors in coming up with solutions and experiments in what should be a desperate bid to save lives. 18. The ruthless exposure of the private lives of public figures drives far too much talent away from government service. The public arena—and the shallow and petty assaults against those who dare to do something other than enrich themselves—has become so unforgiving that the republic is left with a significant roster of ineffectual, empty vessels whose ambition one would forgive if there were any genuine belief structure lurking within. 19. The caution in public life that we unwittingly encourage is corrosive. Those who say nothing wrong often say nothing much at all. 20. The pervasive intolerance of religious belief in certain circles must be resisted. The elite’s intolerance of religious belief is perhaps one of the most telling signs that its political project constitutes a less open intellectual movement than many within it would claim. 21. Some cultures have produced vital advances; others remain dysfunctional and regressive. All cultures are now equal. Criticism and value judgments are forbidden. Yet this new dogma glosses over the fact that certain cultures and indeed subcultures . . . have produced wonders. Others have proven middling, and worse, regressive and harmful. 22. We must resist the shallow temptation of a vacant and hollow pluralism. We, in America and more broadly the West, have for the past half century resisted defining national cultures in the name of inclusivity. But inclusion into what?

Sorry about the delay, but as promised here’s a short clip of me on World of Warcraft using only my BCI to control my character. It amazes me every single day. @neuralink are changing lives. @Blizzard_Ent

@nohitjerome Blizzard is trying to bottleneck people into playing Retail by making the Classic experience as miserable as possible. Seems like that’s why they are banning gold buyers while letting bots run rampant.
Clearly their forced version of “You think you do, but you don’t.” 😂

It’s Time for a Bot Hunting Crusade
Blizzard gave bots the power to get players banned with their 50 report threshhold, and its putting player accounts at risk, while we are completely powerless.
It's a growing issue too, as we've started to see bots popping up threatening game integrity in endgame areas.
And the forum responses are sad, very beta, and frankly unamerican. Hey accept the bots, and move on, its too hard for blizzrad to eradicate them, there's nothing we can do.
But thats just not good enough.
I propose a simple solution, one the entire community can get behind, minus the bots. The bot hunting crusade.
On my community discord, we've got a new tab for proposed bots, anyone in the community can nominate a bot, and i also have a youtube post running right now to collect bot names for vetting.
Once a bot is confirmed, we have a board of bots for you to report at your leisure when you see them online.
And to take it up a level and make sure those reports hit all at once, we'll be having weekly bot hunting crusades in the discord which of course will be covered on this channel and live on stream.
One of two things is gonna happen. Either all the bots in TBC are going to get cleaned up. Or blizzard is going to have to change their godawful mass report system.
Nominate a bot here on X and we'll vet them together

This is the worst expansion I’ve ever played and I’ve since uninstalled. LOLOL

𝐏𝐋𝐀𝐘𝐄𝐑𝐒 𝐀𝐑𝐄 𝐋𝐎𝐕𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐓𝐁𝐂 𝐀𝐍𝐍𝐈𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐒𝐀𝐑𝐘 The first week of raiding numbers are in for TBC Anniversary and the number is rather impressive. According to Ironforge Pro, over 240,000 players participated in raiding for the opening week. Expect to see a bigger number next week as more players make it to level 70.
English
Been playing TBC Anniversary. Really needed to make gold so I created this addon with Codex that scans the AH, finds price gaps relative to market data (considering liquidity), and helps flip items for profit. I made like 300 gold with it today ROFL. THE WAY AI IS INTENDED :D

If this doesn’t get every Patriot fired up to take the head off of every Bronco I don’t know what will.
MLFootball@MLFootball
🚨🚨BREAKING NEWS🚨🚨 #Broncos head coach Sean Payton guarantees that they will beat the #Patriots and go to the Super Bowl this week. “They’re going to have a lot of rest after this one. Two weeks.” Major bulletin board material for New England. WOW.

@FwoiblesWoW @hey_im_rogue 2/2 If boosts on TBC RE RE RELASE are $80, you can afford the infra. This was not an issue on OG MoP 14 years ago, crazy that it is now.
English
@FwoiblesWoW @hey_im_rogue 1/2 Layering spins up for overpopulation, cool. Except places like Isle of Thunder are ghost towns on multiple layers, making WPvP legitimately impossible. So why are we treating “CPU per player” like a reason to keep extra layers alive and fracture PvP realms?
English
Since my eye is back on Classic for a minute and a few folks were asking about Grobbulus-US, yeah it does look like even the merge influx wasn’t enough to stabilize it. The last PvP realm in MoP falls :/
I’ll confirm with a few folks Monday before I officially condemn it but expect free transfers off Grob soon.
This one hurts :(
English
@FwoiblesWoW Yet layering is still active???? Come on. This is ridiculous self-sabotage by the devs.

Playing through Dispatch right now. It’s one of the most unique games I’ve ever played. Sometimes I find myself second guessing decisions, but then I’m hit with a beautifully emotional scene that helps to reinforce my choices. What an incredible game.
