Disk is for things that are more kiki, but disc, with that rounded off c, is for things that are more bouba.

But also you just don't need to. I didn't realize that not everyone took the ASVAB. My public High School administered it to everyone (May have been an opt out option, don't remember) and I did pretty well. As a result, I was contacted by recruiters two or three times, promptly said I wasn't interested, and that was the end of it.

Literally the plot of a James Bond villain. The best news is that this shit will never work and it will only serve to evaporate the wealth of some overly-moneyed idiots.

Probably an updated roster, any relevant uniform changes, and multiplayer only works with the current year's version.

People who still buy the annual sports game iterations probably don't care. If shelling out full price for no material changes is fine, it's not likely Denuvo will be the deal breaker.

Doesn't he look tired?

We knew this already. Look at all his old quotes about soldiers, look at how he shit-talks them at every turn, calling them losers and suckers, saying he doesn't understand why a smart person would ever join the military. Trump barely even bothers to veil his true feelings for soldiers, which lay somewhere between contempt and mockery.

Yeah? That's... how LLMs work. It doesn't KNOW anything, it's a glorified auto-fill. It knows what words look good after what's already there, it doesn't care whether anything it's saying is correct, it doesn't KNOW if it's correct. It doesn't know what correct even is. It isn't made to lie or tell the truth, those concepts are completely unknown to it's function.

LLMs like ChatGPT are explicitly and only good at composing replies that look good. They are Convincing. That's it. It will confidently and convincingly make shit up.

He says he's about free speech because he agreed with the kinds of speech that get excluded from civil discussion. He considered people getting shunned for racist opinions to be censorship, while he considers terminating the accounts of anyone who disagrees with him to be his prerogative and perfectly fair.

Elon Musk has never actually stood for "Free Speech," only for the speech he likes. He SAYS he likes free speech purely because it has better optics for him and worse optics for his opposition than "Let me say racist things."

What do you mean September?

Do you guys remember back when Elon insisted he was a Free Speech Absolutist? How he wanted to ensure nobody was censored on Twitter? That shit just gets funnier every day.

Yeah, no. Musk bought Twitter because he HAD to. He very publicly made comments about buying Twitter at absolute meme-stock prices, but didn't disclose that he already owned a LOT of Twitter stock. So, when his comments predictably increased the price of Twitter stock, he had two choices: Either it was just talk, and he was BLATANTLY guilty of stock manipulation and the Feds put a target on his back, or he acts like he totally meant it.

So he went with option two, acted like he was serious and wanted to buy twitter. Then he tried everything he could think of to kill the deal, accusing Twitter of all sorts of wrongdoing and lies, but Twitter was more careful than that. They got their shit right, and Musk couldn't back out. So he bought Twitter, rather than go to prison.

The fact that he could also kill the tracking twitter account was completely incidental. Musk is an idiot, but even he isn't that stupid. Musk initially offered $5,000 to the account holder to stop, and then balked at the return offer for $50,000. Now, I may not be a billionaire tech-bro, but I'm pretty sure that spending $50,000 to achieve a goal is preferable to spending $44,000,000,000. He's dumb, but he's not that dumb.

Remember back when Elon kept calling himself a Free Speech Absolutist? That just gets funnier every day.
