And the sad part is that the primary reason I still try to buy things there is to not go fully online. 🀷

Their threat means nothing to me. The Targets around here have barely restocked anything since October. I kept looking for things to come out for Christmas, then post-holiday reset... nope.

"you need to learn how to use gAI or you'll get left behind!"

counterpoint!

the absolute fastest way to render yourself unemployable is to build your skillset around a tool that does your thinking for you, that everyone has access to, and that one company can change or take away at any time

It's not written for the teens though, it's supposed to get the Extremely Online Millennials going "that's right, get his ass!"

I think we've found their version of a Boomer playground memes. "The slides were METAL and BURNING and mounted on CEMENT" for the post-1980 crowd. 🀷

Congress Is Considering Abolishing Your Right to Be Anonymous Online The bipartisan push to remove anonymity from the internet is ushering in an era of unprecedented mass surveillance and censorship.

Trans ppl under attack from the govt could be identified and outed w/o their consent.

Undocumented immigrants would be cut off from the ability to communicate w advocates.

Young ppl seeking abortions won't be able to access info safely and anonymously.

This is what congress is advancing today πŸ‘‡πŸ»

Or as I mentioned in another comment, if you had all the guides and hints and so on that they were denying the test-takers. They took a time that was determined with all the advantages, removed the advantages, and then were pleased with themselves when virtually no one could do it in that time. πŸ™„

Maniac Mansion has (unplanned) dead ends, where failure is not an indication of the test-taker's ability. If a player encounters one, do they get to start over? Does the time restart as well?

I could keep going. But let's be honest, this wasn't a "test" anyway. It's just a publicity stunt.

They got the time limit from a crowdsourced site where the people beating it had access to all the materials they were denying the test-takers. It doesn't look like they made any effort to determine if the time was adequate for someone playing the game blind.

Ironically for a test that involves a video game, this test seems badly developed.

For starters, said test involves playing an existing game so you can't possibly ensure a level playing field.

Maniac Mansion has multiple endings. Was that taken into account, and if so how?

I'm just annoyed by the sheer ego in thinking that if virtually no one can do your test, you've devised a good test. You've devised a statistically impossible one.

When you buy these crazy buckets they give you the option to just get a bag of popcorn because... yeah, if you actually put popcorn in it the damn thing is absolutely ruined.

"A 0.24% pass rate makes the AGAT one of the most prestigious and rigorous exams in the world"

My dude, if only 2 out of 800 people can do it, it's extremely likely that your test is TOO rigorous. The people who passed were either familiar with the game or found a way to cheat.

I'll freely admit that I enjoy Don Callis on commentary. He has the rare ability to seem completely in character while calling every part of the action. He's a slimy scumbag who gives a complete accounting. It's honestly quite fun and reminds me of Bobby Heenan. #AEW

I still think about how the Florida camp was closed, all the people in it are unaccounted for, and nobody as far as I know is doing a fucking thing about that.

Dude has really never grappled with the lengthy history of racists and bigots who marry their "one of my best friends is [people I show hatred toward]" because they know people will do the "he can't be racist, YOU have the problem!" work for them.

Wonder what incentive he could have for that.
