> it's clearly pointless

That depends what the aim of the war is. Is it to win, or just a distraction?

You're probably right. The wars have served their purpose, i.e. distract voters from domestic issues. Who in power cares if they win or lose if they're still in power?

What would qualify as having won? Every Palestinian dead?

I'm not a fan of Morrisons, but they do have a great range of booze.

Why wouldn't they? There's been very little repercussions for anyone so far. Apart from the Netherlands bracing itself for sanctions from America because the ICC dared to suggest someone might have done something wrong.

Or any of the other million or so sci-fi stories that predicted this might happen.

The real advantage of AI is the fact it can be blamed, absolving any humans of responsibility or repercussions.

I think it's something to do with them issueing an arrest warrant in November 2024 for Netanyahu for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity as part of the ICC investigation in Palestine.

Take your pick from the millions of options already turned into films and books.

> but can be overwhelming

That's an understatement and a half. It's massively over engineered and complicated, especially when compared with (say) the dashboard on Itch.

I guess that's what the EU is trying to be.

I feel safer already. What's the worst that could happen? I'm sure no-one will put an AI anywhere near it.

I created a reverse Space Invaders a few months ago, but I struggled to get it to be a fun game as you just move left and right avoiding the players bullets. (I'd post a gif, but it looks exactly like Space Invaders to watch).

What's to stop this nu-web going the same way?

How did you extrapolate that leap of logic? Maybe we suck at business.

You're going to have that problem with any kind of change.

Why pointless?

This is amazing. How long did that process take? Was it almost just a case of giving Claude the binary files and then prompting "please recreate this in Godot"?

This is amazing. I'm trying to get a handle on how you're doing this, but I can't seem to find anything specific. e.g., is it a case of prompting "Please recreate Populous for the web"?

He's doing this as well as all the wars.

I'm not sure what the point of this article is, apart from fearmongering about a new boogie man.

I'm surprised this hsn't happened sooner. Surely making decisions as a CEO would be easier for an AI then complex software development.

Would it make any difference? Fujitsu wrote software so buggy that innocent people got fined and put in prison. They still get contracts even today.

This is another argument that we need more phone OS options, not just Android and iPhone. (Graphene isn't really a proper option yet).

Back in the day, adverts used to be obviously just adverts. Nowadays it's very difficult to determine what actually is an advert/influencer, or someone with some genuine facts.

Why are you afraid of arrest and jail time if it's only privacy we're talking about?

The government employ a lot of private companies to do their dirty work.

> “We will be a minority in our homeland by 2066” is accurate

Accurate as in someone said it? Centuries ago, people were worried that if the number of horses increased at the current rate, we would be waist-deep in horse manure.

And you admit yourself that the "precise number is contentious".

Your framing of the stories is interesting: * "UK arrests were also for stickers" - surely there must be a point where we stop someone putting racists stickers everywhere. * "merely possessing materials designed to Stirring up racial hatred" - Presumably you're okay with someone stirring up racial hatred? * "Viewing "far-right propaganda" carries a 15 year jail sentence:" - No it doesn't, that's just an MP trying to get votes. * ""young white girls are being raped by these grooming gangs" ". Where does it say anything about a jail term?

As I said, things like DRM or the game phoning home to check it was authorised etc... Equally so, games that I've downloaded from the internet (e.g. Itch) are fully playable offline. The "physical disc" argument is irrelevant.
