“the insurance guy got shot on a public street so to avoid that particular fate I’m installing more guards and lasers in my house”
They are preparing for an AI apocalypse, so swarms.
Hmm, well, would it be that hard to set up mortar, and bombard them 24/7?
I wonder how much they’ll be paying their guards? Or the contractors to make sure that the building work is all properly done? I’m sure that they’ll be more than happy to be generous to other people when their life is on the line, and their insatiable greed won’t get in the way of making their fuhrerbunkers fully secure.
Ok, but there better not be an unskippable cutscene before the boss, I hate those, there is plenty of environmental lore to get what’s happening.
We need a good version of Mr Beast to sponsor the hitman speedrunning community to do something really funny
lmao
Is this a real picture? I know he looks like a fucked up fever dream of what humans are supposed to look like, but this has to be edited right?
Its a different person
JEFF BEZOSPoop in his vent hole!
[CHICAGO SUNROOF INTENSIFIES]Why is this emoji titled saul-anime. This website is like a fucking fever dream lmao no wonder people think we’re all out of our minds. (I mean this lovingly they think that because they are liberal losers).
that’s a common anime pose of, usually a girl, leaning over like that
all a high-end luxury home with lots of security says to me is “there’s a prize inside!”
The prize: slowing the environmental & biodiversity collapse, and a bit more freedom to society, also some polluted meat & bones.
Pretty sure there will be at least one TV though
Yeah, a 300+" that you can use as a garage roof.
Plus after a bunch of redecorating and a bit of remodeling these fortress mansions could be repurposed into apartments or communal living spaces for large adult polycules
Most of these places will have a sweet pool to share too, maybe even 2
Unless the billionaire asshole is the worst fucking kind of rich guy in which case it’ll be a shitty infinity pool
Isn’t that what happened in the USSR?
We call that environmental storytelling
I’m sure some esteemed deeds are commemorated here!
It’s like a kinder egg! 😋
Video games have trained me for this
I’m almost convinced Hideo Kojima was using MGS to try to teach stealth and combat skills to the gamers while making sure the West wasn’t the hero of the story
If hiding under carboard boxes doesn’t actually work, I’ll be sorely disappointed.
cardboard is also good against thermal vision of any kind
I was very impressed in MGS2 on the hardest difficulties if you were in a box that wasn’t in the area it should be the guards would try to move it, and if you had an alert they would search every spot methodically so they would still check your box unless you were like hidden beside other similar boxes. On some behind the scenes of the development they showed the dev team and Kojima going through a close quarters combat training class and learning how to properly clear rooms as a team.
But they later added an oil drum you can hide in and then roll at enemies in to take them down, that’s bulletproof and unstoppable in real battle.
“God job planting the gun on that handsome Italian kid Agent 47, for your next mission you’ll be going to a wedding in Venice…”
Lol. Reminds me of my favorite Dead Kennedys song. I wonder if one day one of these rich creeps will get shot by their own guards.
Fun fact, those guard jobs are often just regular jobs on indeed and anyone could apply and lie about their qualifications
Then your target just hands you a gun and thinks you’re gonna protect them
That’s just the start, once this happens once it will create a ripple effect of fear washing over the ruling class, they won’t trust their real bodyguards anymore and will inevitably treat them poorly due to this new paranoia, this of course leads to some of those bodyguards getting some thoughts of their own and it could all just keep going from there
They are 100% checking the palantir profile of each person. They’re only hiring the sort of chud that worships the rich.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
Is the contractor Vault-Tec, by chance, because we’re in the Fallout Timeline?
Good I hope they live in permanent fear
Meanwhile, millionaire politicians like

How hard would it be to program around a dozen drones or so to execute a coordinated kamikaze attack?
It’s for a book, I swear
ironically or unironically?
unironically don’t commit acts of terrorism.
ironically though, arduflight can do flight planning, and could probably trigger… other hardware at the right time if you need to. diy drones are probably less traceable too.
you can have an entire arc in your book about the democratization of making people afraid of beautiful clear days, it would be sick.
How feasible is 3D printing synthetic insect swarms that crawl up people’s asses, and set their own batteries on fire?
… ok but being a terrorist ironically just as a concept sounds kinda cringe.
Tho theoretically one could prob incorporate, purely for purposes of irony, billionaires own tools into the drones to customise them, keep things fun (after all, the point of terrorism is to inflict terror damage on the opponent so keeping class solidity would make sense).
Like some drones could be controlled by their own AIs, some drones would be coal powered instead of battery, some such diy drones could use a military drone as their main payload, etc.i can excuse the cringe as long as some pedo fascists get luigi’d
Thanks, and i am being 100% serious about the book thing
I am currently getting my first book edited for publishing, while also working on the sequels
Including manuals & blueprints in your books counts as fiction.
If only the left weren’t so anti-ai.
I don’t think you want generative “AI” to program a coordinated kamikaze drone attack.
Don’t tell me what I don’t want.
I’m only anti-AI in the sense that under our current system, it’s only being used as a means to deprive us of our means to make a living
I want cool shit like robot buddies and holodeck simulator games, but not if it’s destroying the environment and ruining people’s lives
Anything under capitalism is gonna do that anyway. 🤷 Did you think using Google as a spellchecker all these years was green? Lol.
compared to LLMs everything but bitcoin shit is green.
Spellchecker? I just move my fingers really fast and it usually works out
40 grand on a college education reallg panned out for me
Dictionary, spellchecker, whatevs. None of this (waves arms around) has ever been efficient or sustainable.
Famously compute heavy spellcheck.
We can abstract it to the idea of a video game. Imagine a video game with a dozen enemies all attacking the player with none overlapping. Easy peasy.
Holy shit the comments there are amazing
Yeah Kotaku and RPS comment sections tend to be pretty based. The one thing I see them both lib out on is Ukraine in both their coverage and comments. Which is funny because they cover Palestine way more and you would think that the two would be obviously fundamentally different given the content and frequency of the coverage of each but they often allude to them being similar. But what can you expect from what is just a progressive gaming news site. Occasionally you actually surprisingly well thought out Marxist analysis like in this thread.
