technology@hexbear.net•OpenAI Staffers Horrified When Senior Leadership Hatched “Insane” Plan to Pit World Governments Against Each OtherEnglish
25·19 days ago“The premise, which they didn’t dispute, was ‘We’re talking about potentially the most destructive technology ever invented — what if we sold it to Putin?'” an exasperated Hedley told The New Yorker.
Why build such a place? Simple. The Umbrella Corporation derived its primary income from the sale of viral weaponry, something that’s impossible to test in the real world. They re-created the center of New York, simulated an outbreak, showed it to the Russians and sold them the virus. They simulated an outbreak in Moscow, sold it to the Americans. An outbreak in Tokyo, sold it to the Chinese. An outbreak in China, sold it to the Japanese. Exactly. Everyone had to have it. The Umbrella Corporation built a new arms race.
this is literally the plot of resident evil retribution (2012). idk if its “near comic book villany” this is plagiarized “video-game-adjacent-movie villany”. on brand for the ceo of plagiarism machine i suppose.

1·1 month agoahaha im actually incredibly boring and just have adhd lol. aside from the forums (which are 90% of my social interaction tbh) everything else is probably going to wind up getting closed without me actually going anywhere with it.
nothing wrong with watching yt and netflix! tbh thats basically all i did from 2020 till like. mid-last year. ive only really started getting back into hobby type stuff in the last 6 months or so, and its still incredibly hit-or-miss.
what’s something you watched lately that you liked?

7·2 months agoimo its bc theyre the so called “smart” branch so the venn diagram of “evangelical freaks who are also homeschooled and think theyre smart bc mom said so” go for that one. bonus points for being in civil air patrol bc that org is absolutely infested with homeschoolers and is basically a pipeline to the air force for them
source: former evangelical freak who was homeschooled who went for the air force and fortunately washed out of basic before i could graduate to do war crimes.

Main, home of the dope ass bear.@hexbear.net•Guess the country/continent/colony/polity by its name in my conlang: names beginning with AEnglish
2·2 months agoTap for spoiler
i guessed pretty much the same as AernaLingus for the obvious ones so im not gonna repeat them, and im probably very wrong on my two guesses but Aksá made me think of al Aqsa which is…jerusalem? palestine in general?
Aĺamane made me think of the Alemanni, which would be alsace (alsace-lorraine?? i think its just alsace now) or maybe switzerland?

9·3 months agoif it makes you feel better, most planes are whirling blade planes, the whirling blades just live inside a nice housing that keeps them safe.

15·7 months agoDA5: You can play an orlesian noble or a tevinter magister (both are human men. the skin tones range from “fresh snow” to “beige”). your morality choices are whether you call elves and/or qunari slurs to their faces or not. You can advocate for tevinter style slavery in orlais and if youre orlesian, you can set up your soapbox on the ashes of the alienage for added effect.
