A couple of thoughts on this as a union electrician: for starters AI is absolutely having an (arguably negative) impact on manpower fulfillment. In my area the massive expansion of data centers is causing a manpower shortage for all projects not funded by massive tech companies. This is complicated because it’s inflating income for tradesmen due to demand, but it’s also pressuring workers into ridiculous schedules (think 4x10s, 2x8s, and most Sundays) and is forcing contractors that aren’t running data center work to completely rework their payment structure and bid practices. Many of these sites are also a 1-2 hour commute for a large number of tradies. A lot of these guys have been gaslit for decades into thinking working more OT somehow makes them a better person.

Beyond that, while I haven’t personally seen it yet AI will absolutely begin worming its way into design; a process already riddled with issues and errors largely due to time constraints. Clients are going to want work done faster and cheaper, which will pressure design teams into using AI tools in the name of expediency, which will lead to more errors in the construction process, leading to inflated costs and likely problematic installations.

That’s not even getting into the future of AI robotics which absolutely will be impacting our tradesmen directly in the near future.

It’s coming for us too.

This is really a shame. The Helldivers community was really positive and supportive for quite a while after launch. I haven’t played since early last year so I have lost touch, but this is sad to hear.

I said every comment. Your comment warranted the use of language, please learn to use it.

I don’t have time to write a rebuttal to every mouthpiece with an opinion. Down voting is a quick way to disagree.

Mid is exactly how I have seen Marathon described by the server slam feedback. People vasalating between whether or not they like it immediately after starting to play it is not a great look.

Literally the only reason my family interacts with Facebook. It’s infuriating.

As a native of DFW I’m curious what you mean by this.

The theoretically vast availability has made me quick to abandon games that didn’t deserve it. I’m having a lot of difficulty committing to even some objectively good games. I don’t enjoy the bouncing around and yet I keep doing it. It feels related to FOMO.

On top of that, I have personally developed some gaming habits that I don’t care for at all as a direct result of gamepass.

Agreed

We watched this exact same tactic happen with Xbox gamepass over the last 5 years. They introduced it and left in the capability to purchase the “upgrade” for $1/year. Now they are suddenly cranking it up to $30/month and people are still paying it because they feel like it’s a service they “have to have”.

If anyone is looking to try something new - I really enjoyed WaterfallNiagra after dropping Nova.

Sounds like some of you need to get hacked back in time!

Wow you’re making a lot of blanket statements about millions of people. Also, if you’ll go back and look I specifically said we’re actively doing what we can. Just because you’re too stupid to understand me walking down the gun store, kissing my kids goodbye and going on a good ol Trump hunt isn’t going to do anything other than leave my young children without a father, doesn’t mean myself or millions of other people are inactive.

Get fucked you entitled little shit. You’re the reason that we have a hard time convincing our own dipshits not to shoot you!

And?

All I’m seeing is another “fuck you, my needs are the only thing that matter” MAGA-type in your responses. Way to be part of the problem. You’re no different than Trump’s supporters. You just have the benefit of not being born here.

Might need to encourage that number back to 0.

Organize, is the point they are driving at. We the people have the numbers to be literally unstoppable, the trick is getting all those people moving in the right direction.

Wow alright, fuck you too then I guess?

Please stop vilifying the entirety of America. There are millions of us that are doing everything we can to organize against this while also feeding our families.
