  • I remember learning this after playing the game and being totally blindsided by it. Not that I doubt Druckman intended for the story to say something about Palestine and Israel, but because his zionist understanding of the situation completely lacks the context of settler colonialism it ultimately says nothing.

    After having it pointed out to me I can see that a lot of zionist myths have crept into the game, which partly explains why it feels like such a sludge of misanthropy. Part of justifying the abuses of those in power is telling yourself everyone would be just as bad or worse, and Druckman really seems to have internalized that.

    Very uplifting news. I think everyone here understands that AI is a tool that can be clunky and time-consuming to use, and can do pretty much no job on its own (even though it’s great for some types of research and stuff), but I was definitely worried that enough CEOs would believe otherwise for it to have a negative impact.

    LLMs have been in the public consciousness a couple of years now, long enough to be sceptical of the"just wait a few more years and it will change everything" crowd. We should have at least started seeing some impact by now if that was the case.
