        I think the idea was that this is the simulation you outlined and so if you are not ‘Trump, Elon, Zuck etc’ then you aren’t playing, you are a bot.

      People made mods with NPCs powered by LLMs

      I’ve never tried them, the quality is probably questionable at best, but I don’t think those guys will notice a difference

      I read this and the other linked article about how bad musk is at poker and I’m so mad now. He’s such a fucking fool.

    Sure. Send them to personalized matrix heaven.

    You don’t even have to trick them into it. Just tell them it’s really cool and they should just try it out and then they put on the vr helmet and they’re gone.

    You could even do a simulated vr-exit to alleviate any doubt and shame.

    “There was no crime in the Culture, not really. Not because people were punished—there were no punishments, as such—but because nobody wanted to commit crimes. Or if they did, there were outlets, safe simulations that hurt no one.”

      Politicians tend to be the people who shouldn’t be in charge.

      With that being said, there are a few decent politicians on either side. They just get drowned out by all the chaos.
