    Yeah if you read the reviews the singularity is more a bit of a godot situation than something Yudi fears and has doubts over, which is a bit different than Yud who created the ‘we must make sure it is friendly’ institute earlier.

    Bit like making a play about Jack Thompson but in the play he reviews video games.

      I don’t know who Jack Thompson is, so just pretend that I came up with some incredible, witty interleaving of references to waiting for godot, the torment nexus meme, and Jack Thompson

        It was the guy angry about videogames. Just an ancient reference nothing special sadly. Just a random guy most people thought was wrong. Turns out GTA isnt a cop killing training simulator.

        Of course the newest gta release is turning into a waiting for godot situation. (Apparently it was delayed again, not my game series, only liked the first two)

          OH that Jack Thompson. Yeah I remember now. Man, on one hand, his actions were at best misguided and at worst totally insane. On the other hand, IMO we wouldn’t know about him if video game people were by any measure calm or reasonable.
