"industry leader"

The president's addresses to the nation are played on every news channel including the local news. You don't need cable let alone the internet.

I will never understand these moments where she just asks twitter something she could easily google. Whenever she asks shit like this she's somehow oblivious how it inept it makes her look. This is someone whose male followers tip-toe like crazy when responding and still get shit like "You're showing your privilege/unconscious bias so I'll give you a warning". Imagine the minefield these guys feel when they actually want to respond to this shit but can't, wanting senpai to notice them... but also fearing senpai will notice them.

Because she wants to make sure everyone know what a good feminist she is. "Look at me, I'm watching Obama talk because I'm such a good and important feminist!"
 
Reading his tweets regarding Paragon Shepard is like gazing upon an elder god. It's like, what the hell did I just saw, and you'll go mad when your brain tries to process it.

Seriously, Paragon options are your standard good guy actions. How is calming down Wrex and have him rejoin him as your ally instead of capping his ass "selfish and unethical"?

Can we get her to play other "choice" games and see her try and justify taking the asshole choices?

I'd especially love to see Wu justify a playthrough of Fallout 3 where you nuke Megatron for reasons other than being intentionally evil. Did a quick review of the rewards you can get between blowing up the town vs. disarming the bomb, and frankly the only difference I can see is how dingy the walls of the house you get will be (functionally they otherwise are the same thing in every way), a few caps which wouldn't matter in the long run...and the obvious big one being blowing up the bomb can potentially make your negative karma reach the game's maximum limit and more or less permanently ensure you will be treated as evil by everything in the game from that point on.

In other words, in-game that choice to destroy Megaton is fueled only by pure greed, and out of game where you know all the factors that choice is fueled only if you want to role play being the next North Korean dictator*.

(*I know it's the Chinese who caused the nuclear war in Fallout lore, but right now NK's the one threatening to nuke the US every few months so...)

EDIT: damn, I spend way to long on these kinds of posts.
"I had to blow up Megaton. The money I got for doing it will allow me to do way more good for the women of the wasteland."

I'd also expect Wu to tell Moria to screw the idea of making the Wasteland Survival Guide entirely - after all, what immediate good would come from a long series of fetch quests?
 
Última edición:
I suspect his renegade tweets are just more of him trying to be an edgy try hard.
Flynt says retarded shit so people will pay attention to him.
 
Created an account to say something about Wu's venture capital ambitions. In that incredibly catty podcast they did about the Samantha Bielefield, one of Wu's only contributions was to complain about how as a woman so many doors are closed to her that would be open to a man "with the same experience." She's also claiming she's in the middle of raising $23 million dollars in VC in the latest interview she did. She's full of shit.

She's been attempting to raise venture capital for more than a year now, and she's been stringing poor Anna Megill along who is supposed to be "director" of this project along for all that time. She had a patreon initially to try and cover her expenses, now her savings have run out and she's had to resort to temp jobs. I'm not sure why she still believes Wu is actually going to pay her at some point, but apparently she does.

The thing Wu is describing though is incredibly ambitious. Not only much better speech recognition and natural language processing than is currently available to the average programmer on the street, but analysis of intent and emotional content. Not even the top research labs have anything close to this. Wu isn't any sort of audio engineer, has no fucking clue about cutting edge AI, basically has no idea how to even start implementing her ideas. I can say with certainty that I'm an infinitely better software engineer that Wu, and I couldn't even prototype half the stuff she says she's going to do.

Nobody is going to take her business plan seriously. Her entire strategy seems to be that she has the great ideas, and if she's given millions of dollars she'll hire the little people to make that happen. Venture capital is for companies that have the demonstrated ability to deliver a thing, but need money to deliver it at scale or to bootstrap manufacturing. Wu has nothing but pie in the sky ideas, and anybody can have those.

The weird thing is that Giant Spacekat doesn't appear to have a plan B if they can't get this money. Wu can go on pretending indefinitely she's a game developer as long as Frank still has a job, but how long are Anna Megill and Amanda Warner going to put up with her delusions of grandeur? It's going to be interesting watching for the point when they finally get disillusioned. I expect that to happen sometime next year.

Wu became director of development with almost no proof of competency. Men have to go to school or at least have a nice portfolio on github maybe some work experience.
23 million in VC is like someone who graduated from MIT and worked on something cool before coming up with something cool. Nobody held back in life thinks they will get 23 million to build AI without a degree.
