Is anyone else a little surprised that AI isn't being used more often to replace humans in leadership roles? It doesn't understand consequences, it has no moral compunctions, if you ask it the same thing twice it'll give you three different answers, it can talk persuasively about things it has...

Agreed. This is an issue I've put prior thought into. My conclusion was that something like this might happen but that it would take the form of instability in the wormholes used to link time periods rather than the tech not being invented in the first place; it mightn't get off the ground or be...

I blame IP law and DRM

Part of it is that I've played through it a few times. They were fun to talk to once or twice, but on repeated playthroughs it gets repetitive. Particularly the barn quest because I had to keep talking them again and again to try and figure out the specific thing the game wanted you to do; I've...
