oh fuck off, jill

whenever we have new technology, there will always be folks flinging shit on the walls to see what sticks. AI is no exception and you’re most likely correct that not every problem needs an AI-powered solution.

I gotta ask, do these Hollywood folks really know anything about Kojima and the works he’s done? I feel like I don’t typically run into people who know Metal Gear Solid so I have to wonder if they even know who they’re meeting lol

Here’s why:

People are fucking stupid.
