I Let an Ai play Cities Skylines 2 - It Was a Mistake 

Its crazy how motivating an AI purely by profit makes it immediately dive into every corrupt methodology nearly immediately. It nearly categorically explained how government corruption works lol.

@@SmokeandSpirit And then lots of people wonder why there's so much push-back on capitalism.

​@@WilliamLDeRieuxIV Yeah, I don't exactly wonder myself. I get it. Although I also don't conflate capitalism to purely a profit motive. Nor do I deny we need some socialist policies, better regulation of antitrust crimes, and better laws to counter corruption; which using an AI in this way could help inform.

@@SmokeandSpirit > I also don't conflate capitalism to purely a profit motive Well it's very easy for capitalists to be consumed with greed (they only see dollar signs), thus, capitalism is a gateway that can lead to them thinking that it is ok to exploit the people (like the AI did) just because it might be more profitable. In other words, capitalism enables them.

@@WilliamLDeRieuxIV Most certainly. Just people have complex arrays of motivations and values. They are not a purely one dimensional expression no matter what system they exist in. Also money is a multipliar of the expression of those values, not the determinor of, said values. I wouldnt deny some people are susceptible to greed induced brain rot. I don't think its the cause of it though. Though the fact that anyone can reach absurd levels of wealth is silly. There's no value to having that much power concentrated in ones hands. It destroys the balance of power in society and the government and puts all of our well being at risk. Especially if we cannot ensure its left in the hands of those who would create the most shared value with it. If capitalism has any strong flaw its that it doesnt reward honest people with the higher reward, so the dishonest gain more power. This is why it needs to be counterbalanced at least in some respect with socialistic ideals imo. Regulation can only go so far. Wealth caps and basic income may indeed become an inevitability by the time true AI automation gets here anyways. The only reason i dont speak complete ill will on capitalism is its just free enterprise and ill cling to that freedom until the day i die. So its not capitlism itself thats messed up its uncapped capitalism or capitalism on meth like we have now or this "greed is good" bullshit.

With an interesting EARLY LIFE section.

LOL skynet hahaha this is how it is now were do you thank thew Billions in tax's goes lol

underrated comment right here

good reminder of how little your life in the united kingdom is worth

Jamaicanism 🇯🇪🇬🇬

True, it's like they were devoring their neighbors

Giant Sequoia lore goes hard af

Yea its awful

To be fair, the city didnt budget enough to hire actual firefighters. So sentient fire trucks will do

@@Renavo I feel like that would be more expensive though...

@@Dramn_ It's not awful. The problem with CS2 is that it's not an upgrade it's a side - grade. It has a bunch of stuff it does do really well - like building roads and setting transport lines just work better in CS2. But there are also so many things it does so much worse, like mod support, and simple details like firefighters putting out the fire or, you know, fences. I still can't believe fences weren't in the base game!

@@heavyarms55 the power of technology does wonders! Jokes aside, it looks goofy when the firetrucks just go to the house, kill the fire, don't elaborate, then leave. As funny as it is, I really hope it was a dumb oversight by the devs

Just like real life

is that from Alpha Centauri?

@@TheSykoRC andromeda acendant

isnt this just china ? Massive polution and put people to work 24/7

This is literally how we Europeans imagine the US works.

​@@derpderpin1568what does that have to do with his question

I'm pretty sure it was prompted in some way to tailor the answers toward maximizing profits
