I have nothing witty or insightful to say, but figured this probably deserved a post. I flipped a coin between sneerclub and techtakes.

They aren’t interested in anything besides “superintelligence” which strikes me as an optimistic business strategy. If you are “cracked” you can join them:

We are assembling a lean, cracked team of the world’s best engineers and researchers dedicated to focusing on SSI and nothing else.

    “Your wages feel overtuned.”

    “We’re thinking of reworking your position.”

    “This company is in beta. Your position is not fixed and might not be in the final product.”

    Tangent: As a first time participant in an early access game, I came across the term “overtuned” which made me irrationally angry. My understanding is that it is supposed to mean “you buffed this because of feedback but maybe a little too much” but I have rarely seen it used to mean other than “this needs a nerf, and I won’t justify my position, but I want to sound like I’m reasonable”

      please never let me make the mistake of becoming a game developer; I absolutely would be the guy who closes this ticket with “fuck off gamer” and gets us review bombed by the worst parts of our playerbase
