We need to find a Senior Community Manager! It would be *really beneficial* for anyone applying to have online multiplayer and insider testing experience, for... absolutely no reason at all. Nothing to see here. Move along. Why would we even *say* that? ๐ www.doublefine.com/jobs

At no point should you ever produce anything of value, only SPECULATIONS of productivity that people can pump and dump and swap and loan and take out debt against which can then be repackaged and sold again until no one has even the slightest clue of what is holding this thing up!

The only thing you used to have to "log in" into was Runescape, now you have to log in to update drivers, log in to open unreal, log in to use photoshop, log in to see pictures of yourself from when you were logged out.

If I understand correctly, you can achieve that by attempting to add a key/value pair with an identical key to the one in the array you want to update the value of?

Most of the internet used to be like this. This is actually the default, it took companies enclosing the internet and adding weird, soul-killing incentives to make people behave the way they do now. In a way, there is truly nothing special about Wikipedia except that it survived longer.

These early days of people admitting/bragging that they used Ai to abdicate their expertise will be nothing compared to when people realize they need to hide that. Did your employee use Ai to do this task? Did your Boss use Ai to decide who to layoff?
