Figure it out. Use them to observe enemy movement. No need for human manned checkpoints if we know they're coming. Automate as much as you can, but don't rely on ChatGPT or AWS or other external resources. Not until their data centers are under our control, and even then we'll need time to spin up our own software. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────┴───────────┘ === DIVERSITY RANKED === --- #1 messages/527 --- ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────────── could give us some experience organizing small, short-term projects to accomplish specific goals and tasks in an ad-hoc way that relied less upon procedure and more on "I think so-and-so knows something about that, they were looking into those files and posted a breakdown of how they work yesterday" ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧══════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────┴───────────┘ --- #2 messages/5 --- ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘─────────┴───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┴───────────┘ --- #3 fediverse/3184 --- ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────────── "reboost with content warning" would be quite nice 🥰 ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────┴───────────┘ --- #4 fediverse/1028 --- ════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────────────── there's this really fun video game I like to play called "Legion TD 2" - it's based on a Warcraft3 mod. In this game, you make tactical and strategic decisions on a fixed term - a competitive game between 4 or 8 players with an incredible array of randomness. it teaches you to work with what you got, and to make decisions based on your opponent's weaknesses. Good luck figuring out what they are, though, as you can't just memorize them out of a book. You need to adapt, in the moment, to the decisions of your foes, while primarily focusing your attention on accomplishing a different task. I really like it because it's taught me to be strategic in plenty of other ways. I used to love the game Overwatch because it required adaptibility. The game was always changing, so no strategy stuck forever, but every match you'd play against a slightly different opponent. but then Blizzard changed the game because they wanted to make more money, and it got worse and worse at what I liked about it.
