It is also worth mentioning that Chosen and its CEO are seen using AI generated images on their website (including generated images depicting Tracer from Overwatch) hyping up ChatGPT on his Linkedin account, and are including "rewarding gamers with crypto money"

Users speculate that Chosen buying out NexusMods is to potentially train an AI model that generates mods

it is always so striking to me how much people value the lives of fully grown, voluntarily enlisted us soldiers, over the lives of civilians just trying to exist in the regions the us occupies.
