Considering the context, I think there's a misunderstanding. That doesn't mean "becoming rich/powerful/noteworthy". It more likely means "Barely managing the essentials" - buying food, paying bills on time, sleeping enough. Everything in life becomes a struggle to overcome one's own resistance, which in turn makes every subsequent task that much harder. The accomplishments you talk of are fantastic dreams compared to just making it through the day.
Businesses can't know or think, either, so the line is clearly referring to people at Valve. For a pedantically accurate title, prepending the sentence with "The developers at" would clear it up, though personally I think it's fine as is.
The program can't pretend any more than it can tell truth. It's all just impressive regurgitation. Querying it as to why it "chose" to take any action is about as useful as interrogating a boulder on why it "chose" to roll through a house.
The worst imo is still the question asked during lockdowns that basically just asked him to say anything comforting to scared citizens, and he went off the handle accusing the reporter of being rude and mean, etc. Pretty much the easiest question for a sitting leader to just bullshit through for some easy PR and he couldn't help but make it about himself.
Hearing people giggle makes me so happy because it feels like such a genuine reaction of theirs, and some people have delightful giggles. Nick Offerman has a great one.
It really did. I have my issues with various things in the Dune series, but Herbert's writing skill is not one of them. It's very impressive and clearly influenced large swaths of modern day writing.
How bad was it really, though? This feels like those Inuit goggles that are narrow slits, though those are admittedly wider.
