...... what? This isn't your home with open stairwells and loose venting doorjams. This is a thirteen story office building with elevators and badged access easements.

virtue signaling of the highest degree.

Depends on what you mean, LLMs can probably _make_ pretty good AIs. It'll have all the AI scripts in the base game, including the three iterations (base, FE, DE) all the user gener…
