I went to a MAPS event in like 2012. It was at a children's science museum with Flying Lotus and Eoto + others performing. Everyone sloppy and spun out if their minds. It was hilarious. Several adults at a time chilling in a kids sand pit or doing the Ms Frizzle Magic School Bus interactive exhibit.

It sounds more like he was fired for being a douche rather than the LSD specifically.

The name is "Relativty" without the last 'i'

That's the issue. It's an awkward 4 syllables.

Is the AI Pilot given perfect 3D state space information about the opponent? Or is it using sensors and vision to build a state?

if you want to improve trust and communication in the workplace, encourage positive & healthy social relationships among employees, so they are comfortable enough to speak their mind.

drugging people into an uninhibited state so they speak their intoxicated thoughts is not a long term solution.

It introduces a non-work ritual into the workplace that is exclusionary to non-drinkers. It is naturally divisive to the workplace by encouraging social bonds between drinkers and excluding non-drinkers without a regular alternative.

It's like having a basketball game every Friday and expecting the guy in a wheelchair to show up and keep score. Sure, they can socialize a bit, but its inherently ostracizing and annoying especially if the person doesn't want to keep score.

Sure, voluntary social drinking among employees is fine whenever. And work sponsored drinking on occasion is fine, same as a work sponsored basketball game once in a while. Wheelchair guy won't have a problem with that. But every week? Ostracizing.

But having the sole, weekly, work-sponsored social event as something exclusionary is cult-like and creepy. It makes drinking integral to regular social bonding at work.

Sure, people can sip a sparkling water and play along. And they do. And sometimes it's fun, but it's almost never the context under which that individual prefers socializing. And once people have had a few drinks, it is ostracizing because they are not drunk. They cannot discuss their drinks, offer shots, or engage in drunken antics.
