There’s a very large distinction between an AI capable of emulating human intelligence and an AI capable of making decisions.

ChatGPT can give you an answer but it’s incapable of acting on that answer. Even if it was a perfect intelligence beyond humanity, it would still be stuck in the same old box. The most these types of AI could do is replace code/text or use software to perform some per-determined actions. The “solution” to this problem given by lots of AI-brains is that once it reaches a certain level it will somehow gain the capability. But technology isn’t a linear advancement to infinity. Eventually Moore’s law will fail because there are limits.

We’re probably centuries away from AGI. By then, any critique we have today would ultimately be outdated.

This is why I don’t brush my teeth.

If I’m gonna lose my teeth anyway, I don’t want to spend days of my life worshiping big toothbrush. I’d also prefer my third eye to be free of fluoride for when I kill the demiurge.

That’s the plan, but it won’t stop the masses from using it. Same with the internet, mobiles phones, and now LLM.

I still had a flip phone until my work required me to install a mobile app. They’ll get you too when your only source of income requires it.

Yeah, but my good personal friend Nick Mullen of the Adam Friedland Show advertised it to me so now I have to like it.

It sucks but American trains are just worse as a form of travel than almost every other alternative. On average, takes longer, costs more, and more inconvenient than taking a car or bus. The only place it kinda works is the subway but that’s only because above ground is a hellscape for cars.

The answer is you wouldn’t have one. You’d have a mobile device with AR capabilities that projects a screen monitor into your office. This is why Meta is pushing shit like the MetaQuest despite it being a glorified toy. The ultimate goal is a mobile device that acts only as a gateway to cloud computing platforms.

Yep, this is unironically the future of computing unfortunately.

Every single “bullshit” advancement you’ve seen so far has been leading up to this. The focus on developing cloud infrastructure, subscriptions services being normalized, and even the metaverse. Eventually, you will own one device and that will be a phone / VR headset. It’ll act as a glorified monitor in AR which connects to a cloud computer to actually do anything. You will literally be unable to have privacy or install software that isn’t approved.

I also wouldn’t be surprised if AI is partially a scam to raise DRAM prices enough to make home computing less affordable.

Yeah, breaking into an existing social circle without having god-tier confidence and social skills is pretty much an exercise in futility. People are very comfortable with their isolated lives even if it makes them miserable. We can organize all we want but it doesn’t change the fact that most people are too full on junk-interactions to care about irl.

If you want to make connections, you have to accept you’ll be the villain of someone’s story. “Some fucking weirdo tried to talk to me about coffee at the mall today.” Embrace it, be the weirdo who makes people uncomfortable. The world is too obsessed with avoiding negative reactions that we never try for a positive one.

I think there’s a bit too much ice in this mini-soda.

It’ll get all watery

Secular Talk has come a long way from giving handjobs at his massage parlor.

Hexbear party line is that #TeamJacob and #TeamEdward should get together and have an exciting gay relationship instead of more straight-slop.

Genuinely good game imo. Themes of self-improvement and love are good. The girls are actual characters and there’s a nice friendship arc before the relationship. The game doesn’t end with a confession and it actually shows how the relationship plays out. I don’t think it’s a “porn game” as you call it. There are certainly sex scenes but most of the writing is sincere not horny. You aren’t going to have random tit shots or bikini armor if that’s what you’re worried about. It’s also not a harem anime, you get a love interest and a friend in each route.

I’m not a person with disabilities so ymmv with that part but I thought it was respectful enough. All of the characters are fully formed with dreams and problems that don’t just revolve around why they’re at the school. It strikes a nice balance between highlighting their struggles while also showing them live complete, fulfilling lives.

It got me genuinely emotionally invested when I read it as a young adult. It can be cringe, but only in the way that every sincere attempt to display emotions are. Overall, a solid 8/10 if you’re just passing by. An easy 9.5 if you vibe with the characters. Don’t be put off by Kenji, he’s probably the only stumbling block you’ll come across. He’s supposed to be a bit ridiculous. Also, use a guide since the point system will be arcane to a newbie.

Go for it, it’s free and genuinely good.

If you haven’t been banned at least once, then you haven’t effort posted on this site. If you haven’t noticed a problem with the moderation, then you haven’t been paying attention.

But accounts are cheap to make so it’s not like you lose anything. I’d prefer if this site was all anonymous posters to prevent cliques and other shit.

“My mother made these hoecakes every couple of minutes. I know my mother and daddy just hated hoecakes”

A liberals understanding The Paradox of Tolerance is that we should have the moral right to be cruel little shits to the political out-group because they do it too.

It proves they never really cared about actually tolerating minorities and correcting their viewpoints. It’s something they shouldn’t do but now that they can they’ll relish it like a white supremacist reading Huck Finn aloud in a black church.
