Doesn’t make any sense.

If a restaurant wanted to do this, they’d make you pay before you ate, obviously.

Exactly.

“We’re working on something so amazing you better hold us back! Honestly we’re going to release our AGI any day now, just a few more rounds of VC and boom.”

I think thats the plan.

If no one monitors climate then is it really changing?

Who cares, honestly.

People do stupid things and bear the consequences.

In this messed up timeline where people dont want to avail themselves of basic health interventions and food hygiene theyre welcome to fuck themselves IMO.

Oh man. The last part of my comment is a joke. Im mocking you. You seem like you’d be really fun at parties. Go shitsplain jokes to someone else.

Its more for the benefit of your executionists. A fig leaf for their shame.

Fair point. I do agree.

Correct on all counts.

Most stupid questions in nostupidquestions are indeed stupidquestions, but… that’s literally what its for.

With the frankly pathetic MAU numbers on the fediverse this stuff doesn’t matter very much.

After her weird press thingy a month ago this is what everyone concluded, yes.

You’re right, I don’t know him, but I still think you’re making up a deeper level of humor that wasn’t intended.

“Luckily the good guys have won every single time” is a very direct jab at historians always casting themselves as the good guys.

You’re all up in here like “wull ackshually this is a post modern commentary on feminism because he’s used the gendered phrase ‘guys’ and you just wouldn’t get it because reasons”.

Ill have to take your word for it. As written, it doesn’t seem that way to me at all.

The joke refers to the addage that history is written by the victor, but that just isn’t true.

Indeed.

Also just naive to think that there are “good guys” and “bad guys”. When you dig into the nuance of any conflict its almost always complicated.

Naming a Bluetooth device “bomb” could absolutely be intentionally disruptive or threatening.

Im not saying thats provable beyond reasonable doubt in this case.

Probably using speech to text so, that’s already happening.

Actually I’m interested to hear your perspective because I have no experience of anything like that.

I just feel like star trek has romanticised space exploration to the point where most people can’t conceptualise the hardships that would be involved.

Just as an example, on the ISS, just outside earth’s atmosphere, ive heard that the air smells putrid. Astronauts just deal with it because they’re passionate about the project.

I guess my pessimistic view is that “life on Mars” would basically be very similar to life on a submarine but with no ports or shore leave or furlough.

As time rolls on im increasingly confused by the growing chasm between the lovers and the haters.

FWIW im firmly team fuckai. I find the implications for the future and for my children kinda terrifying.

The part I dont really understand is that to me it just seems SO inescapably terrible for any specific purpose, but people still seem to think ita useful.

WDYM? Its right there.

Sorry you’re thinking about it like, if everyone has a lawn that needs to be mowed then there will be many mower guys all competing on price.

In this case someone has built a gargantuan mower in the middle of your city that eats a dozen students an hour and everyone prefers to more their own lawn anyway.

Thats kinda of my point though, im predicting that there will never be a new world, either under the ocean or “off world”.

Its a fascinating concept, and I do love sci fi, but in reality it just doesn’t seem plausible.
