Having played a lot of raft with my kids, I can say I never would have thought of it for this. But looking back, yeah, there is a good deal of world building going on.

Sounds like you forgot to consider the energy cost of developing each AI model. Developing and maintaining a model is vastly more energy intense than 3d game dev. Keep in mind that you can ship a 3d game and ramp down gpu use for dev. But an AI model has to be constantly updated, mostly by completely retraining. Also, noone was clamoring to build massive data centers just to develope one game. Yet they are for one model.

You’re both right. The extreme hype means it isn’t yet all that useful. But it doesn’t mean it won’t get there. Once it is there, they won’t need to hype it as much.

The root of the issue is allowing officer to lie in order to deprive people of thier rights.

He knew he had nothing, he was just trying to get a confession by saying it was a 100% lock. The cameras wouldn’t matter as much if lieing like that was illegal.

I feel like it changes the meaning of “day”. In some contexts, day is the daylight hours… but in this context it is from when you woke up to when you went to sleep. So it feels a bit more timezone agnostic. But only a tiny bit. This would be more ture if you were comparing have a good afternoon to have a good day.

But the real answer. Someone just didn’t like saying the same thing over and over, so threw in some variation. Someone else who wanted to suck up to them started using it. Others just happened to follow.

You started out decent, then went off the deepend. You are connecting plants to refined sugars in the end. An apple (from a plant) has no refined sugar. No plants do. And the milk thing sounds like a conspiracy theory. They ban raw milk because if it isn’t handled correctly, it can make you sick. While this is a bit of an over reach, in most places it started long before thier was an industry to protect.

I wish their were, but I’m not so sure. They started arresting people who simply wrote articles they didn’t like. They have declared an organization that doesn’t actually exist terrorists. So now all the have to do is is say, you’re antifa and you are under arrest. Any peacful solution will just result in the people involved getting arrested. Or at some point they will just declare a peaceful protest a terrorist attack because one person threw a rock that they thought was a gernade… and they then just open fire. They are clamping down on the media so that only thier voice is heard. And they are meddling with elections so they can’t lose. But here is a simpler answer. If thier were peaceful ways, then the people of more countries would have used those in thier countries. But if you look, the vast majority are under the control of corrupt governments. The US is the result of a violent revolution. It just didn’t last. Corrupt rule is the steady state that all large organizations trend toward.

Cultural norm is the term I used. That means perceived norm by a given culture. That is what we are divergent from. It is at least accurate in what it communicates. Most every other term is like sick. It specifically implies bad. Nuerodivergent is at least nuetral.

They didn’t say zombifying. All the side effects they listed can still occur when you have found the effective dosage.

Also, “sick” when it comes to mental health is pretty much always measured against the cultural norm. That is why nuerodivergent is a better word. Cause it is divergent from the current norm. Even if that norm isn’t actually the average.

And gosh forbid they are “out”, cause you can only check 3 days before you run out. Nothing like being treated like a criminal because of a medical condition.

Noone would ever confuse me for someone who dresses for others. Lol

In this case though he said he was in a union. So committing to something sets precedent that can be used against the union. If there was no union involved, then I agree with you. I just suck at lieing.

Dictators care about how they are perceived because they used skills in manipulating how they are perceived to get into the position they are in. Making it a self selecting group. But when you change “how” they get there to simply be that they were given superpowers at birth, you remove the self selection. So now it is just a random sampling of the population, which in my opinion skews toward not caring as much about how they are percieved if they don’t need to.

There are certainly people who do. But I think they are the minority. They do sort of bunch up though. So if you are one, you probably don’t realize you are the minority.

That is too much of a commitment. Should end with I’ll consider that, or I’ll look into that.

Sadly, if it is in the cloud, it can get hacked far more easily than on your local. But neither is really safe. And very few people can stomach what they would have to do to improve thier odds.

Nope, cause pharmaceutical company would produce a drug that you take for a short time and never need again. Not enough profit. And they would have no actual control over the superheros. In the boys, all of the sups seemed to care what the public thought of them so much, they would do what the corp wanted. In reality, the ones who didn’t care would outnumber the ones who did. And they would just kill whoever they wanted, and threaten to kill others to get what they wanted. Kinda like the oligarchy we have today, but with far less constraint, and no need to even try to hide things like being pedos and racists and such.

Only workers are expected to be happy with good enough. The elite will never say the balance of thier bank account is good enough. And thus companies always need to grow bigger.

I have two kids, one is autistic officially, the other they say no… but also say she has many autistic symptoms. They say Adhd can do that. Anyway, the official one has low sensitivity, the other very high sensitivity. I have higher than average myself. I don’t really know what I can do for her, but she avoids normal kid activities because of anxiety about pain.

Meh, that was the sales pitch. But name one tool in development that actually does what the sales pitch claimed. Knowing how to get useful info out of AI does involve knowing how to talk to it. Just like getting the most out of gitlab means knowing how they intend for you to organize your jobs. So AI is just like every other tool, overhyped, underdelivering, and has “some” use.
