It predicts that Tesla could save money by padding the numbers, and does a little fraud automagically

You could just download it, no need to actually print the thing for no reason

I would buy a larger drive to do that though, just to say I did

I thought the second one was weak, the third one was ok though

The new one is just the first one redone… The parallels were so forced though so hard the message was drowned out

The writing is great, it’s where they meet Hollywood that the films start to flag. I mean, even from the premise - the machines using us as batteries is stupid, the original idea of them using us as processors is way better

I follow laws mainly because of my own sense of morality - I don’t kill, I steal only when I feel I need to, and I don’t commit fraud because these things are obviously generally wrong.

I follow stupid laws (such as needing insurance, paying income taxes, or not speeding) out of fear of punishment. These are issues I’ll basically never have, because I’m good at driving and don’t make enough to affect state level operations

I think you replied to the wrong comment, but I agree

Granted, if they could actually make this work, they could probably do the robotaxi thing or even get into logistics. That would make it easily worth it to build dispatch centers basically everywhere

That is, if they could make it work

Nah, there’s not that many. There’s large swaths of the US where you have to drive across multiple states to get to one, in part for legal restrictions on dealerships

Not really… Think networking, not gameplay

The easiest to get past all the NAT (or weirder networking) is to just have everyone connect to a server and pass the data through the right connection. It’s quick and dirty, but you can do your routing on the application layer

I’m not sure that’s what they are doing, but it makes sense based on the details I’ve seen

That’s really easy. Never let go of the joy of learning, and take pride in admitting your mistakes.

It’s that simple. When you’re told there’s another way, your first reaction should be curiosity

I think in thoughts. It boggled my mind to learn this isn’t how everyone thinks

Like, I don’t have a running narrative in my head - words bubble up, but it’s just like muttering, just occasional words. I only try to put them into sentences when I’m talking or imagining talking - like everything I write.

I don’t read like this, which is part of why I’ll terrible with names - if I read a book, I don’t know how to say or spell a character’s name until I try

If I had to describe it, it’s like memories. If you think elephant, you might see an elephant, you might hear the word elephant - but on some level you also probably think about things related to the concept. Like memories of seeing an elephant, elephant facts, other African animals

That bundled concept is elephant to me - the word is how you say it, I can get the impression of looking at an elephant, I can hear their cry - but at the center of this web of details is an elephant

I build my thoughts by chaining these concepts together, and where they fit together is the main thread of the train of thought - I can then move my focus across this thread and the hanging threads to solve problems

Things just click together or they don’t

If you tell me you feel like an elephant (and I have no idea what that could mean) I’d take the two concepts and try to draw threads between them. I cycle through concepts that feel in between them - elephant in the room, large/imposing, unforgiving, powerful - these loosely fit from elephant to your mental state. And from the other side, ugly, isolated/seen as an outsider/problem, or maybe you mean you literally feel like an elephant in a human body

Threads link between them or they don’t, maybe I’m missing an intermediate concept I haven’t yet associated with either and I have no idea what you mean

And that’s how I think. If I had to link it to a sense, it’s like proprioception - I’m moving through my thoughts and linking together connections, but it’s my my own mind I’m moving through and around me

But ultimately, it’s not words - there are concepts I don’t know how to label, although words help me identify concepts

Yes. Because all my life, we’ve been frogs in a steadily warming pot, and the heat has been cranked up to max

People are angry. People are protesting, doing vandalism with a prison sentence longer then murder, people are raging at their futures being cut off

Everything creates a reaction. The worse is gets, the faster it gets worse, the larger the reaction.

The best future is the one where people get so angry we stop. That’s all it takes to kill the game - if enough people, even for a short time, stop playing - it all stops

The world is robust. Humans are robust. If we stopped killing both, everything could recover shockingly fast

Things will get worse, things are very bad already, but it’s not over. I feel lighter every time the stock market drops, because it’s imaginary but the hurt is real.

The more and faster the hurt, the more people will wake the fuck up and stop this

Because ultimately, digital goods are infinite.

They would make more money on a Mario game that costs $30 with no drm then a $90 game impossible to pirate

There’s an AI meeting summary I get every week, I’ve never clicked on it but I did yesterday. The customer owes me $89. I’m not sure why, but the AI was very clear I am owed this debt, so I’m considering sending an invoice

On the other hand, integrating AI with conventional systems is a specialty of mine. Or can be done, it can be done clearly, and it’s incredibly powerful

You’re also missing a big piece… You can’t fucking trust the reviews any more. Steam reviews are great, and game reviewers have been trying to insist “no, this trash game is actually great, don’t trust your fellow gamers” for years now

At this point, it’s blatantly obvious you can pay for good critic reviews, and there’s no walking that back… Especially since there’s better, more honest, options

Repair, smuggle, Jerry rig

I mean… Everything is, really. I don’t think it’s a problem with cloud, I think corporations are slashing their workforce so hard they can’t keep up the quality

I found it super cool. It’s dreamlike… There’s no enemies so it didn’t feel like a nightmare, just like playing a game in a dream

LMAO XD I thought that was a typo, nah cows are herd based, I don’t think they even truly have territories the same way

But yeah, crows are dope

I mean… Be the change you want to see in the world

Pastel goth never really got time in the sun, and the my little pony rainbow style look (I forget the name) did, so I feel like it could very well catch on. Especially as a counter culture response to the coming years… Especially since I think people are going to learn to make their own clothes and not have to deal with hot topic garbage

I don’t know of any documentaries, there’s probably some stuff on YouTube. It is really interesting learning about crow social structures through, we’re looking at it from the outside, but it sure sounds like some form of basic government to me

Yes, it should. Artists should be able to live without justifying their existence to the economy, everyone should… And then they could make money on their creations, and if someone came along who could use their characters better, then oh well… They still get to eat. But the original creator is usually be better at making their OC… And companies are the ones who usually hold the copyright even if a single employee made it

So fuck it, I’d rather make sure everyone can eat and have a home first, but if we did it in the opposite order the damage would be minimal to individual artists
