I mean, I suppose, but at that point it really hits the level of abstract principle rather than plausible policy. Kind of up there with “no more war”, “ending hunger”, or “socialism replacing capitalism”.
And while I do believe that a better world is possible, I really wanted to speak to things that are plausible in the existing political and economic climate in my lifetime.
Playing Disco Elysium for the first time and it’s really good. Reminds me a lot of Planescape: Torment. Really a breath of fresh air after Fallout 4.
Fallout 4 had fun gameplay, but my god did the writing suck. There were a few good bits, but overall it was garbage. The 4-options-only dialogue system blew anyway, but the options were always “Yes”, “No”, “Meh/Sarcastic Yes”, and “Tell me more!” It was terrible.
At least in Skyrim you were a nobody that everyone wanted a piece of, you lack of internal motivation was understandable. The conflicts were between the groups were rooted in a history you woke up in the middle of. There were literally chaos gods (daedra) fucking shit up. For the love of god Bethesda, please just make the next Fallout game an actual RPG.
Oh, and I also need to circle back around to Dave the Diver now that the Godzilla DLC is out.
Yeah but there’s no real international authority for that, and how am I supposed to get my national government to join a treaty organization for that purpose when neither it nor any lower level of my government offer anything similar?
GOG is good too.
Right? Call it what you will, changing terms of sale or use after taking someone’s money is wrong.
Also nationwide lead removal fund.
Copyright should go back to 14 years.
And forced arbitration should be invalidated.
Haiku, but honestly I’m just happy to see the conversations here
Dogs working contribute to society, but don’t talk. I don’t know why being able to talk would suddenly change things for cats.
There are probably safeguards in place to prevent the creation of CSAM, just like there are for other illegal and offensive things, but determined people work around them.
the AI has to be trained on something first. It has to somehow know what a naked minor looks like. And to do that, well… You need to feed it CSAM.
First of all, not every image of a naked child is CSAM. This is actually been kind of a problem with automated CSAM detection systems triggering false positives on non-sexual images, and getting innocent people into trouble.
But also, AI systems can blend multiple elements together. They don’t need CSAM training material to create CSAM, just the individual elements crafted into a prompt sufficient to create the image while avoiding any safeguards.
It would not need to be trained on CP. It would just need to know what human bodies can look like and what sex is.
AIs usually try not to allow certain content to be produced, but it seems people are always finding ways to work around those safeguards.
i feel like he sounds like psychopath even now.
I think it’s rash to judge the tone of his writing like that. It can be a struggle to identify and admit one’s flaws, and it’s certainly a struggle for most people of the modern era to write elegantly with only pen and a few sheets of paper.
A person like what? There’s no connecting thread between morality, emotional maturity, and programming skills.
No. Some of the worst politicians are young. Some of the best politicians are old. Age isn’t a problem. Undemocratic systems and bad politics are problems.
Actually agree, generally.
Bitcoin is a pyramid scheme basically, but it’s not the only block chain in town.
Anonymous peer-to-peer financial exchanges can actually be good.
Cooperative ledgers can be good.
Public ledgers can be good.
Looks like it’s written by AI.
It is kinda weird that real estate gets taxed just for existing and being held, but stocks, which supposedly represent a fraction of a mass of real wealth too, don’t get taxed while just being held.
