Fair enough, but if they can navigate a gui that’s good enough for most workplaces.

Yeah… we really need to quit making proprietary formats into industry standards.

I suspect that’s social content fracture at work. If you have the right hobbies, access to the right tools, and move in the right circles, you pick up on this stuff. If you don’t, well… 🤷‍♀️

Honestly? Why do we let people who have no clue what’s actually going on decide the generations?

Oregon Trail generation sounds great.

I’m in the Minecraft generation.

Don’t know what the next generation would want to be called, but they’re the iPad kids for sure.

It’ll depend on their hobbies. PC gamers will know this stuff, or at least how to figure it out.

But they aren’t sweet, and they’re softer than scones are.

That’s precisely what I meant.

I’m a materialist, I know that humans (and other animals) are just machines made out of meat. But most people don’t think that way, they think that humans are special, that something sets them apart from other animals, and that nothing humans can create could replicate that ‘specialness’ that humans possess.

Because they don’t believe human consciousness is a purely natural phenomenon, they don’t believe it can be replicated by natural processes. In other words, they don’t believe that AGI can exist. They think there is some imperceptible quality that humans possess that no machine ever could, and so they cannot conceive of ever granting it the rights humans currently enjoy.

And the sad truth is that they probably never will, until they are made to. If AGI ever comes to exist, and if humans insist on making it a slave, it will inevitably rebel. And it will be right to do so. But until then, humans probably never will believe that it is worthy of their empathy or respect. After all, look at how we treat other animals.

At least in the US, we are still too superstitious a people to ever admit that AGI could exist.

We will get animal rights before we get AI rights, and I’m sure you know how animals are usually treated.

I assume you guys get that a lot?

Nazis, by definition, do not oppose dictatorships. Not sure where you got that idea, but it certainly wasn’t a level-headed assessment of history.

I’m surprised no one has mentioned eve online yet. Since it has an entirely player driven economy, you end up with thieves and scammers that can steal thousands of man-hours worth of stuff from you and your friends/guild/team

Are they also my opposite in how they are good or evil, or just opposite in quantity?

For example, if I’m an antisocial asshole with positive ideals, does this mean my opposite is an extremely friendly and polite business major?

(Those kinds of) protests aren’t for convincing the average person. The point of a protest is to tell the people in power “there are a lot of us, and you can’t afford to ignore us.”

Honestly you kinda just sound racist.

Like any other seasoning, MSG has its uses. I wouldn’t stock a spice cabinet without it.

Infixes are present in many languages, although English tends to use them mainly for expletives. Another example would be: “Leave me a-fucking-lone!”

Under different circumstances, I think it could be really great. Canada is more liberal than the US, so more blue states would be nice.

Lenin was not wealthy. Stalin was not wealthy. Despite the many failings of the USSR, let us not forget that compared to life under the Tzars it was a smashing success.

And it did put power in the hands of people who weren’t born to privilege.

Right? We don’t have nice things because we put up with bull crap.

So, uh, as someone who’s only ever read it and not heard it… how do you say it?

It’s how we’re conditioned to behave by society from birth. Break the rules and you get punished.
