If only. The past couple jobs I’ve had, everyone acts as if they have multiple jobs. It’s a rare privilege to be focused on a few responsibilities only.

The bug fixes themselves can have massive cognitive overhead. I’ve spent hours thinking about a problem to make a very small change. It takes focus to fix complex problems correctly.

It’s like AI wrote it.

Oracle would like to know your location, but seriously they would so they can throw lawyers at you.

DnD sorcerer is not impressed.

Indoor HOA!

Automation-prone fields like writing, software, and app development saw a 21% decrease in job listings

Maybe, but hard disagree that software is being automated away.

It’s the concentration of money and its interests. It corrupts purpose.

Won’t predators just use something else such as readily available open source software, reducing this legislation to a mass surveillance bill to spy on and control regular citizens?

How isn’t this anything more than a license to invade your privacy on this weak-ass premise that maybe you’re a criminal and stupid enough to use Facebook Messenger (or similar)?

I click through or I just leave if I can’t.

I’m sorry, but I use a network-wide ad blocker and ads are just not worth it. If I really care about the website I support it directly through donation.

My WebCam has such low resolution I could argue that that’s anybody in the picture. Go ahead.

Of all the buildings you could’ve randomly selected, this one is more pleasing than average.

I think you’re missing the last step where you put the hotdogs inside. Then you will not be empty.

Meant, in this context, refers to the conditions that humans have faced over a long period of time and may be more suited to coping with from a survival point of view. I’m an atheist, so I find it strange that you chose to read my comment as highlighting intentional design. Certainly, AI has existed for a much shorter time than the phenomenon on a human encountering the death of a loved one. Indeed, death has been quite a common theme throughout history, and the tools and support available to cope with it and relate to other human experiences far exceed those for coping with the potential issues that come with AI.

I think one can absolutely speak of needs and adaptation for something as common a human experience as death. If you find something belittling about that opinion, I’m not sure how to address you further. I may simply have to be wrong.

Itchy bones

I had this conversation with my wife once. I let her know that it is my advance wish that you must allow me to complete the cycle of life. Anything else, any reconstruction of me that technology allows, is to me, an abomination. Keep the pictures, keep the memories, but don’t keep me here when I am gone.

I refrain from judging the decisions of others where possible, but this is my personal wish.

I remain optimistic. Instances should align with the views of a user, and I believe in the long-term people will sort themselves onto instances to make your blocking easier.

I don’t believe humans are meant to manage loss in this way — stretching out an imitation of our loved one. As painful as it is, I personally believe humans need to say goodbye. I feel this gets in the way of feeling and truly accepting the loss so that a person can move forward.

Loss is truly heavy, but I do not believe this is better or healthy.

Link so I can sign?

But they’re already drones.

This is a means for government to downplay the mounting evidence of fake birds. Now they can say “oh that one was a drone, but the rest are real you just happened to find the one done!”
