As an Other Place fan whose experience with trying to befriend Star Trek fans IRL has hit the tragic third - thank you for being reasonable. I’ve met some people pretending that the Other Place is “space wizards for children”, while Star Trek is “real science fiction”. While in fact they’re the same - for most part space magic and for the select few areas, yes, real science fiction.
Is that a Star Trek reference?
Search for Locutus, it’s very similar to what I’ve been imagining, only real (well, not yet, it’s a project).
Not sure I agree about training or walking for 12 hours.
OK, my ability to communicate in my own language as well as others differs with mood.
I meant that an AI is as dangerous as a human is in those kinds of communication it does imitate. Thus it’s not safe exploration, it’s just exploration. And that it’s safe only in regards to some diseases, which was a joke or an irony if you will.
EDIT: Ah, tripper is a loanword for gonorrhea in Russian, I suppose it’s not from English, German likely.
I’ve specifically said “behavior resulting from …”, not lack of sleep itself.
About visceral disgust and hatred - well, I’ve met one girl with weight problems recently. She’s one of the most charming people I’ve met, and attractive too. Before meeting her I (in imagination and first impressions) almost shared that, because I’ve known some unpleasant people with excess weight at school and in my childhood.
Point being, many other traits are met with hatred by some people with pseudonymity. Cowards are like that.
You haven’t read my comment attentively.
Ah, and playing video games 12 hours a day will harm you.
Sexuality is a very important part of human existence and an AI partner can provide not only safe exploration, because safety in sex is not only about avoiding tripper FFS.
It’s not about looks, it’s exactly about health.
You do see people being judged for the behavior resulting from lack of sleep, wrong food, some addictive habits and so on.
This I agree with, but your “in moderation” should be emphasized. Too much sugar - well, it’s obvious. Too much porn - one can really, honestly, seriously, I’m not joking, got serious hormonal and even mental problems.
It can - they may produce long-living tank-solid devices and sell for the price that would make it worth remaining in business.
We can lease them for a fixed amount of time, which would be cheaper. Or we can buy them, but much more expensive. Or, as it already often happens, we can buy them with some contract with a mobile operator attached.
There are lots of business models.
Hate to sound statist, but if you somehow account for externalities here, these can become more common.
Ah, also they may consider producing upgradeable modular things, so that you wouldn’t have to change or recycle the box or the touchscreen, but you could replace the motherboard or the antenna, which are goods that can be sold …
Situation would be better with better school education informing children what a fucking portable computer is and why it’s not cool to buy a new one every two years and why these companies are bullshit.
Now, coming to the bullshit part - the incentive to buy a new thing every could become less if patent and IP laws were relaxed to some Wild West level. There would be plenty of companies and over time those with the business models I describe would gain reputation and faithful customer base, and eventually press out bullshitters.
Appearances are still consistent.
I mean, porn and imagined girlfriends are a problem. A bit like alcohol, sweets, and in general addictive things.
They, eh, allow one to alleviate loneliness and sadness, but not really.
Now fantasy girlfriends are an existential threat to women? If a man wrote about how he has to compete with romance novels and sex toys he would be derided as a fragile loser.
They are a threat to women in that they supposedly make men a bit more likely to become fragile losers. In perception at least, I think in reality such men would become alcoholics or something else instead, or would just develop their imagination.
That too
You are clueless. Stop imagining bullshit for other people, you look like a dramatic hysterical clown. This conversation is not about empathy, it’s about your mind not being sufficiently similar to a chimp’s mind to understand each other (despite appearances).
Also it wasn’t about any woman, it was about genocide, and I’ve used different words for empathy and mercy, because these are different things in my comment.
If you have this little empathy
Nowhere in this thread I’ve said anything which would give you a reason for this conclusion.
So you’ve been caught cheating, fsck off.
EDIT: Ah, and also I’ve got all the bloody world of empathy, but have recently ran out of mercy for those who don’t even pretend at being good people. You have that habit of cheating in common with them.
That’s the point, you can’t ask them, their intelligence is different.
TBF, many dogs quiver when you try to wash them. They are afraid and that’s it. They don’t like that much water, and a bath, etc.
This case it’s different, of course.
Makes sense. You have to be that to become a tech celebrity among elites, competence and intelligence are not things they respect, it’s actually a principal part of their worldview that competence and intelligence are for servants or simpletons, and real apex predator is, well, that kind of hack. They just won’t believe that you are really able to achieve something if you are not.
As if humans treated other humans better when they can.
It’s not horrible, it’s factual. Try changing your diet to include lots of sugar, alcohol and caffeine, and also avoid physical exercise, and you’ll feel that even you are a different creature (feeling much worse at that).
And that’s same old you. Now macaques are another species.
Yes and no, they are behaving like Azeris. This is not acceptable.
