Of course. But then the issue is not AI is it? It’s like always capitalism. Like the first ever AI research and development happened in the USSR. They hoped that by striving to create intelligence/consciousness we would learn more about ourselves and what it even means to be intelligent and conscious.
AI is not evil, it’s not bad or destroying the world. Capitalism is destroying the world.
The penultimate one makes no sense though. Also, most of the items in your list are not really about AI, they are about capitalism.
Lots of materialist reductionism in this thread. Funny that you guys consider yourselves super “scientifically minded” but your beliefs are purely faith-based and contradict what most actual researchers on the field think. You’ll be very hard pressed to find a scientist studying consciousness that believes it’s purely a mechanistic and chemical process fully localized on the brain.
What do you mean by “would not want to have”? Why would we want to have them?
Ah my bad didn’t see the date on it 😬
What the hell, even Spain and Ireland? Why…? I mean seems like it might’ve been an EU coordinated vote. But still wth Spain and Ireland. You’re supposed to be the not so shit ones.
The contiguous 48 states in the US cover a total of ~8 million square kilometers. Europe covers a total of ~10 million square kilometers. China covers a total of ~9 million square kilometers.
So… yeah…
Oh yeah “we’re evil so we’re gonna house people… to exploit them even harder than the capitalist countries who let their people rot on the streets!”
Dude that is such a lie though. They did fix homelessness.
Post-Soviet countries all still have the highest rates of homeownership in the world. That doesn’t happen with “fake statistics”.
They didn’t arrest you if you were homeless or unemployed. They found you a job.
They arrested you if you refused to work, yes. And that happened mostly around WW2, for obvious reasons. Similar things happened in the UK, Germany, France etc etc etc.
Also most people who used to live in the USSR say it took people months to find a house, not years. It was very bureaucratic yes, but not infinitely more than any large nation. Their main issue was ossification of the government.
And you definitely didn’t need a job to get a house. The USSR sponsored dozens of thousands of students from the third and second world to study in the USSR, with free housing, education, food etc etc.
People were heavily incentivized to study for as long as possible. Aka, not work.
Like bro the apartments were built to house people. How is “ending homelessness” not a part of that?
This view is ridiculous, that the USSR only ever did things for the people because they were secretly evil and actually just wanted to exploit people even harder than the capitalist countries that didn’t do anything for their people.
“Communists could never actually want to help people, they are shifty evil people full of guile!”
Like you say they built the apartments to house workers? Why did they invest so heavily in industry? How did that personally benefit the people in charge? Couldn’t it be that having productive industry is the most major part of having a prosperous society, which allows people to have good fulfilling lives?
No way imagine your boss being an LLM 😭 truly nightmare fuel
I have a hard time freely forming realistic images in my head. Like if I TRY to picture an apple, I just get the vibes of an apple but no image.
But I did yoga some years ago. We did 15 min of breathing exercises, 45 min of actual physical practice (vinyasa), then 30 min of guided meditation. The whole point of the class was the meditation really, everything before that was preparing to meditate.
Anyways, first time I went, I did the breathing, did the “flows”, then we laid down to meditate. The instructor guided us through this meditation, about being in an open field, and riding a horse, and feeling the wind on your face the horse underneath you, and dude… I could picture it all like it was real life. I could see in full 4k 3D. So much I started to feel like I was there, I could actually feel the wind the horse. See the bright sun. I actually cried a little.
So yeah I think with the right guidance you could probably see in your mind like it was real life.
Only people with the souls of warlocks get panic attacks or psychotic breaks when smoking weed.
Those of pure soul smoke without issues forever.
(people never saw the meme I guess)
New research says birds have grammar and you’re still talking like it’s the 20th century. Get on with the times! Many animals are practically identical to us in capability. We’re just better at some of the stuff we all can do.
I think we just have very different ideas of what makes a game a “completely different game”. It seems to you all remasters are completely different games, and I just wholeheartedly disagree.
So Skyrim on Switch is not the same game as Skyrim on PC…?
Or even more obviously, Oblivion Remastered on the PC vs. Oblivion on the Xbox 360.
They are but they aren’t, and it seems mostly pedantic to hammer on that.
Hard to choose to be honest… but Avatar for sure. And maybe Powerpuff Girls? Kenan & Kel? Mythbusters (if it counts?)?
Speaking about these things so* publicly and with so little regard to safety is only possible because they are part of the system’s inner core.
If they were leftists they would be raided and “suicided” much earlier. They would have to resort to cryptic secretive messages passed by idk rats, even to discuss dinner plans.
But they are fascists.
Why are people pretending all those issue appeared with AI? You think the environment would be less fucked without AI? Artists? Education?
It’s like people complaining about smartphones making kids depressed. Like growing up during an apocalypse wouldn’t be the main cause? Perhaps?
These are the results of the long sharp road of capitalism. With or without “AI” we would be fucked.
