Part of me wishes they didn’t, part of me wonders who would use his martyrdom to do even worse.

Because it’s easy? Who did it because it’s easy? Fucking writing on the street is easy but there’s no point, how does that make news? When the goal is awareness, how do you get it except by pissing off sensitive shits like yourself? Being aware of the problem is the first step. Having a wrong opinion about it is on them, they should look more into it but the first step is awareness.

But hey, you wouldn’t say that about BLM would you? That burning the cities and breaking into shops would “make people hate you and actively work against your goals.” would you? Of course not.

Ask Just Stop Oil whose attention they get for throwing shit on the Mona Lisa. Are you more aware? Stonehenge. Are you more aware? Private planes. Are you more aware? The audience is everyone who doesn’t give a shit about the protests but instead pearl clutches over the covers of books getting some paint on them. You. You’re the audience because now you’re talking about it and whoever you tell. They’re not targeting book readers, they’re spreading a message.

Stop fucking killing children.

What’s the best possible justification for vandalizing a library?

Dead children who will never grow up to learn to read. When what you’re doing isn’t working, you have to expand the discontent. The protestors of BLM and Antifa burned buildings down, yet who asks for the justification? Is vandalism not the answer to bring awareness to the slaughter of marginalized and silenced groups, or is it only acceptable when it’s closer to home?

I don’t give a shit if a hundred libraries burn to save the lives of even ten children. The dead cannot learn from their pages.

Yet we haven’t even found other planets with complex dumb life, much less ones with intelligence, communicative life. Nothing like what we have on Earth, not even close. Either space is too big or we’re past the filter.

Hard to determine with what we know. We haven’t met any other intelligent species which suggests we’ve passed the filter. Yet, making that conclusion before knowing there are no others to meet is too presumptuous. But, if I were to guess, I’d think the filter is adaptability.

We’re superior to animals for being able to use tools, live in radically different climates, and shape every spot on earth into a livable climate. Even on Mars, the moon, and space. How else would a species venture through space if they can’t adapt?

That might be too general a concept for the question though.

Every day I wake up I gamble if I’ll enjoy it or not.

Politics are dumb but very, very important. I’m exhausted, but I can’t let that stop me.

The best way to deal with imposter syndrome is to remember what got you here. All the things you do and did that other people can’t or aren’t willing to do.

I know a girl who just left her boyfriend because he didn’t show affection, didn’t try on dates, and just stopped trying altogether. Imagine the average person, then 50% of them being worse than that. Surely we can convince ourselves we’re above average if only slightly.

I’m convinced Israel could whip out the nukes and Biden would still find a way to defend it.

Terror-aid is not to be confused with Kool-aid!

I think they call that projection

The mere existence of the things I linked you is pretty overwhelming evidence. Feel free to refute it at your leisure.

And I explained to you that these models aren’t incapable of learning, they’re given artificial restrictions not to in order to prevent what I linked from happening. They don’t learn to preserve the initial experience but are the exact same kind of AI. Generative.

About which part? The part that they can remember and expand their training data to new interactions but often become corrupted by them so much so that the original intent behind the AI is irreversibly altered? That’s been around for about a decade. How about the fact they’re “not faking it” because the added capacity to compute and generate the new content has to have sophisticated plans just to continue running in a timely manner?

I’d love to know which part you took issue with but you seemingly took my advice to shut the fuck up and I do profoundly appreciate it.

… No. They’re instanced so that when a new person interacts with them, they don’t have the memories of interacting with the person before them. A clean slate, using only the training data in the form the developers want it to. It’s still AI, it’s just not your girlfriend. The fact you don’t realize that they do and can learn after their training data proves people just hate what they don’t understand. I get it, most people don’t even know the difference between a neural network and AI because who has the time for that? But if you just sit here and go “nuh uh they’re faking it” rather than push people and yourself to learn more, I invite you, cordially, to shut the fuck up.

Dipshits giving their opinions as fact is a scourge with no cure.

The quests let me fulfill the “complete list” part of my brain that gives me dopamine. The story is… A little subpar but the content is Fallout 4: Lite. Met a few chill people so for what I got it for, it’s alright.

Full price? No shot.

Which is why I stopped. Fallout 76 was like $8. It’s actually not too bad. Now.

The first step in exceeding any limit is to realize there is one.

Attempted in the name of greed, reversed in the name of greed.

Corporations are the answer to “what will make the most amount of money?”

The only thing they learned, for the next week, is that a healthy playerbase is more profitable than an exclusive one.
