What about this clusterfuck gives you the impression that this will improve the game beyond where it’s already at?

Stated with so much authority, and “blood, gore, injury” etc aren’t even included. What a bloody idiot.

It’s from fucking 2013 and they saw this happening.

I mean, it’s just an extrapolation of the human condition. That hasn’t really changed much in the last thousand years, let alone in the last ten. The thing with all this “clairvoyant” sci-fi that people always cite is that the sci-fi is always less about the actual technology and more about putting normal human characters in potential future scenarios and writing them realistically using the current understanding of human disposition. Given that, it’s not really surprising to see real humans mirroring fictional humans (from good fiction) in similar situations. Disappointing maybe, but not surprising.

Not sure what has you unable and unwilling to believe that 1) people exist that think differently from you and 2) people can and do have fun without money, but I hope you’re at some point able to add some sympathy along with a less insular understanding of others to your world view.

Lol, wtf is this comment? If my family were visiting me, my intention is to be enjoying time with them, not worrying about the “reduced list of activities”. I’d do whatever even if they were absolutely penniless.

So yes, they’re inconsiderate. And so are you.

Now you get to learn about the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon ;)

Tangent: I watched the second movie for the first time this year. It was…not good. I knew it took a hard turn from the first movie, but I still expected it to at least be a decent action movie, ya know? Oh well. Looking at the director’s other work, I’m not expecting this to be much better.

Man, I feel for them, but this is likely for the best. What they were doing wasn’t healthy at all. Creating a facsimile of a loved one to “keep them alive” will deny the grieving person the ability to actually deal with their grief, and also presents the all-but-certain eventuality of the facsimile failing or being lost, creating an entirely new sense of loss. Not to even get into the weird, fucked up relationship that will likely develop as the person warps their life around it, and the effect on their memories it would have.

I really sympathize with anyone dealing with that level of grief, and I do understand the appeal of it, but seriously, this sort of thing is just about the worst thing anyone can do to deal with that grief.

*And all that before even touching on what a terrible idea it is to pour this kind of personal information and attachment into the information sponge of big tech. So yeah, just a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad idea all around.

You can tell they earned their PhD.

The AI in Her was actually AI - a full person in most respects. That’s not what’s happening now.

Jfc, llm’s can’t “think about revolutionary ideas”. It’s a word generator. It’s not going to suddenly become sentient and “revolt”.

Or a basic calculator, apparently.

Being the only non-interesting thing is pretty interesting.

…what? No. It as nothing to do with jazz or “being afraid” of it. It’s a continuation of the slave trade, predating jazz by over a century.

I’m not saying he’s “brilliantly” obfuscating his intent. For one, it’s blatantly obvious. Second, it doesn’t take intelligence to do what he’s doing. Third, my original point is that everyone from media to government officials are clearly in denial about what’s obviously happening, and are constantly downplaying the seriousness of his actions by attributing them solely to incompetence. There’s no chance of countering somebody if you can’t accept the reality of what they’re doing.

At this point, I assume only future historians will have the wherewithal to actually point out the intent behind it all.

When is it going to stop being “He’s so incompetent, it’s like he’s doing it on purpose!” and start being “Oh, he’s doing this on purpose…”? This has been obvious for so long now.

It doesn’t say “greet”. It says “listen for the latchkey and meet him on the threshold”. That’s demented. And I already agreed with bizarroland, so not really sure what your point is here.
