Try to make the world a better place for my having existed. I’m not doing too well, but I’m trying.

The left panel is my wife for about 4 days a month. The right panel is my psyche while my body tries to soothe her

Im always watching the lamps just in case.

Feels like we’ve landed in an episode of Brasseye

My biggest beef with this is that I’m never going to believe a dog can skateboard again

My point was more “if we cant even prove that each other are sentient, how can we possibly prove that a computer cant be?”.

In that case its not being thrown out simply because its not usb c, its being thrown out because they lost/damaged/donthaveforwhateverreason the actual power supply.

Ive got a whole range of useless electric stuff that I don’t have the power supply for but cant bring myself to throw away

When youre the only kid in class who knew how to play with poke on cards

Can you prove it to anyone?

Also even if it does experience and feel and has awareness and all that jazz, why do I want that? The I that is me is still going to face The Reaper, which is the only real reason to want immortality.

I dont think we can currently prove that anyone other than ourselves are even conscious. As far as I know I’m the only one. The people around me look and act and appear conscious, but I’ll never know.

I dont want to be that guy, but the magic wand in photoshop has also lowered the skill. Its skills fade all the way to the top, yet we keep getting better results.

The responses ive gotten here have been surprising, and IMO a little short sighted. My problem with AI is largely ethical and “spiritual”, in that its trained on people’s work and is replacing them slowly but surely, and that it will lack the inherent creative “soul” that a human brings.

Compare what AI can do today with what it could do 10 years ago. What will it be capable of in another 10 years? Everybody says “lol never replace humans never because its shit” but I suspect different. They said they couldnt beat us at chess. They said they could never realistically pass for human. They said they’d never make music. They said they’d never be able to make art.

In my mind, the question shouldnt be “is it good enough” because it will be one day. The question should be “are you going to put up with this shit, and if so, to what degree”. Thats why I tried to differentiate between art/creativity and technical ability.

Also why the hell is this a thing? Those ads are showing gameplay, it would be so much easier to make that game and then take a video of it for the advert than to just make an animation of it. So in my mind the game exists. Why is it just Mafia Wars reskinned every fucking time?

Me too from this moment on. You’ve described it perfectly.

Theres a lot of psychology that goes into schedules like that that I feel goes (deliberately?) Underresearched/underrepresented or something.

When I was working 5 days 8 hour shifts with weekends off, I was phoning in sick every time I could afford it, and would refuse Saturday shifts every time unless I was desperate for the money.

When I was working 3 on 3 off 12 hour shifts, I often ended up working 21 days straight accepting all the overtime. The fact that the next “weekend” was never more than 3 days away really made the work tolerable.

Should have told him that Disney started sucking after the original trilogy. Watch him have a stroke.

I mean yeah if no parts of a game work then it will suck. Good point.

Im not sure ill be able to explain myself clearly enough for you to understand

Not necessarily, its just a tool like anything else. Just depends how much its been used and how effectively. I havent been on steam in a long time to see this label popup in the wild, but I suspect it’ll need more nuance to be effective.

“I used AI to write the whole story and do all the voice acting” is gonna suck.

“I used AI to help with the scripting because I suck at coding” might be the greatest game ever just from an individual who doesnt have the skills themselves.

Shocking new informartion shows that russia had their fingers crossed behind their backs at the time the deal was made.
