The general young population uses a fair amount of LLM services, so yes

Sure, but deadlock isn’t exactly late. And if there’s a time when you want to add more developers, then an alpha when the game is still in the early stages is the best time to do so

I mean, they’re not gonna stop developing deadlock once it comes out. It’s likely gonna be a decade long project at least. More hands won’t hurt.

Except you can say this literal exact thing about the opposites too

Should black people have just stayed slaves and not have rights even though “they are absolutely convinced they should have”? Should us queer people never fight back and fight for acceptance? Etc etc.

The actual difference is the arguments for the specific position. What sound arguments are there for racism and slavery? What sound arguments are there for queer-phobia? What sound arguments are there for not following a vegan diet beyond “it tastes good”?

They literally do though? Have you ever seen a chicken farm? Or a mink farm? Or dozens of different examples of factory farming?

A few dead animals don’t matter if you can fit in 20x the amount of chickens in the same space

Where is the border between acceptable and not acceptable lifestyle? The animals can’t consent. If you beat your wife, is that also an individual lifestyle we have to respect? What if you neglect and beat your pets, for a closer example? What if your individual lifestyle is dumping trash into the ocean?

In theory? Yes. That’s the point. All I’m saying is that it’s not literally impossible, why is it so hard to understand?

Well, here we need to specify what “artificial” in this equation means. Because to me it just means “created by humans” (so, not natural processes). It doesn’t say anything about it not being able to be near-identical to natural brains

Yes, absolutely. Because at a minimum we can recreate the human brain, as we know the human brain can exist.

The question wasn’t whether it’s inevitable, but whether it’s possible

And the answer to whether it’s possible is a clear: Yes, because we already have general intelligence

But it’s very much not an inevitability, no. Civilization could always collapse before we get to that point, after all

That the human brain exists is enough evidence that intelligence is possible. An AGI similar to the human brain is then possible at a minimum

Can’t say much more than that for sure, but you have a starting point.

It’s in closed beta right now

Damn, free concert and pizza??? Talk about two in one deal

But you know that if it was a minority or someone on the left, they would have milked that shit until it was desert dry, then try to milk it some more

But instead it was a white guy who seemed to be a republican, or a centrist at best. So, not interesting to talk about

Honestly, I don’t feel like landlords should even exist

Sure, maybe renting can still exist, as long as it’s cheaper and government run or something. I would much much rather give my rent to the government than some rich fuck who literally gets my money for free

“housing market is really hard to fix guys”

Gives tax breaks to landlords

She says this as if the far-right doesn’t constantly belittle, cuss out, diminish, put down, and spread falsehoods about their opponents and minorities

Maybe the Dems will finally learn that listening to their base helps

It was obviously gonna happen sooner or later, tbh I’m surprised it took this long

We do not really pay 35-40% income tax in practice, it’s a progressive tax system

For example, I pay about 25% in tax on my income, which is roughly the median salary
