Agreed, I modern MMOs feel like they’re designed around a fast track to max level which leaves the game seeming more like a MOBA with a grind gate. We’ve completely lost the journey in favour of rushing to the destination.

Now at the same time runescape was grindy as fuck in a very unfun way but with all our modern advances surely we can make a progression that is long while having moment to moment gameplay thats fun in its own right? Warframe and Atlyss both manage this (though Atlyss is fairly short the gameplay would be fun even if xp requirements scaled 10 fold)

Well… so do people and since AI is trained on human data that tracks? For the same reason AI likely overestimates its own intelligence.

You can find cobalt almost anywhere its just really bad for people/the environment/living things in general to mine/refine so it gets sourced from places with regimes that don’t value human life. (This goes for most rare earths.)

I feel like we need a 2020s razor or something. If the degree of nihilism is greater than the degree of absurdity then its probably true.

Still to optimistic.

You’ll be happy to rent the megacorporation owned and configured remote interface for the corporate remote computing server which you will also happily pay a subscription to access wether you like it or not.

He did also do some stories about ‘fixing’ the laws but in every case that resulted in either limiting the robots capabilities in a restricting way or requiring them to have more power over people in ways that could be harmful to humanites self autonomy in the longrun.

True but crustaceans are pretty brutal and there are plenty of animals that don’t wait until their prey is dead to start eating (Coconut crabs tick all those boxes). Boiling to death is defintely fucked up though.

Yeh, even carriers are considered potentially outdated by some military planners should the US ever face an opponent that can actually fight back.

I feel like all systems lead to fascism, its the ground state everything decays too and needs to be revived from. Communism decays almost immediately, capitalism takes longer, social democracies take even longer but can have their decay easily catalyzed by nearby fascist regimes.

Honestly letting the US get a taste of expantionism seems incredibly dangerous, if it comes down to a shooting war over greenland we should cover that shit in so many landmines that they make up a higher a higher percentage of the top soil than actual soil.

Except in the UK for some reason where you can email and message them for months and pay your own damn return shipping and get fucked about and never recieve a refund.

I opened this in a a couple of text editors on the off chance, unfortunately its just a black rectangle graphic with no text to be recovered.

I think you mean ten billiong from the public via the BBC in exchange for literally nothing because the man is a master of folding while getting nothing in return.

Isn’t proton decay unproven so far? we have some hyopthetical mechanisms but the universe hasn’t even existed for long enough to run an experiment on it.

Yeh and 99.5% of them have since passed away, all that’s left is grift riding on the coat tails of stolen valor.

This is the frog answer over there.

Guess its time for my ass to wait for death then because our leaders will 100% sell their countries for a nice villa somewhere.

Except matter IS fixed relative to other matter its how geasutres vaguely at all solids/liquids/most gasses works. The space the line is in would stretch, which would stretch the line, and then the line would contract again due to the bonds between its atoms producing tension. Of course since expansion is continuous eventually the line would snap, or if expansion suddenly became linear then the tension would reach an equilibrium and thus you couldn’t extract energy from it.

Isn’t dead children like the #1 totally acceptable sacrifice in the US at this point?

Theres a proposal for one in Scotland that will use up as much electricity as the whole country combined (Except during winter where peak load is a whopping 1/3 higher than the proposed data centre.
