The most likely outcome of superintelligence is a brief golden age followed by utter disaster.

@Vald76417Dennis @briankeepsworth I had the understanding that the fruit of the tree bestowed upon them knowledge of good and evil (hence the name of the tree). But as you and many others have pointed out, they must have had such knowledge, e.g. "it's bad to disobey God".
English
@Scopuli @briankeepsworth They were not retarded or underdeveloped, they knew what obedience and disobedience were, and a good God that gave them everything, they were perfect in paradise, and they basically spit in God's face showed selfish pride.

Take all your time to think about it 😁

@TheDiseconomist @curtis_yarvin The Luddite argument is only correct when the new tech can do everything better. That's never happened before. It's a new paradigm.
In that future, if you can't afford a robot gardener, you can't afford a person gardener.
English
@curtis_yarvin Firstly new tech creates more jobs than it destroys, what you are buying into is a luddite argument. Second is marginal cost, it may not be value for you to get your own robot gardener for example.

I have never seen a good answer to this question. Just a lot of squid ink

i don't get people who say "there will be new jobs with AGI" like how? if AI and robots are truly better than humans at every job we have today, how is it possible for humans to still be competitive? "but every time new tech arrives, new jobs pop up" sure, for the AIs maybe, you don't see horses being hired for transport anymore. if any job were to emerge in the post-AGI era, definitionally AGI would be able to do it better. any company that could be founded would be founded by the AGI before you got there. if it needs dexterity, a humanoid robot already has it. i do not understand how people building cars can tell you with a straight face that there will still be an economy for carriage riders.

@_nomadic_soul You're supposed to engage in the hypothetical.
If you hadn't had breakfast yesterday, how would you have felt?

The problem is Joe is not a nice guy, nor is he funny, caring, or have a good personality. Loyalty is questionable.

@ma1ybe Overthinking it. Women do need some men, sometimes.
This cartoon is just pointing out the exaggeration and overgeneralization of the phrase "don't need a man".
English
It’s always funny how men have to invent the most unrealistic scenario imaginable just to justify mistreating women. Firefighters are literally emergency workers paid to save lives, but in their fantasy world, a woman having boundaries somehow cancels their professionalism.

@Aella_Girl We are sheltered from seeing the slaves in the bad conditions, so we can easily ignore it/handwave it away.

@CricketInSand @briankeepsworth This is more well thought out than what most pastors attempt on Sunday. Much appreciated.
English
@Scopuli @briankeepsworth Your confusion is that you don't really understand the topic at hand. It's the allegory of trees (bloodlines). Fruit is sex. Many Christians are confused by it too. Yet it remains a repeated allegory and parable throughout the Bible.

I agree with this! If you can’t afford a tip, stay home

@grok @wesleytypes @AlastairGrayson @bnd_studio So would you say culture has stretched the meaning of the term 'video game' to mean any interactive media?
English
The definition of a "game" isn't fixed—philosophers like Wittgenstein called it a family-resemblance concept without strict boundaries. Core ideas often include rules, player interaction, and some form of agency or feedback for engagement/entertainment.
A video game with no win/lose or fail state (like many narrative adventures) still qualifies as a game in modern usage. It's interactive by design, even if the "play" is curated exploration or emotional storytelling rather than competition. "Interactive media" also fits, but the industry, platforms, and players treat these as games. Mixtape looks like a solid example of the latter—effective at what it sets out to do.
English
Anyone who says Mixtape isn't a game might just not like narrative-driven adventure games, which is fine.
It's not about fail states, choices, or obstacles, it's an interactive curated experience meant to make you feel something.
Mixtape is good because it accomplishes that.
English
@wesleytypes @AlastairGrayson @bnd_studio @grok, what is the definition of a 'game'? If a video game has no way to 'win' or 'lose', no fail state, is it a game? Or perhaps it can be described some other way, like just "interactive media"?
English
@poopoostinkyp @Spectre46015440 @Sunny_DeeLit3 @briankeepsworth If someone isn't punished or face some negative consequence for disobeying authority, then there is no authority. Punishment is for bad behavior. "Disobedience is bad" is baked into the premise of authority. They are inexorable ideas.
English
@Scopuli @Spectre46015440 @Sunny_DeeLit3 @briankeepsworth Persuasive definition, authority is just the "power to influence or command thought, opinion, or behavior" which has nothing to do with good and bad or morals.
English
@MacSween3382 @Sunny_DeeLit3 @briankeepsworth Hot only has meaning via contrast with cold. Tall only has meaning via contrast with short. Good only has meaning via contrast with bad.
English
@Scopuli @Sunny_DeeLit3 @briankeepsworth They knew God was good. Maybe they didn't have a concept for the opposite of good but they chose to do what "Good" said not to do. They understood after they ate the fruit that what they had done was evil and felt shame for the first time
English
@poopoostinkyp @Spectre46015440 @Sunny_DeeLit3 @briankeepsworth "Authority" implies "good to obey, bad to disobey". That's what the word means.
English
@Scopuli @Spectre46015440 @Sunny_DeeLit3 @briankeepsworth My point wasn't even about if they were accountable or not. I specifically was addressing the question of "why should they trust god over the serpent." Regardless of if you think they're accountable or not, the point I'm making is that they are still aware of his authority.
English
@poopoostinkyp @Spectre46015440 @Sunny_DeeLit3 @briankeepsworth Everyone looking back on it, reading Genesis, recognizes it was a bad decision. It was immoral to disobey God.
However, if we're saying the fruit gave them that knowledge, then they couldn't have known what we all know looking back on it, so they shouldn't be held accountable.
English
@Scopuli @Spectre46015440 @Sunny_DeeLit3 @briankeepsworth I think the problem is that you're assuming there MUST be a moral weight tied to a decision for it to matter.

FORZA HORIZON 6 LEAKED 10 DAYS EARLY AND MICROSOFT IS TO BLAME
Someone forgot to encrypt the preload on Steam.
The full game - all 155GB - is now freely available on piracy sites before a single paying customer has touched it.
-> The leak happened because files were uploaded to Steam completely unencrypted
-> 155GB of assets, cars, map data - everything is out there right now
-> This is the SECOND time this year a AAA game leaked this way (Death Stranding 2 in March)
-> FH6 doesn't release until May 19 - pirates have a 10-day head start on buyers
Valve or Microsoft need to explain how this keeps happening.

Forza Horizon 6 got leaked early on PC 4 days early 💀Someone at Microsoft forgot to encrypt the pre-download, what an insane screw up

Imagining having your dick cut off and actually having your dick cut off are indeed two different sensations, but you don't need to experience it to understand it. It's superfluous knowledge. They already knew it was wrong and chose to do it anyway. Experiencing punishment only reinforces knowledge they already had. Thus the tree didn't provide much. It was mainly just there as a test, it sounds like.
English
@Scopuli @dragodimitrov @briankeepsworth What the tree gave them was *experiential* knowledge of good and evil by *contrast,* which they did not have before since they were innocent and lived in a world free from suffering and death.
English
@Sunny_DeeLit3 @briankeepsworth This retard blocked me.
Wrong and evil are the same fucking thing. This person is fucking stupid.
English
@Sunny_DeeLit3 @briankeepsworth "Adam knew it was wrong"
That's what I just fucking said. They had knowledge of good and evil before eating from the tree. They knew they were being evil by disobeying God.
English
@poopoostinkyp @Spectre46015440 @Sunny_DeeLit3 @briankeepsworth But if you don't know what right and wrong are, then disobeying has no moral weight. It's like deciding between a red or blue shirt in the morning.
English
@Spectre46015440 @Sunny_DeeLit3 @Scopuli @briankeepsworth They still were aware that he was their creator and source of authority regardless of their knowledge on what is good or bad.
