Eating is a very social thing. You go out to dinner. You sit around and everybody's eating. But when you think about it, it's really a personal thing. Everybody's seeing it. The chewing. I think going to the bathroom would be more of a social thing. Everybody's sitting around in toilets. That would be more of a social thing. People are happy.
@MattWalshBlog It's because they're humanists, which you aren't, and oppose, but if you admit it's not synonymous with amorality, think about how it applies to this issue.
A weird thing is that whenever I post criticism of AI, the majority of the people agreeing with me seem to be leftists. It’s pretty much the only position I hold that seems to be more popular with the left than the right. It should be the opposite. My whole point about AI (especially AI in creative fields) is that it isn’t human, it doesn’t have a soul, and we cannot surrender our society to an unhuman soulless algorithm even if it makes our lives easier in some ways. It’s very strange that an argument predicated on the existence of the soul resonates with the left while conservatives tend to scoff at it.
@VirgilWalkerOMA Ah, that's nothing. In the decades following World War II, Americans continued to elect white guys, even though that's what Hitler was.
The city that watched its towers fall on 9/11, attacked by men who hated America and glorified death, voted for this.
Memories fade quickly.
The city that stood as a symbol of American confidence now flirts with the ideas that undermine it.
@HiddenYorkshire It's the way our brains process vision. First priority is spotting anything that even might be another person, shadows in bushes, any vertical shape of the right height in the distance, etc.
ANOTHER THING I HATE is the idea that mermaids originated from sailors mistaking seals for women. I think people are a lot more complex than that. Can a seal look like a woman? Sure. But these are people who could navigate across oceans by the stars. They weren't stupid.
With President Trump’s endorsement, world heavyweight champion and co-creator of YouTube Jake Paul will be the future face of MAGA, as he has the suave presence of JFK with the fighting spirit Smokin Joe Ali.
jobs after singularity:
- stripping copper wire out of houses
- stripping copper wire out of robots
- cooking meth
- selling meth
- making a robot that cooks and sells meth, later you attack the robot and strip its copper wire out
- attempting to smoke copper wire
@TheRealThelmaJ1 I think that's supposed to be mildly embarrassed humility, undermined by the fact that she obviously deliberately started doing it after momentarily forgetting she was supposed to.
