Users aren’t entirely blameless, either. There’s something vicious about replacing a real human being with a totally submissive lust machine.
Early studies suggest narcissism is prevalent among users of this technology. Normalising harmful sexual behaviours such as rape, sadism or paedophilia is bad news for society.
All of this made me think people using these bots were found to be narcissistic in the linked study and seems to connect this with the listed harmful sexual behaviors. Instead, the linked study found that attitudes toward digital immortality (specifically through creation of AI bots that can live on after your death) are linked to narcissistic personality traits. This seems entirely unrelated to the topic and it seems manipulative to throw it in there like this.
Not quite. But it probably also depends on how you play the game to some extent. If you approach it like CoD and let the story take you, you’ll probably have a good experience. If you go in thinking you can figure it out or outsmart it, you probably will and it won’t be as good.
There were rumors that the wealthy wanted Biden out back when people started calling for him to quit. It seems like it probably all traces back to Lina Khan being head of the FTC.
It’s going to be real funny when a bunch of people that don’t care much about tech shrug this off and everyone else ends up having to deal with some massive botnet a few years down the line.
Undermining it is how conservative parties will get rid of it. Keep decreasing funding. Do more with less. Quality drops. Wealthier people start moving to health insurance. Jobs start offering health insurance. Funding decreases further. People start to wonder why it’s even needed.
It’s too bad the websites that do this don’t have to put a label on it in the U.S. Something like “Not for consumption in the E.U.” to make people wonder what’s going on.
I have MAGA family members and it’s not just 1+1=5. It’s a word-vomit tsunami of absolute bullshit. And if you convince them that point 1/367 is not factual, they won’t accept that it disqualifies anything else (including the idea that he never tells lies), and you will have to re-prove that point 1/367 is not factual a few weeks later. It’s exhausting, and I’m fairly sure that is the point (and I’m fairly sure this is also an actual Russian propaganda technique called a “firehose of falsehoods”, regardless of whether it’s being used in that context).
After thinking about it more, I think the main issue I have with it is that it sort of anthropomorphises the AI, which is more of an issue in applications where you’re trying to convince the consumer that the product is actually intelligent. (Edit: in the human sense of intelligence rather than what we’ve seen associated with technology in the past.)
You may be right that people could have a negative view of the word “hallucination”. I don’t personally think of schizophrenia, but I don’t know what the majority think of when they hear the word.
What I don’t like about it is that it makes it sound more benign than it is. Which also points to who decided to use that term - AI promoters/proponents.
Edit: it’s like all of the bills/acts in congress where they name them something like “The Protect Children Online Act” and you ask, “well, what does it do?” And they say something like, “it lets local police read all of your messages so they can look for any dangers to children.”
FM is more affected by physical barriers (buildings, etc.). Range is around 30 miles. AM range is around 100 miles during the day and further at night.
Don’t states with frequent hurricanes still recommend switching to AM in the event of disaster? There are a lot of situations where cell phones or FM may not work, but you could get an AM signal.
I think handsome Senshi has to be Chilchuk by process of elimination. Because Marcille pointed him out so he wasn’t from her mind and Laois picked derpy Senshi as authentic so handsome Senshi wasn’t from his mind either.
I kept trying to think of which character each illusion came from. I can’t narrow down handsome Senshi, and I’m not entirely sure if derpy Laios is from Chilchuk and tall Laios is from Senshi or vice versa. I think Chilchuk probably has more respect for Laios because he’s followed him for a while and he likely appears taller, but I’m not sure why Senshi would think of Laios as derpy. Plus Chilchuk seems like he probably thinks everyone is a little dumb because he takes everything so seriously.
This entire block is baffling to me:

The post you responded to was responding to someone that got in trouble for using a pay phone to call home when school was canceled.
Hey, speak for yourself! Some of us take communion…

I’m in that age group. Kids had vhs and magazines. IMO the faces of death vhs going around was more scarring than any porn.
I had no idea about this. I studied neural networks briefly over 10 years ago, but hadn’t heard the term until the last year or two.
