low empathy is a cognitive issue one cannot help
Nope, even without ASPD empathy is a learned skill that has to be developed. And someone with a totally broken oxytocin system can still conciously be empathetic with effort. I literally do it every day.
I do not need empathy to care for people.
Literally what empathy means…
Jokes on them, I was wasting my money on xbox’s subscription service at the time and didn’t have to buy it…
No…
The first amendment protects against censorship by the American government, ideally at least.
Private companies can and do censor shit constantly, and that is definitely censorship.
You’ve just seen people repeat it about the first amendment, didn’t understand it, and are attempting and failing to regurgitate it
And if people see you using it wrong, they’ll start off from an even worse position.
All you’re doing is exacerbating the problem you think your fixing.
AI is the logical conclusion to McKinsey analysts…
Why pay a “coming soon ceo” to tell you to fuck over workers and raise CEO pay when you can program a computer to do it?
If it doesn’t tell them what they want to hear, it means it needs “tweaked” if it tells them their pre-existing opinion is right, then it’s not their idea anymore and the AI is to blame when it backfires.
it would have to be some serious quality of life changes to make me shell out for it again.
Eh, I first bought it 20 years ago, and have bought it a couple times since on different platforms.
If it’s $30 bucks I’m buying it regardless. Maybe not right at first, but eventually I will.
That’s also why I don’t think any game shouldnt be able to run “maxxed out” on release. A great game people are still gonna want to run it a decade later. It doesn’t hurt anyone if the dial turns to 11 if 10 is the same setting it’s always been.
So make games that in a decade still look decent on settings no one could enable all at once on release. It doesn’t change the quality on release, just gives it legs to look good longer.
Oblivion was alright, but I remember seeing most players topped out at like 5 hours played.
It was fun to see it all again, but the novelty wore off quick…
This tho, I could see sinking 10s likely 100s if hours into.
4 years newer doesn’t sound like much these days, but 2002 to 2006 was a huge jump. NV has a much better starting point for an update, and could feel like a truly modern game that pulls people in without having to drastically change the experience.
Plus the desert setting makes it easy to hide graphical shortcomings. So even after cranking the resolution up, it’s not gonna take a lot more resources, there’s plenty of room to improve other stuff too.
Yes…
This is an incredibly low empathy question.
Things that you’re not aware of still matter.
And this should be obvious, but a woman is a human, if she was really liberated from something, she would be aware of it. There is literally always an observer unless you’re so far gone you really don’t think a woman counts…
If that was a revolt then literally everything is a revolt, so why did you use a word that you believe to be meaningless and capitalize it like trump does?
No it wasn’t…
America was “founded” because the people who got rich early from none forcement of smuggling didn’t want to just stand by while the English government started to finally collect on due taxes.
It’s fucking crazy people still believe the shit we learned in elementary school.
It was “new money” revolting against “old money” and they only won because the French royal family wouldn’t too piss off the English royal so much it cost them their heads.
And even then he could do that with any food place that doesn’t display his name.
This has been happening since the 80s…
Now it’s completely unavoidable, unless it’s someone close to you that manages to do it to the pile at the last second.
Like, I’m not saying trump is rational, I’m explaining his irrational logic for why he got used to it.
Anywhere in the country and most of the planet, someone can go buy $200 worth of McDonald’s and delivery it in under an hour. It’s what he’s used to
It’s because he’s paranoid about being poisoned…
Long before he was president he’d send people “undercover” to buy large amounts of fast food, then he’d eat a random portion. I suspect he even has others eat from the total first. That’s why he always serves to cold to sports teams and the like. He’s used to the crazy delays it comes with, he’s likely never had it fresh.
It’s also why he’s so fat. If everytime you ate it was from a pile of cold fast food and even after full there’s a pile left, anyone would over eat and become as obese as trump. That would take a godawful amount of willpower to resist, but constantly caving to cravings would fundamentally rewire your brain.
The “panda effect”!
Does anyone else remember when pandas were white with black spots?! We jumped realities!
/s
I’d say uniqueness more.
If one species of 47 different kind of European Swallows go extinct, it’s just not a big deal because the niche will be refilled in a few generations and in a decade they’d be pretty much the same as the OG.
If something like a platypus was threatened with extinction, a lot more people would care, because what the actual fuck is a platypus?!
That weird fuck survived when everything tangentially related to it except one animal half a world away that looks nothing like it died off long ago.
That shit we need to protect. And I’d go farther and say we should encourage diversification of those species so an entire branch of our planets genetic history is pruned.
Like those tiny pools of water that have been separated from all other life for millenia, it’s not enough to protect those organisms and their tiny natural habitats. We should be encouraging their growth and evolution, because absolutely nothing else would increase our planets genetic diversity as much as those weird living fossils.
it seems likely some of them would be space travelors by now.
You just said:
There are billions of areas in the universe that are millions of years older than us
And:
amount we’ve advanced in the last 125 years
Logically, you understand that with two vastly different times scales over that much distance…
The chances of overlap is infinitly small?
Maybe they passed by before our solar system even formed. Maybe after our sun burns out they stroll by.
But why would they choose to spend their time wandering around in a spaceship anyways?
Even if they had instant travel making distance and time absolutely meaningless. If life is so plentiful and there’s so many that are that advanced, exponentially more at our level, and innumerable planets supporting more basic forms of life…
Why would they care about us?
We’re one in trillions to them.
Quick edit:
Back to the point, in that scenario we’d never be “no contact” because they wouldn’t care.
Any one planet wouldnt even be a rounding error.
We wouldn’t be one of the few they want to study. We’d be one of a huge number
What?
You’re literally ruling out the most likely scenario:
Life is spread out all over, but even if they knew we were here, they’d never get to us.
Like, there could be a planet on the exact same level as us, thinking the same thing about aliens. But if they’re 1,000 light years away, all the know about Earth is it has water. Something they might not even consider relative in the search for life if they don’t need water.
And even if they wanted to send us a signal and could figure out where to send it, best case scenario we get it in a thousand years and they have to wait at least two for a response they’d have no idea if we’d be capable of sending back.
Even if every planet tried to contact the first 10 planets with life they find, eventually the novelty would wear off and they wouldn’t keep wasting all the resources just to add another tally 2k years from now to the list of planets with life.
Everyone gets hung up on aliens wanting to interact with us, because we want aliens.
If an alien civilization is advanced to know about us, they don’t give a fuck about us. And they wouldn’t, except if they’re planning on such long timelines that their procedure for finding life is to just steer a couple giant asteroids at us.
A civilization capable of noticing us, just wouldn’t have anything to gain from interacting with us.
Deja Vu is a “save error” where we basically skip RAM and throw something straight to the hard drive. So we “remember” as we experience it, but can never get ahead of the present moment to “remember” the future.
Because it’s still just the present. We’re just experiencing a very short term glitch which is relatively normal, or accidentally inhaled a bunch ether or something similar and shits gonna be weird for 2-3 minutes straight before it wears off and the brain recovers.
Like, there’s not just short/long term memory. There’s a bunch of different types, but the “now” experience is it’s own type of memory and last fractions of a second. Break that even momentarily and you experience deja vu because everything just goes straight to the next level of memory. Which is working memory and cover seconds to minutes.
This is actually a serious threat, because AI is so fucking stupid…
It wouldn’t give the most effective plans, it probably won’t even give plans that will “work”…
But it’s gonna recommend shit no one thought of with 100% confidence and convince already brainwashed idiots that crazy shit will work.
Not just ISIS, all our own homegrown brain rot idiots on Twitter using grok too. Stuff that requires no organization or coordination, just random solo idiots.
It’s likely already happening. The AI companies just aren’t admitting it.
Like the guy that blew a cyber truck full of fireworks up in Vegas in front a trump casino, grok would 100% say that’s a world changing plan and would make him an hero.
Because there’s also records of him getting wasted at the palace all day…
You can check out the Wikipedia, I didn’t link it a couple days ago and going off memory
Yeah, like finding out you could didn’t fuck anybody up…
Try “random start” mods.
Instead of taking you thru the opening scenes of a big RPG like Skyrim, it just punts you to some random area so you can immediately start messing around
A lot of games have big scripted events the first couple hours, being able to skip those helps it from feeling repetitive, because that’s the stuff you’ve done ever playthrough you’ve ever started.
