What are some of these “rebuttals”?

WldFyre ,

We kill for survival, you kill for pleasure and ego.

Why do non-vegans always have the stupidest takes wrapped up in some pseudo-intellectual bullshit. You obviously don’t believe that someone killing your houseplant or lawn is as bad as someone killing your dog, so why say something so blatantly untruthful and dumb?

And how are vegans killing for pleasure when they have a more restricted diet than you?

Go out and continue the circle of life in your local Publix, you ferocious lion you!

Six teenagers in court over beheading of French teacher (www.reuters.com)

PARIS, Nov 27 (Reuters) - Six teenagers go on trial behind closed doors on Monday, accused of involvement in the beheading of French history teacher Samuel Paty by a suspected Islamist in 2020 in an attack that struck at the heart of the country’s secular values....

WldFyre ,

His specific personality was being a pedophile.

WldFyre ,

You should read Blindsight by Peter Watts.

Or maybe not idk haha

WldFyre ,

Yeah for sure! On the other hand it being such a dense, philosophical book means it really stands up to and benefits from a re-read! And the audiobook has a great narrator IMO.

WldFyre ,

Oh damn I didn’t know about that! I’ll be reading that this week, thanks for the link!

Echopaxia was definitely different, I wasn’t crazy about it my first read through but it had me shook pretty good my second read through. I highly recommend it!

Is it just me, or has the BS with OpenAI shown that nobody in the AI space actually cares about "safeguarding AGI?"

Money wins, every time. They’re not concerned with accidentally destroying humanity with an out-of-control and dangerous AI who has decided “humans are the problem.” (I mean, that’s a little sci-fi anyway, an AGI couldn’t “infect” the entire internet as it currently exists.)...

WldFyre ,

This leads me to believe that AGI has never been the true commercial goal, but rather an advancement of propaganda media and its creation.

Uh what? Why wouldn’t it be because text/image generation isn’t even on the same plane of difficulty as AGI?

WldFyre ,

Fines should be 10x the damage done

What are your monetary damages for this?

WldFyre ,

Why do you call people “Clyde”? Is that a reference to something?

WldFyre ,

Oh that doesn’t sound bad at all

/s

WldFyre ,

What the fuck are you talking about?

legalizing sex work is just criminalizing sex work with extra steps

So what’s the solution?? You just made random assertions without any sources and didn’t suggest any alternatives. All while skimming over the very real trafficking/coersion problems unique to sex work.

WldFyre ,

Do tell… is this the first time you’ve actually considered what sex workers themselves have to say about (so-called) “legalization?”

The sex workers with those opinions usually are the already more well off workers who perform escort or cam services, and isn’t reflective of the bottom strata of sex worker experiences. It also doesn’t address how more common sex work leads to higher trafficking rates.

trafficking is not unique to sex work in any way, shape, or form.

Lol I’d love any source on this whatsoever. I’m not sure how you defend this line of thought, or why you feel this way. You don’t think human trafficking shares any of the same risk factors or conditions as sex work?

ROFLMAO!

LOLCOPTER

WldFyre ,

Fucking Playstation is not better than Epic with handling exclusives lmfao come on now

WldFyre ,

Nope, they have the moral high ground, like pioneering and perfecting how to market gambling and loot boxes to kids through video games.

Or do we only hate that when EA does it?

WldFyre ,

So Playstation releasing some of their games literally years later as often sub-par ports is better than being able to play a game day 1 native on PC? I’d love to hear to the logic for that lol

WldFyre ,

Lmao

WldFyre ,

Epic also releases their games on PC lol

And they release them day 1, without the multiple year wait from console release, and not as shitty ports. Fuck yes that’s better than PlayStation, it’s a no-brainer.

I’m truly baffled that anyone could have this take seriously. PC =/= Steam.

WldFyre ,

No they release it for their launcher exclusively not for pc

So anything that only releases on Steam is also an exclusive and “not for pc”?

If you’re talking platforms Sony is WAY MORE OPEN than Epic ever will be

Because Epic Games Launcher is only PC? Then Sony is also better than any company that releases only on Steam for PC?

WldFyre ,

Lmao

WldFyre ,

Well he was a pastor, so all bets are off

WldFyre ,

Yeah posting pics of minors to porn sites is fucking terrible wtf

WldFyre ,

content creators can get crypto that is openly tradeable for regular money

So no.

WldFyre ,

There’s been like 3 Spiritbox music videos released this week alone!

WldFyre ,

Yo the tankie wiki is fucking hilarious. The USSR page has this gold mine:

“On 8 August 1945, exactly three months after the defeat of Nazi Germany, Soviet troops entered Manchuria and Korea, and Japan surrendered within a week.”

WldFyre ,

So his contributions were wrong but now you’re moving goalposts and saying they’re funny and obviously wrong, so it’s okay? WTF kind of standard is that lol

WldFyre ,

Do you feel the same about Nazi channels?

WldFyre ,

You’d be upset if Nazi accounts were banned?

WldFyre ,

Someone said they were okay with these accounts being banned. You replying “it’s the principle of the matter” made it sound like you were disagreeing with those bans in free speech or anti-“corporate” censorship like many other commenters were saying. So I asked if you were okay with them banning Nazi accounts, which you agreed with so maybe I misunderstood?

WldFyre ,

Whoops my bad

WldFyre ,

What glaring issues are there with BG3?

WldFyre ,

Oh shit I haven’t experienced that personally but I’m sorry that you are! I did lower the graphics a little in the city since there’s so much more going on, maybe that’s made it more stable for me.

Over 10 Years After It Was Announced, Star Citizen’s Single-Player Squadron 42 Is ‘Feature Complete’ - IGN (www.ign.com)

Over 10 Years After It Was Announced, Star Citizen’s Single-Player Squadron 42 Is ‘Feature Complete’ - IGN::Star Citizen developer Cloud Imperium Games has said Squadron 42, the single-player portion of its controversial space sim, is finally “feature complete”, over a decade after it was announced.

WldFyre ,

Metadata is only valuable for ads though, right?

WldFyre ,

Performance per watt is a CPU metric I’ve never seen anyone use before lol

It’s wild what Apple marketing comes up with

WldFyre ,

I’ve never seen an ad and I’ve had yt premium for 6+ years

Use of AMD Anti-Lag+ technology in Counter Strike 2 will result in a VAC Ban, Valve confirms (videocardz.com)

AMD has made an oversight in implementing their new technology that poses a significant issue for Counter Strike 2 players who have opted to utilize AMD’s AntiLag+. Recently, AMD introduced a new 23.10.1 driver allowing players to access this technology in the game. However, it has now been confirmed that utilizing this...

WldFyre ,

That’s not a great argument. Real sports don’t let you change which rules you play by while others are still using the normal rules.

What you described is more like making your own league.

What kind of upbringing makes an incel?

Something I’ve always wondered is what kind of women were in the lives of incel men when they were young. Did they have a bad relationship with their mother? Did they lack sisters or other female family members? Or is their family situation irrelevant? Maybe some particular situation in their early years caused them to develop...

WldFyre ,

Nice buzzwords in response to them calling out total gibberish, I’m convinced!

WldFyre ,

Thankfully hexbear is bringing about real change!

WldFyre ,

Do you have any sources for that? Literally have no idea how you come to that conclusion

WldFyre ,

I’m not sure what you think that proves. World population has grown and people eat more animal products than ever, which is part of my argument that we should be cutting back on animal products and eat more humane and more efficient food sources.

Thanks for linking to proof of my point.

WldFyre ,

How do you figure? Genuinely don’t know how you could come to that conclusion.

Also, why are you arguing so aggressively about me being vegan? Sounds like denial or guilt for killing animals that you don’t have to tbh

WldFyre ,

If everyone went vegan, do you think the number of animals killed would stay the same? This is like a blend of “voting doesn’t matter” and “abolitionists have no effect since the slave population has grown every year.”

WldFyre ,

And yet, they don’t have computer-aimed turrets.

I know this is an old post, but just wanted to share. There’s a good argument (and I wish I could remember the source) that in the Star Wars universe, they’ve solved the PvNP problem. That effectively makes the idea of a secure network/computer impossible, since all systems can be hacked trivially. This is backed up by how every system can be easily hacked in minutes, if not seconds, and how security is mostly physical (the only way into this database is at this location, instead of a global network).

That means a much higher reliance on people than you’d expect, since getting hacked is a real threat and easy for your enemy to pull off.

Also, how commonplace sentient droids are, paired with how droids are universally discriminated against means there could have been a replicator/rougue AI incident in the past.

Not trying to say Star Wars is better than Star Trek here, just wanted to share some of the lore!

WldFyre ,

All that’s fair! IMHO it does get a little closer to the nitpicky level of scrutiny that Star Trek doesn’t really hold up to either, you know?

I do think droids are the airgapped system, it’s why the droid army in the prequels had physical droids sit in the seats and operate ships instead of having a main computer run everything.

WldFyre ,

Yeah for sure! At least we have both (well, kinda, Star Wars after The Last Jedi just doesn’t do it for me anymore haha). I think the pre-Disney EU had more effort into fleshing out the world, now it’s even more “rule of cool” than when Lucas was running the show
