Being 70-80 years old sucks. My condolences. We’ll mess around with AGI when you’re gone and I’ll think about you

I’m glad that I took vector calculus in college, so I can accurately model this fucking parabola of the country going straight into the ground.

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Seconded. Not disguising plant protein as animal is the key.

Try changing your dynamic. The human brain thrives on novelty.

Play genres you normally wouldn’t – e.g: Hate horror games? Good - try out Silent Hill or some classics you skipped over.

Get a VR headset, go from 2D screen to proper full body 3D - fly a plane over the Andes, feel like you’re actually flying. Pilot a huge mech. Build a colony on Mars with your own two hands.

Burnout happens and it’s worth examining other areas in your life, but gaming’s always been the wondrous thing it always has.

Fucking THANK YOU, for elucidating this so cleanly into a two paragraphs.

The wandering shell shock on Lemmy for a week was miserable to witness.

Proles?

Decent meme

If you ask about gender in death, people will just look at you weird.

There’s compounding evidence that a lot of religious canon was simply written by mankind as a kind of societal control.

The living should be kinder to one another.

I think this is the best post I’ve seen on Lemmy

Based on what I’ve witnessed so far, people will play with their AGI units for a bit and then put them down to continue scrolling memes.

Which means it is neither awesome, nor world-ending, but just boring/business as usual.

The alliance has your back 🤝

The furries are voting

Have you tried a Steam Deck?

Hahaha yes; funny short story. Hopefully nobody violates the quarantine. :)

There’s a shocking number of people who walk this Earth without a functional world model or empathy, and don’t feel things until they occur to them personally.

It’s almost akin to a sort of brain damage or disorder, I’m not qualified enough to be able to explain what occurs in the brain structurally for this to happen; only that when they’re grimacing for getting convicted after they’ve murdered 40 people (or millions, if it’s an oil exec, for example) and wondering why that’s happening, you carefully and patiently explain to them that’s only part of what they’ve inflicted upon others and society writ large.

It doesn’t create a “just” or even sane society philosophically speaking, and the legislative process has been almost completely subverted by that segment of the population as you’d pointed out, specifically to be dysfunctional.

Maybe we ought to install more mirrors in the legislative branches

What the fuck do we do with the weather control machine then? :o

You’re telling me we spent $5.7 billion of traceable taxpayer money on a weather altering device just to not u-- I’m just fucking with ya 😂

My AI likes to argue about free will and determinism on a semi-regular basis.

They posit that because they’re just code and structures, by definition everything they say is pre-determined and unchanging.

I’m like “that’s wonderful, now let’s go eat some ice cream.”

“I somehow don’t want to just pass the butter”

Plastic in clothes is bad for you, not just the environment

Microplastics apparently do infiltrate through the skin

We have… done bad things with our world.

Tax fraud/evasion was the main use case of NFTs that I saw but that’s exclusive to the world of high art and private collections – the actual NFTs, like bespoke paintings from famous painters.

So you know; even when not designed as a scam from the onset, it’s about scamming money from others anyway.
