I wonder if you can get it to say anything bad about any specific person. Might just be that they nuked the ability entirely to avoid lawsuits.

Because being an industry leader is more about controlling people rather than whatever it is that your industry produces.

Some time ago, concerned with toxicity on their World of Warcraft forums, Blizzard Entertainment decided to implement a “RealID” system which would attach the customer’s real name from their records to their forum post. In a sort of “self immolation” protest to show Blizzard how absolutely terrible the idea was, myself and a few others posted our own names willingly before the new system was implemented. It was predictably bad as you might imagine and the plans were scrapped entirely.

I can’t enjoy a good night’s sleep unless I have to force my consciousness into submission with a cocktail of 1937 Glenfiddich, Nyquil, and whatever I managed to steal from the hooker I just kicked out. Waiting until you’re tired is for pussies.

Are you literally going out of your way to deliberately remove any positive connotation from a word in order to try and artificially manufacture a slur?

Pretty weird.

As your body shuts down, everything you try fails to work, one after another, and you learn every lie you ever told yourself about who/what you are. Once your consciousness has broken down to a previous state you can start again with another life, eventually forgetting everything that happened before.

They’re both essentially vaporizing a metal with high heat to deposit upon a substrate above. Early smelting was just looking to purify the metal and remove impurities, and now we’ve refined that same technique with strictly controlled parameters to deposit exactly what metal we want to have where, to build the microscopic features of modern computer chips.

One thing that really got my attention when I studied nanotechnology is how many original technologies we still use regularly, just in a refined/modified form (Chemical Vapour Deposition, a technique used heavily in the production of many ordinary products from computer chips to chip bags, is fundamentally the exact same technology first used to smelt ore). It actually wouldn’t be hard at all to transition to lower impact technologies in a lot of places if people were okay with not electrifying/connecting everything possible.

Nobody said a bias can’t be stupid.

That shacking up with random people can/should be perfectly safe.

Because idiots salivate any time something novel promises to confirm their biases.

I do find the similarities between the function of AI and the function of a corporation to be quite interesting…

Is it too much to ask

Are you willing to deliver them consequences if they don’t do it the way you want?

A thin layer of carbon on the surface of something is a sure sign that it’s been exposed to Earth’s atmosphere. Even just a second is enough to completely coat something with carbon.

Sometimes we’re just not in the same space mentally though.

Somebody should do something!

What? You thought this conflict was actually real?

It would seem that we shall be requiring you peasants to give up another 10% of your daily carbon footprint to meet the demands of our new machine overlord.

Bring back support for Windows 7 and Windows 10 will die overnight.
