I never had the desire to hop into a dead online game out of curiosity and I think at least 99.9% of players feel the same way.

I still play CoD: Modern Warfare 2 (the first one that was called that) multiplayer, using a third party client for a game that was basically dead by like 2014.

Some games are just good, and the flavor of the week stuff sometimes isn’t as good.

Sam Altman is an enemy of humanity and it would self defense to kill him.

I’m not gonna do it because that’s a hassle, but if someone did I wouldn’t condemn them.

My local wasps don’t bother me and I don’t bother them. Long as you aren’t close to the nest, most wasps are chill.

Eh, I have self-medicated with antibiotics before and it worked fine. Of course you can fuck it up, but that’s not guaranteed.

Dropping babies at fire stations is a trend way older than any firefighter currently alive. They all know what the intent is if they find an unattended baby.

Some of them might take a bit before they realize it’s actually serious though.

If I need help I’m sure as hell not calling the cops. The cops are only useful if the situation would be improved by a crazed gunman suddenly showing up and shooting anything that moves.

There are situations, granted, where that’s an improvement. But not many.

That’s not what they’re doing.

It absolutely is what they’re doing, what do you mistakenly believe they’re doing?

A torture device is useful for extracting information.

No it fucking isn’t! This is a great analogy, actually, thank you for bringing it up. A person being tortured will tell you literally anything that they believe will stop you from torturing them. They will confess to crimes that never happened, tell you about all their accomplices who don’t exist, and all their daily schedules that were made up on the spot. Torture is useless but morons think it is useful. Just like AI.

Ban notifications also get sent to your inbox.

Nope.

Those users are being harmed by it, not benefited. That isn’t useful, it’s a social disease.

I have no idea what you’re talking about, I’m just replying to what’s in my inbox.

Language without meaning is garbage. Like, literal garbage, useful for nothing. Language is a tool used to express ideas, if there are no ideas being expressed then it’s just a combination of letters.

Which is exactly why LLMs are useless.

I didn’t make anything up. That is an observation of the world around me and I stand by it.

Leave me alone, you clearly have no interest in having a reasonable conversation.

We’ll have to agree to disagree then. If you don’t want to catch fire, don’t sexually assault people.

Somehow I’ve managed to live nearly 3 decades without sexually assaulting anyone. You can do it too! I believe in you!

you made up that a significant proportion of parents (conveniently members of a group you dont like) were prone to torturing their children.

I’ve seen it plenty of times. Solitary confinement is torture, punitive beatings are torture. Where I’m from, it’s very common for parents to inflict these forms of torture on their children.

There is no level of violence unacceptable for self defense against sexual assault. Keep your hands to yourself.

I just made an offhand comment saying I hope his parents are supportive despite the fact that many aren’t. Then a dozen people dog piled me with “actually there’s no such thing as an unsupportive parent you’re making that up this is a psyop!!!”

From my perspective, you’re the one strangely committed to denying that there has ever been a shitty parent anywhere on Earth.

I didn’t “make up” anything, I commented about an experience I have witnessed among many, many of my peers. Shitty parents who fetishize rules and uphold them over what is right are very common in my personal, lived experience. I am happy for you that you find this so unbelievable, because it means your life has been much better than mine.

The “holodomor” is a neonazi conspiracy theory used to downplay the holocaust.

There is nothing normal about shoving your entire arm up a cow’s asshole in order to slightly increase the chance of your artificial insemination working so you can murder its baby and drink all the milk produced to nurture that baby.

You’re sick.
