I’m sorry; AI was trained on the sole sum of human knowledge… if the perfect human being is by nature some variant of a psychopath, then perhaps the bias exists in the training data, and not the machine?

How can we create a perfect, moral human being out of the soup we currently have? I personally think it’s a miracle that sociopathy is the lowest of the neurological disorders our thinking machines have developed.

Holy fuck, this can’t be right - mine says I’m responsible for millions of deaths! In the future!

What do we do?!

Convinced a long distance friend to change their major from Acupuncture to Computer Science before they ruined their life.

They’re doing better than I am, now.

TLDR: He doesn’t like it and says it tastes exactly like any other $3 cup, lol

I remember some interview with Warren where they were talking about the idea for the game and it was like “What if it was every single conspiracy theory, but they were all true?”

Well it turns out that makes for a pretty compelling story but also far too many of those ended up coming true, lol

Yep.

Our experts estimate that the various societies on Earth have a 96% chance of solving the Great Filter using humanity’s great superpower of technological innovation, but paradoxically only a 3 to 7.5% chance of successfully implementing the necessary societal and political changes before complete extinction.

I had something like this happen at a corp I once worked at. The CTO said they were going to outsource their entire datacenter and support staff to India.

I literally laughed in his face and obviously, got fired (always have 6-8 months of salary as an emergency fund, ahem-).

I won’t name the company but when half the Internet went down and a few major services? Yeah, it was that asshat driving and running between the datacenters realizing people in Bangladesh can’t do shit for you physically.

It’s like that graph: “Say we want to fuck around at a level 8, we follow this axis, and we’re going to find out at around a level 7 or 8”

I’m somewhat partial to the Telvanni Mushroom kingdom (the idea of, hey, here’s an acorn, go GROW your house) but Balmora has always held a special piece in my heart for being the first “big city” I’ve felt in a video game.

The transition to the Ashland and seeing a different biome entirely / grasslands / plains was also pretty incredible.

Ald’ruhn’s Capitol was also novel in design with the redundant rope bridges built on the inside of the shell of a gigantic upturned horseshoe crab.

Vivec’s cool but it’s only possible because of a demi-god’s literal meddling around with the terrain, and it’s too easy to get lost.

Caldera’s also nice, as well as Pelagiad.

I know I just named like ten places but Morrowind’s got a lot of diversity and biomes.

I bought a Radeon 9800 Pro for my 13th birthday.

I tell you, people kept telling me that I was wasting my life in front of a computer – but I lived an entire fucking lifetime in Morrowind, to the age of 92.

I must have walked every single square meter or Vvardenfell, and this was before major walkthroughs existed.

What, is the game really that good?

Card games have never appealed to me personally

Go for it, are you a good DM?

You can call yourself a solarpunk, you garden, have solar, it counts 👍

I’m a solarpunk who lives in a tiny apartment and bikes everywhere and has 100% renewable energy’l production and heating. Vegetarian also, but lots of dairy

The calculator still said I needed 1.8 earths to offset my lifestyle.

What do they want me to do, keel over and die? My carbon impact is almost zero, and is actually negative with my research and contributions into 3D photovoltaics.

I don’t think “planting 200 trees per year per person” is tenable. I think slapping a huge fuck-off fine on a major polluter is a much easier and effective strategy.

My personal yearly CO² impact is dwarfed by a single container ship travelling just 8 miles burning bunker oil.

Personal responsibility in this case isn’t the answer, social responsibility is. No one human being alone could damage the environment to this extent.

What if your grasses decomposed and were put under pressure by rocks inside said cave, slowly transforming into a rich, dark to jet black liquid hydrocarbon substance or something like that?

That would be pretty strange. Millions of years of stored sunlight and carbon, just liquefied and pumped underground on purpose.

That actually sounds like it’s precisely the point of the art.

The rat maze leads nowhere, you climb a tower with no purpose, only to reach the top, and then die.

Seems pretty utilitarian and on the nose. A suicide rollercoaster would’ve taken more physical land/real-estate.

Sounds like that Chechnyian Dictator is about to bring back Disco to his clubs, you can still make dance music at 116 BPM (the peak of his restriction):

Idiots in power. It’s always idiots in power; the power hungry never deserve their posts.

That was my grandfather’s advice as well and he survived the Soviet Union

Well shit, you make it sound like wiggling elementary particles on a lifeless iron-silicon based planet 12 billion light years away sound like a waste of time!

I mean, yeah. It’s happened before. :)

I began using Lemmy abruptly after quitting Reddit after the API fiasco of last year. With the third party apps on Lemmy like Voyager (lol), picking up the slack.

People don’t give a shit what service or server it’s hosted on, as long as it’s free and they can continue to interact with other users, because that’s ultimately, what matters, the community.

If you were having a party with some friends watching the Superbowl and some random corporate ass clowns came in and said: “Pack it up, we’re charging you for the privilege of talking to each other and also we’re selling your conversations on the Internet”, you’d give them a swift kick in the ass.

The content is yours, you made it, you spent the effort, the mental energy, the loss of actual lifetime to create it, post it, and share it with the world.

And then they want an IPO and pat themselves on the back for stealing. Get the fuck outta here, y’know?

Lemmy rules.
