Well, if we are not looking at all the disaster the hype is doing on so many levels (which is fine in the sense that technology and fools are different things), I draw the line at... intelligence, not simulation of hardware. I care lot less if something before me runs on carbon, metal or, say, sulfur than I care if it is intelligent

And as someone has already pointed out, even defining intelligence is damn hard, and different intelligence works differently (someone who is great at moving their body, like dancers or martial artists, is definitely more intelligent than me in quite a few areas, even if I know math or computers better than them). So... "artificial intelligence" as a bunch of algorithms (including LLM) etc - no problem with me, "artificial intelligence" as "this thing is thinking" or "this thing is just as good as a human artist/doctor/lawyer" - nah, bullshit

Wow, do I wholeheartedly thank you for this. Yes, we need something better, and I want to see more of "I think this will work better than what we have, because...", and not "I think capitalism is bad". Me personally would have started not with the system but people, buut as long as every aspect of life is going to eventually taken care of, bottom-up or top-down way of getting there does not really matter

Well, Arch wiki explicitly tells you are expected to read the page before doing an update. Those distros which claim to be user-friendly as in "we treat you with kids gloves" definitely should take care of this, no questions here

Yup, it really is not. Those plenty of people are doing a big disservice to others with such proposing. I am sad to hear it

Where did you get the idea that Arch is a daily driver for regular user? The very distro that tells in big letters: stuff can break, you better watch out on updates? The very distro that has command-line install process with chroot-like commands as official one?

This can't be stressed enough

Now that is worth being scared of. Thank you

Of course. It predates capitalism and any other -ism as well. Or did everyone live happily in ancient times?

Oh, get off this dead horse, will ya. Like anything else cannot do this, only capitalism can

Yeah, good luck reading 20+ pages of interlinked rules of what is what, what does what and in what order, then comparing that to how system behaves after your changes

Lol just kidding. No business rules are harder than five lines of text

My hero in shining armour (not a sarcasm, just a form of appreciation of someone who did what I would never have done)

Fuck. Sorry to hear. Though that means all this ai bullshit won't drown you, since you are after actual knowledge and skill. And if this makes any difference, I for one wish your life to be as sparing as it can possibly get

Hey there. Of course, I am in no position to say "do this, and it will be all right", but I will say that if there is any other way to live that won't put this kind of load on you - do it. You being happier is way way more needed in this world than you getting those certificates

Obligatory: so... not everyone is welcome there. Roger that

Yeah... The abstract (sorry, will read article a bit later) is bunch of nonsense to me (in respect to what is written, no offense to you):

• online experience commercially viable? The fuck they are talking about? Yeah, I know what is meant, but they would get fucking F in school for expressing thoughts in such a nonsensical way
• protections against illegal content would not exist on private servers? Really? Like only your company's servers can run that? What, you write them in machine code directly? Or is it all done manually? Anyhow, just release source code and it will be up to community to find a way to make it run

Developer choice, ha-ha, very funny. I am not familiar with the industry and still feel safe to bet most of them (edit: actual software developers making games) just want to get enough money for doing what they can do without too much stress/disgust and also most of them don't have a desire to see their work die just because some manager decided it is time to make some other games instead

Well... for one, empathy tells me that whoever ends up there after having voted for this, this is ok. Sute, it is cruel, now how about empathy for those people who did not want this and will still end up there? How about empathy to people who happened to be around those idiots who wanted this and got shitload of crappy attitude and worse from them? Or does anyone think for those millions supporting these atrocities - this very support is the only ugly thing they ever did and ever will do?

Yeah, I just knew Blizzard had to be on the list

The studio has done a great job. You most certainly have heard it already, but I am willing to say it again: the game is worth playing with whatever quality you can afford, save stutter-level low fps - the story is so touching it outplays graphics completely (though I do share the desire to play it on ultra settings - will do one day myself)

I wonder if I will still be alive when this whole "security" bullshit finally implodes
