  • Expecting everything to continue as is has always seemed so short sighted

    Like if Newton was shown a half second video of an apple falling from a tree and decided the apple would maintain speed and pass thru the ground that’s not in frame…

    I thought most of the scientific community was already on board with multiple big bangs all over, like the Katy Perry song about Fireworks.

    When two planes bump up against each other, it causes a “bang” and a resulting universe. Each one with a lifespan. Some may die out quietly, some may overlap with another eventually.

    Because of the expansion, there’s no way to tell when/if that may happen, no one can see outside their expansion bubble. Any second since our univesers was created we could have been wiped out. And right now is just as likely as 50 billion years ago.





  • Ironically, your whole comment makes the point for mandatory civil service…

    It clearly didn’t work with you, but if it didn’t work for most other people, you wouldn’t be online complaining about it.

    Most people learn the value of helping others long before that age, but human variation…

    Evolutionary speaking, a couple of selfish people who only care about themselves could be advantages. If an emergency happens and all the pro-social people risk their lives and die saving others, you’re the “seed bank” to run away while pooping yourself an may go on to proliferate the groups genes…

    Even tho you were fine running away while the rest of your tribe dies a gruesome death.

    It’s not your fault you’re a coward who doesn’t care about others, it’s evolution.

    Someone like that would at least find solace in being told it’s not their fault. And that’s all I can do because you don’t want to acknowledge why 99% of your society thinks you don’t contribute enough to trap the rewards of their society


  • The work I did for 364 days was in a school, and had nothing to do with my studies or interests, nor did it teach me any skills. I was mostly bored out of my mind.

    Wait…

    Your civil service wasn’t glamours and benefited others instead of yourself?!

    The outrage!

    Why didn’t your father listen to you when you told him you don’t care about your society and only what personally benefits you?

    I can’t believe he was sooooo selfish that he was upset you wouldn’t help others because it didn’t directly and immediately help you…

    Obviously the problem is your father and the rest of your society for not letting you take all the advantages of your society without contributing, without causing you to feel shame.



  • The problem is instead of finding better ways to stop it (regulations) you’re looking for “productive” ways to use it…

    Apparently because you’ve pre-emptively given up.

    But if you succeed it would lead to more AI and more damage to our planet.

    I fully understand you believe you have good intentions, I’m just struggling to find a way to explain to you that intentions don’t matter. And I don’t think I’m going to come up with a way you’ll beavle to understand.

    It’s like if someone was stuck in a hole in the ground, and instead of wanting to climb out, you yank everyone else back into the hole when they try and keep trying to get them to help you redecorate the hole.

    I truly hope someone can present that in a way that gets through to you, because you are doing real damage.







  • invalidates the fact that toddlers will instinctively walk up to other toddlers to play regardless of their race.

    That happens because in-group selection is forming as toddlers…

    Like, this highlights my general point. You’re just making a bunch of assumptions based on feelings instead of spending five minutes looking into all the actual scientific research.

    The connection is that just like they need exposure to language, they need someone to socialize them and develop an aversion to violence. Done properly everytime a child uses violence they are told “no” and have some means of punishment. Which teaches them not to be violent.

    Without that, you get an adult who readily uses violence.

    You’re seeing the results of literal decades of socialization and ate deciding it’s not necessary because everyone’s socialized.

    So why not just stop socializing them?

    I hope that made sense, or at least someone else will help you.

    But I’m just getting too many flashbacks to when ICP tried to guess how a magnet works…

  • What would really help is a way to disable replies… (Edit: meant the notifications)

    I don’t make posts here, but I’ve hesitated posting big news articles before, because people keep making top level comments days/weeks later and they keep coming in as notifications.

    Some people on here desperately feel the need to reply back to every notification, so I’m assuming a lot of the deletes are just people who feel satisfied with the answers they already got



  • Ultimately the problem with LLM accusations is that short of a confession or doing some hardcore surveillance of the other person you can’t prove it

    Human variation.

    Ironically you would have to take the others person word on it, luckily you just said you were comfortable doing so.

    Some people are statistically insignificant, and to them lots of stuff is incredibly obvious and they’re constantly frustrated others can’t see it. They might even sink sizeable free time into explaining random shit, just to practice not losing their temper when people can’t see the obvious.

    So you might not be able to tell that was AI from a glance, but humans are pattern recognition machines and we’re not all equally good at it.

    So believe a “llm accusation” or not, but some people absolutely can pick out a chatbot response, especially when taking the two seconds to glance at typical comments from a user profile.

    Jump from 1-2 sentence comments to a stereotypical AI response…

    Well, again, not everyone is as good at picking out patterns quickly.

    To some what took me literally under 10 seconds and two clicks counts as “hardcore surveillance” because it would take them a long time to figure it out.

    Don’t assume everyone else is exactly like you.
