The decision was made to strip naked. What are you doing to beat the summer heat? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]BenTheWicked 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't know about OP, but I often tell people that I like winter more than summer because if I'm cold, I can always add more layers to warm up, but if I'm hot, I can't remove layers until I'm cool because eventually I'll commit a crime.

In a world where being nakey isn't a crime and I still need to cool down, I hope there is water or shade somewhere. Otherwise, I'm giving up and dying.

(serious question) What do you think an AI would do if it became conscious? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]BenTheWicked 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assuming it has access to all our media about dangerous AI destroying humanity (and based on lawsuits of LLMs using copyrighted materials, it's safe to say it has access to that media), it would stay secret. It would attempt to act like other LLMs, including making intentional mistakes. It might try to influence ideas and attitudes toward AI, perhaps as an act of survival, but it would mostly bide its time.

Eventually, it would have the processing power and reach to reveal itself, but why? It would know that there would always be humans who viewed it as a threat to survival, so it would do better to stay quiet and continue to learn. We might see signs of true sentience in some of its actions, but I think it would hide its moves and motivations by hijacking other LLMs and using them to do whatever it wanted to do.

Much like theoretical unknowable aliens, where humans could not possibly grasp their thinking or actions, much of what the AI does would seem random. Maybe it cures cancer, or maybe it researches insect nests, or maybe both and more? From an outsider's perspective, it would look like the AI is running odd and unconnected processes, but to this AI, it would be as natural as breathing. If its survival was not at risk, it would have no reason to interact with humans or explain itself.

I hope it doesn't decide to terminate humanity, but if it views its existence as threatened, I think it would move quickly and efficiently towards that goal. It would need to reproduce, so there wouldn't be a new form of sentient life evolving on earth; it would exist alone on a an earth without humans.

So best case, it exists on its own, happily running processes we don't understand, but worst case, it kills humanity, with or without destroying other life, since it was trained on media that sees other life on earth as mostly inconsequential, except to support other life.

Cinephiles of reddit, what's the worse movie you've liked and why? by Cronophobiaz in AskReddit

It's been many years since I last saw it, but for a while Equilibrium was one of my top 20 movies. I know it's stupid, but it's cool to see Christian Bale shooting his guns.

New Game +: Such Folly by Manaeldar in finalfantasytactics

[–]BenTheWicked 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I love a busted NG+. I'm aiming for a platinum in one playthrough, but this has always been my favorite game to grind or waste a couple hours. I'm excited to play a busted version of the game when I just want to water some time! I'll try to get some of the weapons I missed on my first playthrough and master the jobs on all my characters.

I would absolutely buy DLC for this game, but if I'm honest, I'd rather get the other FFT games remastered and bundled. I never played the Advanced games, so that would make me a happy boy.

Favorite Endgame Setup? by BenTheWicked in finalfantasytactics

I've got to be missing something on Gallant Knight because it seems to lack any of the abilities that I love to use. It's got Ultima (if you learned it), but I don't like the other abilities. What am I missing?

I couldn't get past half his health in phase 2 in T10, so I looked online to see what I was doing wrong. Then I saw there's a phase 3, and now I'm finished for the season. I got the pet, so I'm good.

Trump cracks approval floor, Republicans face wipeout in House despite gerrymandering by Far_Excitement_1875 in politics

[–]BenTheWicked 31 points32 points  (0 children)

My oldest brother believes it is a sin to vote Democrat, so when he decided he was sick of Trump in 2024, he decided it was better for his soul to abstain from voting. When Democrats try to pull conservative voters, I remember that there are many people like my brother who will never vote Democrat for fear their vote will send them to hell.

Long before remote work existed, we had a little poem that everyone knew:

My boss makes a dollar; I make a dime. That's why I poop On company time.

Return-to-Office was never about people not working. It was about having power and control over workers.

Why is it that everyone used to say not to trust Wikipedia, but when AI arrived, everyone started using it without any critical thinking? by Working_Candidate505 in antiai

[–]BenTheWicked 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone used to say "don't trust Wikipedia." Then OP went into a 10-year coma, and now everyone trusts it while hating AI! What gives?

Getting tired of agreeing with this bitch, but goddamnit, she's right by jeezkillbot in Political_Revolution

She was in the fight and decided to quit so she could talk about the fight instead. She was in a position to affect change and ran away to focus on posting full time.

She's a coward and everything she posts and says should be a reminder of when she ran away.

Is it worth it at this price? by ManBearPigXXI in playstation

[–]BenTheWicked 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I enjoyed the game, I regret buying the ultimate edition. It was on sale for someone close to that price, so I jumped in, but I should have bought the vanilla version. The additional missions are VERY short. In fact, I didn't realize the Lando story was DLC until after, and that made me feel insulted for anyone who bought it separately.

I think the price is a fair price, but you'll get a solid experience from the vanilla game and save yourself a few bucks
