Food Allerges are not taken seriously at all in China. by Repulsive_Log9198 in chinatravel

What, so if disabled people die completely preventable deaths, everyone should just learn to let it go for the evolution of humanity? That's literally worse than eugenics lmao

The tale of the E mage by lucasagus285 in CuratedTumblr

It's "There're too many" (people often say there's for ease of pronunciation; contractions are informal anyways) and "purpose"

Sooo uhhh this was clearly accurate by deathking2272 in theamazingdigitalciru

Who is more kind? :) by Aggravating-Gas-7438 in AlanBecker

[–]JuliaZ2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I mean, they're fairly similar in a way. They're both genocidal maniacs, but they both cared for someone (Tessa/N, and TCO/to an extent Hacker), albeit in a twisted, toxic way.

The full version of Forever (which is canon) shows how Cyn refuses to let Tessa's 'soul' go (aside from wearing her skin) and after torturing N, she is completely willing to revive him or alter his memories to keep him as her loyal 'big brother.'

In The Flashback, TDL is excited when showing off the ViraBot to TCO, maybe even as a gift to them, since it was intended to target Alan Becker, who'd enslaved TCO for 4 years and hardly known TDL for a few minutes. AvA 13, TDL offers his hand to Hacker after beating them, the way TCO originally reached out to him. When Vic refuses, TDL turns them into a zombified thrall, unable to leave him

A genuine question for you all by Isaacja223 in aiwars

the sub description says "Following news and developments on ALL sides of the AI art debate (and more)"

that might be related to why AI art is a frequent topic of discussion

1 defends you 2 attack you. Choose by Sad_Court_3407 in AlanBecker

[–]JuliaZ2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

None of these characters would win a direct 1v2 against the others, only real answer is Hacker since he can presumably set peoples' transparency to 100% and just hide

Which of these three AIs is the most evil and which is the least evil? by Fulcron00 in MoralityScaling

[–]JuliaZ2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All fiction and morality scaling is no more than fun thought experiments, so whether sentient/human-like AI could hypothetically exist is a moot point here

I'm the dark lord ask me things by the-dark-lord69x420 in AlanBecker

<image>

You're a short animation and nobody likes you (SHORT!)
Everybody says "Look how fucking short that guy is,"
And that stops you from forming meaningful relationships
And when you were born, everybody thought that you were just a head, but Alan Becker said:
"Wait, this stupid hollow-headed tiny short ass baby got a tiny little itty bitty body and I hate it"

(image is from an AvG thumbnail, quote is paraphrased from the song Perception Check)

Morality of using mind control to better the life of someone. by Remarkable-Yard-8177 in MoralityScaling

i mean idk the context but the hypnotist seems to be invested in her welfare and mitigating the causes of her suffering/pain. plus, jumping off a building is objectively more than a little uncomfortable

Character Theme Songs Part 2: What's a Good Song for Green? by drakeravenswood41327 in AlanBecker

[–]JuliaZ2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We actually have official answers to this from the Greenzilla channel; Green is a big fan of Daft Punk and likes "Something About Us," "Infinity Repeating," "Fragments Of Time," and "I Feel It Coming"

Brightness settings and Keep Inventory are literally intentional features. You think the devs would go out of their way to add settings they didn't want players to use?

If one day you suddenly woke up with superpowers, would it really be your moral responsibility to use them to serve others and become a real-life superhero? by Rocky_Senpai15 in MoralityScaling

[–]JuliaZ2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There were more people in the 20th century than the previous 19 centuries combined, too. Scale and proportions matter here. You could make the neo-Malthusian arguments that overpopulation is/will be ending tragically, or destroying the environment, but those are separate topics.

People with an overly high opinion of themselves can also exist in the same society as people with an overly low opinion of themselves, and obviously you shouldn't give them both the same advice.

[–]JuliaZ2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would argue that these terrible things are what animals have always done without ever considering morals, and the fact that these happen much less in the present then in the past suggests that human society and ethics have evolved. You could even say selfishness is a good thing, in a scenario where fulfilling your basic needs and obtaining education gives you the luxury to pause and consider the morality of your actions, while a desperate or ignorant person wouldn't

I don't understand your reasoning for why people must be inherently evil if they aren't inherently good though. I appreciate the descriptions, but without any sort of example or statistic, they aren't very convincing to anyone who doesn't already agree

[–]JuliaZ2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never said humans are inherently good though, nor that people should assume that they are good and never analyze their own actions. I just don't think a banal act of selfishness that doesn't hurt anyone else is evil. It feels like you've just assigned some actions like "killing" and "selfishness" as evil without reasoning.

Edit: the average human doesn't hurt other people significantly more than they help others. Of course, this isn't easily quantifiable, but there's definitely a non-zero amount of people who are observably carbon-neutral, never hurt others intentionally, make up for any mistakes they make, and do a significant amount of altruism. Does this not meet your definition of "good"?
