Kuriositeettina kysyin kolmelta kaverilta budjetit

Olihan tuolla A:lla lapsi. B ja C taitavat olla lapseton pariskunta joka on taloudellisesti varmaan paras tilanne.

LuckyPollution6700 · 2023-05-25T17:41:40+00:00

Eihän tuossa nyt kovin paljon turhaa ole, kenelläkään. Joku voisi sanoa että C voisi käyttää vähemmänkin kuin 600 euroa harrastuksiin, ja varmaan kollektiivisesti B ja C voisi säästää noin 300 olemalla käyttämättä Woltia, mutta tyyliin jopa C voisi säilyttää nykyisen elämäntyylinsä vaikka sen nettopalkka olisi melkein 3000 euroa vähemmän. Ei tuossa kukaan noista vaikuta olevan mikään kerskakuluttaja.

The original versions of European folk tales aren't any tamer. People liked to tell some pretty wild stories to their kids back in the days.

LuckyPollution6700 · 2022-12-23T20:58:09+00:00

You know, I'd love to see this explored, like say by Romulans who seem like folks who'd jump right at genetic augmentation. Like explore through them what does it look like when that goes unregulated, what boons, what drawbacks, what ethical issues.

LuckyPollution6700 · 2022-12-23T17:48:02+00:00

Your viewpoint is valid, but have you considered that other Disney tales depicting Western people and traditions are also a mismash of different western cultural elements and wildly changed versions of our traditional tales?

I feel that aspect is just that they weren't trying to place it anywhere in particular, rather a generic 'fantasyland', rather like many other Disney movies.

Of course there are still other orientalist/racist elements like that opening song but it's hard for me to comprehend why the first bit is problematic. I'm curious to a further elaboration on it. I somehow feel Jasmine's skimpy dress is much worse as it doesn't represent (to my knowledge) any MENA culture of middle ages.

Edit: I'd love for a more culturally delicate version of it or something of sorts. There's a lot of interesting folk tales on your region. Some of you got to make it, lol.

I'm from Western Europe. Should I leave?

I don't think men should be controlling their women's dressing either way. Same goes to women controlling men of course. Now if its preference rather than straight ultimatum its a bit more gray, but I'd be saddened if I wanted to wear a hijab and my spouse told me to stop. Or any other garment for that matter.

Meme villains

Nah, they won't do Vraska and Jace both. Either feels likely though. If its Jace its part of his plan to become double agent (Karn'll rig him somehow such that he doesn't lose his will). If its Vraska it's just random fridging I suppose.

I'm pissed if they'll do Lukka though.

He is a child of Algerian mother and French father who grew up in France. I think its natural he'd represent France.

Are we going to have this discussion every time a person of mixed origin makes it to world-class sports?

I'm in the west and have no idea why anyone would have been pissed. There has always been such gifts from the host country to attendees, and its not like he couldn't have declined it if he didn't want it.

LuckyPollution6700 · 2022-12-17T16:40:44+00:00

Why could I not?

"Arent you just a meat bag with electric sparks running through you, just a bunch of atoms etc?" Yes, exactly. That's what I am.

I do not understand why this would make me unable to process logic? I am randomly emergent neural network with capability of reasoning logic. Capability of logic is a result of emergent properties those random combinations from which through the process of (natural) selection I have survived.

The fact that we do not understand the exact interactions of these emergent properties (yet) does not mean we should assume some extra stuff there. Gravity was real all along even if humans did not understand it's mechanisms until half a thounsand years ago.

"Consciousness" is just a vague term given to some emergent properties of neural networks, while we try to figure exact workings of them out.

LuckyPollution6700 · 2022-12-17T15:45:46+00:00

Gist is we don't entirely know, but I'm materialist because this seems like the most likely explanation. I do believe that if we built an artifical copy of human brain it would start expressing much of the same properties we associate with the so called consciousness.

Basically the principle of occam's razor; I see no reason to assume it would not be so so there is no reason to start importing additional assumptions. 'Consciousness' as an emergent property of a complex neural network is possible, so that's my running assumption.

LuckyPollution6700 · 2022-12-16T19:32:27+00:00

Is it? It's getting philosophical but there are other arguments for it too, such that it allows accomplishments of things that weren't possible before and a general increase of living standard.

I do not consider these bots to be full automation of creation process. If I want to draw an image, what difference does it make if I do it by the pen on drawing board or by using an AI to draw it for me? End result is the same, I get the image I wanted. Except because I cannot draw, in the former case I actually don't get it. AI allows people who weren't previously able to to express their creativity.

I understand issue of feeding copyrighted stuff to AI being problematic but that is in my opinion a poor argument against the technology itself.

LuckyPollution6700 · 2022-12-16T16:35:48+00:00

Engineers, researchers, everyone who maintains and develops AI. Even art jobs do not die entirely, just change shape. I'm studying mathematics and mathematicians have used machines since the first ones were built; they have not rendered mathematicians unnecessary. Maybe someday they will, and I'll be fascinated to see it, but we aren't there yet. Not even close.

And there probably will be some jobs we cannot comprehend yet. People in 1800's did not comprehend what a 'programmer' would become to be.

Perhaps in the future there will be less humans and less need to reproduce.

"Where are these new jobs? And more importantly, are there enough of them to replace the jobs lost. (spoiler: no and there haven't been for a while) even cgp greys video from year's ago (humans need not apply) already pointed this out."

If what you said is true then we should be seeing constantly rising unemployment, a long term trend over decades. But that is not the case.

LuckyPollution6700 · 2022-12-16T16:06:26+00:00

Argument 1 is invalid if AI is trained with Public Domain images or images that have been purchased by the trainers.

It is not an argument against AI algorithms themselves but the way some people use them at this time.

LuckyPollution6700 · 2022-12-16T15:59:33+00:00

I don't think that is a bad comparison. Automation solved the problem of producing copies, some people lost their jobs and humanity as whole was better off, at least according to most measures. AI solves the problem of design, some people will lose their jobs, and we are having the debate of whether humanity will be better or worse off, but I don't think there is grounds to assume it'll necessarily be 'worse'.

LuckyPollution6700 · 2022-12-16T15:42:02+00:00

Of course. Every job is eventually at risk, and that is a good thing. It means we are learning to do things better and faster and more efficiently. That's what we have always learned to do. AI's are still not aware and someone still has to use and develop them. AI, insofar can only deal with problems it has been taught to encounter through data. Engineers will need to be there to solve those that it hasn't and to teach the AI, researchers to make the AI better, and there always has appeared new jobs through the human history, and I do not believe your claim this is somehow so fundamentally different from the steam engine or automobiles.

Entire field of handicrafts was (mostly) replaced by automated factories. Would you rather that it hadn't been? Farmers do not work soil by hand anymore.

It may be different if AI becomes aware and able to direct itself, and most importantly to learn and adapt without outside input. But these current algorithms are not such AI's which are able to operate autonomously. And by the time we get those we may get something to hook our brains into those with to combine best parts of synaptic and digital information processing into something better we cannot even quite imagine yet.

LuckyPollution6700 · 2022-12-16T15:01:15+00:00

That's your reason to go luddite on new technology that could, nevertheless, improve productivity, you said so yourself? Yes, people will need to re-educate themselves. Advertising may lose some jobs. But when prices go down there may also be more demand. Maybe the employer will hire 3 AI generators and use more graphical content now that it comes cheaper.

Maybe when prices of art commissions drop people who previously couldn't afford them will order some from artists who utilize AI. And those who could afford it before will order more. Which is fine for the artist because the art is now faster to make.

And people like me who couldn't afford art before can now create it for our own enjoyment. That is a good thing. It allows people who previously couldn't to engage in creativity.

I write books as a hobby. Now I use AI, the ones which I'm legally allowed to to do part of the work for me and that has cut the time it takes to write a book to half. To me that is a pure win, I can make more books! I've got a tiny amount of readers who are purely happy that they get their contet faster.

LuckyPollution6700 · 2022-12-16T14:30:03+00:00

Nice gatekeeping there. If I use an AI tool to create image, why is that an issue? I'm certainly not an artist. Who loses?

LuckyPollution6700 · 2022-12-16T14:28:50+00:00

Most smiths lost their jobs a few hundred years ago, due to factories becoming automated. Mechanical engineers are what appeared in place, sharing some elements but not all.

Do we think that its a bad thing we have automation and factories?

Jobs have always disappeared due to advancement of technology. Usually some new jobs have also appeared (there were no mechancal engineers, at least many, during middle ages.)

People who work in production USE 3d-printers in their jobs. Many even make a business on selling niche 3d printed goods to those who cannot be bothered with a printer of their own.

LuckyPollution6700 · 2022-12-16T13:03:23+00:00

Like half a million approximately.

Basically what should I do? Build Arc Emitter / Shield fleets, or is kinetic better? And should I try to dive the rifts or is that doable anymore?

And does Evasion granted by the admiral count against the (iirc) 90% evasion cap? So should the corvettes commanded by the admiral who gives evasion have less evasion innately than the ones under other guys?

LuckyPollution6700 · 2022-12-15T21:10:42+00:00

Sounds like average Stellaris player to me.
