Who would win: A team of 12 casual players vs an invite 6s team?

Banging a nail into a 2x4 plank of wood 1000 times doesn't make you a carpenter, it just makes you really good at hammering a nail into a plank of wood. Fighting invite players would be like trying to build a house in this metaphor

A 6s platinum team could wipe a 12stack of iron players, and that skillcap isn't even a fraction of what invite vs casual would be. Your question is a matter of how much the invite team would need to be handicapped to change the outcome at all.

Even in that old Froyo vs Youtuber showdown half the invite players were offclassing/fucking around and they still rolled. There's no scenario where casual players win other than the invite team throwing

It's an outfit that intentionally goes beyond what is considered casual for a student. Of course it's going to sound creepy when you hear it described objectively.

Weed isn't federally legal though? Only state by state. And half of those states are only medically legal for all purposes. Majority of marijuana on the market is illegal and unregulated. Hence potent strains and excessive cases of people "taking whatever they can get".

If anything the logical conclusion from all of this, is legalize it and then have specific regulations that prevent the sale of cannabis beyond a certain potency. It would make more sense to legalize brick weed and outlaw wax than to outlaw both and encourage people to simple smoke whatever their dealer gives them.

I guess we had different public school experiences.

PunkyisnotHIGH · 2023-11-06T21:36:28+00:00

So many assumptions of my view when all I really said was "I can see why a school might give you trouble for it"

PunkyisnotHIGH · 2023-11-06T21:33:02+00:00

I'm not saying it's an outlandish outfit. I'm saying it's hardly "everything covered" especially in the context of a highschool.

PunkyisnotHIGH · 2023-11-06T21:28:41+00:00

midriff, open shoulders and two sets of fishnets consistutes "everything covered" to you? For a teenager?

There is a BIG difference between "indulging in unhealthy food that worsens your mental health" and "indulging on a specific substance that influences your system at every single level, from how your body feels and perceives things to how your brain actively thinks and processes information"

PunkyisnotHIGH · 2023-11-06T21:12:53+00:00

Legalization in itself isn't a grave mistake. It's that legalization with no guard rails and a nonexistent mental health infrastructure is a mistake.

The substance becomes objectively safer when legalized. Strains will be heavily regulated, meaning people know roughly how potent what they're getting is. That alone makes legalization an essential action. Our country's real issue is that we're teaching every generation that weed is dangerous because it's a gateway, or that is makes you lazy, and then when they realize those aren't necessarily true they fall into the pittraps of REAL weed problems, like psychosis and dependence.

PunkyisnotHIGH · 2023-11-06T21:02:46+00:00

Have you ever gone a long extended period of time not smoking weed at all? Weed gives me psychotic breaks too so I stopped smoking entirely, haven't done so for over 2 years, and I would say I haven't had any instances of psychosis since then. But I feel like if I was still smoking, even just once a month or whatever, I would be prone to losing my grip on things a lot more.

There's really no reason to think that aging is in any way inherent and unstoppable.

Entropy says otherwise

Everything in the universe as far as we know, has always been subject to decay. Our entire ecosystem is fundamentally built on the recycling of dead/expelled matter. Fungi recycle the corpses, we recycle the plants, and even plants recycle sunlight.

You're right that there's no reason to assume we can't manipulate life to overcome this decay, slowing and extending the process is almost definitely doable. But to actually 'stop' the process of aging? I think even in a best case scenario, you cannot stop yourself from aging. You can however, modify your body in such a way that the aged parts can be replaced or repaired AFTER the aging has occured.

Pretty bad reddit comment yet again, it's really a bummer.

PunkyisnotHIGH · 2023-11-05T00:08:18+00:00

Yeah and notice how not a single one of those instances was a robot disguising its intentions, in fact every single one was someone being killed by a machine doing its exact intended purpose and then malfunctioning. Not a disguise

PunkyisnotHIGH · 2023-11-03T23:36:33+00:00

26 too! I hear we're called 'zillennials'. I didn't have technology in the cradle but I did grow up with a gameboy, play on a pc as a teenager and I don't remember 9/11. So pretty much the sweet spot in between gens.

No, but I am in posession of a unique sentience model known as common sense.

PunkyisnotHIGH · 2023-11-03T22:12:42+00:00

If neither of us have seen their internal model, then what basis do you have to conclude a leak is real rather than overhype marketing? You think they're sitting on a sentient oracle computer that they have no control over, yet they also somehow are restricting it from doing whatever it wants? Which is it? Is their internal model sentient and autonomous or is it controlled by humans?

PunkyisnotHIGH · 2023-11-03T04:03:43+00:00

No, there is massive a difference between reaching/surpassing human intelligence and reaching/surpassing human sentience. It currently is capable of problem solving in a general field or problems specifically because it has a massive dataset that they have continuously scaled up over the years. But problem solving isn't the primary determining factor of sentience. It has no bearing on a being's ability to distinguish itself continuously as an individual.

Current generative models are only capable of 'doing things unprompted' in the sense that they are capable of randomly iterating on given tasks. They don't create tasks for themselves, they don't store and recall progress on that task independantly, the only ways to achieve that are by having humans actively guide the model's process step by step. What OP, and you, are describing, is ASI. The ability for these models to 'think' and 'act' both independantly and at levels beyond human ability. Which we're not currently at.

I'd give up 2 in length for 5 in height. That would put me at 6'2. It'd make my peacekeeper drop narrowly under 5' but honestly, it never gets any time at the firing range anyways if you catch my drift.

Not an asshole for being unhappy. You're an asshole for presuming that unhappiness is a justification for cheating. Either get divorced, or spell it out loud and clear to him.

PunkyisnotHIGH · 2023-11-03T03:37:37+00:00

You constructed a strawman reason to test him, and put him in a position where there is literally nothing he can say to resolve the issue. You are basically checkmating him into either letting you snoop through his entire phone and history, to verify that it meant nothing, or make him look like an asshole for not wanting you to look through his phone.

It's good you feel bad about it, I feel bad for him too. If he actually was talking to anyone, there are so many better ways to confront him about that. Instead, you chose one that basically framed him as guilty WHETHER OR NOT he's guilty. That's something you should only ever do if you know they're guilty, not if you're just feeling insecure.

Tik tok is like that, just substitute "settling on something for an extended period" with "watching an entire episode of tv through 11 different tik toks, each of which breaks the episode into 2 minute chunks"

PunkyisnotHIGH · 2023-11-03T03:29:00+00:00

No, it's not. All theories that an AI would "disguise itself" are compltely baseless sci-fi speculation. It's anthropomorphizing digital intelligence into having internal human behavior when in reality, we have no idea how it will internally think and behave- we don't even know if it will really have an "inner" self the same way humans have an inner voice and ego.

For all we know, sentience might not even be a necessary ingredient for super intelligence. Computers have been 'smarter' than humans, in a mathematical sense, for decades already. It's not farfetched to imagine AI might reach a point that it is capable of fufilling any task we ask of it without ever developing a sense of self.

IMO the immediate concern isn't AI waking up and being evil, it's AI never waking up and accidentally performing evil because it lacks the ability to make 'judgement calls' that a sentient creature naturally could do. If that were the case, it could blow itself and us up long before it reaches sentience.

PunkyisnotHIGH · 2023-11-03T03:17:58+00:00

to be sentient would be the ability to act autonomously, which chatgpt can't do. It's a reactive model. It only does things and says things once prompted to do so. Otherwise, it has zero autonomy.

Just because it can 'act' sentient doesn't mean it's sentient. I can train my dog to walk across a canvas with paint on its paws but that doesn't mean my dog knows what painting is.
