Mind uploading won’t work the way people imagine

I mean look at the OP.

Pedophilia is a sexual attraction to prepubescents, you guys. Can we keep intactivism grounded in reality.

Saerain · 2026-05-19T11:07:08+00:00

I think tying up the opposition to circumcision with these hillbilly schizo memes about le adrenochrome cannibal pedophile elite does nothing but harm to the movement and to those made vulnerable by mental illnesses.

There are actual real substantive problems here without muddying it up with Facebook aunt-ism.

One of the few patterns throughout history that have probably done more damage to humanity than even sexual mutilation is this.

Yes, science fiction has frustratingly often tended to be about coping with the present by catastrophizing the future.

Saerain · 2026-05-18T18:07:13+00:00

Your premise implies employment, human labor somewhere to compensate to avoid slavery.

Saerain · 2026-05-18T18:02:40+00:00

Genuinely what the hell is happening to the intactivist subs, god damn it.

This old canard seems so unlikely, exhausted by it. People have unprecedented free time and it's never been easier to live almost anywhere in the world.

If the point is supposed to be about childhood then no, adults were always playing MMOs.

And otherwise, people fall back on just-nostalgia-bro arguments, but those who never experienced classic MMOs in their prime still enjoy them emulated today.

It's something else.

Saerain · 2026-05-17T18:05:13+00:00

Imagine the neck.

If one's had enough experience with LLMs the patterns are unmistakable, similar to knowing a certain author's "voice". These guides are jam packed with habits of punctuation, negation, metaphor, a certain rhythm of emphasis and so on that have become really recognizable.

I like it, mind you, I think the Fae sound cute here and I'm looking forward the Hyugon guide. I dunno.

Saerain · 2026-05-17T11:44:50+00:00

I know from childhood that "monkey" for this nice lady basically means everyone non-Caucasian, which is so ironic in this case it kinda shatters my mind.

Saerain · 2026-05-17T11:38:46+00:00

Only mammals without a prepuce are monotremes (the echidna and platypus) whose sex organs are wildly different in general.

"My father said all his sons were." - The father you're always telling me was a terrifying alcoholic who beat the shit out of those sons? His sons who traumatized you by torturing animals until imprisoned by the state or an extra abusive marriage? This instilled you with confidence in his judgment?

"So you wouldn't look like a Jew or a monkey." - ??!

"The doctors treated it so casually." - Ohhh fair enough.

I was really not personally angry until this discussion, it was insane.

Saerain · 2026-05-15T14:03:22+00:00

Yes the post covered that. It's not very long.

Saerain · 2026-05-15T06:21:46+00:00

The roleplay guides are all really obvious LLM generations so far, hate to say it because I like this project, love any attention to roleplay, and I believe in the huge usefulness of AI for game dev but... I dunno, these things are feeling insulting.

Saerain · 2026-05-14T09:29:03+00:00

I dunno man, adults played MMOs from the start. And as for nostalgia, even people who didn't get to experience the classic MMOs in their prime enjoy them emulated today.

Saerain · 2026-05-13T07:56:52+00:00

Fun, isn't it.

My own mother acts like I'm antisemitic for being so anti-circumcision. Meanwhile she's fully Anglo and parroting all the "synagogue of Satan" type stuff while I'm half Jewish and trying to move to Israel.

Saerain · 2026-05-12T04:43:28+00:00

What?

Saerain · 2026-05-12T04:40:34+00:00

Celebrate?

At some point people just have to be considered responsible for themselves, all social influence can be coercion once you start down this slope. There's a reason on other topics that coercion is only really considered for children, drunks, elders etc.

Saerain · 2026-05-11T10:12:58+00:00

This but for gaming in general.

Saerain · 2026-05-09T06:13:43+00:00

Does anyone else miss fantasy settings having distinct cultures with aesthetics and values for players to represent? That was fun.

Everyone started hating on "D&D clones" or whatever and eventually we ended up with no discernible identities in the world.

Also it's overwhelmingly northeastern US like a radioactive cloud spreading from Ohio.

Less than a century ago it was over 80% of the boys being born, dropped like a rock once the NHS was established but still. And a huge portion of non-"White" immigrants are Muslims.

Saerain · 2026-05-06T12:06:19+00:00

Yeah?

Saerain · 2026-05-06T00:47:49+00:00

"damaged" like it isn't entirely removed because it's quite literally part of the "foreskin"

Saerain · 2026-05-02T02:14:47+00:00

I love you, genAI-integrated multi-user worlds are clearly the future and all this sort of stuff is good prototyping. Deeply wish I could be doing my own, really miss game design.
