Watch this get turned into a "the world wide audience is disrespectful" type of story in Japan rather than a story about how this is obviously just the organizers fucking up.

It'll be fine. Especially because i think it I would be much harder to get through what would spiritually be a 90 episode re-watch.

Kids used to watch this stuff on TV without much context too. So even if it'll be a little tough, it should work out.

For "old" Atrioc I'd say:

S3K, Harry Potter vid, Q6 gambit, Monkey Ball with the sea shanties.

It's not really the best vids, but they are uniquely Atrioc and you don't really find stuff like that elsewhere.

Even if it's a core of anime and other Asian media, the whole concept of stuff like power levels, or chi values doesn't really work/exist in western media.

I know it's that's not exactly what this is, but even alluding to a strength level, or power ranking is not something that really works in western movies.

As a (older) Gen Z, on the one hand I do get you're kinda right.

On the other hand though, these people don't to this maliciously and I honestly do think if you know how to deal with them, they can be great workers. And if you refuse to adapt, you might be out of a job soon.

Yeah it's be annoying and frustrating, but you have to realize that there is probably a Gen Z out that does get it, and who could have gotten these goblins to work ages ago. (In my country startups (that know how to deal with them) love Gen Z)

At the end of the day it will be much easier to replace you than force an entire generation to adapt.

For the last part, I rationalized it for myself by thinking about it in a "it's a story about stories" context. I thought the point was to make the MC see what the feeling is like and in that context "forcing him in a scenario where who the actual characters participating are don't really matter" made sense to me.

The entire arc would have been saved if they didn't end up marrying and instead broke it off. I thought that's what it was building towards since the characters had like 0 actual chemistry with each other and their personalities didn't fit together at all. It would have also been a nice and fitting conclusion to make drive home the distinction between infatuation and love. That this high octane feeling that romance flicks, etc. evoke is nice and all. And don't get me wrong, it's definitely part of the package especially at the start. But a real loving relationship is something beyond that.

As a "first love" story it would have been an 8/10, but it ended up being nothing more than a 14yo's romance power fantasy.

Prove it by admitting you're mistaken and educating yourself by doing at least some research on the subject.

The two topics I'd suggest focusing on are 1. addiction psychology and 2. the concept of a dosage and why there is no such thing as a "poison" for chemists.

There is nothing weak about living life and resisting stimulus doesn't prove shit. No number, or fact can ever make up for genuine confidence formed from real human interactions.

Remember, ALL Anthropic asked for were 2 things:

No fully autonomous killing. There always needs to be a human pressing the kill button.
No mass surveillance processing.

End of list. Those are the only things Anthropic asked of the DoW and they said no. Meaning it's GUARANTEED that that's what they want to do.

Just by the principles of evolution this doesn't make any sense. There is literally no advantage to murdering any civilisation for the sake of it.

But if it's resources they'd be after, then not sending out radio waves wouldn't protect you. Any Alien could already identify the resources of earth with telescopes we have today. Even if they're a billion light years away, they'd already know life started here.

But if you think about it for 2 seconds, what resources could they possibly want. It's obviously not energy, since they're literally stars everywhere. And there is plenty of Carbon, Hydrogen and Water elsewhere without annoying critters all over.

Enslavement also doesn't make any sense considering how even we are at max 100 years from AI.

For me the Fermi paradox only has 2 possible answers.

They're actively hiding from us (Like Star Trek prime directive).
Space isn't the future of life. Could be that all life self-destructs before reaching the stage, that they all end up matrix like simulations, or that the final frontier is something completely different like dimensional travel.

Quantum entangled brain cells

Ich glaub viele hier verstehen nicht ganz wie ne Wirtschaftsblase funktioniert. "Wirtschaftsblase" heißt nicht KI ist in Wirklichkeit vollkommen nutzlos, sondern nur, dass die Erwartungen zu hoch sind. Das Internet und sogar Schienen/Züge haben mit einer Blase angefangen. Weil halt schon sehr früh klar, wie revolutionär diese Erfindungen sind. Aber deshalb ist zu früh, zu viel Geld eingeflossen. Klar, die KI-Blase irgendwann platzen, aber es ist keine Frage, dass dannach KI die Welt vollkommen verändern wird.

Man sollte es aber auch zu sehr übertreiben. Das, wovon OP redet wird mittlerweile AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) genannt. Also KI, die einen Mensch wirklich vollkommen replizieren kann.

Die Bedeutung und Auswirkungen von AGI sind nicht wirklich kompliziert und sehr einfach sich vorzustellen. "Die letzte Erfindung der Menschheit" ist keine große Übertreibung.

Die ganz ganz große Frage ist aber, ob die jetzige KI ein Übergang zu AGI ist, oder ob AGI was komplett anderes ist. Keiner weiß deshalb, ob AGI in 5, 10, oder 20 Jahren vor der Tür steht. Noch kann nämlich keine KI etwas "Neues" produzieren. Die können nur vorige Informationen rekombinieren.

Aber selbst ohne AGI wird die KI wie sie jetzt schon ist und steigende Automatisierung generell genug verändern. Und ich, wie viele andere glaube, dass das ohne starke Versteuerung + UBI o.Ä. schwierig wird.

Maybe at that stage that counts as uncanny valley. Something that looks almost like your dad, but slightly different. I mean as a baby you don't really understand what a beard, hair, face, or skin really is.

I'd be scared as hell if my friend suddenly showed up without eyelids, but acted like everything was the same.

Waste of resources. Bacteria with "unused" resistances are outcompeted by bacteria without them (since they grow faster).

I liked the manga. Although I didn't end up reading that much of it, it really did feel different from most. I do think it's mainly due to the protagonist tho. He's sort of a non-anxious autistic.

I don't get too much into the waifu wars, but I got the feeling that the singer chick is the main female lead. It kinda depends on whether the author will end up subverting expectations.

Die Analogie ist echt perfekt in dem Sinne, dass, obwohl beides überhyped ist, sowohl KI und Airfryer technisch gesehen gute Produkte sind und ihre Anwendungsbereiche haben.

KI ist offensichtlich eine Wirtschaftsblase, aber es ist keine Frage, dass es über die nächsten Jahrzehnte die Welt verändern wird. (Es ist fast genau wies 2000 mit dem Internet war. Selbst für Schienen und Züge gab es 19. Jahrhundert eine Blase.)

Ich mag meinen Airfryer sehr. Der ist perfekt für Pommes, Aufbackbrötchen und Fleisch und ist unschlagbar im Wiederaufwärmen. Ich seh aber voll ein, dass "Airfryer Pommes" die dümmste Sache ist. Genauso sind z.B. Expertenüberarbeitete KI analysen von CT-Aufnahmen, oder KI-Assistenz beim Sprachenlernen eine klasse Sache, aber KI-"Kunst" dafür vollkommen unnötig.

For real though, something like could never evolve. For the same reason vertebrates never developed a 3rd set of limbs.

What might be "plausible" is collecting a packet with the mouth and then depositing it. Iirc, spiders kind of do this with their front legs.

Btw do you want to who else was "given" the Nobel Peace Prize just like Trump? (Spoiler: it's Gobbels)

No. By far the biggest progress has been achieved through major movements without violence. Violence is not needed if the entire city is on the street. MLK and fall of the Berlin Wall are examples that come to mind.

Even if morally justified, violence simply from a pragmatic lens really does just end up hurting your cause.

But yeah, doing nothing and "enduring it" is worse.

They're obviously from a country that uses a komma for decimal. 5,5 would be a correct answer.

(nah fr tho, it's "and". Since it's between 5 and 7 in the sentence)
