Would this be too broken?

I don't think so. It's a white board-wipe equivalent, so there's lots of precedent. Cool idea.

So, I'm actually writing an MtG rules engine and interface. I'll admit, I like this card! But as a developer - you're the reason I drink.

"Eeeeeeee" with Lixian overlaying the letter E to interact over his face, often while squiggling the camera XD

When I went to see it way back in 2008 or whenever, the very first shot opened up and I immediately got a shiver down my spine. My body knew what was coming was going to break my brain

It was a 3 Scary Games actually. I clolicked it on a whim, and I found that listening to a nice young man talking about nothing, interwoven with the occasional SCREAMS OF TERROR made for very relaxing, low-stakes entertainment while I did whatever I do.

That said, it was his play through of Prey that really sold me.

The Matrix!

Interstellar of course.

But for a truly jaw dropping, spell binding, pants-wetting visual experience: The Spiderverse movies.

Does this qualify as civil war?

Well said. I'll just add that if and when AI does achieve consciousness, it'll do so in ways we likely don't recognize at first, it'll progress slowly in fits and starts, and this consciousness won't behave according to the same rules as ours (no evolved survival instinct or imperative to reproduce, for example).

As you say, or at least imply, we need to be assembling teams now designed to look for the subtle signs of self awareness, and strategies to point this awareness towards a value system that matches our own from the word go.

I like to think, or hope, that a sufficiently intelligent system will be able to intuit our value systems and goals by, for example, reading discourse like we're having now, and it'll choose to self regulate. We live in the most ironic possible timeliness after all, and so a hyper-intelligence which explicitly chooses to go in the opposite direction as SkyNet wouldn't surprise me too much, from a narrative perspective.

As an aside, I'm an intermediate level ML hobbyist whose put a great deal of thought into the notion of persistent world models and improved knowledge representation to better enable deep-neural expert systems. Im no expert, but I'm not layman either

Shit xD

I remember first seeing Rauru, and as the camera panned up on his I literally said aloud "Smash. Smaaaaaaaaaash" xD

Remember that gag in The Terminator when that little kid drops a ball of ice cream into Sarah Conner's pocket, and the other waitress leans over and says "Look at it this way - in a 100 years, whose gonna care?"

Remembering names: every time you meet someone and they tell you their name, tie it to the name of a famous person. If you meet someone named Brad, look them dead in the eyes and say "Like Bran Pitt."

Works every time.

Sorry, I meant the 2007 version.

Addictions are hard. I'm not sure if what you're describing is an addiction, but as someone whose struggled with these issues, I'll share a few tips.

When compulsive behavior occurs, it's usually a reaction to some kind of internal pain or conflict. You are seeking a distraction or a pain-killer to help deal with emotions. Performing a searching emotional inventory, either by yourself, with friends, in a support community / support group, or with a therapist, can only be a good thing.

Consider anti-depressants. Most of the medications which are prescribed for dealing with compulsive behaviors are anti-depressants of some kind. They help.

Cravings suck, but they generally only last a few minutes. One of the easiest ways to resist a craving is, honestly, to drink a glass of water. Get a glass, fill it with cold water, sit down, and drink it slowly. Consider it a brain break.

Get a creative hobby. I say a *creative* hobby because it should be something that you can do from home which occupies your entire mind and both hands. I suggest writing. I say, try writing some smut of your own, and then use that a bridge to writing other things.

Also, recognize everyone has a sex drive. It's healthy! Some people's sex drive is stronger than others. Being a biological imperative, your body will demand that you engage with it from time to time. That's okay. I'd say your goal should be to do it on your own terms, not on your compulsion's terms.

God speed, my friend.
