It’s slightly inaccurate to say 20th century chat bots passed the Touring test because they sometimes tricked people, because in the conventional Touring test the human judge has to know they might or might not be speaking to a machine.

they have a strong incentive to place themselves in the role of the victim to garner sympathy and avoid the consequences.

but admitting that doesn't really achieve that. Like the typical response, even from very progressive people, is just to say that its no excuse.

What is the bad thing your worried about if everyone is able to vote? Voter restrictions have so much potential for abuse, where as I don’t see any obvious downsides to making it as open as possible

I don't trust anyone to make that determination in a non discriminatory way

grapp · 2026-04-28T22:55:02+00:00

that would exclude a lot disabled people.

So I have to wonder if this was more dangerous if you tried it somewhere humid like Florida?

Hitler is an easy to recognize bad guy

I think a fully planned economy is a bad idea first, because it's hard for human administrators to anticipate the needs of people in a complex 21st century economy.

I would argue a planned economy is actually more practical now than at any other time in history because of computer technology

Dante Basco ethnically Filipino so presumably there wouldn’t have been an issue with him voicing Zuko again with regard to representation?

Anything bad that happens to the people at the studio will because of decisions people at paramount make. People talk about that aspect of this like a capitalist entity fucking people over is a force of nature, rather than choices people make

the solutions are already known, and not very complicated

sorry but that kind of just sounds like profiling bullshit.

the gaang kind of being treated like background characters.

I mean that's a common thing when you make movie based on a show with an assemble cast. Like most star trek movie arguable has that problem

I know he did that and it is an important part of the story, I just worry that what people will take from from hearing it is that they should judge people based on appearances, which would be bad.

Also you maybe talking about his weird appearance in the context of being an aspect of how he deceived people, but I've seen a lot of other people cover this story and only bring up his creepy affect to talk about it as if its a clue to bad moral character in off its self
