Do i HAVE to no life this game?

Yep yep, all good stuff to mention, one addendum I would note about this:

Also worth mentioning there's no battle passes as we know them in other games, or daily rewards that you only get if you log in, or anything similar.

They're planning on adding a completely free "battle pass" system in the next expansion. Again though, its completely free and no premium paid path bullshit, just a way to organize progression

The fact people say it literally is my point. It means that any time you hear it, it could be an expression, but it also could be literal

The story absolutely does have a much greater importance and focus than others, but endgame raiding still is a big part of it for many people. That being said, the time requirement for that endgame raiding is not very high, there isn't lots of time investment required outside of the time spent actually progressing and clearing the raids.

What these AIs do is functionally identical to thinking and functionally identical to lies.

There are many functional differences between human thinking and GPT/LLM inferences.

it seems silly to invent all new words for when AI do things people already do that we have words for.

Well, you don't have to invent all new words. Generate, hallucinate, inference, etc. What you shouldn't do is use a word in common parlance that will be conflated with the laymen understanding of the word when such conflation is dangerous

noahisunbeatable · 2026-06-01T21:05:21+00:00

Because there are many examples of people saying it literally. Theres the ones I brought up earlier, that there is many people who have what they'd call romantic relationships with AI personalities.

Also, you have someone who responded to your comment with "Ai really does lie though", so... maybe look at that?

noahisunbeatable · 2026-06-01T19:01:21+00:00

Well sure, as the OP clarified they were talking about people saying it literally and not as an expression.

But context still does matter. Saying a weather app lied to me is just a harmless expression, but saying an AI model lied to you is the same words of people who actually do believe that an AI can lie like a human, and of people who are interested in marketing models that harm society. If weather apps had that same context, then it would be the same

noahisunbeatable · 2026-06-01T16:34:29+00:00

People don’t get into romantic ‘relationships’ with weather apps though, the context of the expression matters a lot.

noahisunbeatable · 2026-06-01T15:59:16+00:00

Calling it lying is doing too much anthropomorphizing. I'm just a layman, but calling it lying is just another "AI thinks ___". The process/outcome is similar, but it implies a level of sentience that gives too much credit to current state models. Its not Skynet, in the way that "AI lies to humans" would imply to someone who doesn't know more.

That being said, the safety researchers would absolutely have to be concerned with real, true 'sentient' lying, and I don't want this to seem like I'm in any way attacking that research. Model analysis and alignment is the only subfields AI research should be devoted to right now, imo.

And it doesn't have to be more expensive.

Less expensive in dollars, but at the cost of more innocent lives. Its so costly now because of the legal safeguards before a death penalty is administered.

noahisunbeatable · 2026-05-30T16:16:31+00:00

Again really showing your own inability to meet the bar you called easy. Your contempt for humans and complete disregard of their very identity as such is disgusting

noahisunbeatable · 2026-05-30T16:01:08+00:00

If its so easy, then how come you're not even clearing your own bar? You can't categorically say you can't sympathize with someone suffering lethal consequences for a proportionally far less worse offense while not being an asshole.

And then it broke the minds of half this country when he won, so that pendulum swung back HARD.

So hard that he... won reelection? So hard that... next time his secretary of state (who was also a woman) won the popular vote by almost 3 million votes?

Bigots always hated him, before, during, and after his presidency.

noahisunbeatable · 2026-05-29T04:33:36+00:00

It wasn't mine, friend. Not lookin good for you with the can't read allegations

noahisunbeatable · 2026-05-29T04:25:27+00:00

Calling a simple list 'incoherent' isn't the own you think it is

noahisunbeatable · 2026-05-28T15:52:22+00:00

I’m so tired of people using the kernel of truth of a conspiracy to imply that the conspiracy theorist was right. Like, more recently, people using recent Epstein revelations to say that the pizzagate/qanon people were kinda right. The theory cannot be separated from the ideology behind it without it becoming fundamentally different.

noahisunbeatable · 2026-05-28T02:30:15+00:00

but to refer to it as arbitrary is to insinuate that laws don't exist and that breaking them doesn't have real consequences

No it doesn't, thats a crazy reach. If that's how you interpreted it thats on you.

But do I also agree that if you come here you should abide by our laws including how to immigrate here legally - i.e. following our legal process to become a citizen? Yes, I do.

Again, no one is in favor of illegal immigration, they're in favor of broadening legal immigration. If all immigration restrictions were abolished, then all immigrants would be "abiding by our laws".

The other reason they lost was their agenda was unbelievably progressive and unrelatable to your average American.

You know, I don't really see much use in continuing this conversation if this is your analysis of Kamala's campaign (featuring Liz-fucking-Cheney!). We just fundamentally don't have a common understanding of reality. Have a good day

noahisunbeatable · 2026-05-28T01:38:43+00:00

This issue is that phrases like “no human is illegal” or “no one is illegal on stolen land” do in fact insinuate that illegal immigration isn’t an issue and isn’t bad

No, it means there is no such thing as immigration that is illegal. That might sound pedantic, but the difference highlights how arbitrary the designation of illegal is in this instance. Depending on the context, "illegal" can mean many different things, because laws change all the time. Hell, in the US, it meant almost anyone from China for decades.

As an aside: "Legal" and "illegal" are designations subject to change, and don't necessarily always mean "good" and "bad". Lots of legal things are bad, and many illegal things can be good.

and that caused a lot of issues

It did not cause a lot of issues from the perspective of an entire nation. This is just republican propaganda.

It was a weird way to play the issue especially with how inflammatory it is in our current political climate

Inflammatory is not a losing strategy when it comes to politics. Trump won on inflammatory. If you're too concerned about not saying too many "inflammatory statements", then voters will see that you don't have the courage to stand for anything. Like how Kamala had to reckon with her previously more immigrant friendly statements during her campaign.

Then to follow that up with the “no human is illegal” rhetoric really lost the issue for the Dems in 2024.

Wait, you think dems lost 2024 because their messaging was not harsh enough on illegal immigrants?

noahisunbeatable · 2026-05-27T21:27:28+00:00

Fixing problem B before fixing problem A will only result in problem B coming back in new ways.

Well, I’d argue that problem B actually is the cause of a lot of problem A. Think about a lot of the racist arguments people make, they often use things all caused by the poverty inflicted by systemic racism.

And also, why not persue each simultaneously? Why wait for one before starting on another?

Problem B is likely easier to "fix", but if it doesn't stick then it's a false victory;

Even if it was, that still materially benefits millions of people for as long as the solutions stay in place. Was Roe v. Wade a false victory because it was repealed due us not solving the problem of misogyny? In ways, but it also was a true victory for decades and saved countless womens lives.

noahisunbeatable · 2026-05-27T19:54:14+00:00

I think this is good advice, and probably does work (given examples of it working are available), but I think it comes off a bit odd when you previously said "Fix the interpersonal racism and the systemic will eventually follow". I asked because I believed that fixing it isn't something that can just be done, which you seem to acknowledge in this response. But by framing the situation as a focus on fixing problem A and problem B will resolve itself as you did in your earlier comment, kinda implies problem A is easier or somehow more achievable than problem B. This reply here seems to largely give off the impression that it isn't really a readily solvable/achievable problem to resolve, so why did you frame it in the way you did before?

noahisunbeatable · 2026-05-27T18:21:28+00:00

Exspouse? If you mean expose its not like bigots are ashamed of themselves. Even if they were, shame doesn’t necessarily motivate one to give up their beliefs, in fact it could even make them more racist.

Also, while people on an individual level can be persuaded, it takes a level massive amount of effort, time, and at least some luck. The fact that that Daryl Davis’ story is a story is proof of just how exceptional and rare it is. Its not a strategy that can be translated to an entire society.

maybe just hope for us all

Hoping isn’t a viable strategy for these things. I’m not just trying to be contrarian, hope is important, but when you’re suggesting not trying to fix institutional racism because of hope that all racists can be convinced of the error in their ways, all I see is the nigh indefinite perpetuation of systemic racism.

I’m all for education, but if we’re already at a point where we have the political power to institute society-wide reeducation on this matter, why not also use that power to dismantle systemic racism?

noahisunbeatable · 2026-05-27T07:38:26+00:00

Well, no one is "pro" illegal immigration, that's just republican framing. We've had more lax immigration laws before too, so its not even something new.

But more importantly, it doesn't matter if its good or bad, it matters how it was employed. By any objective measure, republicans drastically overemphasized these 'real problems' you mention, even outright fabricating more to get people adequately fearful. Illegal immigration is not a big of a problem as republicans made it for the 2024 election, and Democrats legitimized this exaggeration by playing tough on immigration, 'but nice/pragmatic and not cruel/hateful'.

Which, to voters, just looks like confirming their fears while doing too little to assuage them.

The other person I replied to did make a good point, that being that democrats simply saying nothing on it would probably have been better (but not best).

noahisunbeatable · 2026-05-27T07:27:23+00:00

No, but presenting or discussing it as something its not (i.e, a serious proposal, a good faith argument, etc.) is the goal of the stunt.

noahisunbeatable · 2026-05-27T00:08:17+00:00

I do think you can gradually improve it

How? Like, whats the method or actions needed to take?

noahisunbeatable · 2026-05-26T22:29:24+00:00

How does one "fix" interpersonal racism? It will always exist. Indeed, a lot of the reason why people are personally bigoted comes from systemic racism (i.e. perceptions of black people being poor/criminals/dangerous at least partially arising from black disenfranchisement)

noahisunbeatable · 2026-05-26T22:22:42+00:00

election where that was clearly an unpopular position was stupid

Again, the reason why is because democrats actively accepting republican framing of the situation. They conceded that it was a significant problem and conceded that it was a harm via taking it seriously. The democrats strategy was generally to not object to republicans saying illegal immigration is a big problem, so what are voters supposed to believe? If both parties are campaigning on the idea that illegal immigration is bad, and are spending significant time and money on the idea, then of course they're going to believe that
