You should do the only thing that has historically made conditions better for the average person.

Violent revolution.

Are you familiar with the concept of subjectivity?

I’m really not sure you are.

Fucking same. When I first learned compass directions, I mistakenly thought east was left and carried that habit for years and now I can’t unlearn it.

But things I know others struggled with learning as children I got right away and didn’t need to use any tricks to get. Like using your thumb and forefinger as the less than sign and turning your hand so it’s an L for “less than”. And I know some people who need to use that trick to remember which one is which as adults still.

Bizarre how the brain works.

You just learned that 1000 times 1000 is a million?

That’s mildly concerning.

I think these things are generally pretty regional.

and hospitals are legally required to treat their patients using actual, FDA-approved medical practices/procedures.

For now.

I get where you’re coming from, and being hurt that way is completely valid.

But, your statement assumes you are the only person on the planet like that. If you’re willing put someone else before you, unless you’re completely unique, there is absolutely people out there with those exact traits, who would do the exact same for you. Obviously that’s not an easy thing to find, and I understand your cynicism.

That’s very interesting.

I agree that it’s very possible, likely even, that the Christian seven deadly sins were heavily influenced by virtue ethics, the golden mean, etc. But the statement “the seven deadly sins predates Christianity” doesn’t feel right imo.

While yes, the concept of virtues, identifying and espousing them definitely predate Christianity, the “seven deadly sins” is a very specific thing. While similar, they aren’t the same so you cant really say that the concept of the seven deadly sins existed specifically before it was developed and spread by Christianity.

I don’t think you’re trying to say that the seven deadly sins specifically predate Christianity, just that the concept of identifying negative and detrimental traits and behaviours do. But it’s easy to think you are conflating those at a glance. (Or maybe you are, I don’t actually know.)

Do you have a proper substantive source for the seven deadly sins predating Christianity?

I’m legitimately curious here, because I can’t find anything that supports that claim.

What are you talking about? You do realise this is the country that elected Trump twice, right?

You have no sense of wonder or imagination, do you? We have been making robots for decades, and this is the first time we have ever made humanoid ones which is able to outperform actual humans in this way. At last year’s robot games, the highest one was able to jump was under a meter, and now they can beat the human world record of 2.45 meters.

That’s absolutely phenomenal engineering, and it’s completely reductive to equate it to completely different technologies that exist to solve completely different problems. It’s phenomenal in the same way that it was phenomenal when we created the first chess bot that a human was unable to defeat.

Most doesn’t mean or imply more than half, its the largest group, or greatest in quantity, biggest piece, etc.

I think it’s supposed to be you see less AI posts because they’ve improved to the point that it’s harder to tell what is and isn’t AI.

Are you unfamiliar with the concept of an implication? Within the common cultural context of the English speaking internet, the implication of that statement is very clear. And just making that implication, is in of itself a judgement.

For example: “you would look good in some cement shoes” without cultural context, that doesn’t imply very much. With the cultural context/understanding that many of us have, that’s a death threat.

Why would they do that if they can make more money the way they did it, while facing no consequences?

You can’t seperate the technology from the company in this case. The complete violation of privacy is baked into the technology with no way to seperate it. The companies practices are baked into the technology with no way to seperate it. Which also applies to most technologies.

If you think we can/should seperate the technology from the company that makes it, you’re incredibly naive. The privacy violations are an inherent feature of the technology itself.

Because male nurses are uncommon and in that specific circumstance female is the default that most people assume.

If your only measure of success is wealth, that’s kind of sad.

We’re not speaking Icelandic right now. Should I randomly put Japanese katakana in english sentences just because it’s テchnically phonetically コrrect?
