I think that about a lot of vibe-coded games, most of the ones I see posted here are barely playable and rudimentary at best. And as propaganda games go, these aren't even very clever.

Apart from the references to Allah, that paragraph and the ones that follow are practically indistinguishable from the beliefs of many evangelical and conservative Christians, that America is an evil and secular empire corrupted by sin and

You're the one who was claiming most Africans were hut-dwelling hunter-gatherers earlier. I'm not the one minimizing anything or anyone, just stop it.

by krapp 1mo ago
Africa comprises an entire continent. There are not large portions of it (or "large swaths") where people still live as hunter-gatherers living in mud huts, for any reasonable definition of "large portion."

by krapp 1mo ago
The vast majority of Africans aren't hunter-gatherers living in mud huts. They have actual cities with highways and skyscrapers and everything.

No matter how smart AI gets, it's still a product of the physical universe and thus bound to physical laws and limits. It cannot be infinitely intelligent, it cannot be all-powerful, it cannot transcend physical reality. It cannot be c

Do you have anything to add other than snark? Can you demonstrate how the scene you mentioned provides a "stress test" for modern real life AI policy? What lessons should Mamdani take from that scene and how should he apply it to

No one on Star Trek was "stress-testing" anything of the sort. Stress-testing only works in reality, where the stresses are also real, or even in a simulation of reality. Star Trek is neither, it's just fantasy. It doesn&#x27

Star Trek isn't plausible. Free energy isn't possible. Matter replication isn't possible. Teleportation and faster than light travel aren't possible. You can't simply out-think and out-pluck the laws of physics. edi

I get the joke but it really should be. It's enough money for a good life and some measure of luxury, and presumably it will force prices down so things like housing will become more affordable, but it isn't enough to buy governme

Yes, it is. Racial essentialism, xenophobia and white supremacy are all fascist. Praising and supporting right-wing extremists is fascist. Believing in ethnic cleansing and that non-whites need to be forcibly removed is fascist. Believing a

Hyperbole is as useless to productive conversation as strawmen and one is usually just an excuse to prop up the other. Maybe you could tell us what, specifically, the author refers to as fascist that you don't consider to be fascist?
