It is basically 100x better at providing accurate and succinct responses to simple questions than a google search is nowadays. Trying to get it to explain things or provide facts about things is dubious, but so is a huge majority of the cra

The entire overarching genre is often called speculative fiction, so your description of it is sort of accurate. Writing would be in a sorry state if the only stuff that got put out had to answer its own questions.

sounds like there’s an interesting compare and contrast to be made with the US at around the same time?

It’s writing. It’s all self indulgence anyway.

Sounds legit, but also reads like good fanfic without anything provided for external confidence.

It can generate never-before-seen strings of comprehensible language. It can react to the inherent logic embedded in words and text and provide a brute forced version of what a human could. That it can “solve” a problem only through “cheati

Glaring problem with this approach in a world of instant gratification is the seriously delayed, ungauranteed payoff. And plenty of poisonous ideologies out there that are equally convincing to dad telling you you’ll meet someone if you foc

I worked remote for a few years before the pandemic and the sense of isolation was definitely pervasive. But that’s not because of remote work or remote relationships alone having some inherent isolating quality. Several of my closest frien

Well, yeah. In the same sense that all songs are just the same stuff dressed differently because there are finite musical notes. Doesn’t really take away from the majesty of music.

What’s the state got to do with it? This is all markets.

I think you’d get this problem, monopoly or not, whenever cost saving measures are in place (and they always are, for good reason) at the customer-interface level. Maybe there should always be a hidden option that only people that meet a ce

Who wants to get to work sweaty and stinky though?

It’s my impression and experience that it’s far more directly built into language than metabolic processes, though certainly I see where you’re coming from. Shutting up for a long time is a pretty good way to test your comfort level with su

Yes, but I assure you the pink slip won’t mention anything about how the employee should have worked free overtime to fix their mistake. These things all vary considerably based on the type of employment. The only thing I’m arguing is sema

Sounds like you sacrificed your time to make things right! Good on you!

Sure it is. Fucking up is part of a job. If you’re working 9-5 on the clock, you don’t have to fix shit after 5. Choosing to stick around to fix your mistake off hours without pay when you could do it the next day or take comp time later is

There is a significant pillar of free trade called “grifting” that this seems to ignore.

It’s all research - it’s just that when you get a taste of the money, the trend is often to lean heavy towards more of it. Wasteful, frivolous curiosity often falls into the rear view.

My bad. Took offense to the notion that there’s nothing courageous about taking bricks out from the foundation of your master’s house. Do you see a way to this goal without destruction?

This take certainly feels like a perspective only someone entrenched in organized religion could put forward. It is far more courageous, progressive, empowering, and inspirational for a victim of abuse to actively identify and oust their ab

The universe has no ethics. Humanity has no ethics inherent, besides that which is directly encoded in our dna. That doesn’t mean it’s not good/useful for people to have ethics. That doesn’t mean it’s not a meaningful pursuit, to peopl

/r/conservative is a shining example of moderators defining the culture of their subreddit by deleting comments and posts with an extremely heavy hand.

Fart around in the free section of itch.io and you’ll likely see you’ve just been playing too many games people are trying to sell you.
