To be honest, if I got another Reach I'd just give up.

What a dumbass. He could have spent way less money just buying a bunch of bricks, and it would have the same effect.

His mistake to make.

Got one chance to take.

Serious / Re: Would extremely advanced AI find existence pointless?
« on: November 12, 2014, 09:42:00 AM »
If anything, I think it'd be curious. Curious to learn more. Learn the reason behind all of it.
No wall of text?

I hate you too.

I've been over these talks one too many times. This is a road well traveled by me. So I'm just passing through here for the sake of simplicity.

We're intelligent to some degree, and look how curious we are. Other intelligent animals, Elephants, Dolphins, Apes, are just as curious.

An AI would likely follow the same path, albeit farther along than we are.
Why would it? Can AI develop curiosity? That's what I'm asking. If it would find existence pointless, because it hasn't evolved like us and doesn't have that will to survive.

Follow the dotted lines here. With intelligence comes a little more, even if the intelligence is alien to our own. Our will to survive has nothing to do with our curiosity.

In fact, our curiosity is so great, because of our minds, that it overrides our will to survive. Constantly, we perform acts that go agaisnt our very survival, sometimes all in the name of fun and entertainment.
True, but the question is can it develop curiosity?

And my point with the phrase "will to survive", was that we don't find existence pointless, but a machine that doesn't have what we and animals have might find existence pointless. I'm just wondering.

I can't give a rightful answer because we have nothing to compare it with. However, if we look at things logically, it's safe to assume that anything intelligent, especially sentient, would develop traits of it's own.

Look at animals for instance. Elephants, dogs, cats. They all have personalities. And it's irrefutable. They have distinct personalities, actions, likings, dislikes. And supposedly, they're below us on the scale of intelligence.

Therefore, something like an advanced AI would likely develop something to call its own as well. Untill it actually happens, I can't say for sure. But looking at what we currently have as examples says yes to me.

Cereal makes it worse. Nothing a little bit of ice, orange juice, milk, and vanilla won't fix.

Ask yourself.

How fun is being sick? Do you really have a party when you're sitting over a toilet horking your guts out? When you're burning up and you open up a fucking window and it doesn't help even if it's cold as shit outside?

Folks these days are too keen on accepting bullshit. Colds are part of that. It's fucking shitty to be sick.

So, you do what you can. You try to avoid being sick. Whether it be through vaccine or taking a lot of care.

I'd be fucking fine with this. At least I'd have the MCC in some form.

Not to mention, mods would finally be a reality in Halo 3 on the PC.

Don't forget the Gmod/Source Filmmaker community ports. It'd be a new age for machinima.

The Flood / You folks wanna know why I'm such a homey kind of guy?
« on: November 11, 2014, 02:14:25 PM »
Today I'm an ambulance driver. Something's up with my brother in law, and it's bad enough that he can't drive himself to the hospital.

He got set on fire last year and still had it in him to go driving himself to the hospital. So whatever got dumped on him at the moment, ain't good.

So, off I go. It's -15 outside, the wind knocks it down to -23, the roads are closed in snow and ice, and I have no snow tires because I'm poor as fuck.

Have fun with your day folks. Imma going ice skating.

« on: November 11, 2014, 12:04:05 PM »
Weren't you, say, I don't know, stating that you had no fucks to give when pigs fly last night?

You weren't particularily happy with 343's direction so you decided not to give a fuck and a half? What's this then?

I always liked the mongoose chestpiece on default armour, but then again, I won't ever lay my hands on the game anyway. And as far as I know, you won't either. No point in complainin' against what you don't have. And if you do have it, well then fuck, if you hate it so much, just pass your Xbox Juan down to me and I'll gladly take the spoopy game off your hands.

True, I didn't give a fuck, but I honestly never thought that they'd reduce Halo 3 and 4 this low in a million years.

Yes, it's just in game armor, but if that's what EVERYONE is saying now, then the community is one big hypocrite.

Remember how "Flaming Recon" was a big fucking deal?

All I'm saying is they could have left 3 and 4 untouched but nope.

Now the 360 version is gonna die out for good as far as Halo 3 goes.

Yeah well join the club. We've all gotta go sometimes right? Nothing lasts forever.

The Halo community's gotten a bit older these past years.

That's what comes with time. Change. Doesn't always mean it's for the better though.

So sit back, take it easy, and go fishing with your fucks.

Fuck 'em, the scum deserve to come back in body bags and I can't wait until tomorrow when all this butcher praising is over.

Stole a poppy and lit that bastard up.

That's your inheritance talkin'

Both sides were in the wrong. Both sides did wrong. But we're here today because of it. It may not be perfect, but what we have would have likely been better than the alternative.
No that's what the British Armed Forces did to my people talkin'

If remembrance day was just to remember the somme then fair enough, but it's to remember soldiers who died in all wars and to hold them up as heroes, but their is nothing heroic about gunning innocent civilians down in the streets and sending loyalist hit squads to the houses of catholics to be burned alive.

Fuck remembrance day, every dead soldier and those who hold the butchers as heroes.

I won't hold it against ya. We've all got our own set of views on the way things work. But you don't have to neccessarily conform to what the day is about. I myself see it as an appreciation and a wake up call to things we have to lose. Of that we have a lot of.
Well I don't see how it ca still be about "those who defend our freedom", yeah they DID defend freedom when Hitler had his European tour but the west hasn't been threatened as severely since, sure there was the russian/american dick sizing and the bands of cave dwellers who like to blow themselves up but theres not been another big bad guy... well a big bad threat (there are plenty of scummy countries *cough* Israel). Then again there is America....

Anyway point is, the Nazis our gone, the Allies won, lets stop pretending all the wars since WW2 are about "our freedom" and the soldiers who invade other countries are "defending".

There's a reason why I said WWII was essentially the last great conflict. All wars since then have had strings in the background. Motivations beyond simply defending.

But, that's the way things are. I can't change that. But I can choose who I pay my respects to and why.

realize just how fast it can be taken from you.
I don't know if I'd go that far. It's not like America will fall in a matter of days if we were attacked.

Nope. But what I said relates to more than just living on your countries ground. Your comforts, your lifestyle, everything you hold dear can be flipped upside the head in the snap of a finger. And we forget that. We forget how much it is that we walk on a tightrope, waiting for it to snap from the strain.
I disagree. I don't believe our way of life and regular conveniences are that fragile and are able to be lost at a moment's notice.

Then let's hope it never happens to ya.
