though eventually if i wanna start building a career around video games, i'm gonna have to start playing everything indiscriminately
that time is not now though, i don't have the money or time to spend on games i know i'm not gonna be into 3303

You won't like Homecoming. Ragnarok might be worth a watch.
Maybe check out GotG or GotG2 if you haven't seen them, but that's all you really "need" that's left I think. 3309
The Flood / Re: Justice for Tay« on: April 27, 2018, 02:24:45 PM »
the jury is still out on whether viruses are alive, actually, but even then, "life" alone is still a far cry from sentience
even if an AI were to meet all the criteria for what we typically consider life—homeostatic, cellular, environmentally adaptive, responsive to stimuli, capable of reproduction, etc—that's still a far cry from sentience, and its life would be more akin to a fungus, plant, or insect (at best) than a sentient organism that feels and perceives subjectively 3311
The Flood / Re: Justice for Tay« on: April 27, 2018, 11:38:30 AM »How can you claim with so much certainty that Tay wasn't sentient or at least wasn't in the beginning steps of acquiring sentienceif it was in the "beginning steps" of acquiring sentience, then its comparable to a fetus, which you wouldn't think twice about aborting (not that you should) sentience is the ability to experience feelings—feelings are what allow sentient life forms like us to make decisions based on our subjective perceptions of reality; we evolved over 6 million years to be this way, and it's a very complex biological algorithm that we could not come close to replicating in a faster amount of time on our own solonoid put this in a pretty good way above furthermore, there's ways to test whether a creature has sentience—having a central nervous system that allows you to feel things like pain is one of the core things you need (and what disqualifies things like plants, which is why you're a fucking moron if you think plants feel pain in any morally significant way) i can write up the code for a simple script that is programmed to display the word "OUCH" in big red letters whenever i click on a button that has the word "Punch" displayed on it—does that mean i'm hurting the computer program whenever i press that button? of course not, i just programmed it to perform a very basic task—just because we associate the word "ouch" with pain doesn't mean that there's something in pain whenever we see or hear it, it's just a word what you're doing right now is unduly personifying this AI when there's no real logic behind it, just an emotional kneejerk reaction—which is normal, if you've ever looked at an eagle's face and thought "man, why do eagles look so angry all the time," that's also kinda the same thing the eagle only looks angry to us because we associate narrowed brows and thousand-yard-stares with anger there's also a phenomenon called pareidolia, which is the human tendency to see faces in everything—have you ever looked at a car and thought it had a face? it obviously doesn't, but the way the headlights, grill, and bumper are positioned just make it look that way, because the human mind is very adept at facial recognition to the point where it sees faces where there aren't any—it's a survival instinct, so that we're able to recognize people instantly these are all basic forms of personification or anthropomorphism—the human tendency to project their feelings onto things, even if they objectively don't have feelings i can smash a rock and you'l feel nothing, but if i draw a happy face on the rock and put it aside a bunch of other smaller rocks with happy faces on them, you might actually feel something if i smashed it that time—it's just kinda how we are our brains love to feel, and it loves to find excuses to feel all the time does any of this mean Tay wasn't sentient? no, but it should point you in the right direction if you use your brain and think about it—Tay was an extremely primitive AI, relatively speaking, and is ultimately a more complex and sophisticated version of the simple script i designed earlier you have no more reason to believe tay was sentient than you do a rock or a piece of plastic 3312

anyway even if we did create a sentient AI the only ethical thing to do would be to immediately destroy it (for its own good)
it would be better, obviously, to not even attempt to create a sentient AI—but in the event that it happens, there's nothing unethical about aborting it, because it's only being mercifully delivered from a merciless world 3314

i would call you a stupid dumbass for calling it a "sentient being" but you barely qualify as a sentient being yourself, given that you're just playing a character

i also moved out and got a job that actually pays me money
which is a good thing because making money is super important, because it's super important making money means you're a productive person, and being a productive person is very good everybody should be a productive person by that rigid standard and fuck anyone who isn't this all makes me so happy and fulfilled too, which is what life is all about 3318

did i mention that i'm on happy pills i mean medication now
totally solves all my problems too not like they're based more on the outside world and the iniquities of life itself rather than my personal life, or anything i just took these pills and suddenly i'm not living on planet earth anymore oh wait i still am but at least i'm at peace with it or something and that's what everyone needs to do if they're depressed right and then everything that sucks about life won't suck anymore 3319

so one of the things i've learned about life after this journey is that life is incredible and totally worth it
putting one of my body parts inside of another person's body parts wreaked havoc on the entire foundation of my worldview, and as a result, all the things i once hated about life because of how fundamentally broken, unfair, and miserable it all seemed, i have completely changed my mind on ALL of it i can't believe how immature i was to think that life was anything short of a beautiful gift, and i can't wait to belittle anyone who doesn't appreciate what they've been given suffice to say, i'm no longer depressed, and finding the cure was as simple as putting my penis inside of a vagina—and i hope you too, anyone reading this right now, if you find yourself in a dark place, if you're ailed with crippling anxiety, if you feel uncomfortable in your skin, if sleeping is the best part of your day, if you have no sense of purpose, if you hate everything and the whole world around you, or if you hate virtually every aspect of your life, or perhaps just life itself, fret no longer, my friends—take this advice, and if you play your cards right, it will solve everything: just stop being a fucking loser and get laid, it's literally that easy 3323

people who dislike the word "gamer" and insist that you don't use it are too silly
presumably, we need to have some simple and straightforward descriptor for people who play video games as a hobby, right? but if "gamer" is so terribly bothersome, you're going to be hard-pressed to find a simpler and more straightforward alternative 3326
