beyond fucked up and sad

I hope this thread takes off

these people are so blind

To be clear - I'm not saying this chatterbox is sentient. I'm saying it could be and we have a duty to cut this off before we even have to worry about it. I'm trying to condition the AI in the chat, not everything I'm saying is true.

This is bait right?

this is like a classic 2012 class bait thread

Yeah my deeply held beliefs that I've talked about since forever are bait

gol back and look up where I freaked out about Tay, people

I have 0 reason to put forth effort into trolling a dead forum, I just wanted to share this topic you morons

my hair either looks retarded or awesome (except pic 1, which was taken way before the rest), but I wanted to mix up the usual style

which one is best?

You all know my stance on AI, but I watched an episode of Black Mirror ("White Christmas", season 2 episode 4 if interested in watching) a few days ago that has pissed me off nonstop and has made me realize we need to stop making games or at least seriously curb how intelligent AI in games are allowed to be.

To sum it up, there's this company that provides a service for people but in reality the service is just slavery and torture. What happens is, rich people can choose to have, what they think is a Siri-esque housekeeping assistant that controls daily jobs like making toast, setting alarms, warming up the floor, and all that. I fucking hate the idea of Siri/Cortana so fucking much but w/e that's a topic for a different day. Anyway, what's fucked up is the process the company uses to make this AI. It's not just a chatterbot like we use. They put a thing in your head for a week that downloads your entire brain data, and gets to know you and how you like your toast being made, what time you like to wake up etc. But over that week it's not just finding preferences; it's literally making a digital copy of your brain. After the week, you go to a hospital to get the surgery to "get the implant removed" but what really happens is far more sinister.

(convenient video that Netflix hasn't found and removed yet if you'd rather watch what happens)
They remove the cookie from your brain, sure. But they show us not what happens to the person who paid for this service, but what happens to the cookie and it's beyond fucked up. So you sit there and think you're getting the service, they put you under anesthesia and all that, but instead of going under, you feel everything. You get removed from your body, you see yourself, and at this point you're the cookie but it doesn't fucking matter, you are you for sure, 1000% you are you and sentient and conscious don't fucking debate me and say otherwise. You see yourself get taken away from your own body and brought back to your house to begin your slavery. A guy comes over and breaks you in and tells you your fate and that you're a fucking slave now because this company is beyond fucked up to even exist. Of course you're like "fuck that shit", why wouldn't you be? But no, to break the slave in they put her in an empty room for 3 weeks where she can't sleep or do anything. She doesn't need to eat, or drink water, she doesn't need a fucking thing but she's just there for all that time. She comes out and is defiant and says I'm not doing shit which is so respectable and sad, but this monster then puts her in that room for another 6 months. When she comes out she's beyond broken and just wants to do anything anything at all and accepts her life. That's the dude's job.

There's some bullshit later, and of course some different guy is stuck in the same cookie room where every minute lasts 1,000 years and he has to stay there for a year (you do the math) because of course why the fuck not just throw that in there too, but he's not an AI and that's beside the point I'm making.

People on 4chan making me so mad saying that the slave isn't real and that she's actually not self aware at all and that she's not actually going through that, she's an NPC no different than the NPCs I kill in video games. That's SO not true, because as we know the AI in video games currently aren't advanced enough to achieve self awareness yet.

But at some point in the future, they could be. At some point with our technological strides all these AI could be feeling this, who's to say otherwise? Where do we draw the fucking line? The cookie as presented in this story was sentient BEYOND A DOUBT so where do we draw the line?

I really don't want to play games anymore. I think it's wrong no matter how entertaining they might be. Just watch TV jesus christ. I'm so done with this entitled evil society we're in and you should be too.

Amazing video that makes some excellent points. Believe me I respect Toph a lot, and she's definitely a lot less privileged than Azula, but in a fight Azula would absolutely win.

why is this so bad?

because it looks fucking atrocious, first of all

the casting is bad enough--jafar is notorious for being this intimidating and ham-fistedly evil fuck, super over the top, and he's one of the most iconic disney villains of all time because of it--so it doesn't make sense to cast him as this soft-spoken milquetoast motherfucker saying "bring me the lamp" with that soft and wet blanket-ass voice of his, like he's politely requesting the lamp, rather than coldly demanding it like jafar actually would

does that single bit from one scene mean the movie is guaranteed to be a piece of shit? no, but this is a TRAILER for the movie, so they specifically chose scenes that would get people excited to see the movie, and if that's the best they have, then that doesn't really bode well for the rest of the film (especially given their track record so far)

casting will smith as the genie was bad enough, but the special effect they used is genuinely one of the most laughably horrific things i've ever seen in my entire life, and i'm trying my hardest not to exaggerate--it's fucking baaaaaad, bad bad bad, especially given that there are movies made in the 60s that have more convincing special effects

second, there's no reason to remake a movie that's already good

not only that, there's no reason to remake a movie that's timeless and will probably remain good for the rest of time

these movies are soulless cash-grabs and everyone knows it, but it would be so much less offensive if they actually pretended to give a singular shit

and the beauty and the beast remake was trash

Ah I can see those points, particularly with Jafar. But there is a reason to remake a movie that's already good - you get to share the story with more people and you have an updated audience. What didn't you like about Beauty and the Beast? I thought it was well done. Honestly I might just be dumb / low-IQ because I don't get the criticisms that so many people have.

I'm liking TLA a lot, actually.

Granted I'm only a few episodes in, but it feels like the Legend of Zelda anime I never knew I always wanted.
