- Comment on If God was real (just go with it), then how he's portrayed in the Bible might not even be how he actually is. 1 week ago:
Uh… yeah?
ALL those stories are based on previous stories.
I’m really not sure what your point is.

This doesn’t tell you anything if they were all derived from earlier stories – which, it turns out, is actually the case. We have the earlier stories as proof, in many cases.
- Comment on The Big Short Guy Just Bet $1 Billion That the AI Bubble Pops 2 weeks ago:
It’s a good thing trump isn’t dumb enough to think US debt is easily solved by printing more money, right?
Wouldn’t that be crazy?
(I really hope this isn’t something he can actually do. It shouldn’t be possible, but neither should a lot of things he’s done.)
- Comment on Are bots on lemmy? 3 weeks ago:
Lemmy does have value, because the demographics are a bit more focussed here compared to much larger but more mainstream platforms, not to mention that larger platforms like reddit are already so bot-infested, they start to interfere with each other. It’s so trivial to make and deploy bots now with LLMs, I’d be very surprised if there weren’t bots here.
I think the reason we don’t notice them as much here is the quality of moderation tends to be higher (on average, so far).

I’m an ugly bag of mostly water.
- Comment on Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales isn’t worried about Elon Musk’s Grokipedia: ‘Not optimistic he will create anything very useful right now’ 3 weeks ago:
It’s not about making something useful. He and a few others are cloning everything any of their cult might use to further fence them in from external information and entertainment.
They’re having a harder time in entertainment, because artists tend to be more liberal, but they’re gaining ground there, too. After a certain point, they’ll just radically censor everything else.

I could give you diarrhoea, or sepsis, or tetanus, your choice! I’m flexible and I don’t judge. I just love being inside you!

Oh! That does make sense now you say it.

Is this what I think it is? Or is it an eyepatch?

I’m kind of useless in the morning. Can we pencil it in for, like, 3?
- Comment on Japanese Government Calls on Sora 2 Maker OpenAI to Refrain From Copyright Infringement, Says Characters From Manga and Anime Are 'Irreplaceable Treasures' That Japan Boasts to the World 5 weeks ago:
I disagree, because I think all of these things address the wrong problem.
Individuals should be able to gain from their own inventions, and others shouldn’t be able to force them into poverty by stealing people’s IP. Corporations especially should not be incentivised to do that.
Then again, unfettered capitalism is geared towards incentivising corporations to do that.
The answer isn’t to weaken people’s already vanishing IP, but to change what’s incentivised. Also to stop treating corporations as people. They aren’t.

I guess this is good, though it’s annoying that it’s unique enough to make a headline. This should be completely uncontroversial.

So far.
- Comment on I am a solo developer creating a horror game where you can pet your cat to restore sanity! Here is the new trailer for The 18th Attic! Let me know your feedback :) 1 month ago:
Looks awesome. I love the cat mechanic, does the cat react to things? Animals reacting to things adds a level of creepiness, imo.
The overall ambiance looks good. Is this an escape room type thing? I’d love to check it out.
- Comment on Could we survive eating only humans? 1 month ago:
But what about a bit of human now and then, as a treat?
- Comment on Not to get all religiony but why in the old testament God was all fire and brimstone and fatal consequences? But the new testament God is all about forgiveness and such?? 1 month ago:
God is not about forgiveness and such in the New Testament. That’s a retcon by later Christians to make it more palatable.
He preached violence:
Matthew 10:34: Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
He was just as happy to send people to hell:
Matthew 13:41-42: The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Every single horrible decree in the Old Testament still applies in the new (despite modern Christians trying to redefine what ‘fulfil’ means):
Matthew 5:17-18: Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
That’s last one includes all the slavery, rape, genocide, etc. Jesus could have spoken out against those things, but instead he said all those judgements were just and should be continued.
Matthew 10:21: And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death.
Pretty violent, and not very loving.
And let’s not forget the revelations, in which Jesus will doom billions of people to a horrific existence followed by eternal hellfire, not for doing wrong things, but merely for not being devoted to him. Even the devout and righteous of other religions, and even babies who haven’t had the chance to sin.
Remember, Jesus is the same god as in the Old Testament – if god is eternal and unchanging (which the Bible says he is), he is literally the same entity who committed atrocities before he decided to wear human skin and sacrifice himself to himself.
This is not a loving god.

And that was young, fashionable people whinging about having to memorise things that were written down.

Reminder that Socrates was said to have hated books because they corrupted the youth, weakening students’ faculties by removing the need to memorise information.
Every single generation since records have existed thought the new tech was ruining us.
Now get off my fucking lawn.
