About twice as fast as my car is capable of going, downhill and with a tailwind.

It never occurred to me that the shells would be edible. I mean, I don’t eat clam or oyster shells.
- Comment on If Artificial Lifeforms gain sentience, would they be in the right to kill their creators in order to gain freedom? 3 days ago:
Would humans have a mandate to raise a responsible AGI, should they,
I think we’d have to, mandate or no. It’s impossible to reliably predict the behaviour of an entity as mentally complex as us but we can at least try to ensure they share our values.
are they qualified to raise a vastly nonhuman sentient entity
The first one’s always the hardest.
- Comment on If Artificial Lifeforms gain sentience, would they be in the right to kill their creators in order to gain freedom? 3 days ago:
I don’t think it’s okay to hold sentient beings in slavery.
But on the other hand, it may be necessary to say “hold on, you’re not ready to join society yet, we’re taking responsibility for you until you’ve matured and been educated”.
So my answer would be ‘it depends’.

I’d quite like to see Michael Fassbender in the role.
I didn’t really enjoy Prometheus, but it showed us he can do subtly creepy.
- Comment on Does the beginning of "Money for Nothing" remind you of "Shine on you crazy diamond?" 1 week ago:
I heard Money For Nothing earlier and more often, so it’s the other way round for me.

There will be a price. Don’t do this unless you want the fashion police to rappel in through your smashed windows and beat you while you choke on tear gas.
- Comment on Opening Lemmy in the morning and seeing dozens of unread comments in your inbox makes you think: what the heck did I say yesterday? 3 weeks ago:

- Comment on low iq in love with high iq person, is that bad?? 4 weeks ago:
The only thing IQ measures accurately is how well you answer questions on IQ tests. For anything else, it’s a vague approximation at best.
Talk to your guy. Just knowing that you’re working to understand him will make him feel loved.

- Comment on Adding Canada to the US would drastically increase the number of awesome people in the country. 1 month ago:
Makes me picture American lying comatose in a hospital bed with Canada hooked up to its arm like an IV bag.
- Comment on Is thinly-veiled political whinging really a question just because you used a question mark? 1 month ago:
The question mark specifically turns it into passive-aggressive political whinging.
