Well, at least there isn’t a narcissistic tech-billionaire around who doesn’t care about human lives and is closely associated with the government.

Since they are surrounded by billionaires and multimillionaires they don’t realize how few of them there are. They are not the 1 percent, they’re the 1 percent of the 1 percent.

It’s the ultimate dream of the filthy rich, to not having to rely on human guards to protect them from the rabble out to kill them sooner or later, because human guards could decide to switch sides.

AI is just a tool. But like any tool, it’s immediately misused by greedy capitalists for making life worse for everyone that isn’t them.
The problem is capitalism, not AI.

Kind of, but it’s actually good quality and a lot cheaper.

They also do hilarious knockoffs of franchise they don’t have the licence for. Like a pirate ship with black sails that is simply called N.P.B. (which stands for Not-Black-Pearl). The cool thing is the quality is comparable to Lego but the sets are more than half the price.

Yes, me too, got the Defiant and the DS9 Station (with another mini-Defiant).
- Comment on Dragon Age The Veilguard Head Won't Reveal Sales Numbers Of Game 3 months ago:
It’s a pity, it’s actually a really good game. The gameplay especially is probably the best out of all the Dragon Age games and the final stretch is one of Bioware’s best IMO. I think the problem with the game is that it starts out fairly weak but then gets better and better. Some of the best companions only join after a lot of hours of playing. Probably not the smartest choice.

- Comment on If a leftist ran for president, would liberals support him? 4 months ago:
In the context of Germany, “liberal” means being for capitalism unbridled by the state but still generally progressive policies culturally, with more rights for minorities and such. And corresponding party is FDP. Someone considered “left” would be for more social policies and government control of capitalism (traditionally SPD), extreme left would be following tenants of communism, opposed to the US and friendly with Russia (The party The Left and the new Sarah Wagenknecht party) Someone considered conservative or “right” would be against social policies and try to reduce control of capitalism (CDU) extreme right would be plain fascists (AfD), ironically also aligned with Russia now. The Greens are a special case, since they were originally a single issue party comcerned with environmentalism, but since the SPD has largely vacated their social policies since Schröder was chancellor, they have become more and more the new “social” party.
- Comment on If a leftist ran for president, would liberals support him? 4 months ago:
The word “liberals” means something else in Germany than in the US. The closes analogy would be Democrats=SPD and Republicans=CDU, which are the two biggest parties. When Hitler took over, the CDU fell in line while the SPD resisted. The SPD then was also a lot more leftist than it is now. It’s pretty much centrist now and only slightly more to the left than the conservative CDU.
