- Comment on NASA finds humanity would totally fumble asteroid defense 4 months ago:
Real talk, an asteroid wiping us out would only expedite the inevitable. If we could pull together and deflect an asteroid, there’s hope. If not, we failed the test and die with the consequences. But we don’t need the asteroid to fail this test. We’re making great strides towards destroying our home with home field advantage.

No I’m not. I will say all men are capable of rape, especially those who don’t listen to or respect women. Amongst any other issues men will shrug off because it hurts their feelings. If you have an issue with that, it’s a personal problem.

I couldn’t care less what you’re bored with. Ignoring problems doesn’t solve them. Just fuck off and keep your mouth shut if you’re so bored with people calling you out for being a misogynist.

That men are really bad at trying not make everything about men. What’s yours?
- Comment on Mean world syndrome has reacted a fever pitch. 6 months ago:
You may be right. It’s a shame that this is a division we’ve yet to collectively overcome.

Some men would rather die than to empathize with a woman.

I uncontrollably smile when I talk to this day thanks to my call center experience. It’s an unwanted mask.

I wasn’t a part of this chain at all, but I’ll take a block if you’re handing them out.
Are you handing them out? Your IQ dropped mid sentence, so you stopped speaking English there. Either way, please block me.

Yes, I’ve heard of faith before. Philosophically riveting stuff, I’m sure.
I’m simply here to say you might try being less intellectually hostile. This extends beyond your interaction here. I agree with your sentiment, but you don’t exactly make people want to meet you where you stand. There is no “them” for you to fight. It’s just us.
- Comment on CFCs 8 months ago:
You’re not really making any meaningful points for me to interact with, and as such I have nothing in myself to defend. You seem to just be really cranky and hostile.
That’s where your downvotes are coming from, by the way. You’re not appealing to reason; you’re more just being kind of a dick.

I don’t think you have a strong enough concept of large numbers to be able to hold a respectable opinion here.
- Comment on Hmmm... 9 months ago:
I like to think consciousness is just a higher self that creates a projection that we understand to be our “self”. The projection and its source are both representations of the same self, making my thoughts a product of my self. Or in other words, I can claim to be the author of my own thoughts.
- Comment on Hmmm... 9 months ago:
It sounds like an anecdotal experience with a single person has shaped your opinion on millions of people you have yet to encounter into a brutally negative one. Your flags are much redder than you may realize.

That was my reaction as well.
“I do have voices in my head. They’re called thoughts, and I highly recommend the experience.”
- Comment on AI-Generated George Carlin Drops Comedy Special That Daughter Speaks Out Against: ‘No Machine Will Ever Replace His Genius’ 10 months ago:
I don’t see this stand up as proper AI at all. However, I do see the writing on the wall, and we are definitely attempting to build towards what I referenced, a proper simulation of consciousness. So all the AI projects coming out now feel like stepping stones towards that end.
I thoroughly agree that this happening under a capitalist system is a recipe for shit though. However, we have no way of removing capital from the equation at this time, and like it or not, people are going to be doing more projects exactly like this. As well they will be making money from it because that is literally the only way anything ever gets done when capital is the beginning and end of the discussion. That’s more an issue with capitalism than AI personas IMO. This is how things are going to happen, and I feel like we’re better off trying to inject morality into the situation than to pretend that it won’t happen or that we can stop it from happening. Otherwise, what we’re doing is standing around with angry expressions on our faces, doing fuck all while corporation steal our likenesses for profit.
We have to tread carefully from here.

Assuming we kill capitalism and form a more utopic society (which the Carlinbot amusingly is all for, but also cynically doesn’t think is possible), would AI recreations of existing or previously existing people still be an issue to you? I’m morbidly curious what an AI “me” would be like, and I can imagine others being against something like that coming to be.
- Comment on AI-Generated George Carlin Drops Comedy Special That Daughter Speaks Out Against: ‘No Machine Will Ever Replace His Genius’ 10 months ago:
I listened to the whole special, and I can agree with much of what the Carlinbot had to say. I think that’s fun.
I know there’s overwhelming hatred towards the idea of AI doing stuff like this, but I’m curious as to why exactly that is. I hate this about as much as I hate impressionists, which is a somewhat apt comparison. That is to say, I think it’s pretty neat and I’m curious what all went into making it happen, so I can’t say I hate it. Could someone break down why this is awful? Is it a “let the dead lie” kind of thing, keeping the dead sacred? Do we want the AI to be completely original, despite it being derivative in nature? Do we simply want AI not to exist at all? Is it just in poor taste? If so, who do we let define what constitutes good or poor taste?
I see AI as a philosophical issue, as it’s a technology seeking to cross the uncanny valley and simulate consciousness as we understand it, which has serious implications regarding the nature of consciousness, the concept of the self, how we define life and understanding, how much control we grant this artificial life, what rights artificial life should have, and plenty of other conundrums along the way. I honestly don’t think it’s as simple as “Carlin wouldn’t like this”, as this video is ultimately an unsatisfactory impression of a man that only goes on for one hour. There are worse things in the world we could be lambasting (as the Carlinbot points out mid-video), but there are clearly some implications involved that people are very upset by. So, where do we go from here?
