Yes, but I knew that before watching Evil. I've been lucid dreaming for more than two decades now.

It's not about the medium being used, it's that AI doesn't know what things are. You and I have a living library of how a 3D object works in space. When you train your artistic abilities, all you're really doing is perfecting that internal library and learning the techniques to bring it out of your own head.

When you draw an apple, you bring forth the concept of an apple in your mind and then put that down on the page. When an AI draws an apple, it creates a statistically probable image of an apple based on its training data. It doesn't know what an apple is, it just makes something that was good enough to pass the testing machine.

AIs make products like a dream, because just like in your dreams, there's no reality to anchor it to. You hallucinate fairly similarly to AIs, even while waking, but your brain then adjusts its guesses using sensory inputs. Like why you can feel the pain of a stubbed toe instantly, if you see it, even though it actual takes the chemical signal some time to get to your brain. Or how your brain will synchronize the sound coming out of someone's mouth with the image, even though that's not what is actually happening. And an AI will never be able to do that, because all inputs are identical to it.

Look at text. Look away. Look again. Are the words the same? In a dream, they sure as fuck won't be.

Yeah, but there's a manufactured object that should have near perfect symmetry and doesn't. It kind of looks symmetrical, but that's not how symmetry works.

That theory missed something that jumped my synapses right at the end. Palpatine killed Vader in order to revive. He pulled the same fucking trick, his love of Vader and his hatred at his betrayal mixed right at the end, and he used it to hitch a ride to his clone stock. Man, fuck, that just ruined the sequels all over again.

Hey! Fuck off and just let people live their lives. Is that really that hard?

No, fire hose of misinformation is worse. $100m buys a few races, maybe. Fire hose breaks down an entire societies' trust in reality.

If the option is 5 people dying every day or 10 people dying every day, yes harm reduction says we should limit the amount of people dying every day. That way we have more time to save the people.

I'm not a fucking lib, I'm a leftist, and I'm telling you that Trump is worse than the status quo. He only really started to fuck shit up towards the end of his presidency and that was because he only just realized he could change the rules and get rid of the bureaucracy that actually keeps our government limping along. Next time he, or anyone with an R next to their name, takes office they're going to destroy anything of value left in our government so they can hoard the ashes. This will continue to be the reality of the situation until being a fascist is no longer politically viable.

Yes, it's a hostage situation. Yes, it's royally fucked, but the last 4 years has seen an incredible shift in both public support of good policy and politicians promoting good policy. There is a light, there is good coming of all this shit, it just requires your support for the good that's happening, and your disdain to be pointed at the bad. Don't point your disdain at the "not good enough" and shrug at the unbelievable bad. That's how things get worse.

Yeah, money is politics is bad. Also, foreign governments interfering in our elections is bad. You discovered the principle of more than one thing can be bad at once.

Yes, his goal is to break down every negotiation until ~~Gaza is gone~~ his political situation improves. He can't end the war until he's secured his political future. Cause what else is a populist fascist to do?

... there's no such thing as American cheese, then. American cheese is cheddar, Colby jack, and whatever else mild flavored cheese you want, melted in milk, and then reconstituted with sodium citrate. It's "suspended cheese sauce".

What are you talking about? Cheese made in America?
