One of my favorite! I quote it near daily. (Also, it’s Kung Pow: Enter the Fist)

Oh, wow! I played Mario 64 on one of those, on a Nintendo 64 imported from Japan before they released in the USA. Memories…

Seth Rogan. Worst Donkey Kong possible.

Watch Severance. He’s a very different Christopher Walken.

Especially the Mormon version, who threatened women with destruction for refusing to spread their legs for Joseph Smith.

I’ve never heard of that song, but definitely know Boombastic. Generational difference?

it boy by bbno$. It’s just so unexpected, every moment of it.

Try Iron & Wine.

Not even if they wear the magic underwear?! What about if they give 10% of everything they earn towards tricking more gullible idiots and brainwashing children? Maybe if they dedicate two years of their lives going door-to-door recruiting more morons, and pay for the privelege out of their own pockets?

Yeah, I think that’s why they’re drawn to him. They remind them very much of their religious figures.

Once you find your light you can no longer truly be yourself on the outside. You have to stop then. You’ve got to be someone else on the outside once that has happened. For reasons.

Mormons. Joseph Smith, and the God that Joseph claimed told him that he would destroy women who refused to “cleave unto” (spread their legs for) Joseph.

Typically I’d agree, but they follow the teachings of a sexual predator and worship a rapist, so… Eh…

They could be made about any technology. Everything is a tool, that can be used for good or evil, by good or evil people, with good or evil intent, with costs and sacrifices. AI is no different, but it’s popular to hate on it because it’s so disruptive. It’s like when automobiles were invented. Or computers. Or the Internet. Or textile machinery.

People resisting AI are luddites. Dictionary definition, not hyperbole, condescension or disparagement. Just fact.

But of course, but your reaction to your environment is itself a product of your genetics. So it is an inseparable combination. You can’t disregard the nurturing, and it has an effect, but it is modulated by your biology, determining your reaction, response, and how it changes you going forward, so inescapably the underlying driver is genetics.

Possibly. If the genes that cause you to get satisfaction from taking care of others, that would cause you to gravitate towards nursing. If your instinctual reaction to deformity, illness or bodily fluids outweighs that disposition, then you’d be less likely to be a nurse.

Your reactions to sights, sounds, smells, etc are not choices, right? You can be self aware and modulate your response, but the underlying reaction is determined everyday by your biological coding. Hence your genetics can lead you towards or push you away from careers based on your individual disposition as determined by your genetics.

Because of genetics.

It’s popular here to hate AI. Everyone wants to be in the club, to feel included. It’s a hive mind demonstration.

I think it doesn’t matter. I think the world is fucked as a result of billionaires, and so I might I as well enjoy just games regardless of what tools were used, because there’s always something worse.

It’s sad they feel like they have to placate the luddites, but they are so loud that it’s understandable. It’s like handing out pacifiers at the opera. People shouldn’t be bringing those so under-developed that they can’t appreciate the production, but since they will anyways, they can attempt to minimize the disruption of bawling toddlers who can’t comprehend what’s happening and just want it to stop.
