    Somebody at openai better be requiring stuff so it literally never works to launch anything ever.

    There is no context in which launching nukes is acceptable. The world should completely disarm and destroy all records of how the weapon tech even works.

    Will never be acceptable. We shouldn’t have them, no one else should either.

    If I was elected, my first EO would be to immediately destroy all of ours without making any demands regarding it. We’re all cooked if any of them is used, so I don’t see a downside here. And before any political goals I might have, that would be way higher a priority.

    Maybe but a ceremonial briefcase to represent the occasion as a memorial to the sheer hubris of even thinking of this idea.


  • Sorry. I’ve turned a ten second reply into a ten minute one there.

    I actually deleted paragraphs from my previous comment for the same reason lol. You start talking passionately about something, and then you just start talking until something snaps you out of the trance lol.

    Generally speaking, I think my issue is with the permanence of it. Everything about life is about change over time. But something like the fact of someone not being alive is permanent.

    I feel like change is so natural that someone never doing that anymore bothers me. It’s not even necessarily about the death itself, (although obviously that is a pretty big part) but more about the “set in stone” nature of their story.

    For the living, everything about a person’s story could be a preamble to the important part at any time. The unpredictability of life is part of the experience. And that is so starkly contrasted in the case of dead people. Regular life has ups and downs all the time, it’s kinda like the pulse of life (literally of course as well, but in this case metaphorical). That graph flattens out when you die (still metaphorical), and it’s an eerie feeling.

    I could go into a whole further rant about religion and how it can play in to this, but I’ll keep it to less than a 10 minute reply 😂.

    I don’t even know what system it was at the time, but the first time I figured out things weren’t just on “computer” and were on a particular operating system and that Mac didn’t do games at all, I hated them immediately. They were completely useless for my use case.

    I remember when iPods got popular that I specifically didn’t want one, I wanted a different mp3 player. I got one of the first Dell ones. I forget the name of it now. It was either a “jukebox” or maybe that was the software’s name. It has the scroll barrel on it. Had I think 15 or 20GB on it. I was so much happier with it than I would’ve been with an iPod. For one I didn’t need to cover my entire library to aac. And iTunes was just a nightmare on Windows in general from what I heard. There was no software needed for the Dell one. You just moved your music on like a removable hard drive. Playlists were actual separate files that were somehow associated to the songs. I never did (and still don’t) really care about playlists.

    I’m too millennial for that. I just play the album I wanna hear. Or nowadays if I’m too lazy or in a hurry I have an automatic playlist that knows what kinda stuff I like to listen to and just plays from that set.
