Feels like reddit.

It makes sense if we have a space elevator and also invert the way most of the physics of data centers work.

Let them fight.

Also, would improve dominos by a lot.

Is that what I said?

And for consoles none of that exists.

What if we didn’t give the pedophile warlords free guns? That’s terrorist talk.

So you have, its just coming up on two years since? Its fine I’m jot asking you to bet your life on your yugioh skills; just to remember the people who play these things.

You don’t understand! There must always be pedophile warlords, it’s a fundamental law of reality! Do you want to have no say in which pedophile warlord heads the empire? Really?

You are not being civil. If I say

hey there buddy, i noticed youve got adorable kids there. I’m gonna kidnap them and lock them in with my state’s congressmen and a bucket of lube for a few days. Then I’m gonna visit you and make sure your body has the right number of holes. We probably disagree about what that is, but I think we can come to a compromise in the mid double digits! Compromise! Civility!

I would not call that civility, I would call that disgusting and gross as well as violent and offensive. That’s what you sound like. That’s what everything out of your vile fucking mouth sounds like to any thinking human being. Content matters as much as form, and yours is always without exception violently ignorant to an offensive and dehumanizing degree.

Also, literally nothing works like or is what you think it is. You are wrong. This is a blanket statement. You are wrong. About every single god damnthing so far. Its like you’re ontologically wrong. Like a wizard conjured up a dunning-kruger elemental. Fuck off back to San Francisco, finish your mba at Stanford, and fuck off.

‘Inherently’

That’s bullshit. They’re no more inherently fascist than they are inherently Christian, and not all fascists are or were eugenicists.

Yep, I read real good. Its a curse.

There are genuine uses and perils, but this ass clown has never met a torment nexus he didn’t feel a compulsion to stick his dick in, and that’s exactly the kind of person, aside from Nazis, who’s a case for us not being grown-up enough as a culture to touch that technology.

Physical goods aren’t here for nostalgia, they’re here for media that can’t be remotely recalled the moment the corpos decide for whatever reason you can’t own it anymore.

Its very important in the legal space. On the high seas, a HDD thumb drive or archival mdisc/tape drive are the same.

No, the games are also worse.

You’re being extremely offensive and everything you believe is confidently wrong and repulsive. Using nice words to advocate eugenics and polydystopia is not civil. Thoughtless speech and confident stupidity are offensive to everyone who’s ever fucking studied a god damn thing. Fuck off with your tone policing.

You do not know what the fuck you’re talking about. That’s not even what an “ai agent” claims to be. Please never try to interact with the real world.

Okay so my search wasn’t working, but here’s the full portion:

I turn my body from the sun. What ho, Tashtego! Let me hear thy hammer. Oh! ye three unsurrendered spires of mine; thou uncracked keel; and only god-bullied hull; thou firm deck, and Pole-pointed prow,—death-glorious ship! must he then perish, and without me? Am I cut off from the last fond pride of meanest shipwrecked captains? Oh, lonely death on lonely life! Oh, now I feel my topmost greatness lies in my topmost grief. Ho, ho! from all your furthest bounds, pour ye now in, ye bold billows of my whole foregone life, and top this one piled comber of my death! Towards thee I roll, thou all-destroying but unconquering whale; to the last I grapple with thee; from hellcs heart I stab at thee; for hate’s sake I spit my last breath at thee. Sink all coffins and all hearses to one common pool! And since neither can be mine, let me then tow to pieces, while still chasing thee, though tied to thee, thou damned whale! Thus, I give up the spear!

There’s a lot of archaic language and nautical terminology there, but its much more about grief and abandon and madness, it shows a weakness, a frenzied hopeless death drive as much or more than the determination and strength implied by the shorter quote the space-nazi shouts.

Okay but you get some of these things are like the core of the dystopianness?

Like reading diamond age and doing the ‘let’s make a pure ai kids toy!’ Or ‘I want a skull gun!’ Instead of any of the cool parts, when the book is exactly about how ‘this is dangerous/stupid/fundamentally evil/would suck’. You’re from the bay area, or work in tech. You have to be.

Also, we do not have parlor walls. How does someone get to be this stupid-evil and this confident in being stupid-evil? Like have you ever seen a torment nexus you didn’t want to stick your dick in?

Never mind then, full endorsement.

I’ve gamed on a secret weed farm deeeep in the woods. The networking is a little iffy sometimes, but even with our current infrastructure it can be done. We had an electric water heater, TV, full kitchen, and game consoles, half an hour’s hard hike and half an hour’s drive to the general store in summer (more complex in winter), a couple hours to the nearest town. Latency spikes happened, weather happened, but the internet was there. We never had to go out for fruit or veggies, but didn’t grow our own grains/carbs, and didn’t have any meat/dairy animals.

You don’t need to live by a script. Figure out the life you want. As long as it doesn’t fuck with anyone else, you deserve it.

Love the enthusiasm, but it was kind of a rhetorical question.

You get that ‘the giver’ is a dystopia, right? Of fucking course you don’t.
