He won't get a cent when I play on my MVS carts on actual hardware, so there is that.

> In practice, both do mean exactly that. "Nontoxic individualism" is collectivism, "nontoxic masculinity" is femininity. You're not slick, everyone gets the language games at this point

You lose that freedom of movement if:

Your car breaks down

Your car gets stolen

Your car gets totaled

You lose your license

You can't afford insurance

You get too sick to drive

You lose bodily mobility

Your mental faculties decline

If you can't drive, you have to depend on whatever public options there are around you. Good luck.

In order for someone else to have those benefits, they also need a car.

If as a society, if we could feel the same way about public transit, bike lanes, sidewalks, that you do about your own personal vehicle - we'd be better off.

What makes you believe that she had any intent to attempt an attack?

Intent is where this falls apart, as she had no intent to harm with her vehicle. The interaction up until escalation by the agents was peaceful.

Even if the agent was in harms way, "totality of the circumstances" need to be reviewed before it can be said that deadly force was justified (see Barnes v. Felix ruling below)

It is a gift of time and effort, from both the student and teacher. The ability to be inspired by other works and draw from them, not merely imitate them.

You can ask any human musician to make music that is either inspired or outright copied from another artist. They have a moral compass to do so in a way that is not infringing on the works of others.

A music AI model will ingest what is thrown at it, and generate whatever you ask of it. It is a tool, and if it is ingesting human works to be formed into something else, proper attributions and royalties to the sources need to be made.

You are working so hard to build and manufacture the narrative that fits in your mind, to the point where it can justify the actions of the officer.

There is no justification for shooting a woman point blank in the face, and you know it.

It sounds like music, because it was generated by a model that was trained on actual music.

It is music that has been chewed up and regurgitated. It provides no benefit to the actual artists whose music fed that model.

Just because something beautiful can be created without emotion, that doesn't mean it's art. It just means something pleasing was created.

We have many species on earth that are "alien" to us - they don't create with emotion, they create things that are beautiful because that's just how it ended up.

Bees don't create hexagonal honeycomb because they feel a certain way, it's just the most efficient way for them to do so. Spider webs are also created for efficacy. Down to the single cell, things are constructed in beautiful ways not for the sake of beauty, but out of evolution.

The earth itself creates things that are absolutely beautiful, but are not art. They are merely the result of chemical and kinetic processes.

The "art" of it all, is how humans interpret it and build upon it, with experience, imagination, free will and emotions.

What you see in the night sky, that is not art. That is nature.

The things that humans are compelled to create under the influence of all this beauty - that is the art.

It certainly has an AI feel to it though, and I'm sure the more times you see it the more it falls apart.

On 1st watch the part that sticks out is the couple sitting by a window, who seem to be somehow sitting both inside AND outside at the same time.

AI right now is limited to trained neural networks, and while they function sort of like a brain, there is no neurogenesis. The trained neural network cannot grow, cannot expand on it's own, and is restrained by the silicon it is running on.

I believe that true AGI will require hardware and models that are able to learn, grow and evolve organically. The next step required for that in my opinion is biocomputing.

They present the ad in the most intrusive and annoying way possible. It ensures that I will either ignore it, or never purchase that item or service out of spite. If you do this almost every time I play a quick video, it generates a very negative user experience.

If they focused on how to have ads coexist with the user experience and mesh better with the media being watched, they might not irritate every user by trying to make them impossible to avoid - and they wouldn't have to play this cat and mouse bullshit that eventually leads to their platform being irrelevant.

Lately for pizza I've only been ordering from Dominoes, mostly because it's sort of cheap but also consistent.

Not fantastic, not bad, but always pretty good.

I hope they keep up with it, whenever I go in they always appear fully staffed and in good spirits.

It shares a platform with the ICE Niro, and aside from the charging port and obvious lack of exhaust pipe it doesn't look like an EV.

Give me a basic EV that looks like a normal car and I'd be happy.

So we ship off these receivers to circumvent that limitation. Instead of travelling ourselves, we can send off our consciousness to inhabit a human-life analog to explore.

What that does to your psyche, and your body in limbo, are probably good material for a story, if it hasn't already been written.

Would we still have an equivalent war deterrent today without nuclear? What would it look like?

My guess is something biological. My tongue-in-cheek guess would be something zoological (laser sharks anyone? pigeon pirahna hybrids?)

This is just going to kill whatever hobbyist user base they did have, and make it harder to learn the platform.

The Time Being and the Bear with me will be in great company.
