If you’re going to remove 90% of the content on lemmy, is there even a point staying on it?

Really shitty scaremongering article. I’d like to know how exactly increased investment in fusion could potentially make it unsuitable for public use, as the article claims?

For all intents and purposes, (…) as close to a real person as technology can create.

Again, I point you towards video games and how they got blamed for violence. You could have used the same statement about them 20 years ago.

The biggest danger with allowing people to do whatever they want to a sex bot is that it has the possibility to encourage dangerous behavior in some people to the point where they are comfortable doing it to a real person.

This tired old argument gets trotted out with every new technology and hobby. D&D, Video games, VR, etc etc.

The current global population growth rate is unsustainable.

That’s a myth. The current global population growth rate is dropping precipitously and is expected to hit negative rates within this century. The fertility rate per woman is at 2.3, from a peak of 5.3 in the 60s. That’s barely above replacement level. At current trends we’ll be at replacement level in a couple decades.

An NPC in a game has intelligence

By what definition of the word? Most dictionaries define it as some variant of ‘the ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skills.’

Aren’t there already records of all your border crossings? I don’t see the difference, what am I missing?

Commuting from… California to Oslo? That’s only 14 hours. Wait till you get here and we make you walk everywhere.

Ah, you found the warhammer clubspace! It’s like the biggest one worldwide, they tell me! Very cool place. And no, the open invitation is still open! I’m not naturalised enough to sneer at Swedes yet, however deserving they might be :P

Will DM you

If anybody’s in Oslo, this is an open invitation to hang out and maybe be friends.

I mean, most of the masses already do meet that requirement. OP seems to think there are only ‘masses’ in the US and nowhere else.

I have never understood people who make this argument. In all of history, can you point to a single time when technology wasn’t eventually commercialised and made available to the masses at affordable prices? The billionaires don’t want to keep it to themselves, they want you buying more stuff from them.

Caveat 1: Move out of the US

Caveat 2: ???

Caveat 3: Extended youth

I have semi face-blindness, it takes several meetings before I can start recognising a person’s face. Something like this would actually be a lifesaver for me, just so I can know who I’m talking to and whether I’ve met them before.

like having more of a “field healer” that is armed but has less healing-related abilities, and a full healer that only heals but has unique options.

And this differs from most existing games how, exactly?

The actual point was, bomb making instructions have been floating around on search engine results since the days of dial up. That particular manuscript itself has existed since before the days of the Internet. There’s nothing cgpt could give you that you couldn’t have found by typing the same query into Google. Getting the instructions is literally the easiest, least effort, least risk part of building a bomb.

I see you’ve never heard of the Anarchist’s Cookbook

Is it more of a public safety issue than if they actually build a working one from a legit bomb manual and deploy it?

asking it the steps to create a bomb

That sounds like a self-correcting issue right there
