I mean, I’m not saying things can’t get better… but they’ll never be like Idiocracy. The reason people seem to be getting stupider isn’t because of eugenics, it’s because of the concerted efforts of those in power to stigmatize intelligence. They’re not just going to up and disappear… they’re going to exploit the under-educated.

Will never happen, there’s far too many selfish smart people who aren’t waiting to have kids. There will be a ruling class as long as we continue on this path.

Didn’t the studio take a pretty heavy hand to it? I feel like I’ve heard that Mike Judge isn’t a huge fan of it.

I prefer Stardew Valley

Hey now! Some are probably Russian/Chinese troll farms!

But gatekeeping mental health is totally okay.

Just because their issues aren’t as clinical as yours doesn’t mean they’re not also struggling.

Everything is 99% grey area. If someone tells you something is completely black and white you should be suspicious of their motives.

But you didn’t say you had proof with your comment, you said it was probable. Basically saying its common sense that its proven.

Why are you getting aggressive about actually having to provide proof about something when saying its obvious?

Also, that seems to imply that locking up people for AI offenses would then encourage truly reprehensible behavior by linking them with those who already engage in it.

Almost like lumping people together as one big group, instead of having levels of grey area, means people are more likely to just go all in instead of sticking to something more morally defensible.

So… its just a claim they’re making and you’re hoping it has actual backing.

Is everything completely black and white for you?

The system isn’t perfect, especially where we prioritize punishing people over rehabilitation. Would you rather punish everyone equally, emphasizing that if people are going to risk the legal implications (which, based on legal systems the world over, people are going to do) they might as well just go for the real thing anyways?

You don’t have to accept it as morally acceptable, but you don’t have to treat them as completely equivalent either.

There’s gradations of questionable activity. Especially when there’s no real victims involved. Treating everything exactly the same is, frankly speaking, insane. Its like having one punishment for all illegal behavior. Murder someone? Death penalty. Rob them? Straight to the electric chair. Jaywalking? Better believe you’re getting the needle.

As opposed to private Healthcare where they’re guaranteed to screw you over.

Poorly organized socialized healthcare, sure.

There’d be alternatives if people didn’t give up before ever looking for them.

The players make the game. It’s not a one or the other thing.

Its so smart it gets something else to do all the work for it.

I doubt very much adblockers are to blame for that. They’re a convenient excuse for those trying to squeeze as much money as possible from their users… but they would have gone that route no matter what. It’s just the nature of the economic system we live in.

A company is more than its most visible members. There were likely plenty of competent people in the hierarchy that were there before Musk and were able to continue that trend of competency until Musk decided he needed to control more and more of the intricacies of the company.

The difference isnt what he was doing before to make things run smoothly so much as what he wasn’t… that being getting in the way. He was a glorified PR guy. Which he was great at. Running a tech and manufacturing company? Not so much.

He didn’t, he bought in to a company that was already set on doing it.

That’s because your side is just you.
