There is sound logic behind it. Realism means lack of creativity and imagination. It also means precious development resources diverted away from fun gameplay mechanics. Nobody plays a game for realism because if you wanted realism you would just go outside and touch grass. Games are about fun. Realism is not fun. Which is why games were invented: to avoid realism. Gamers who obsess over realism don't understand what makes a game great. No game is made great by its realism. Realism in game design is like smearing more lipstick on a pig. Realism is easy, creativity is hard. You play games for the creativity they offer. Look at Star Field. Todd made it realistically barren. And it sucks. Nobody plays it. Any designer worth his salt could have foreseen this. Nobody wants a realistic space exploration game because real space exploration is more boring than watching paint dry.

Rayman is the best game ever made.

Well, if he doesn't qualify as insane, who does? The insane defense is a pretty silly legal loophole. Okay, if you are so insane as to kill someone, then why should you live? Someone that insane shouldn't mind loss of his life.

This sounds nice, but it doesn't actually work. The mind is way too stubborn to change from such minor things. You are not gonna woo someone into changing.

Jeffy has like 7 abortions, last time I heard. Which was 10 years ago.

Most people can't be helped. You can't help someone who doesn't want to change.

Unknown. AGI is able to do all the intellectual work of a human. I don't think they will create it any time soon. A computer exists within God. That's how.

Hand-selected from lists of thousands of tunes. The best of the best.

I took a DVD course from Gerald Kein. Omni Hypnosis. But it's an old course that is hard to find.

A weird strech.

Doesn't make sense. Killing your parents is a mentally ill thing to do. That's not something you plan out.

May we all dream of cliffracer balls.

@Basman Can we entice you with more horse balls?

Fuck it, just play Morrowind. No amount of horse balls will ever get you to Morrowind-tier gaming.

Off to the uranium mines with you!

The definition of investment is losing money until years later you start making it. How long do you think it takes a new gas station to break even? Break even on a nuclear powerplant is about 20 years.

God said "Let there be science".

I can see that being true too.

He ain't wrong. Who do you think created you? Lol

Capital "S" science is God.

You should see Dave's debate vs Dr James Tour. Dave is an unhinged scoundrel. Dr Tour is a worldclass chemist.

Chris?? You mean Graham Hancock? Graham Hancock's theories are bad and almost certianly wrong. I can agree with Dave on that. Dave is very, very trapped in the pre/trans fallacy. He is incapable of distinguishing genuine mysticism from religon and New Age beliefs.

Yes. But of course a few people are working on entirely new tech. We just don't know when it will be viable. Ilya Sutskever is working on an entirely new approach that isn't just another LLM. But who knows how long that will take? Could be never. Could be both. I think it needs to be entirely different from LLM, using no training data. It needs to be an abstract reasoning model. Not based on pattern-matching human data. No way. AGI is not a hardware problem, it is a software problem. We don't need more datacenters. My own reasoning. But there are AI reaearchers who explain why LLMs cannot do AGI. Yann Lecun is one example. He is Facebook's top AI scientist. He says no way can LLMs do AGI. He is correct. But I am not just believing him, I am using my own understanding of the issue.

Antipsychotics often have negative side-effects so people often don't want to take them. They are stuck between a rock and a hard place. The cure is sometimes worse than the disease. Obviously not in this case.

Doctors usually like being doctors. If they didn't they would have quit long before.
