Yes! /s

That doesnt geht any reaction from me, as I dont use it. It’s the USA safety sign, right?

I mean… with that attitude and behaviour towards safety rules… probably yes.

And yeah, nothing worse for teaching students proper and safe handling of chemicals than old technicians. “we never used gloves to pour THF out of this 10L vessel!” “ah just don’t breath in too strongly and if you feel funny, go to the window and get a quick breath of fresh air”.

Man I don’t know if I could eat out of that canister.

Its so ingrained as “CHEMICAL, DO! NOT! EAT!” In my mind.

Yes, and I (and the other comment with the analogy) agree with you. The pro AI comment surely wasn’t meant in the way of the analogy. But the analogy explained it exactly right. Pro AI people act as if we wouldn’t care that somebody spits into our soup, except if we know it. But we do care even if we don’t know it, it’s just really hard to prove.

So we are all in agreement here, except the first pro AI statement.

As somebody who grew up without religion: I never really cared about all the metaphysical stuff. I was always interested in learning new things and wanted to understand how the world works. Yet that stuff never even brushed my mind to my knowledge. Maybe I asked my parents when I was smaller which I can’t remember anymore, but I definitely didn’t get anxiety over it. I accepted what I saw with my own eyes, that was enough for me. I don’t need something else besides this world.

And regarding their child converting: a cousins child is raised atheist and in elementary school got interested in Christianity since most of their class mates went to church. So the child asked the parents, they said: innour opinion there is nothing, but if you are interested, feel free to go to church to learn about their explanation. So that’s what they did and last I met the child, they weren’t a bible thumbed but still went to their religion class, so the result is not yet in.

Yes, which is exactly why it is such a good analogy to what the pro AI commentator meant. You care for it and not knowing doesnt mean you don’t care, you just can’t express it without sounding like a lunatic that asks every waiter if they spit in your food

The honest answer is: we don’t know.

The common name and interpretation is as the others already mentioned.

But it is part of the so called black paintings of Goya. He created them at the end of his life when he was depressed, maybe insane and utterly lost all hope in humanity. He painted them inside a house on the walls and never showed them to anyone or talked about them. They were only found after his death, so we literally have no information about them.

But they are all pretty haunting and have dark themes. And this one got memetic usage and was also often referenced and is therefore the best known one of the 14.

I don’t think so? Destroying the tires doesnt stop the car either, it makes it harder to stear and slows it down after some seconds, but not immediately and doesnt stop it completely.

Yep, I send an email to support asking about it and they said they can’t tell me more than the second apology and quoted it.

Depends on your definition of “make good”.

After the first disastrous comment on reddit they issued a second one on Twitter which sounded like the first one should have in the first place.

But that’s all and they didn’t address it inside the newsletter, so for me it’s empty words without really addressing the deeper issue of how much somebody in GOG fucked up.

Yeah, I plan to do the same.

It’s interesting to see how much content there already is in the demo. Could already be its own full game.

Yep. And that is the difference between “not doing wrong” and “doing right”. Because in the latter’s case, you don’t die. Or at least… Its complicated

Nethack, a very deep and actively obtous game. If you want to figure it out yourself, its complexity is nearly on a level with dwarf fortress.

Outer Wilds does not fit 100 % your description, as it doesnt hate the player. But it is a game all about exploration and figuring stuff out yourself. And if you do things wrong, you die.

All Hail the Abh Empire!

I mean they are even right. If they would really believe in their ideas, they could throw money at us and we would be far more accepting of their LLM bullshit. But they aren’t, so they don’t.

Yeah, hopefully someday it will be ethical to visit those statues again. Because they are indeed awesome.

Do birds worry about their hair? Well… They dont have hair, so probably not.

But do birds worry about their plumage?
Yeah, probably they do.
Because there are many examples of birds using their plumage to attract mates, best known is probably the peacock.

In short, my thinking is that you need sexual procreation and a certain minimum intelligence to care for their outward appearance (e.g. I don’t think ants care for outward looks). So probably all mammals and a lot of birds definitely do care “about their hair”. But insects and fish do not.

This is the first of 3 statues that are thematically connected and are about USSRs part in world war 2.

This is Home Front to Front metaphorically smithing the sword, since that area had a lot of industrial complexes that produced arms. The next one is The Motherland Calls about the will and need to fight, with the sword raised high. And the last one, the Soviet War Memorial, is in Berlin, its about lowering the sword at the end of the war.
