  • I’ve also heard it posed that we’re actually all the same person being reborn into every human that has ever or will ever exist, without regard for chronology. So like the people who are most cruel are our earliest selves and the people who are more empathetic are later versions of us who have learned to be more compassionate.

    I don’t believe that, but I like to think about it because it makes me more thoughtful of others.


  • I dream of being a variety of people all the time, sometimes more than one of them at once, maybe simultaneously as a bodiless observer. I’m often aware that I’m playing a role, but I can’t recall ever retaining the idea of my waking self. It’s like I accept who I am right now, but I sense the experience is transient.



  • I don’t think it’s offensive by any means, but I think it would be better as a society to get away from labeling things as masculine and feminine in a way that refers back to a traditional gender binary and assumptions. The A/B system serves that, though it fumbles when your character’s pronouns are also determined by this choice.

    Personally I think they ought to make two base bodies (small and large) and then add boobs as a toggle for both. And none of this business with separate hair and face options either.

    YouTube added a “feature” like that, where it generates thumbnails for your video. It’s at least obvious that that’s what it’s doing, but people don’t seem to like seeing realistic AI-generated images of themselves for some reason.

    I really think we need different words for these things. In my own experience, consenting to sexual contact with over 18’s as a teenager was a neutral-to-positive experience for me, while being assaulted by under 18’s was not hella fun. I don’t really like that they’re bundled together as the same thing.





  • But the details keep changing in every version. Like in this one it clearly says “pink” in the top text, and the bottom black text isn’t as long anymore.

    The story is being told that the guy on the right is the one in the costume, but it’s not the same guy at all.

    And if you watch the video version you can see that the man in the costume has a blank, dead expression, and the syandana thing goes from being attached to the helmet to being attached to his head suddenly by magic.

    I think the AI is just good enough that it’s getting many things right. They do a pretty good job these days.

    It seems like it’s just a fake story to make a homophobic joke.




  • I don’t think they mean that having AI is vital. I think they mean it’s vital that the rich not have a monopoly on AI.

    Regardless whether AI is useful, its production would never have become this harmful if a rich person didn’t think they could own it and make money with it. Making a thing publicly accessible makes it less attractive to capitalists.

    If you want you could try saying softer things like “I didn’t love it, but” and follow with conversation about aspects you did enjoy. That way you both get a better picture of your tastes and can make better recommendations.

    I don’t know why people don’t just litter train their dogs so that they can take care of themselves during work and sleep hours. If they have nowhere to go in the house, they’ll go by the door if you’re lucky, or somewhere hidden so that you have to hunt around for where the smell is coming from while they writhe with guilt and anxiety. Wood pellets are your friend.
