it's about moral ones. If we make a perfectly simulated animal brain and it works just like the real thing does that mean we've made an animal? Do we consider that animal to be alive? Does it have less "worth" than a flesh and blood creature? Better that we answer these questions now than when we have robots asking us if they have a soul.
Just look at how google has consistently fucked up UIs by removing functionality and making things more difficult and less efficient in the name of "design" in their other products. The only good thing I can say is that they're not alone, this is a pretty universal trend of idiocy.
I begrudge widescreen monitors because they're not widescreen, they're shortscreen. A 4:3 of the same diagonal will give you more usable space and more efficiently use your visual field than a 16:9 or 16:10.
It's a combination of this and the cultural offensiveness of the device. Google Glass as it exists is functionally nothing more than wearing a recording device and tiny external screen attached to your head for $1500, wearing one is like walking around very conspicuously pointing a camera at everyone near you all the time. Now compare that with the Eyetap, which has been around for decades at this point. The Eyetap actually processes and enhances your vision in realtime giving you a HUD or displaying information in the world and letting you see outside the normal spectrum.
The simple fact is Google Glass was a huge step backwards.
"Outrage Pornography".
Go back to redpill... because I'm listening to (and have linked to) multiple feminists including the transgender intersectional feminist that was SO "social justice" they wanted trigger warnings on the Great Gatsby. I don't think you've thought this through very thoroughly.
That's a nice straw man. Very misogynist though, paternalistic towards women and treats them like fragile flowers instead of equal to men who get random trolls sending un-credible threats all the time.
Have you ever noticed they're almost always relatively well off white men and women, and usually hipsters? Oppression is like bling to them, they fetishize it. But because they're often so sheltered and privileged they really have no sense of perspective about anything, so they're perpetually taking even mere disagreement as "harassment" and traumatizing.
The thing is when you've lived through things like people trying to kill you over your race and religion you get a different perspective on things.
I can't get the story of GamerGate straight. And do you know why I can't get GamerGate's story straight? Because GamerGate themself can't get their story straight. GamerGate's story keeps changing every day.
It's been the same since day one, with new information coming to light as things like the GJP mailing list (which even Jimbo Wales himself admits proves gamergate's claims) as investigations produce results. The people BEING investigated for corruption, bribery, blacklisting, and collusion however have been doing everything in their power to try and distract or plaster over that.
Maybe the problem, as I've repeatedly demonstrated, is that you're just incredibly poorly informed to the point of getting even the most basic facts wrong.
I assure you, this is absolutely the first time I've heard anyone from GamerGate even claim that they have addressed corruption around Shadows of Morder... And you are the first person I've met who claims that GamerGaters have addressed this...
This is frankly ridiculous. TotalBiscuit broke the shadows of mordor story and just googling his name shows it filling the news cycle. Literally just googling this shows one of the most prominent public figures supporting gamergate was literally behind breaking the entire scandal. Even mainstream media like Forbes cited TotalBiscuit on this. You literally can't get even this most basic of facts about what happened and when right and yet you continue to insist that you are completely reliably informed about gamergate because some random people, who you have no proof of even existing, totally told you otherwise.
Mcvos do you have any idea how ridiculous it looks for you to keep insisting "But, uh, random people TOTALLY told me otherwise! I'm not making this up I swear!" without any proof at all while I keep citing back to tons of hard evidence?
But maybe they have. Still, they're not giving remotely as much attention to it as they're giving to Depression Quest.
First off they're barely giving any attention to depression quest in the first place, and even then the attention is because Grayson and Depression Quest are both at the heart of the powderkeg of deplorable conduct going back to last year. Deplorable conduct so offensive to basic human decency that it singlehandedly drove the Escapist to overhaul its policies so it would never happen again and publicly apologize for the part they played in stirring up a vicious lynch mob against a community for people at severe risk of self-harm and suicide. Yknow... exactly the people Depression Quest was supposed to be about and help?
Second you're literally asking why gamergate isn't doing journalists' jobs FOR them. That's a self-answering question. Even though gamergate DID provably give significant attention to Shadows of Mordor (getting its own feature on a youtube channel with two million subscribers).
...and yet all the slurs I've seen first-hand, have come from people defending GamerGate.... Everybody I know who has criticized GamerGate (and of all the gamers I know, nobody supports it) is quite the opposite of that....
Again you're insisting "But it's totes real, HONEST!" without any proof in the face of multiple statistical analyses proving 80-90% of gamergate tweets even directed at those they oppose most strongly are neutral to positive and overwhelming evidence documented across twitter itself and dedicated websites contradicting you here. Leigh Alexander, Arthur Chu, Ian Cheong, Ben Kuchera, Devin Faraci, all of the major leading figures in gaming journalism and on the other side have repeatedly publicly condoned doxing and called people everything from pissbabies to members of the KKK... a cruel irony given the deliberate targeting of black men and other minorities for harassment and abuse, and the fact that Leigh Alexander is a racist and Ian Cheong is a neonazi.
You literally can not miss this unless you deliberately avoid it.
Are you aware that they have a website? Read it. [usu.edu] They confirm the threat, and they increased the security, but they also say that, according to Utah law, they can't ban weapons.
I am aware they have a website. In fact that very website is where they confirmed the threadwas NOT credible. Once again you are woefully uninformed on even the most basic facts.
How many times is this going to happen before you either admit you're wrong or that you're making this up and never actually spoke to anyone in gamergate or did even the most basic of research? I mean fucks sake Mcvos you literally didn't even google "shadows of mordor scandal", TotalBiscuit is mentioned right in the fourth result. That's how completely and utterly ignorant you are about the most basic objective facts.
...and their story is honestly not very credible considering the chat logs where they discuss how to sell their story to the outside world, and what stuff they shouldn't be doing anymore.
Chat logs. You mean the chat logs that were proven to have been heavily edited/faked? The chat logs that if you properly search using proper search terms give completely different results? Those chat logs?
There's a very good reason why GamerGate has such a terrible reputation. That didn't come from nothing; it is exactly because of the behaviour associated with GamerGate.
Seriously? You're going to claim with a straight face that people being treated like shit is in and of itself proof they deserve it? Do you realise you just justified bullying and abuse by claiming that it "[doesn't] come from nothing" and it happens because of the behavior associated with it? You seriously just claimed that 30 people deserved to be doxed and get phonecalls, texts, and emails threatening their lives and families, lose their jobs to racist harassment campaigns, have their bank accounts hacked, income and utilities cut off with fraudulent reports, and get syringes, knives, and dead animals in the mail. You just claimed that women and minorities deserve to be called racial slurs for speaking for themselves against rich white males.
Do you get all of that? Do you get that you just made a claim that's a textbook example of circular logic? I mean shit by your own logic racism didn't come from nothing and people must have deserved it.
Learn to use a dictionary.
So disproving the claim that gamergate is attacking and harassing people isn't disproving the claim that gamergate is attacking and harassing people because you don't know what synonyms are. Gotcha.
So what you're saying is gaslighting and emotional abuse aren't domestic abuse? I'm just going by feminist standards here.
So you admit to making up a cockamamy excuse to refuse to look at any facts that contradict your prejudices based on an arbitrary "rule" you just pulled out of your ass, even though my source DID actually prove exactly what I was saying... particularly in conjunction with the even more thorough second analysis in the second source.
Right there on the same website Psmears:
Throughout the day, Tuesday, Oct. 14, USU police and administrators worked with state and federal law enforcement agencies to assess the threat to our USU community and Ms. Sarkeesian. Together, we determined that there was no credible threat to students, staff or the speaker, and that this letter was intended to frighten the university into cancelling the event.
Ya'll hear about the geometer who went to the beach to catch some rays and became a tangent ?
