Indeed! AI can certainly replace lousy human service because it's hard to suck more than the existing batch. Many service desks are just outsourced India call centers who service hundreds of companies, pretending to be dedicated, and know very little about each co's products; they just follow scripts. They are already de-facto bots.

AI is not near ready to replace competent experienced human service desks, but those are too rare anyhow, unfortunately.

They are new at it. You don't get great overnight.

Yep. Such a surprise.

Being a mindless fanboi does not actually make you insightful. You know that, right?

Thanks. As a CS type with an engineering PhD in the IT area and as a follower of AI research for about 35 years now, I like to think that I am somewhat informed about the capabilities, and more often lack thereof, of "AI". Any type of "insight" (and "informed" falls under that) is completely alien to any AI we have, except, with strong limits, automated deduction. And that gets bogged down in complexity already for very simple things and must be regarded as a failed approach for anything not very specialized.

Early access is a gamble on the honor and capabilities of the publisher. Just expect, say, 50% miss and 50% where you actually get do experience the evolution to a good game. For me, this is worth it and I have done it quite a few times now. If you do not like that gamble, do not buy early access. It is not like the good games coming out of the process will be unavailable later, they will just be more expensive.

Agreed.

And abortion is a crime worth death anyways. Those dastardly peasants _dare_ to take control of their own fertility, that cannot be tolerated! Where should we get new vic^H^H^H^H grateful candidates for our excellent evangelical world-view?

Haha no. But I don't shy away from going all the way on solutions that I deem worth it to improve my quality of life.

Implants aren't fun to put in, they're not cheap, and the devices you use them with - like RFID or NFC locks and such - aren't cheap either. But if you have the money and you're willing to grit your teeth for a few minutes, they're totally worth it. At least that's my opinion.

There is, again if you have the money. I use this stupidly expensive padlock with an equally thick chain.

I hate having stuff on me. Worse: I hate having to remember that I need to take stuff with me, and then realize I need something and I forgot it. To each his own I guess.

I've been through a 2T MRI machine twice and have had numerous X-rays taken, no problem.

I can't count the number of times I've misplaced my keys or cards, or left them at home. Some people are good at never losing those things. I'm not.

But even if you never forget anything, there's nothing like going about your life without ever carrying anything in your pockets. It's truly liberating.

There is no inconvenience: The card is in my hand, and when I'm not using it to pay for something - which is like 99.99% of the time - it's like if it wasn't there. The only inconvenience is getting sliced open to insert it. But that's a 10-minute affair, then 5 minutes to get the stitch out 10 days later.

And no, sadly the card is not truly tokenized. So it has an expiry date. Mine expires in 2029, after which I'll have to have it replaced. But once every 9 years is acceptable for the convenience (I've had mine installed in 2020).

And what defines 'Adult Content' may also vary depending on country.

Sad but true. Failed himan beings.

Sad but true. These people are stuck in the dark ages and want everybody else to get stuck there as well, preferably by force.
