It is the only reality, my point is related to the story at hand, which proposes launching people into space for hundreds of years, where they will die obviously and they *may* decide to breed and have offspring who will at least have an explanation as to why their parents and grandparents, etc. decided to move from this planet in an attempt to find something else. If there is no story there is no reason for them to continue either breeding in space or continuing their journey rather than turning back or doing something else entirely, once they are off this planet there is nothing anyone here can do to prevent the people there from making other decisions.

funny, because it is true. The living never cared about the fate of their offspring, that is why they exist. Once species starts caring, it stops existing, which is good, that is what should happen once you stop putting next generations into this reality because this reality is miserable. This reality is miserable because it is full of people who are given instruments to make it miserable, instruments like voting. This instruments in the hands of the people cause reality to get worse with each passing year, since we consistently elect people who set agenda driven towards the lowest common denominator in every category. We get the worst outcomes due to us being stupid monkeys on average and we get this with an ever increasing efficiency of robotic execution, especially now driven with AI.

The only reason to move to another planet is a iron clad, rock solid way of governance that does not rely on voting and removes humans from government roles completely. I cannot imagine what other justification would someone accept for forfeiting their lives in space this way except for escaping the stupid miserable reality we are so busy building on th8s planet.

Comment civilization isn't worth it (Score 0) 138

do you really want this civilization? I mean this is the civilization we have built, these are the people populating it, these are the people in the government, this is the level of understanding, of common sense or lack of it, these are the consequences of democratic system that promotes the descent into the lowest common denominator. When I drive, I see most other cars around me, they are obstacles, it is as if nobody is in any hurry, everybody is exactly where he or she wants to be. Taking off at a green light, I look in the rear view mirror, 300 meters later, cars only started moving, it is not normal. Is everyone asleep or is the world really not in a hurry to do anything? So I believe everyone is comfortable, nothing will change because of some girl being dragged through the worst the system has to offer because of her words or text, be it a bad joke or an actual cry for help. Nobody helped her.

Not one person helped her, there is 0 help, everything was thrown at her as if she was a disease, an enemy on the front line and as if this made the rest of the people safe somehow. Maybe they should just put her down for the words, that would really make the world safer from her, no more words from that girl. She wouldn't be able to take any action either, when she is 6 feet under the world is safer. Why not? What is the real difference, treating her the way she was treated or just eliminating her? Less expense, less room for error, I mean at this point, after she has been through this, is the rest of the people safer from her in the future? What if this situation actually turns the key in her mind that makes her want revenge later in life? I would bet she hates everyone more today than the day before the incident.

If she had the button to push to take out everyone involved in this now, maybe she is more inclined to push this button after the system put her through the works.

The civilization breeds people who are not in a hurry to do anything, who believe they need the governments to protect them from everything, including this girl.

This civilization cannot survive its own complete lack of humanity, it is rotten, it is the system of robots acting on the dumbest impulses of monkeys.

Every day, some "immediate family member" sexually abuses their children. So that point is quite moot.

Children are not the property of their parents and the parents shall not be allowed to reanimate the dead, either.

Would you be ok with the parents reanimating their dead adult children, nudify them and earn money via OnlyFans? No? WHY THE HELL NOT?

Same thing.

Our society is predicated upon the notion that we honor and respect the dead. No one has the right to change that.

Things like this will lead to very hard legal limits placed on what AI will be allowed to do or asked to do.

Do we allow digging up corpses to use as halloween decoration? No? Why not?

Then why would we allow digging up corpses to dress up and use as talking heads for whatever agenda or product?

Reanimating dead people with AI will be a highly punishable offense very soon.

Comment Re:Really bad idea. (Score 1) 126

If it becomes permissible to use deepfakes of dead children to parrot whatever you want them to say in order to further a political agenda, then anything is possible.

And while they're at it, they can use the same deepfake AI to have the same dead child recommend a beer brand that the AI thinks this child would have chosen if he grew up to be old enough to drink beer.

It is the most disgusting form of actual necromancy. Digging and dressing up corpses and using them as talking puppets.

I always knew that America is morally corrupt, but holy moly is this a new low even your them.

Reviving dead children as puppets to make them parrot your own chosen political message is a disgusting piece of brainwashing.

It's a far cry from using photos and placing them next to political messages.

But making it look like the dead themselves are back to life to tell everyone about a political message chosen for them is impossible to endure.

If you disagree, please tell us: Why not have a lifelike AI-based replication of famous murder cases appear in advertisements for car insurance or medical products? Have them laugh and joke about their own death a little, recommending the viewer to take medication X instead, so they don't end up dead like them. Why not? Let's have some AI-generated advertising where George Floyd and Geoffrey Epstein recommend vacation resorts on private islands in the Carribean? WHY THE HELL NOT?

Why have any amount of decency when you can instead further your own agenda with anything that works?

Just wait a few months, it WILL be the entire Western internet like this.

They are currently trying to ban and censor and block the entire internet for the entire West, by any means necessary.

Too many users on too many platforms have been noticing about who actually controls the West and banning individual accounts or entire platforms is not going to curb that anymore. So they ban the entire internet for the West.

I really need legislation against aging and against health issues and against death please. Can we legislate these away? I mean I understand somebody has to make a buck and so they want to legislate away automation, but as long as we are on this path, of legislating away things that hurt some, can we legislate away things that hurt all? Thank you.

Corporate culture x boomer mindset.

Boomers usually buy the cheapest thing if it is generic, but boomers recoil in existential horror from dropping a trusted brand name.

Corporate culture amplifies that risk aversion 100x so that even other gen people fear making a switch like this somewhere.

Try getting a person over 60-65 to change their phone or ISP contract, drop cable or landline, buy a car from a different brand or whatever. They will protest loudly and probably refuse to do that.

And that generation currently owns the most money.

Vendors have recognized that and are now bleeding them dry before they finally leave the corporate offices for their retirement.
