Comment There is no democracy on a global scale.. (Score 1) 183

It seems the premise of the article is somewhat silly.. Pandoraâ(TM)s box is open and no amount of faffing about how many angels fit on the head of a pit will change that. There is no if to contemplate.. and yes, you can take yourself out of the race but you will still experience the consequences of the race, except now you had no sway on the direction the final form will take nor be as influential as the participants. If a country wants to persue it then not being part of that is practically rolling over to their agi..

Comment Made with ai labels are meaningless (Score 1) 69

Games have had generated content, content, levels, maps, textures, sounds, speech since ever.. some of the most beloved games have procedurally generated content.. no one who thought, “wouldn’t it be nice to have npc in no man sky” or “wouldn’t it be eat if I could speak to all the npc” and had an iq higher than 80 expected that each line of dialogue or content to be hand made by humans at a meaningful scale. All the new generation of tools do is make it easier and cheaper for much smaller studios and content producers to make. I think we could make a case for “hand made” game labels for regressive or conservative gamers.

Comment Re:Canhave higher birthrate or 24x7 work but not b (Score 1) 184

I think the birth rate problem will take care of itself. As there are less and less people the costs to the remaining will inflate, a declining workforce will be paying incrementally more and more tax, be required to work more hours and have a much later retirement age. At some point having children at 40 will become more financially untenable than in your 20s. This will mostly be achieved by giving financial incentives such as higher taxes, insurance rates and age limits on single and childless households, it won’t be phrased like that but rather involve being excused using cost of housing or the privilege. Personally I don’t think this birthdate decline thing is unwanted. It’s a lot cheaper just for industry to have less to output slowly over a few decades, than pay for the social changes needed to combat climate change.

This shouldn’t be the case for anything except third-party data. Even then, it should be held to a standard of what’s reasonable. A business should be able to know when a customer visited, what they looked at, how they arrived, and what search or referral brought them in. That’s reasonable as a default. Instead of regulating the data collection industry around what’s fair to collect and sell, the burden was pushed onto visitors at the cost of businesses. That’s what makes this a ruined internet. All of this goes away inside walled gardens like the Facebook app or the Google app. They can still collect data with far wider reach and with far less friction. So really this is just anti business and consumer and pro big business.. it was practically handing them a way to deepen their exclusivity .

Comment Re:Lacking definitions (Score 1) 175

To be honest, I think we tend to go out of our way to classify masturbation involving others or consensual molestation of others as sex for sake of the feelings of those involved. We use euphemism to craft socially acceptable terminology that sound sex like blurring the line to effectively make anything sexual actual sex or rather shifting the biological meaning to a social one.
