Ok I don't feel like you are getting it. Not only are you wrong, but a lot of people are making the same mistake.

But the robot isn't a real person. So the argument has no merit.

It has never been stated that it is for everyone all the time. Everywhere I have checked, it is more like an insurance policy, like employment insurance, everyone pays in and you get it if you need it. Giving it to everyone would be useless because prices would just go up accordingly!

So? That's one more family whose kids won't be robbing your house.

People who make enough to go without ubi don't still make ubi. It is universal in that it covers anyone universally should they fall on hard times, not universal in that everyone gets it.

I myself want to make more money so I can help out friends and family. I have a friend in the hospital in need of physiotherapy she can't afford, another family member is working his hands to the bone every day just to barely sustain himself in a shitty apartment. In many ways they brought it on themselves, but how do you be human and not feel for them?

Along those lines, they have proven that the people who are successful on dragons den are the ones who sound the most like the dragons, thus making them comfortable enough to invest. It has little to do with being a good idea.

What if the enjoyment came from being one of the few people who could do it?

But once again, there is an element of art to that. The thing you make is going to be your own and not something made in a factory from particle port. Your goal in hand making furniture is not to duplicate something from Ikea because there is no point to that. There is no art or human creativity involved in a decompile. Since your goal is the same thing as the AI, it is like building an Ikea design by hand.

But the point was about decompiling the games, not adding features. A person who enjoyed reverse engineering may not even care about the game itself, much less adding features.

Well if you do understand, you are being pretty damn unemphatic. Maybe the problem is a lack of empathy.

I don't even know what that means

And it's too bad, because I would rather be paid like a doctor or a lawyer.

The difference is that if you hand-knit, you can make things that you can't get otherwise, so there is still a point. On the other hand, there is only one point to decompilation, the code that runs the game. No matter what, the human is beat at that. It's like all the mathematicians out there who don't even know who they are any more because when there is one solution, AI will get there faster.

I feel that a lot of people lack any feeling, therefore they don't understand something that people do just because it makes them feel good.
