A key difference is that animals exists here and now, and I think most humans would viscerally understand animal shouts of pain as requests for help/food/space etc..

The quote is less about the unborn, and more about the real and ignored needs of disenfranchised people.

Help your fellow humans first and foremost, (which I would argue is well served by treating animals well, for sanitary, eco-system, or even selfish mental well-being by not having our souls marred by brutality)

Actual beings with needs: humans, animals > the unborn >>>>>> unrealistic hypothetical humans.

It rings very true,

The [un]simulated, with the extra icky purpose of presenting of veneer of ethics to back any an all arguments under the sun, to pour money into the latest fad that tickles a billionaire's fancy.

You can't quite (yet) do that with pro-life advocacy.

Saying “prime reason” Is maybe overselling it a bit ^^.

I think the fact it’s Japan let’s them a bit too uncritically act amazed though, for the lady in red one: the location is reminiscent of Shibuya but doesn’t exist and doesn’t make sense, the text on billboards and signs is scribbely gibberish, and the woman face changes over the course of the video.

(Everyone should be unsettled by the godawful lack of perspective)

General weebishness is probably a bigger factor, though I wish I could gatekeep them out of that descriptor.

It underscores a bit of a universal delusion with Potemkin shitbots in general. People lauding the outputs, into languages (visual art, foreign language, programming, apparently inorganic chemistry, ...) that they don't speak, and since it passes the first glance test, they don't even think to look twice.

I think this is actually part of the reason why the prime reason (subconsciously or otherwise) they choose Japan for their main SORA video, the overall exotic nature decreases the uncanny valley factor.

E/Acc where Might makes Right, is the not at all repulsive and most ontologically sound source for ethics! Not at all burting at the seems with perverted eugenics, it's not morally dubious if none of your enemies survive to criticise you!

What's the reward function for simulating me, I live a pretty dull life, what possible ROI this goes against all laws of economics 101! (The only true way to carve reality at the joints.)

LLM’s aren’t nearly random enough to ever produce the entire works of Shakespeare, no matter how much infinite time you give them (though I’m sure they are capable of abominable stitchings of regurgitated quotes/snippets).

It’s always baffling when people (who’ve given it adequate thought) take library of babel type of things seriously, while ignoring the overwhelming amount of nonsense, that would be hard to separate unless all you looking for is an exact echo of your query.

I was really puzzled by it until I realized it’s supposed to be the “stop” button. ▶️⏸️⏹️

Now I am cringing at someone who would deliberately choose being so obtuse and cryptic.

Yud "It's just a joke bro": The lack of punctuation makes it an obvious joke! Let me spend the rest of this thread defending the divine truth of this joke to the bitter end.

The saddest thing is that transparency is sort of good advice, but his twisted soul sees others as tools rather than people, I guess in his case transparency lets people know to stay clear.

Not since 2013! https://gs.statcounter.com/browser-market-share/all/belarus/2014 still has a large presence though. (20% in poland!)

I'd go further and combine it with the similarly good "Potemkin AI" to make "Potemkin Botshit"

Time is a flat circle: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minitel see "pink messages".

Presumably this ought to quicken to death of Twitter, so it's not necessarily ALL bad news. In the meantime there is always copy paste, it's not perfect receipts, but it's sufficient for most sneering purposes.

EDIT: It is a bit nuts considering the number of Official Agencies world wide that issue press releases on twitter, and not really anywhere else convenient to access by the general public (Although that is also them displaying questionnable practices.)

To name only but a few.

No empire was ever born before 600 BCE (no no, the egyptians don't count), and no clear works of fiction, intended mostly to be dessiminated thorugh text ever existed before the 11th Century (You can dismiss anything prior as mere works of philosophy, poetry or mythology)

Happy holidays!

Only solved by receving heavy hints from other's solution, and it still took me forever. By far the hardest this year.

Replying in OP: Yeah, Lemmy punishes old threads/posts a bit too much for my taste ^^.

Day 18: Lavaduct Lagoon
