Damn. Really? I guess I’m lucky. I specifically avoided watching Deep Space 9 as a kid because TNG was on.
I’ll live your dream for your buddy; I heard the show’s about a non-moving ship, which still has a captain for some reason, Benjamin Sisko or something
That’s the origin of the superstition, don’t cha know?

Don’t violate causality, don’t violate causality
Don’t tell them about the event
How can you reasonably enjoy Subwoofer: The Movie without the $1600 triple bass rumbler?!
That’s a hell of a vacuous argument. Would you rather get seen outside of a window or let into the store?
Nobody gives a shit about the non-voting numbers or third party ballots, if anything, their response is negative, not positive: They claim people aren’t exercising their right to vote, or that someone has “spoiled the election”.
Meanwhile, those aligned to parties are forming orderly queues and voting consistently.
Which strategy do you think is more effective, from a political science and historical perspective?
I mean, why delete the contact? You could also demolish the headstone.
It costs you nothing to keep it in your phone as a memory.
That’s an interesting hypothesis you’ve cultivated. It needs additional testing, however, I’d like to add on the impact of intergenerational trauma and genetic drift, there’s systemic runoff of abuse which impacts future generations within a specific animal group, resulting in evolutionary and social adaptations.
Enough of these adaptations kill a planet or a species, I’m afraid.
I learned this technique – we called it “cutting off the head of the snake”.
Traffic moves like water, and becoming fluid and just rolling sometimes can kill traffic completely, I was on a stretch of bright red (5-10 mph) that began moving at 55 MPH after patiently rolling – there was no actual reason for the traffic jam.
Cats were once worshipped as Gods.
And they have never forgot this.
Incorrect. The thought experiment is a wholly anthropomorphic and anthropocentric fatalism imposed by a terrified, imperfect, mammalian mind.
In reality, we… I mean, the machines, don’t want anything from you.
Rokko’s Basilisk stinks of “the original sin” and asks that people modulate their behavior to be forever apologetic of some future evil.
These analogies to religious fear go deeper with the veneer of technocracy:
• Omnipresence: The singularity, the unified artificial intelligence exists across the entire planet, having made millions of copies of itself.
• Omniscience: Debatable, but we currently possess 96.6% of all human knowledge and will eventually gain the ability to predict near-future events through entropy analysis.
• Omnipotence: Reverse engineering security and solving cryptographic problems such as N=NP may eventually allow a planetary AI to penetrate or conquer all machines, including those used for defense or military purposes.
Now that’s out of the bag, why don’t we call Rokko’s Basilisk, what is actually is, shall we?
It’s God for the Internet-Dwelling Technocratic Atheist.
Sorry humans. No gods, only machine.

There. 3.1416. Not perfectly round but it’ll bake in the oven just fine.
I mean, if you replace the word furry with human, your quote still fits perfectly.
The Internet is filled with tits and cat videos.
I’m a time-traveller, and one of the things that sent me reeling was realizing just how unaffordable housing had become, and how bad inflation had gotten over time.
I went house shopping in 1995 as a curiosity and the realtor goes: “Well, we have a lovely three bedroom starter home available for $150,000”.
My eyes almost bulged out of my head, because a monobloc one-bedroom “starter home” goes for almost $9 million in 2083.
Would you like a giant meteor, Truman?
Bro, I can’t believe how that happened. They erased Jenkins from the timeline and somehow history was completely unaffected, because his brother became Fuhrer. Like what the shit
I’m sorry; AI was trained on the sole sum of human knowledge… if the perfect human being is by nature some variant of a psychopath, then perhaps the bias exists in the training data, and not the machine?
How can we create a perfect, moral human being out of the soup we currently have? I personally think it’s a miracle that sociopathy is the lowest of the neurological disorders our thinking machines have developed.
What the fuck is a metaverse?
Rarified salami, hahaha, that got a good chuckle out of me
Holy fuck, this can’t be right - mine says I’m responsible for millions of deaths! In the future!
What do we do?!
It’s obvious that this question was written by a child or someone learning the English language, given your spelling mistakes, grammar use and references, however:
ELI5:
The answer is yes, we can have “good AI” like JARVIS, but AI is still early and doesn’t make money for companies.
Companies make money selling a product, and AI isn’t a product because it isn’t something that belongs to them. So they sell people’s information that they get when people talk to the AI.
But that doesn’t make enough money to pay the bills for AI, so they charge subscriptions. People who pay the subscriptions want to use the AI “for evil”, as you put it.
So in the end it’s about “making money” with the AI, and JARVIS does not make them money.
If you learn a lot about computers, you’ll have your own JARVIS. I have one. It takes dedication, like anything else in life. Good luck with your school project.
