what the heck EA forum doesn’t have a block feature? That’s just… ew.
You don’t need a block feature if you’re as insufferable as the average EA /j

Do you really think “cult” is a useful category/descriptor here?
My view: things identified as “cults” have a bunch of good traits. EA should, where possible, adopt the good traits and reject the bad ones, and ignore whether they’re associated with the label “cult” or not.
Granted, this was back when Musk’s public perception was at its most positive - it would take until the Thai cave diver incident in July 2018 before we saw the first hole being blown in Musk’s “IRL Tony Stark” image.
Somewhat fittingly, that incident played out on Twitter, whose acquisition by Musk has done plenty to showcase his true colours.
Just say he’s yapping, because that’s all this dipshit’s doing
“Not Like Us” was less scathing than this. Fucking hell.
This Is Financial Advice would’ve been a much better video to make that point with - that video was about a financial doomsday cult centered around a dying mall retailer, and doesn’t start going into anything particularly heavy until near the end.
The Fake Nerd Boys of Silicon Valley isn’t directly about TESCREAL, but its dissection of Silicon Valley’s complete and utter misunderstanding of sci-fi/fantasy does still work wonders against Yudkowsky et al’s views IMO.
I’d bet good money any judge reading this is gonna go “Yep, this kid does not want to change” and ramp up the sentence as a result.
Bold of a fucking Harry Potter fanfic writer to be giving dating advice
After the general shitshow regarding Hard Drive back in November, I’m not shocked they missed this hard.
Even if one had the means necessary to carry out a bioterrorist attack, simply bombing a place is much easier, faster and safer.
If an AI winter does happen, I expect it’ll be particularly lengthy/severe. Unlike previous AI hype cycles, this particular cycle has come with some serious negative externalities (large-scale copyright infringement, climate change/water consumption, the flood of AI slop, disinformation, etc).
Said externalities have turned the public strongly against AI, to the point where refusing to use it has become a viable marketing strategy.
You want my suspicion, any further AI research will probably be viewed with immediate distrust, at least for a while.
