No, “The Game” works only as long as you accept to take part in it, to give validity to the empty statement that you are now inevitably playing “The Game”.

The Basilisk is meant to force that onto you, outside of any arbitraty convention.

TIL.

It sounds like it’s mostly a matter that does not involve the AI but the people working on it, maybe even working on it because of the fear they are subjected to after being the subject of this revelation (possibly by other people involved in the AI that coincidentally are the only ones that could push for such a thing to be included in the AI!).

Something something any cult, paradise/hell, God/AI has nothing to do with this and could even not exist at all.

it’s just an example of how one can spoil something without you knowing what they mean the moment they do it, and get it spoiled later.

The marketing oversold the idea that if you wanted to do something it would amaze you to find it was expected by the designers.

Most of the, I thought at the time, very obvious thing I wanted to explore thematically were not there. Also, Romance felt clunky and unnuanced.

He’s one of the most prominent privacy advocate in the world, maybe the most impactful in the history of digital technology. He’s relevant no matter the “quality of his sources”.

In this instance specifically the topic is literally NSA.

Are you for real?

You’ll undertand when that becomes an explicit doubt in your head, and you will instantly have the answer.

Snake-scented oil. (1% snake oil)

Hence, HS crush.

The loving father dies. It means nothing to you now but the instant you start watching the show it will activate and sap you of enjoyment.

Worst take ever.

I’m on LineageOS since 2016, something may have changed but I usually look up their supported hardware and pick a phone based on that. You may have to look at something relatively recent or you could end up meeting the end of their official support, which then goes into some les reliable unofficial support by random people you can find mostly on XDA.

Personally I’m looking next to a second hand Pixel, mostly out of curiosity.

Edit: forgot to address the “why”: to keep in touch with society without letting strangers access to my stuff.

I use trains to move around within my country, from a couple of hours to 4 or 5 for some long weekend trips.

I’ve been trying my best to stick to trains for longer trips but it’s not easy: it takes a lot longer (and that’s, well, expected and the least of the issues), it’s less confortable (I took some night trains and the quality of my rest was very bad, so much so it impacts the quality of my first day abroad) but most of all, it’s not less, not as mu ch as, but MORE expensive than planes.

I keep myself motivated by running this https://lowtrip.fr/ and keeping a lifelong count of the CO2 I’ve contributed to.

It’s essentially a luxury though.

Not really? If disks are encrypted good luck getting anything out of it. A remote access to a running machine? It’s all laid there.

Make it IBM T43 and Oblivion.

In this vein.

I keep reading about these crazy good affordable impossible to compete against electric Chinese cars.

Like… What models exactly so i can… avoid them?

Spoken like a true incel.

it is not out of the ordinary in Italy, where commemorations of this type take place every year

It is, luckily. You usually find out from the news, it’s not like we are used to see such display going on day in and day out without taking notice.

The trend has never stopped where I’m from. The hate is burning as bright as ever.

Plase stop doing science in the field of phylosophy, we are not looking for “whatever works” here.

Sure, and you are meant to wake up again, eventually. The story doesn’t make sense as “you are a PhD that get enrolled as a spacetime warrior to get deployed once and then retired in the void eternally”.
