The problem is that this is a valid argument, a lot of morality ultimately comes down to drawing the line on what you think its ok to kill in order to maintain your survival and comfort.
I still don’t understand how it can seem this way, and the fact that so many people seem to think so feels like a massive failure of the education system to instill the most basic of critical thinking skills. Once every month or two I check in to see if an LLM can achieve a half decent 1 on 1 D&D game and it always falls horribly flat within the first minute or two.

10·3 days agoHonestly I think its China just protecting its economy, western businesses are already finding that AI now costs more than just hiring humans and gives a worse output, the chinese government is just preventing their own economy from falling into the same trap.

101·3 days agoAs someone from outside the US, the problem is your side A is still more B than most countries side B by a pretty large margin (Though one that is concerningly shrinking). But we have seen proof that you can vote in a different side B at a local level and that’s probably the only non-violent way out of this assuming you (and by extension the rest of us) aren’t fucked already.

8·16 days agoI dunno all life today is an example of an unbroken lineage back to the begining of all life in existence (on earth), yes most branches wither and die but there’s also no such thing as a ‘new’ species, just the latest permutation or branch of one that was there before.
