looks like a minecraft house. Honestly, that might do well with some people. If you were blind or hard of vision, it would be very easy to navigate by feel and memory.

That first one looks like he’d deliver milk to your house and sleep with your spouse

i kinda like the new one; Why is electro-magnetic-radiation so fast?

new phones look goofy with all the extra cameras and circles of dubious functionality

i want a phon with no cameras cus i never uses em so why should i pay for hardware i don’t need?

think this was in Issaacc Assimovv’s Robot Visions

AI - minds of raw data, but without any ability to reflect or ground that information in reality

you know you’re actually serious about it when you try to find a niche message board dedicated to thing

monsters are just thinly disguised references to the ruling class

Dragons covet gold, killing sheep and cattle while people starve? Gaawssshhh what could that have been a reference too? Just quirky medieval fairy-tales I guess

ever seen a dollar bin box on the floor of a shop? great way to find weird films

Do I hear 150000 cents for a pre-drained battery still in original packaging, unopened?

Treating things as things -> me, cool, historical

Treating people as things -> you, “logical”

importing the yankee’s hardon for punishment, i see

They put more history in it. That’s practically a service to the museum, a value add. Ought to be commemorated for it, really.

this is a victimless crime that is also crimeless because it shouldn’t be illegal

it’s funny seeing the ocean depicted in games and movies as a vibrant & lively, and then compare it to my one experience of snorkeling, which was the shallow-water equivalent of this. But with more cola cans.

Apple Inc.(AAPL) is a very funny company to be producing adaptations of classic cyberpunk novels

My definition of a Turing machine? I’m not sure you know what Turing machines are. It’s a general purpose computer, described in principle. And, in principle, a computer can only carry out one task at a time. Modern computers are fast, they may have several CPUs stitched together and operating in tandem, but they are still fundamentally limited by this. Bodies don’t work like that. Every part of them is constantly reacting to it’s environment and it’s neighboring cells - concurrently.

You are essentially saying, “Well, the hardware of the human body is very complex, and this software is(n’t quite as) complex; so the same sort of phenomenon must be taking place.” That’s absurd. You’re making a lopsided comparison between two very different physical systems. Why should the machine we built for doing sums just so happen to reproduce a phenomena we still don’t fully understand?
