“Well, I also was good at finding faults in anyone who were trying to improve some things and attack them for not improving all things.”

People picking leaves off plants and damaging them is clearly shitty, and I can see why they would prevent “no it fell off by itself honest” as an excuse.

You think Humans aren’t pumping out 100% derivative works all the time?

Don’t worry. I don’t think that.

A big hope I have for AI is that 100% derivative work by humans is now easier to call out. If a rock with a 9V battery could produce it, why should we value it?

That’s shitty. It effectively removes the ability to communicate in anything but English.

E.g. some frequently used words that are non-slurs: fag (nordics, meaning class/course), retard (french train stations will display this when trains are delayed). Living in Norway, I have frequently been frustrated when MMOs wouldn’t let me talk to friends in my native language without censoring or even handing out bans.

I see the point you are trying to make, but have you considered the criminal US actions in Syria and how the US has evil imperial powers proxy wars and love nazis and make wars happen?

In conclusion: Whatever it is that you said, US bad, therefore you wrong.

Randomness can give novel combinations, sure, but we shouldn’t call than an original idea.

As for the various ways humans come up with original ideas, they are based on a level of reflection, reasoning and thought processing. We know that’s not possible for an LLM: while they are complex in their details, the way they work is very well defined. They imitate.

This concerns me:

stories of 100,000+ words from a single prompt

An LLM excels at making passable derivative work. It does not, by definition, come up with original ideas.

What are you going to do with 100,000+ words of 100% derivative writing where anything potentially original can be summed up in a prompt of a few dozen words?

Will this be published or sold somewhere? Undercutting or crowding out original works?

Give me an A! L! B! U! …

Remain indoors.

Seasons of Bergen, Norway:

December - February: Cold and dark and wet season. Stock up on antidepressants, good food, “Hygge”-paraphenelia, asthma medication and remain indoors.

March - mid-July: Cold and green season.

Mid-July: Summer!!!

Mid-July - August: “pretend it is still summer”-season. Yes, we can grill and drink beer in the garden dammit just put on an extra jacket.

September: Wet and windy season.

October - November: Soggy cold season. Shoes and jackets go to the Drying Rack, not on the regular rack.

addenum: june-august is also barely-nighttime season. Sun “goes down” at 22:00 and remains barely under the horizon until 04:00 so the sky just stays bright. Good luck explaining to your toddler that it is night and time to sleep.

Seasons are bullshit anyway

The DOOMs

Easy: purge the oppressed!

The notion of “state” differs wildly across people, so that probably adds to the confusion.

The core concept is that ownership of a thing belongs to the people of the thing. This is where it clashes with feudalism and capitalism, where ownership of e.g. a farm is not held by the farm workers.

The organizational unit is “group of people cooperating”, or a “commune”. This can be small, like a hippie farm, or it can be big - a traditional state.

A democratic state can be communist if it forbids private ownership of common resources. I.e. your house is your house and your car is your car but some rich fuck can’t decide to build a fence around the local hiking trail.

An authoritarian state may technically be communist if it is strongly democratic. That is theoretical. The ones currently claiming communism are dictatorships.

Yeah, it’s clear some of the angriest critics completely missed that. :D

Not bad. Most reliable critics point out it’s solid, with some flaws in dialogue and drag in the combat system. Inter-person relationship building in the expanded cast seems to be a strong part. My personal category of the game is “it has a punk soul”, which I tend to value higher than any flaws a thing may have.

It is also very much a deliberate “Fuck you! Fight me!” entry in the culture war, so the reactionary responses are correspondingly strong and angry.

Sorry to hear that. Sounds awful.

But yes, am aware. I understood the scenario as detaining cognizant patients.

What is the premise? Most countries, US included, does not grant doctors, nurses or any medical professionals or staff the power to hold people against their will.

say you force a cognizant patient to stay at your unit

This is not remotely allowed
