For one, I think it would be immoral to create an actual intelligence to work for us. With a Human-like intelligence, we’d have to assume that it’s conscious, as we have no way of determining the opposite. We’d essentially create a caste of digital slaves.

That aside, I think the potential for abuse is far greater than any benefits. Making the human mind a replaceable thing, and thus diminishing the value of a human, would be incredibly dangerous. Right now, people in power can’t keep that power without some level of human support. Humans can employ their free will to rise up if need be. Giving that up would not be worth the cheap doctors.

Outlawing it entirely would be best IMO. “Thou shalt not make a machine in the likeness of a human mind”, to quote Dune. Create something like the Geneva convention that makes it a crime against humanity.

Are we finally getting there?

Mistakes happen but even then, convicting someone with that little evidence is pretty fucking egregious. He was clearly presumed guilty.

The one-child policy was abolished in 2015, but birth rates have continued to decline after that. They currently have one of the world’s lowest fertility rates.

Usually not, but for some games it takes ages and I do end up skipping them. For example with Deadlock it took like 30-45 minutes after every update. Started skipping it at some point and never noticed any difference in performance.

I’d go for a prebuilt unless you really need that particular form factor. A slightly larger prebuilt with similar specs will not only be slightly cheaper, but also have better performance (due to the Steam Machine being quite limited by thermals and power draw).

I think laws could be used to put some stronger responsibilities on the parents. Unfortunately, some of them don’t care whether their children are on social media or what they do on there at all. So when something happens to a child who was too young to join social media, parents would bear some responsibility for that. Guidance is great, but not everyone will take that offer. I’m not in favor of abolishing the minimum drinking age (which is 14 here btw) either.

Notably none of the questions they asked were about age verification though. I support a minimum age for social media too, but I don’t support age verification measures.

In many games it does, but I’m not sure this comparison is a good example of that, as it shows persistent CPU stutter on Linux. With those spikes, Windows would be the smoother experience even if the average frametimes are slightly better on Linux.
