In my experience so far, for every one AI-generated artpiece that was a genuine improvement over the alternative of "nothing" or "imagining it by reading a text meme", there are 10 thousand pieces of absolute slop that should have never been published with less effort than it took me to scroll past. I'm willing to take the tradeoff: a few true intellects publish a few less gems, in exchange for no more slop. We were not in danger of not having Enough Shit To See On The Internet as it was.
If I was AI regulation czar I'd consider the middle ground: you can generate all you want for personal use but you can't clog other people's eyeballs with it.

Impressive if true, you'd have to have been running this con a few months before I actually asked you about RI.

- mute servers unless every single message on there is important
- mute channels you don't need so they don't light up
- mute categories
- set notification settings on the server to "only @mentions" or none
- don't join silly servers
This should be enough that you only see the big red (1) if someone addressed you directly or has the privilege to ping everyone.
I've been using discord mostly for keeping tabs on specific games' updates as well as a few thematic communities, as well as a personal friends' group. I have no recollection of any server being that silly besides, ironically, the motte/rdrama BotC server. If I don't need to watch a server, I don't even quit it, I just mute it completely and move it down the list.

There seems to be a relatively heavy emphasis on the "elder spiritual instructor" archetype in Orthodoxy, so I assume a beard is a status symbol.

Did he age, or is it just the beard?

The point of the objection about having it be 15 year old is that it's not yet an open and shut total domination of the bottom male percentiles over the top female percentiles (which is required for making kids grok the sex difference), not that she'll be roughly as good.

My assumption is that the difference between a median 15yo boy and one who seriously does sports is more than "somewhat more athletic". On top of the training, they're going to be selected for natural testosterone levels, perhaps even artificial testosterone levels, higher chance of being on the later end of 15 year old if not outright age fraud, etc.

They aren't a replacement for a junior dev, as the Dev will get better, whilst llms at best will be iteratively better if they keep getting billions to burn.
You seem to be ignoring that while junior devs have to get better separately and each new generation of devs has to gain experience anew (until we have direct knowledge brain-grafts), LLMs just stay better once they got better.

who hasn't heard of "show, don't tell".
Fang Yuan let out a breath of turbid air. He was an old fox, the aspect of how [a particular aspect of cultivation that isn't even relevant much to the current narration], it was extremely clear to him. As for so-called conciseness and elegance, he did not give a damn. Beauty, ugly, did that really matter to Fang Yuan? He he he... The only thing that mattered was eternal life!
(I will not let this go)

If the only thing you do with whales is hunt, then understanding hunting them is understanding them in general.

That sounds like shit. I only wish that if I'm ever unfortunate enough for such a situation I'd weaponise my autism enough to wall the redhead out and out-annoy the security guy until they either make me leave or fuck off.

"Life being worth living" suggests that there is a person who would appreciate that life. Debate is out on whether the nascent brain activity of a fetus counts as a person.

Men go to war knowing that many will die, but fewer would if the purpose was to die for sure. I assume it's likewise with sports - there are none I know of where you must stand there and take the nut shot with no protection or dodging allowed.

It's still begging the question.

I'd assume in the ancestral environment the young women would be mostly daughters and nieces or otherwise related to the older women. So it wouldn't be competition, it would be trying to spread one's genes more.
"Already old and has grandchildren" is quite the goalpost movement. When I think of the modal "lonely male" it's not someone who already has grandchildren, it's someone who never had children yet, or estranged from them in a divorce.

This is the kind of guy they make uplifting youtube videos about. "This man has been picking pineapples for 30 YEARS, this is his story.".

If your only concern is that I'm saying "AI might kill us" rathen than "people who instantiated a particularly unpredictable AI that has 'might kill us' as a possible emergent function might kill us", I'm glad to oblige, but it doesn't really change any argument. There's no AI that might kill us right now, therefore the people who would create it are to blame whether it's """truly""" agentic or not.

What does materialism or lack thereof have to do with being effectively agentic? If the AI is going to kill all of us the last thing I care about is whether it had free will or a light inside its mind.

I gotta say, knowing the context doesn't make this look much less like 3am drunk philosophy.

See, you're already adding qualifiers like "meaningfully". For you to believe "meaningfully" seems to mean that you have to accept the conclusion that brains of different ethnicities have been subjected to divergent evolution enough to have significant impact on group capabilities.

The NOTSEE acronym is kind of obvious, so I suspected it was cribbed even though I've never studied the original.

When did they show that Strange could do that? All I recall is him reversing time for specific objects, making clones sounds like it would be something that makes things worse even if he could do it, such as by creating Homestuck-esque "doomed timelines".
If he returns to the past with the time stone it just means quickload, not Ctrl X Ctrl V.
Later on, when they timetravel with Pym Particles it's explicit that they travel to alternate past, not their own.
I don't know about the ratio of technical quality. But as it stands right now, AI art is largely samey and even the best specimen (that I could identify, obviously) have the trademark sameyness and do not exceed the best human artwork.
Suppose you searched for a particular topic on a picture website, before AI boom it'd be a normal distribution from, say, 30% human ability to 99% (with the bottom tail cut off because the people who can only draw stickmen with a pencil usually don't publish them). After, we get a massive injection of 60%, and it's all in the same style.
