Americans don't WALK across their cities because

You know why.

You know exactly why.

The entire urban landscape of the USA can be explained by a very very very simple thing. It started on Dec. 18th, 1865 or much earlier, when they all were brought to the US in the first place.

Everything and everyone wants to get away from them, paying any price they can or driving as far as they need to.

If ruzzian terrorist putin arrives to Alaska and instead of immediately arresting and throwing him to jail and then offering ruzzia to start actual negotiations Trump meets with him to discuss anything at all, I believe this will mark the end of the USA as a nation altogether. You can then forget about your very concept of laws, don't bother, there is nothing, just emptiness and pointlesness.

I routinely listen (and watch) anything that is not music at 1.5, but I find that in the last year or so I went up to 2.5, sometimes 3, rarely 4. I definitely do not fit the definition of a young American though.

I am smug enough to surround myself with people smarter than me who can also handle themselves. You are clearly do not fall into any of these categories.

I did say this though:

I did try to 'remind' the LLM what it was supposed to know anyway, it couldn't work even from the newly provided list.

I understand that humans can no longer beat chess engines, I am not a good player, I dabble. I also understand that LLMs have no real memory or game state, etc. Asked ChatGPT5 to play a game yesterday, I set up a physical board, it drew ascii board and used annotations. For a little while it was OK, maybe the first 15 moves or so. It wasn't beating me, it was balanced at first, however it started behaving as a drunk would. Forgot how pieces move, forgot where some pieces were, forgot that it was white and would tell me that it is white's move instead, couldn't redraw the board from the list of moves, I pasted all of the moves, it couldn't draw an accurate board, basically fell apart on me after a little while. When things get too complex and require either actual thinking or specialized algorithms and databases it failed. It is not intelligence, just a poor simulation.

imagine, I don't surround myself with employees who would throw a temper tantrum when presented with any challenge. They can try and fail, they can present an opposite scenario or whatever, as long as they don't go ape shit crazy I work with them. I have fired a few people over the last decade who failed at this.

See, I wouldn't hire you, you just went ape shit over absolutely nothing. First of all I never ask really irrelevant questions in my interviews, however I do pose scenarios that are obviously linked just to the job description itself, I want to see if the candidate can handle himself and how he thinks, more importantly I want to see him or her handle the interview.

Not a chance. I have around 960 people right now, I only participate in 3rd interview for a few positions, BAs, PMs, things like that. It saves me untold amount of time when a person goes off like this during an interview because he doesn't like something this severely, I will never hire a person like that, not a team player, I don't have space for snowflakes who cannot handle a little bit of a curve-ball or an odd question without going nuts.

It is the only reality, my point is related to the story at hand, which proposes launching people into space for hundreds of years, where they will die obviously and they *may* decide to breed and have offspring who will at least have an explanation as to why their parents and grandparents, etc. decided to move from this planet in an attempt to find something else. If there is no story there is no reason for them to continue either breeding in space or continuing their journey rather than turning back or doing something else entirely, once they are off this planet there is nothing anyone here can do to prevent the people there from making other decisions.

funny, because it is true. The living never cared about the fate of their offspring, that is why they exist. Once species starts caring, it stops existing, which is good, that is what should happen once you stop putting next generations into this reality because this reality is miserable. This reality is miserable because it is full of people who are given instruments to make it miserable, instruments like voting. This instruments in the hands of the people cause reality to get worse with each passing year, since we consistently elect people who set agenda driven towards the lowest common denominator in every category. We get the worst outcomes due to us being stupid monkeys on average and we get this with an ever increasing efficiency of robotic execution, especially now driven with AI.

The only reason to move to another planet is a iron clad, rock solid way of governance that does not rely on voting and removes humans from government roles completely. I cannot imagine what other justification would someone accept for forfeiting their lives in space this way except for escaping the stupid miserable reality we are so busy building on th8s planet.

do you really want this civilization? I mean this is the civilization we have built, these are the people populating it, these are the people in the government, this is the level of understanding, of common sense or lack of it, these are the consequences of democratic system that promotes the descent into the lowest common denominator. When I drive, I see most other cars around me, they are obstacles, it is as if nobody is in any hurry, everybody is exactly where he or she wants to be. Taking off at a green light, I look in the rear view mirror, 300 meters later, cars only started moving, it is not normal. Is everyone asleep or is the world really not in a hurry to do anything? So I believe everyone is comfortable, nothing will change because of some girl being dragged through the worst the system has to offer because of her words or text, be it a bad joke or an actual cry for help. Nobody helped her.

Not one person helped her, there is 0 help, everything was thrown at her as if she was a disease, an enemy on the front line and as if this made the rest of the people safe somehow. Maybe they should just put her down for the words, that would really make the world safer from her, no more words from that girl. She wouldn't be able to take any action either, when she is 6 feet under the world is safer. Why not? What is the real difference, treating her the way she was treated or just eliminating her? Less expense, less room for error, I mean at this point, after she has been through this, is the rest of the people safer from her in the future? What if this situation actually turns the key in her mind that makes her want revenge later in life? I would bet she hates everyone more today than the day before the incident.

If she had the button to push to take out everyone involved in this now, maybe she is more inclined to push this button after the system put her through the works.

The civilization breeds people who are not in a hurry to do anything, who believe they need the governments to protect them from everything, including this girl.

This civilization cannot survive its own complete lack of humanity, it is rotten, it is the system of robots acting on the dumbest impulses of monkeys.

Every day, some "immediate family member" sexually abuses their children. So that point is quite moot.

Children are not the property of their parents and the parents shall not be allowed to reanimate the dead, either.

Would you be ok with the parents reanimating their dead adult children, nudify them and earn money via OnlyFans? No? WHY THE HELL NOT?

Same thing.

Our society is predicated upon the notion that we honor and respect the dead. No one has the right to change that.

You remember that one group that has been using one of their kid's diaries for political pressuring the world for 80 years now.

What group do you think did the ridiculous stunt today?

Things like this will lead to very hard legal limits placed on what AI will be allowed to do or asked to do.

Do we allow digging up corpses to use as halloween decoration? No? Why not?

Then why would we allow digging up corpses to dress up and use as talking heads for whatever agenda or product?

Reanimating dead people with AI will be a highly punishable offense very soon.
