I think it's almost at the point where the only games that don't work are games with anti cheat that refuse to play nicely.

Well no one can prove they have a mind to anyone other than themselves.

And to extend that, there's obviously a way for electrical information processing to give rise to consciousness. And no one knows how that could be possible.

Meaning something like a true, alien AI would probably conclude that we are not conscious and instead are just very intelligent meat computers.

So, while there's no reason to believe that current AI models could result in consciousness, no one can prove the opposite either.

I think the argument currently boils down to, "we understand how AI models work, but we don't understand how our minds work. Therefore, ???, and so no consciousness for AI"

He's successful in spite of himself. He makes terrible decisions constantly.

For people who value reading: if they have no books on their shelves. They might be avid readers of ebooks, or just use the library.

But this should clear itself up with a rather simple discussion started by mentioning a book you read recently.

The people who claim "real estate value!" have just latched onto the simplest reason they can which aligns with their worldview.

The reasons I suspect companies are forcing return to office are more:

  • shareholders don't like unused assets, so they tell the ceo to "use it or lose it"
  • the people who make the decision have the type of extroverted personality where they actually do work better in the office and they can't fathom people being different
  • the people who make the decision prefer to have the office full because it makes them feel more powerful. They can see the people they lord over.

I learned to write at like 45° clockwise when I was in school just to avoid the smear.

Have you considered trying it from a good pizza place?

It would help all of their competitors. A non zero number of people would move from windows to each of the others.

Whether or not the number moving away from windows and on to each of the others is significant or not is a different matter.

The biggest thing helping Linux right now is Valve's work improving the gaming experience, IMO.

I have 64 too and my usage breaks down to basically be 32 for windows, 32 for different VMs.

You actually agree with me more than you disagree. If they have the mentality to send out clear text passwords, they probably don't hage the natural talent to design an asynchronous system.

Why wouldn't it be generated and sent immediately? If someone has the inclination to do this type of thing, they probably also want to do things synchronously and immediately.
