Zombies are getting to be parents now?

Woke has gone too far, in my day they would have gotten a bullet between the eyes.

I get what you’re saying, i had not considered it could be interpreted like this.

For the record i do think you exist and are valid.

Just because our brains are flexible enough to adjust for otherwise unmet needs does not mean thats it’s a satisfying happy life, que the history of desperate repressed hetero men sharing a room. But any emotional closeness even to a human is better than depressed isolation.

I also consider non sexual relationships like “bromance” to be part of this trend. Showing emotional affection between non lover friends, especially those not in a relationship should be more normalised.

Technically its human and sheep.

The main thing is that for all cases of homosexuality in animals they are always actually bisexual. Multiple partners at the same time also being common and they are nog picky.

With the exception of homosexuals sheep who will refuse to mate with the other gender. They are homo exclusive for life and you cannot find an exception (as far as i know)

For humans this can be anecdotally the same but because bisexuality does exist in humans and even supposedly homoexclusive people can have heterosexual experience from before they came out that i think there not comparable.

Just like hetero army guys who may pretend one of them is a women for a night, gay people can exist in loving functional hetero relationships. So even for homosexual people i would say its their main preference on top of bisexual baseline.

My theory for a while now that all mammals (except sheep) have a bisexual baseline with a common neurotypical heterosexual bias.

The heterosexual bias makes evolutionary sense because offspring.

The bisexual base line makes evolutionary sense because some gay people taking care of eachothers emotional-social needs is more sustainable then having sexually frustrated subgroup members.

Every organisation with a digital front should host their own servers and data.

I believe its ridiculous how we evolved into paying massive amounts of money just to have someone else own and possibly mistreat our data.

I like single player rpgs.

I very much care, i would love good npc ai.

Havent we been making jokes about dumb ai in games for literal decades before llms came along?

The thing is i want my npcs to be a curated combination of things: environmental awareness, be aware of the dragon in the room, still have scripted interactions but triggered by detecting more complex environmental changes.

More dynamic dialogue options like tone of voice changing depending on wether earlier dialogue made them angry.

Reacting to the player fighting in a sensible way.

Still all coded and developed with human passion but to appropriately incorporate ai into more complex detecting/reacting/interacting mechanics.

Instead what nvidia (who dictates the game industry now) cares about is a “chatbot module” that they can sell to game engines (like unreal) so lazy developers can turn digital objects into a character ai persona.

Somehow the moment llms became able to impress we stopped caring about all the other 99% that is ai that isn’t a conversation simulator.

Hard to proof that one.

There are no legal treatments that a doctor can provide for cancer that employ cannabis, with the exception of counteracting the side effects of chemo.

Any example of a non doctor “healing” cancer with cannabis are going to be anecdotal or questionable at best.

This is however not the first time science has linked cannabis to potentially help with some forms of cancer. But that its some is a very important detail. Last i checked, lung cancer cannot be treated by smoking weed for example.

As long as it actually applied with medical responsibility that is.

Counter argument, every year is the year of the linux desktop because its a good meme to share our enthusiasm for the platform.

Also any year that someone switches their main desktop to linux is the year of the linux desktop for them personally.

It doesn’t have to mean anything beyond it, there is no failure condition or something to chase.

I once read about an idea of putting rice grain sized measuring devices all over an agricultural field with a mesh network to collect all kinds of the data for farming

Then a coworker asked how we would remove such e-waste eventually.

Its not about the planet.

It’s about the society we live in.

Nothing we do is normal, every step of our lives is shaped by human made culture living in human made houses, working for a human made economy.

It is a “world” shaped by and for the majority norm, which by evolutionary dice is “neurotypical”

The example of an autistic world would be the same society but if the majority norm was autistic. Wed have building build by autistic humans for autistic humans. Wed design stores and public places to fit our needs.

Things would be catered to our needs instead of ignored.

Imagine if some human group survived evolution with still having a tail and has lived separate from us. Their culture might involve their tail. Some of their tools might be tail operated. If all humans had a tail except a few then this few would be disabled, but there not because the majority does not.

My point is, disabilities are very real. But their experience is not caused by the individual itself being broken/sick but by “how different” they are compared to the people around them.

Disabilities being contextual does not invalidate their existence.

We do not live in an autistic world, hence we face daily challenges of all sizes. Your benefits are a compensation for these challenges.

Sadly enough the pills rarely help with that, its usually made so you can “peform” like everyone else. (In my experience)

I definitely understand your sentiment, I struggle with many of the same thing.

The thing with perspective is, Imagine a world where:

Humans evolved to be more active during evening, night and morning because midday is too bright for everyone.

Where all clothes where made from no itch materials because everyone hates the itchy ones and therefor wont produce clothes with it.

The meal recipe tell you to add x because otherwise it tastes “too loud” and language evolved for people to have a mutual known understanding of what is meant with that.

Etc

In this world we would not be disabled, you would not need a ramp.

But this world is not any different from the one we live in now. The only difference is people like us being the norm therefore human culture adapts to those norms.

My favoriete example is things like a keyboard, it’s so obviously made for 2 hands. Not having 2 hands is a disability in context of a keyboard but we can just build a different keyboard. The keyboard is not the world. That we can build any kind of keyboard is the world.

This is what i mean with “neurotypical world” normal people don’t understand there are others that need things to be different so they never are. Even when they can be.

Anyway if you are an adult and medication helps you i am not going to object, you are your own expert a you know what is best for you.

I understand that drugs do wonders for many neurodivergent people.

But it didn’t for me and stories like this is why i am really worried about the sentiment in general.

You’re born neurodivergent, in a neurotypical world. Destined to feel different, to be perceived an outcast. To have the supposed norms of how humans are and behave not fit how you function.

But as a child and teen. What do you known about who you are? How humans are supposed to behave. You still have to learn it all.

So during this time of trying to understand yourself, the world, exploring your own personality. They recommend drugs that inhibit parts of your growing mental system.

And so you may mature and grow up, never knowing who you really are to begin with.

As someone who loves science.

I am so glad i decided to pursue video game development as higher education rather then a scientific field.

Granted the illusions in games are gone, every game is now a dull collection of mechanics and The gap between what modern games are snd how i know they could be is depressingly vast.

But at least i can still enjoy hour long deep dives into quantum mechanics and golden ratio. Definitely a good tradeoff.

Thats a very efficient heating element once it collects enough cats.

Does it feed more beasts then using github in general does?

People have hooked up scripts to automate trade based on celebrities using certain hashtags or other data for years.

A non insignificant portion of people has absolutely hooked up an ai to it. I don’t know any, but i take that bet in a heartbeat.

Some will do it responsibly, as an experiment with money they are prepared to loose.

Ai companies themselves might try this as an internal test, like how atrophic has claude managing a real vending machine (which got manipulated into selling tungsten cubes following customer feedback)

Others have probably completely destroyed their own lives. A few may have lucked out.

If its critical, don’t give it to ai without having a secured backup it can’t touch.
