Gwarzo

Catchy title. I work from home as an MSP Enterprise Network Engineer - nothing about work feels anything remotely similar to video games.

I think I'm qualified to know, as I spend way too much time playing video games.

Interesting name.. I too have dreams where I procreate.

I think people are taking the chat bots way... way.. way too seriously.

Am I the only one already bored by GPT/others?

I would almost want to create a new thread for this, but what is the use case of a tablet? Is this for fulltime physical meeting goers to stylishly take notes?

Is there some benefit to using this over a laptop?

That is just a vpn

This is a little bit of an emotional take I think.

The burden of proof is on the claim that you can get there through computation, not otherwise.

We do not understand the fundamental reality of consciousness, this does not mean that consciousness is magic. The assertion that you cannot get there from computation implies there is a currently non understood yet essential piece of physics(I assume, but I do not know) which doesn't fall under "computation". A laymans initial thoughts point this towards the quantum realm.

The subjects of the equality in discussion - i.e human beings or, "we"

Took Ritalin/Concerta most of my life, this is very wrong. Ritalin is Methylphenidate and only Methylphenidate.

Variables are dosage in MG, XR or IR.

Nobody does; he's providing an anecdote.

This is abuse and ends in one way and one way only lol. Why did you do this?

This is my current difficulty - I work as a neteng for a large MSP in my area.

I quit university after my 2nd semester co-op during undergrad (to work at my current firm), I have since been promoted four times and now work as a senior engineer (though I cannot technically use this title). Trying to move firms now after working for 5 years, It is incredibly difficult for other firms to accept that I've been working in the field successfully given that I do not have a completed degree. On one hand, I have skill now that I could have never earned in school - on another hand I may have gimped my ability to move deep into the upper half of the first six figures salary.

This is a meaningless change done for the CEO/CTO's personal ego and/or PR.

This does absolutely zero to affect what is going on. ZERO.

A sort of side comment, but I absolutely despise this type of thinking.

"before you cause someone to go to jail"

If you take legal advice from pseudo anonymous users on aggregate websites you deserve to go to jail. Even in writing that, the users did not "cause" anyone to go to jail; the moron reading and acting on that comment did. Have some respect for individuality mate.

He's not jumping to a conclusion, and I would suggest you add to the arguments instead of patronizing.

This really is it - all you have to do is consistently be around the opposite sex while being generally likeable and care about your appearance. Eventually SOMEONE is going to find you attractive.

"Right. It’s our fault, that is, men’s. We live in a society in which we we have disproportionately had the power. And this is the result."

This is an incredibly asinine take.

"And pointing to the decline of religion isn't very helpful for us atheists"

Pointing to something that is true doesn't need to be helpful. Making the statement it's not helpful to you, is helpful to noone.

Why is that bogus? He's just making an extremely loose claim.

We do know with certainty global testosterone and sperm count is going down.

This is none of the above. Language like the above is used to defend and employ censorship.

Use your big boy brain; this is a persons opinion piece - regardless of whether any of it is evil, good, correct, incorrect you need to employ context.

This is not the bible, this is one person publishing their thoughts to the internet. Keep that in mind always when you read someone's dogshit opinion. "intentional misinformation" is laughable.

It's an opinion piece.. why would you need to copy paste arguments that "DESTROY THIS IDIOTS OPINION!!!!!"

It's just a single persons opinion; take it, dismiss it, do whatever you want with it.

Why do you need to copy other peoples comments to your shitty friends to defend yourself.

I actually don't mind this take - it's no doubt the security rules for google services are a bit over the top, but it's not like they don't have good reason to do it; or even to be anti-user.

Stop morality projecting on others. Having something your untechnical wife is willing/able to use matters.

What world do you live in where you cannot just "go outside" and be there for a window of time.

In what world are you unable to do the above, but perfectly able to have this solved via electronic workout devices.

Isn't that cultural appropriation? Does that mean even 2700 years ago it was a problem? Disgusting.

This is a hilariously uninformed take - it's clear you don't understand how this works so I will just be direct and not make fun of you.

The hedge fund manager has access to billions in managed capital. If he can advertise positions to the public, and the public takes his advice; he can manipulate his billions of dollars vs the known positions he gives out to hedge his own positions.

This is a 5 years olds description of how this works.

Phizer is immune to bad reputation and they know it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_pharmaceutical...

Phizer holds single largest criminal fine in human history at 1.3$ Billion USD (to my knowledge). They have many reasons to lie; while I'm not suggesting they are (I have no idea how I would determine truth from falsehood in the realm of scientific information) it's quite ignorant to make the statement "Why would they lie". They would lie because it's something innate to humans and Phizer is no exception. They stand to make ludicrous amounts of money if boosters become mandated - now boosters may ultimately be the best option for the protection of human life! But this doesn't mean we shouldn't be incredibly skeptical of every word that comes from this organization.

While I am fully vaccinated (ironically with 2x Phizer), I am and will remain hesitant at accepting information provided by pharmaceutical companies at face value until the day I'm dead.

Lol, lopsided erections?

"Toxic people aren't worth the effort to keep them in, no matter how good their skilled contributions are. There can and should be a way to remove them."

This is your utopian ideal - it is NOT indicative of the real world. Sometimes, there are horribly toxic people who are so competent and requisite to a project that their removal would cause immediate and irrecoverable failure.

You made your statement as matter of fact - it is absolutely wrong. There may be times, perhaps even a majority of times that you can simply remove a toxic person - but to state it as the hard rule without exceptions is wrong.

"I honestly believe that at some point, the majority of humans will look at our system of factory farming and “harvesting” of wildlife in much the same way that today we view slavery, colonialism and other egregious examples of human disregard for other lives. I am not saying they are the same thing, but I do think that they are in the same category.'

Do you believe that in our current world state we have some magical alternative we could use to feed the near 8 billion human beings that currently inhabit this planet?

Killing animals for food is neither needless, preventable or causing of excessive suffering by default.
