So let’s start with a hypothetical scenario. (I know strawman, but we’re talking about meta levels of philosophy here and experiments like these usually serve very well to prove a point or contradiction in someone’s logic)
If there is a serial killer who can never be satisfied and can escape any sort of containment given enough time. Is it wrong to execute them?
Oh
My
God
This is awesome
This reminds me of Hydra’s “Compliance will be rewarded”
Agreed, ai slop is stealing all the attention.
“New” and “All” disagree. Respectfully.
Thanks for the heads up on which instances to avoid!!
That’s gotta be the the riskiest of clicks I’ve ever done.
The lines between fact (…) and opinion can be blurry at times
Are they though?
Funny tangent. I remember windows HRESULTS containing E_SUCCESS (error success) and something along the lines of S_FAILURE (success failure) I’m a little fuzzy on that second one though, so someone else can correct me if I have the wrong name for it.
Pretty sure that would count as monopoly as well and the sale wouldn’t be approved.
That… Somehow makes it even worse.
This doesn’t make that behavior any less scummy, but have you tried using any Google website on a browser that isn’t chrome?
I didn’t see this one in the list, but UNN newscast from Starcraft 2 is one of my favorites! Particularly Donny Vermillion.
I used to work in a really big project written in C and C++ (and even some asm in there) and the build was non-deterministic. However the funky part was there was a C file in all of this that had a couple dozen of commented nee lines with a line at the top saying: ‘don’t remove this or the build will fail’ That remains my favorite code comment to this day.
The answer to “is it part of the activityPub spec?” is more often than not a strong No.
That’s the fun part about being in a place where you can hold a discussion. Some people don’t agree with you, but they can still see the benefits of the option you are talking about or even agree that they are a great solution for now.
At least what I see with this experiment/article is that is overly verbose, he takes a long time to get to the point. And then when he does his methodology shows an experiment that cannot be verified. Even when something is “subjective” we can still draw conclusions from it if we set up proper non-subjective ways of evaluating the results we see (ie. Rubrics). The fact that he doesn’t really say what leads him to say in detail what is a “terrible/v. bad/bad/good result” is a massive red flag in his method.
After seeing that, I no longer read the rest of it. Any conclusions drawn from a flawed methodology are inherently fallacies or hearsay.
If in any case it is further explained in the article and that somehow refutes what I’ve postulated later on, then I would have to say that the article is poorly written.
All this to say… I agree with you, not worth the read.
That was the point. That’s what the whole daughter’s plot is about.
I really like this response. This is how I approach it as well on a higher level.
However here we seemed to have glossed over “what is right and wrong” which is a very complex issue and might be biased by the observer.
Hobbes has touched on this subject and the whole construct of society as we know it in his book “The Leviathan”
What we might see as wrong in the case of the killer and their victims, on his end is just an expression of his free will. In his mind he might not be doing anything wrong, given different guidelines for moral or empathy. In fact he may not even consider his victims alive.
So we judge them based on our morals and views of good and evil. Are we correct or are they correct? Hobbes states that the morals of the majority are what we follow in a society. But it’s just something that we’ve constructed.
Edit: once again I’m using a case in where the situation is very obvious and clear cut. But think about when there is more nuance. A society views a certain race or species as a food source or livestock (think us and cows, or us and farmed fish) Are we correct or are we wrong to do what we do?
