Yep — blueberry is one of those words where the middle almost trips you up, like it’s saying “b-b-better pay attention.”

… I hate this technology so fucking much…

Also, it trying to gaslight you into believing bluebberry is real was very funny.

The threat of AI is not that it will be more human than human. It is that it will become so ubiquitous that real people are hard to find.

I couldn’t find many real people.

Are you sure that I’m real?

That’s not what imaginative means.

If you’d like an example of AI being exceptionally boring to look at, though, peruse through any rule 34 site that has had its catalogue overrun with AI spam: an endless see of images that all have the same artstyle, the same color choices, the same perspective, the same poses, the same personality; a flipbook of allegedly different characters that all. look. fucking. identical.

I’m not joking: I was once so bored by the AI garbage presented to me, I actually just stopped jerking off.

If you people would do something interesting with your novelty toy, I would be like 10% less mad about it.

The CIA will not allow me to answer this question.
However, I do have complementary Skittles.

What part of “I put no time into it” do you not understand?

Considering AI is really unlikeable, I don’t think that’ll be too hard.

I generated it, actually, and I put no time into it whatsoever.

It’s not going away.

Imagine saying this about asbestos, lead, freon, bitcoin, or cigarettes.

You don’t want it to go anywhere, why the hell would I listen to you?

Dude, just let AI fuck your wife too. It can probably do it better than you can.

especially the translations of languages that I don’t understand.

God forbid we dignify those people with a personal touch. Yeah, just let google translate do it: a technology famous for giving really good translations.

or make the parents be the casinos’ first line bouncers

Or, you know, we could just have bouncers on site. Such as a system which asks you to prove you’re older than 13 before you’re allowed to access it.

I mean, this sure is a lot of pontificating and wondering about how the legal system could ever handle such an absurdly vague and difficult task when it already seems to be doing that.

I’m going to invoke a comparison here that you’re not going to like very much. I promise, you shouldn’t take it personally.

I have had 1,000 arguments with fascists who looove tilting this way and that about how philosophically undefinable their behavior is. Zeno’s paradox, the ship of theseus, what really is a “casino” anyway? I’ll tell you this: I’m fine with 80% success. “Oh, but what if someone who is 19 but doesn’t have an ID is rejected by the system? They won’t be allowed to play. :(” Uh, that sucks for them. Oh well. I guess they’ll have to go back to Atelier Ryza.

I have too little power to do that,

Damn, that sucks for you.

but what can you do? lawmakers wont make laws …

You elect lawmakers.

just let me remind you that that happens offline, and it is provable if copies are not preserved.

Fascinating.

if someone cannot properly configure their phones, then they need to be made liable

So, this is exactly the problem I have with you and the other person. It’s this contempt you have for your fellow people. It’s extremely selfish. This isn’t how you talk to your neighbors. You’re not getting invited to any cookouts or block parties with this attitude.

If you and I can agree that children shouldn’t be in casinos, then they shouldn’t be allowed into the casino. I am open to your suggestions.

Wow. The world sucks then, doesn’t it?

No, you’re making it one to sidestep an issue.

If this bad parenting happens often enough to be a real problem, then whining into the wind that “no one has any common sense anymore,” or whatever you’re doing, isn’t a solution.

I do blame the game a little because it’s a game that really, really, really wants you to spend money on diamond gem funbucks.

Let me ask you this question, hm? You don’t want to show your ID even though we all do that for alcohol—fine. Why not: $80 up front, all banners are periodic DLCs, some of them free, there is more than enough korok seeds in game to get all of them, and they never expire—infinite time to twiddle your thumbs before completing them. Would this not solve your ID problem?

That is, unless you would like to spearhead this global movement to teach underprivileged parents how to configure their phones?

Okay. So argue about that then. What does bad parenting have to do with it?

Okay. So is requiring under-13s to ask their parents. I don’t see what the issue is.

It’s comparable to gambling—you should keep up with the thread.

Damn, got 'em. Actually, they deserve to lose $16,000 while raising a gambling addict because they didn’t pull up their bootstraps and micromanage everything their preteen does in “that colorful game they play.”

Mate, asking under-13s to get parent permission is provoking that good parenting you seem to care about anyway—what on earth is the problem?

Tom Cruise. But, plug

Ohhh, okay. I see how it is.

My friends do that.
Live your dream, mate.
Be free~

It’s friday and I’m going to have plenty of drinks, there will be no soda in sight.

Um… congratulations?
