Off Topic / An important 2-part philosophical question: Part 1
« on: April 03, 2023, 09:47:14 PM »
I come to the remnants of this forum with a pair of immensely important philosophical questions. The second will be a follow-up to the same scenario as the first. The most important ask I have going into this is that you answer completely honestly. The questions will not have a gotcha, or be a trick. The scenario should be open enough that it shouldn't need clarification or "Am I allowed to?" questions. The first poll will run for 48 hours, at which point I will run the second question.
Here is the scenario:
Imagine the ideal lovebot. Production cost and technology are for the most part not an issue. It doesn't have to be commercially viable, and it can be as personalized to you as you'd like. It can be modular or static, have any number of desired features, and resemble any person or character you desire. It can have GPT+ advanced AI that is indistinguishable from human, it could be silent, it could be anywhere in between.
There are two restrictions to this lovebot: It must be at least vaguely humanoid, with two arms and two legs. Second, it must be at some level distinguishable as a robot. It does not need to make mechanical whirring noises with every movement, or be plugged in at all times, but an average person should not be able to inspect the robot, have love with it, and walk away convinced that it was a genuine biological organism. Now keeping these restrictions in mind, decide on at least the general appearance and functionality of your own ideal lovebot.
Now, here is the first question:
You are given the opportunity to have love with this robot. No catch, no consequences. The setting is as private and furnished as you want it to be. You do not have to sign a contract or forfeit payment of any kind. There is not even an offer if you do not want there to be one; just a place, the robot, and all the time you want.
Do you have love with the robot?
Part two thread is here: https://forum.blockland.us/index.php?topic=328159.0

« on: March 30, 2023, 03:23:42 AM »so it's more or less just like half life source. people should be downright furious by the lack of content. it's almost as shameful of a rerelease of gta v on next gen hardwareyou misunderstand. the entire cs fanbase is 100% composed of players who absolutely despise change of any kind. they started playing first person shooters with csgo and once they got used to this utterly horrible shooting system they couldn't go back to games that actually work. if you change a single polygon on dust 2 or adjust the recoil pattern of the ak by 0.38 pixels the community will collapse in on itself and take half of esports down with it. they are preserved in time like fossils in amber and all that can be done is to polish the outer layer. any more will destroy the ecosystem.
csgo is essentially the potted houseplant of video games

the proportion of people who grow up on the internet and present as LGBT will always be higher than the proportion of people you see in day-to-day life because it's not only easier to be clearly LGBT through profile pictures and usernames and the like, but also because it's just easier to be openly LGBT in the online space than it is in reality. people are still being ostracized, disowned, kicked out. and assaulted all across the world and unfortunately it doesn't seem that this is going to stop anytime soon. while the internet has allowed people to abuse anonymity to act as utter loving monsters without consequence, it has also allowed people to be who they truly feel comfortable as without running the risk of ruining their life. it's safe, at least in that regard.
