Shoulda made the revamp of the constitution an enforced, time-boxed process then. Currently the approximate timeframe of getting an amendment through is what, 60 years or so?

How do you think most game scripting engines work?

Nowadays game engines don't rely on strictly speaking hardcoded behaviour, but rather are themselves just a scripting environment to execute a specific format of code.

Skyrim is still the perfect example because it gives you the ability to literally do anything in the world, via a scripting language.

Instructing NPCs to behave in a specific way is also done through these scripts. And LLMs - especially coding fine-tuned ones which could be tied into the execution chain - can easily translate things like <npc paces around> to specific instructions so the NPC walks up and down at a specific distance or in a circle or whatever you want it to do.

You're seriously over-estimating the work it takes on even crappy, but modern engines to get certain things to happen. Especially when it comes to things that are already dynamically scripted. Like NPCs.

Doing a level of local computing on certain devices (especially ones you directly interact with and voice interfacing can matter, say, like, a TV) is useful.

I think the best approach is connected edge computing - combining some local computing and the hub of edge computing, and changing which side takes care of business depending on the needs of the task.

Say, having the ability to turn off the oven when you can smell smoke (or remembering you haven't set a timer and the food is ready), simply by talking to your washing machine while you're loading it, is a useful perk. Sure, an edge case, but the moment it becomes needed, even just once, you'll appreciate it.

Turns out anti-vaxxers weren't just wrong, they were the polar opposite of right.

But human existence is suffering. Buddhism teaches that if you do incredibly well, you'll be reborn as a being with a worry-free life. Being a plankton sounds exactly like that.

IMO human existence, with all its benefits, is waaaaay below plankton.

Yes it is trivial.

LLM can already do tool calling, emotion metadata output and so on. It would take minimal effort for a well tuned model to also output things like facial expressions, body language, hand and body movements and so on.

Gotta reduce the apparent military pressure on Vladdy daddy. Can't have actual military force in range if Putin decides to actually directly strike NATO territory after all.

See this is something I don't get about billionaires.

You already have enough money to literally buy ANYTHING you want. You might not be able to buy slaves but you can pay people to do shit for you, there's even people out there who'd be down for a whipping for a few thousand dollars... You're literally king of the world, without moving a pinkie.

And instead of using all that money, all that wealth to get new experiences, learn new things, discover new places, literally do things no-one has ever done before... what do you ask for?

More money.

It's not even greed anymore at that point, it's a psychological issue, akin to hoarding, except your hoarding ruins the entire planet.

Billionaires shouldn't exist, period.
