So one thing that happens in history is, people stop paying to maintain things or governments don't care anymore, so people start taking them apart and using it for building materials.

Let's say you're a modern day contractor, and need $10,000 worth of brick... or you could go and uh just take some from that old library that no one uses anymore, except some homeless dudes camp in it. You could take down maybe just like one small part of it and not spend ANYTHING on brick. Other contractors are already doing this... No one will care.

Basically what happened to the library of alexandria if I remember correctly. It was less fire and more just hundreds of years of people stopping caring.

    Me: uses random string from password manager

    Computer: password not secure enough

    Me: provides 30 randomly selected words from a large dictionary and a cryptographically secure random number generator

    Computer: no no I meant add a ! to the end, really yell your password. Make me think you mean it :)

    The lion should probably be more concerned with his fucking health, wtf?

    FFS people talk to your doctor and make healthier decisions if you are experiencing this to the point it's noticeable.

    Because you don't own the game anymore. You're renting it from them, as long as they decide to keep it online, and they won't forever.

    It's like "buying" a movie on Amazon. It's not the same as buying a bluray or DVD. It means renting it from them as long as they keep serving it. They eventually will turn that service off and you won't "own" it.

    Humans are just animals at the end of the day. This is all a sexual display of fitness. Hiking and traveling tell people you're physically and financially fit. You can move around no issue. You are social. You are socially and physically healthy.

    They lie a ton and show pics of hiking from 5 years ago and act like they can still do all that. Or they never could and the pics are deceiving... Regardless, it's just a game all genders are playing to show sexual fitness. It looks like carbon copies because it's the best way to communicate "my body moves well and I can afford luxury".

    I don't think there's any risk of real exponential improvement since they're already hitting hardware constraints and AI is in no shape to automate RAM and data center production in its current state, not on its own.

    At a certain point, it just doesn't have the right biology to be ASI.
